    Summary

    “I have… Been through a lot.”

    Lumine frowned. “‘A lot’ seems to be a gross understatement. You’re like a walking ball of trauma. Being enslaved and tortured for decades and then losing your whole family and then fighting this endless war, alone, seems to qualify as more than ‘a lot.’ Maybe more like 'constant suffering.'”

    “I have a contract, and it’s my duty and my honor to fulfill that contract. Even now that you defeated Osial, it’s still my job to defend Liyue from the demons that plague it.” Xiao rubbed his Vision between two fingers. “I’m the last defender in this invisible war.”

    “Hm.” Lumine sighed and rested her chin on her palm, looking up at Xiao with big honey-yellow eyes. “Then who will defend you?”

    Xiao's Backstory, from being enslaved and tortured to losing everyone he cares about; and the subsequent Story of how he finds healing in a certain Outlander. Angst ensues and relief follows.

    Summary

    By his second night in the Yiling Burial Mounds with the Wen Remnants, Wei Wuxian knows he has to do something drastic to make sure the people he's responsible for now not only survive, but thrive.

    And since people already condemn the Yiling Patriarch for starting his own sect, well. It might be the way to go.

    Summary

    She's so tired of being strong, of having to constantly break her back just for it to never be enough. Feeling the noose around her neck grow a little tighter every day, waiting for the ground to drop out from beneath her feet because she knows salvation isn't coming. Except salvation is here, just not in the way she ever expected.

    Would it be so wrong of her to be weak, to indulge, to be taken care of instead?

    Can she be selfish for once?

     

    College student Gorya is stretched thin struggling to handle monthly rent, family loans, and the expenses of attending the elite university Köcher, when the king of the school and one of Thailand's richest heirs, Thyme Parama, offers her a deal that could flip her whole world upside down.

    Gorya makes a decision.

    Summary

    "You're a cavalry captain to an order of knights with no cavalry to speak of. Your intelligence network is outstanding yet you never use everything you learn. Jean and Amber are the face of the Knights, while you scuttle about in the shadows laying down scraps of clues for them to find. To make them more successful. Not to mention that you too were a son to Lord Ragnvindr but no one, least of all you or Diluc, acknowledges that anymore. While he shines as the eligible bachelor in the day and Darknight at dusk, you support him from the shadows. And you're here now, with me on a journey with no clear goal at the moment. Lending me your time and expertise when you likely have plenty of work back in Mondstadt. No thanks needed. Nothing in return. It just...makes no sense. You make no sense, Kaeya," Lumine grumbled.

    Trust is a tricky thing with Kaeya, as Lumine had learned. Even their months of traveling together weren't enough to make him open up to her freely. Though, if someone told her that all she needed to do to make Kaeya talk to her was wine him, dine him, and challenge him to a game of 20 questions, she would have done so long ago.
