    Summary

    “I know it’s hard to trust my words now, when they are the very same weapon I used to cut your heart in the first place.”

    The Hydro Sovereign stumbles into their home, covered in his own blood with strands of silver laced between his fingers. The Duke of Meropide rushes to his aid, only to discover that the bond that they once held so dear was forcefully broken by another.

    When cherished words are weaponized and can no longer be trusted, and new scars are layered atop old, it serves as a reminder that broken hearts can mend; and old wounds will heal, in time. As the pair work towards finding the assailant, they must learn to trust one another and rebuild the foundation of what they are and what they want to be.

    Will the looming shadow that threatens to consume them in the darkness prevail, or will the fury of a broken beast set them free from the chains that keeps them apart?

    Summary

    Wriothesley thought he'd managed to move on. It had been over fifteen years ago for gods sake. It hadn't caused him problems in years, he thought he'd finally managed to leave that part of himself behind, but as he starts slowly getting closer to the Chief Justice, to Neuvillette, it all starts to bubble back to the surface again. Maybe he hadn't moved on as much as he'd thought.

    Nearly two decades later, more of the truth about what exactly Wriothesley's foster parents did starts coming to light.

    Summary

    In the future, the Tsar of Snezhnaya is named Tartaglia. He is a sinner, guilty of treason, deicide, murder, depravity, complacency, and worse. How fitting it is, that he should meet his end in the place where his descent began. Had he never stepped foot in Liyue, he never would have lost everything that truly mattered. He never would have found it either.

    Love... hate... Childe can no longer tell the difference. All he knows is that the god dying in his arms deserved better than what Childe gave him. If he had one wish, here at the end of his miserable existence, he would wish to go back and take a different path. Luckily, there is at least one god willing to listen to the pleas of a wicked man.

    But when wishes become reality, do we really have the power to fulfill our foolish promises?

    Summary

    The court falls silent, Neuvillette swallowing hard as he attempts to steady his breathing.

    An indecipherable amount of time has passed since he placed the ticket into the Oratrice, and the audience is on the edge of their seats waiting for the verdict.

    He can’t believe this is happening.

     

    Or: Neuvillette's feelings for Wriothesley manifest in a way that's impossible to ignore.

    Summary

    And not one will know of the war, not one
    Will care at last when it is done.
    Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
    If mankind perished utterly;
    And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
    Would scarcely know that we were gone.

    In the year before the Traveller arrives in Fontaine, Neuvillette and Wriothesley learn a little more about one another.

    And then, they learn rather a lot about one another.
