It's Like Ocean's Eight, But Sumeru Version by Sumisei

Summary
In Snezhnaya, seeing a Harbinger be escorted back to the palace like a scolded child was a more-than-common sight.
When the Wanderer was summoned back to the Sanctuary of Surasthana in the middle of a discussion with some new friends, he thought nothing of it.
Said friends, of course, then decided to break him out of non-existent jail.
(Alternatively, one Wanderer relearns what it means to belong, and eight idiots try to rescue a war criminal from the evil clutches of the Dendro Archon)

(often made up) npcse my beloveds🥺 the drama circulating in outsiders r so funny I love them
"Lord of Verdure and Scaranara are sad, why are you sad?" The two of them froze.
"Scara-" The puppet started.
"-nara?" The goddess finished.
The forest was entirely silent for twenty seconds. And then two voices laughed at the top of their lungs.
"Scaranara!" The Wanderer laughed, clutching his stomach. At this point, he was rolling around the patch of grass, and the aranara were making a game out of jumping over him as he rolled in regular intervals.
The little god was also curled up in a ball, desperately using any breathing technique she could to stop her hysterical laughing, but it was no use, for the two of them would always raise their heads at the same time, and when they did–
"Pfft- BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" And just like that, he spent the entire day being climbed on by aranara and eating the blandest foods he'd ever had in his entire life.

Summary
“I am not a ‘kid’,” the boy spits, drawing himself up to his full height of whatever feet and nothing inches. “The name given to me is Xiao, though some mortals know me better as the Conqueror of Demons—” he throws his head back defiantly, which is adorable, “—I am a yaksha in the eternal service of the people of Liyue, favoured by Rex Lapis, not some glorified troubadour.”
Verr blinks.
“Wow you’re... you’re an insane person, aren’t you?” She says.

Verr Goldet has run the Wangshu Inn alongside her husband for almost a decade. Their oldest patron insists he was there first.
Or, the building of a sanctuary. Told in olive branches refused, taken, and freely given.

“Indeed.” Xiao narrows his eyes. “Tell me, exorcist. Are you getting paid to come in here and bad-mouth me?”
“I work pro bono,” Chongyun says.
“Why don’t you… I…” Xiao splutters, “How about you work pro-go-away— ”
“Xiao!”
“What?!”
Chongyun begins to rifle through his bag. “I apologise if I’ve upset you, Adeptus Xiao,” he says. “It was not my intention. I will be on my way shortly. I have an offering for you before I go, though.” Chongyun produces a strange object from his bag that Verr takes a moment to realise is food—frozen, flavoured ice like they make in Snezhnaya. It’s blue and stuck on a stick for portability. Verr won’t say she isn’t intrigued.
“I do not want it,” Xiao says. Verr sends him a dirty look. “It’s rude not to accept offerings,” she says, unable to keep a bit of a teasing tone out of her voice. “Go on.”
Xiao visibly withers. “Go on,” Verr urges again. “It’s cold, right? You said you like cold.”
Xiao takes the popsicle between his thumb and forefinger, staring at it like it’s about to explode. Verr sighs, “I feel like I’m socialising a stray cat." Wei meows in agreement.
“Do not patronise me, Verr Goldet,” he says haughtily, and then he puts the entire popsicle in his mouth and bites down. Chongyun’s eyes fly wide and he reaches out towards Xiao but it’s too late. Xiao’s expression twists and his eyes begin to water. He coughs pitifully. “Coald,” he says in a pained mumble. He coughs again, sending the pieces of popsicle flying, and winces miserably. Verr slaps her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing.
“Brain freeze,” Chongyun says severely. “You have to lick it, not bite it.”
“Ow.” Chongyun reaches up to pat Xiao’s shoulder. Xiao coughs. Verr can’t hold back the laughter anymore.

Yet no prophets could have foreseen that even in the presence of countless gods, Varka would lay his faith to the one angel his soul longs for.

I prefer this ship DOOMED. heh
“Nicole?” Varka called out, wiping her tears away. The worry in his voice sounded all too foreign to even himself. “Answer me, please.”
“You shall come across a thoroughfare, however, all routes lead to only one destination. And you shall go through it alone.” Nicole said in barely a whisper.
When she opened her eyes, Varka let out a sigh, “You scared me there.” He murmurs, brushing the lock of hair that found its way to her face. “What does that even mean?”
Nicole smiles, her beaded eyes still glistening, “I cannot tell you anything more.” Varka rests his head on her shoulder, just by the crook of her neck. “That bad, huh? That’s not surprising. Remind me not to ask you for a divination again.”
“Sir Varka…” she whispered, voice shaking slightly, “I am not allowed to fall in love with you.”
He pulls his head back, eyes cast downwards, “I know.”
“I cannot love you more than everyone else.”

The Doctor was in love with her potential. In the end, he was yet another scion, watching in worshipful rapture as she performed his miracles.
So Columbina did the only thing she knew how to do when the pressure of godhood became too much: she slipped away without a sound.
we need more columbina fics that isn't a ship fic or where she's a side character in one because she's so damn interesting like she just wants to be treated like a normal person but everyone treats her as someone divine and powerful

Summary
He grabs you from behind the moment the main road is out of sight, his hand over your mouth as he yanks you against him, your back against his front and his arm wrapped securely around your waist.
“If you scream,” Arthur says, “I’ll snap your neck.”
