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
*Part 5 / Web Novel Spoilers*
A retrograde where Rozemyne dies and is forced to go back in time, with each death rewinding time even more. She has hurt and been hurt by Ferdinand many times, and is now back at the start of her journey as a commoner child. With her heart and soul broken from repeated trauma, she decides she is going to save Yurgenschmidt by herself.Welcome to "A Frayed Knot", or otherwise known as "Ascendance of an Edgy Shonen Protagonist: All Routes Lead to Suffering". This idea started because I was tired of all the happy-go-lucky fanfics where they try to make everything perfect, while also inventing a gluten free substitute to sugar, and everyone lives happily ever after. I wanted to make a story where characters experience hardships and trials way heavier than the source material, while trying to keep a similar lighthearted tone to the light novels.
