    Summary

    “Have you ever thought about retiring?” Barbatos asks him one day. The Anemo Archon swings his legs lazily over the edge of the cliff face overlooking Liyue Harbor, head tilting back and forth no doubt from a song in his mind.

    “Such fanciful thoughts,” Morax huffs, not turning away from his work desk. “So long as the people need me, I will uphold my duty to Liyue."

    Summary

    Six months after freeing Vennessa and her people from Mondstadt’s corrupt aristocracy, Venti feels the chains of his curse tighten.

    It had been negligible the first few weeks, but the longer he stayed awake, the stronger the call was for him to fall into slumber. He doesn’t want to abandon his people. Not yet...and not again.

    Summary

    "Your lackadaisical attitude toward Mondstadt and your broader responsibilities will get you into trouble soon enough,” Dahlia says, but Venti squints at his herald. Dahlia would playfully quip at him here or there about his status as absentee archon, but it was exactly that—playful banter between them with no malice behind the words. These words, however, held no joking nature to it. “Barbatos.”

    Venti flinches so hard the stem of the wine glass shatters in his hand. Divine ichor the color of teal pours from a cut in his hand—something that’s only possible now that he’s shed that cursed Celestial relic. It closes a moment later, but the phantom pain remains in the wake of the powerful presence beside him.

    “Ruler of Death,” he whispers as calmly as he can, the slight waver in his voice betraying him. “What do I owe the pleasure of your company this fine evening?”

    Summary

    Diluc reread the letter once. Twice. He took a shaky inhale, burning the letter in what was second nature to him now.

    Could Venti…? No, no, the bard may sport the braids of the Anemo Archon and have many unique skills up his sleeves, but there’s no way….

    Diluc needed to get Jean involved. Now.


    Or, Diluc and Jean know something is off about Venti. Diluc suspects, Jean doubts, and in the end, the Anemo Archon has a much-needed conversation with both of them.

    Summary

    Today marked three years, seven months, and twenty-eight days since Morax’s death to his people.

    And exactly one day since Focalors’ death.

    That had been when he had his first dangerous thought.

    Would the Heavenly Principles notice if he died?

    They had lost faith in him, and somewhere along the way, he had lost faith in himself too.

    Yet, as the wind wrapped around him in a final embrace, Venti found that he felt no regret. His nation had lost faith in their god, and he had lost faith in himself. Perhaps this was the only true way to honor them, to free them from a god who had forgotten what it meant to be free.

    He stepped forward, off the cliff, feeling the wind rush past him as he fell. His body plummeted through the air, and in those final moments, he thought of Mondstadt—the city he had loved, the people he had cherished. He thought of his friends, those who had come and gone, and the Nameless Bard who had taught him what it meant to sing with joy, to live with a heart full of freedom. Would anyone notice that their god died today?

    Summary

    “Be careful,” she heard Venti say from beside her. “The next step is steeper than the others.”

    That simple sentence is what made that nagging feeling at the back of her mind finally click for Glory. She knew this voice. Oh, oh, of course she did! It was the one that’s been guiding her for as long as she could remember—though not as ethereal sounding as it normally was—but the tone, cadence, and manner of protective speaking were the exact same.

    She hadn’t realized she had stopped on the steps. Venti’s arm was still linked with hers and she heard him gasp in surprise as the motion pulled him back slightly. “Glory? You okay?”

    “It’s you,” she said, not elaborating further.

    “Huh?” Venti, no, Lord Barbatos replied, obviously confused. “Me?”

    Summary

    Kaeya is suspicious.

    Something is up with Venti. A lot of his stories don't add up. A lot of his anecdotes contradict each other. And yeah, sure, he lies a lot, but even when he doesn't there's something up with him. He swears. And sometimes, when he looks at him, or when he talks, he behaves suspiciously like the anemo archon.

    No, surely not. That would be a little too ridiculous.

    Summary

    “What brings you here, Liyuan?” The bartender asks.

    Zhongli hesitates, then considers the question. "Do you happen to know where I might find a young bard in viridian green garb?”

    In the wake of Osial's defeat and his surrender of his Gnosis, Zhongli visits Mondstadt in search of Venti, unsure of what to do without his divine duties chaining him down. If anyone could answer him, surely it would be the Archon of Freedom.
    Ft. Mondstadt's people being protective of their god.

