    Summary

    Out on a mission, Cor Leonis finds a teenager, lost and sick and partway to becoming an MT. Against the advice of all and sundry, he brings him back to Insomnia. There's not a lot of love lost for MTs in the Citadel, but some of its inhabitants may still be young enough to put aside their prejudices.

    Summary

    “…Okay,” Paimon agrees quietly. “Instead… let me do the last thing I can to fix this. With the Heavenly Principles gone, I finally have the power. And you deserve a kinder ending.”

    “Paimon—?”

    “I’ll send you somewhere better than this world you were supposed to wander. Somewhere warm… where you might be able to fill the hollow your sister left behind.”

    --

    White-hot pain lances though Aether's head, taking nearly all his vision with it, as if his body is punishing him for continuing to refuse Childe’s control. The moment his agony-fuzzed thoughts coalesce once more, Aether again curses his disgustingly weak body. A kinder ending… Paimon had been a liar to the very end, it seems.

     

    In another timeline, the world ends, and Aether is tossed into a Teyvat that's peaceful and friendly and wrong, wrong, wrong. If only someone would explain why he keeps getting called a "sub."

    Summary

    Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.

    Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.

    It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, it is said, dragons were creatures of magnificence and victory and prosperity, creatures whose arrival could have a kingdom celebrating for weeks on end. But after a thousand years of disasters and legends shrouded in mist, dragons have become little more than specters of death, and those unlucky enough to find themselves living in one's shadow would do almost anything to step out into the sun. Even if it meant sacrificing one of their own.

    It is fate that Aether and Lumine, twins marked by calamity, are the first to be captured when a dragon descends upon their village and demands a bride. It is chance that Aether is chosen over Lumine when the sacrifice finally arrives. Resigned to a short world of pain before violent death, Aether’s only comfort is that Lumine might still have a chance to safely live on without him.

     

    Then he actually meets the dragon, with its warm scales and amber eyes. And as the seasons turn and change, he finds himself daring to hope for just a little more after all…