    (Alternative starting scene for For the Lack of a Gnosis. Can be read as a standalone.)

    Summary

    "Well, according to Morax, a recent development has," she hesitates, "rendered that. Futile."

    Yae Miko blinks, registering the words. "You mean to say that human identity of his is gone," she says finally.

    "From what I understand, yes." There's a touch of sorrow to Ei's brow, not true sadness, but at least the sympathy for an old colleague. The two never got along, but it was a well-known fact among the gods that Barbatos always liked to play human. To have that taken away from him must be painful, so of course Ei feels some pity, estranged as they may be.

    Yae Miko, on the other hand, is not estranged from Barbatos. As such, her response to such a development is not anything so clinical as sympathy, of all things. Her eye twitches. "You mean to say that his little persona is gone," she repeats, "and he didn't tell me?"

    (or, Barbatos had it coming for not letting her know, and Yae Miko will stand by that.)

    Summary

    “Venti, someone saw you.”

    There’s a pause. “Someone saw me,” Venti repeats.

    “Nimrod,” Diluc nods. “Got drunk in Angel’s Share afterwards. Charles told me, which means that everyone in the bar must know by now, and probably half the city.” Then he mutters something about Kaeya, which Venti would address if he felt anything like normal. It’ll be fine, probably.

    The idea of Nimrod knowing, of half of the city knowing –

    Anemo rises up between Venti’s limbs before he can even put the idea into words. He doesn’t think about it, barely processing what he’s doing, before he blinks out in a flurry of teal.

    (Venti intervenes with an Abyssal threat and gets caught. Mondstadt doesn't see him again for weeks.)

    “Anyone who is able to correctly guess and get Venti to reveal what sort of Non-mortal entity he is, will get all their drinks bought by me for the next year!” Varka declared

    OR

    Venti lets slip that he isn't a mortal so the people of Mondstadt turn it into a game to figure out what he is

    Summary

    Since arriving at Camp Half-Blood, Danny hoped that he'd get at least a little break from the whole "My life is a nightmare because my parents hate me for existing and will rip me apart molecule by molecule the second I step into Amity and oh yeah I'm somehow half-god in addition to being a halfa? Somehow???" thing.

    What Danny didn't count on was being the son of a god whose job may be compromised if he placed Danny's safety over it. Hence, no one can know (aside from Nico) until said god can prove to the Olympians otherwise. Unaware of all of this, Percy and Jason are dead-set on figuring out who Danny's godly parent is via various themed camp activities. For some reason...

    Danny just hopes he survives the first few ideas on their list. Maybe at least five? Yeah, five is good. Danny could handle that. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen for any guesses after that.

    Summary

    "Grandmother is visiting,” Damian said suddenly, as if it were the most ordinary fact in the world.

    Bruce froze. The words echoed in his skull. Grandmother?

    Tim was next to react. “Who?” he blurted, the question half-startled, half-intrigued.

    Damian’s scowl deepened. “Are you deaf, Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.”

    Bruce felt a twitch at the corner of his jaw. His mind raced. Ras has… a partner in the picture? Not that it mattered, of course—Wayne family dynamics were already… complicated.

    Dick crouched slightly, trying to bring himself to Damian’s level. “She—”

    “He,” Damian corrected, sharp as a blade. “He is coming. Not ‘she.’”

    Or,

    No one expected Damian’s grandmother to be hot enough to cause a collective Wayne family breakdown.

    Or for Bruce to recognize him as that Danny — the League assassin he used to have a very inconvenient crush on.

    [Inspired by a tumbr post.]

    "Took you longer than expected to wake up," Aerion observed his voice straining with effort. "I have been here for nearly three minutes."
    Dunk blinked.
    "I don't usually expect people to murder me in my sleep."
    Aerion's lips twitched.
    "Then how, pray tell, did you survive Flea Bottom? Dumb luck?"
    "Mostly stubbornness."

    After the Ashford incident, Prince Meakar sent Aerion north to marry Duncan Stark of Winterfell. Aerion is unhappy with this arrangement but soon after meeting the man his mind changes...maybe this would be a good thing.
