you have transformed me with strange tenderness by Zorriya

Summary
The strangest, haunting sound vibrates across the island.
When close enough and when the sun momentarily dips beyond a thick cover of clouds, Flins’ eyebrows rise.
It shouldn’t be possible to confirm the identity, much less make out the details, from the distance and harsh daylight torturing his poor nocturnal eyes, yet he does anyway—for the dark, warm brown and orange stand out against an expanse of white. His eyes flit downwards as he registers the movement, the movement of legs rhythmically pushing and sliding in front of each other.
Master Illuga, hands on the straps of a backpack, mouth covered in a scarf to protect himself against the cold, is skating. To him.

Summary
"Your beans are enchanting, Little Master, and I ask for your permission to squeeze them,"
Illuga's ears, triangular and quite big compared to the rest of him, twitched and faced towards his current nuisance in life: elegant, leather-clad and unfortunately attached to someone who enjoyed nothing more than teasing him. He resisted temptation and rolled himself into a miserable ball of grey fur. Sometimes, the best way was to ignore one's bullies and not give them the satisfaction of a reaction. Yes, Illuga allowed his paw to be held by said nuisance. Flins pressed his finger against a delicate pink toe bean. He then fucking cooed.Or: Illuga gets cursed and is transformed into a cat. Flins takes care of him.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON NOD-KRAIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE
Presented by the Sumeru Akademiya Press, Department of Historical Ethnography
Volume XII, Issue 3—"The Lightkeepers: Myth, Memory, and the Long Night"Selected papers, recovered correspondence, and transcribed artifacts presented at the Third Annual Symposium on Nod-Kraian Cultural Heritage, held at the Akademiya Grand Lecture Hall, Sumeru City. Compiled and edited by Dr. Vireshka Dastur, Chair of Northern Teyvatian Studies.
Editor's Note:
The Lightkeepers of Nod-Krai remain one of the most enduring and least understood institutions in Teyvatian history.
This volume collects several papers and primary source materials presented at the third Annual Symposium on Nod-Kraian Cultural Heritage. Of particular interest is the ongoing scholarly debate surrounding "Ratnik Flins," whose historical existence remains hotly contented and whose relationship with the better-documented Starshyna Illuga Nikitovich continues to generate discussion in fields ranging from military history to folklore studies.We trust our readers will find much to consider.
Flins and Illuga's footprints in Teyvatian history.

Summary
Varka's mouth curves slightly. His finger traces another slow circle against the glass, deliberate now, no pretense left in it. The flame trembles under the motion.
“I won’t lie,” he says, voice low, easy in a way that isn’t entirely innocent anymore, “I have a lot of questions. I thought this was me showing restraint.”
“Restraint,” Flins repeats, unbelieving – but there’s a strain threading through it now, subtle, tightening. “If that’s what you call it.”
Varka’s thumb drifts higher along the curve, unhurried, testing the reaction again, watching it closely. “And what would unrestrained look like?”Varka and Flins are supposed to be watching for the Wild Hunt. Instead, they watch each other.
or, Varka is curious about Flins's true form.

Summary
“You enjoy teasing me, don’t you, Mr. Flins?”
“A favorite pastime of mine, I must say.”
Illuga gives Flins a dry side-eye. The expression softens soon after, however. “Then care to make a wager?”
“Let’s see who can fluster the other first.”

Summary
"What do you think it is to be human?” Flins asks, slow and deliberate, fingers tracing the rim of his drink.
“To be human is to feel,” Illuga says, definitively. “To be human is to hurt, to bleed, to cry. And then wake up the next day and do it again. Wake up a thousand times and do it again, knowing that the pain doesn’t stop.”
Flins’ gaze is piercing. “Why?”
“Because if we can still feel pain, we can still feel joy.”
Illuga thinks he knows what it means to be human. He has a few things to learn.

Summary
The wind has decided to be kind to him today, threading under the plated metal and providing a fresh lightness onto his covered skin. His vision gleams at him, even from its place on the desk of his chamber, helping reassure him that the hefty kegs of beer await him in Angel’s Share.
Music flows from somewhere on his left as he stands readily, waiting for the opposition to fill the field. They are nowhere to be seen.

Summary
Jack looked from the intern picture to Robby again, rubbing a tired hand over his eyes. "Jesus, this is like a recipe." He gestured between the picture and Robby, young and old. "It's like twink plus seasoning equals daddy. Fuck," he said, a kind of helpless note to it. Then he walked out, like he hadn't just dropped a bomb on Robby's head.
What did that mean?

Summary
Jack had just stepped back onto the main floor when he clocked movement at the ambulance entrance, two guys hurrying in, the smaller one helping a guy with a sweatshirt covered in blood. But something was wrong, some unnamable instinct rising within Jack at the way they moved. It was too fluid, too controlled. Jack knew what the walking wounded looked like, had seen it for years, from war zones to bar fights. This wasn't the injured seeking help; this was men hunting.
Time slowed, Jack's heart rate spiking, the adrenaline dump casting everything in sharp relief—the full ED floor, patients plus shift change meaning twice the usual personnel were here.
Robby was here.
That thought got him moving, Jack approaching laterally. He got there right as the guns came out.

Summary
What he did see was one dark, iron-clad Knight in the aftermath, drenched in obsidian blood, heaving for breath. The moment those eyes locked on his, Illuga knew this was no nightmare. He could recognize that wicked grin in his dreams.
“Hey, Captain. Fancy running into you here.”
Lohen’s sword, twirled in an idle hand, cut through the moonlight.
“Care to spar?”
Perhaps nightmares are simply the truths that reality refuses to speak aloud, revealed without disguise.
A Knight and a Lightkeeper find each other in the woods.

Summary
"Okay," Illuga says in a whisper, then once more as if assuring himself, a steadier squeeze to Flins's hand when he says more sure, more certain: "I'm ready now."
Oh, dear. What an endearing little spark he's found. Flins is half-tempted to pluck a piece of him to devour in entirety. It would be Flins' right, as the holder of this boy's name, and to use up the debt Illuga unknowingly crafted himself.
Perhaps this very night. A fleeting memory for the boy that he will lose over time, anyway, as human memory is wont to do. Flins could simply—nudge that timeline along, quicken its erasure until its sits whole and content in the vessel of his body to taste and experience whenever he may so desire as the years pass, lost to this child, made but a dream or an illusion.
Flins closes his eyes, squeezes gentle, ever so soft against the steady pulse beneath the pads of his fingers as he lets Illuga continue to hold his hand. Waves the idea of taking something away with a rueful craving that will linger long after Flins has returned to his lighthouse and bid the child goodbye.
Flins offers his protection as a marriage price. It really only gets worse for him from there.

“Finally,” they say, oblivious to Illuga’s mental slip and subsequent panic, “Are you Captain Illuga?”
“Oh, you’ve heard of me?”
“Someone,” they say tightly through their teeth as their hand, which holds Flins’ delicate lantern, begins to shake with what Illuga can only describe as inconceivable amounts of anger, “can’t stop talking about you!”
“How long has he been like this?”
“Two days,” the Traveler tells him.
"I commend your sacrifice."

Summary
sunlight is the thing with feathers
which burns with guilt and life
and brings them hope without a word
and never skips a stride,and sweetest in the night is seen,
and dark must be the cloud
that could dampen this brightest gleam
which lifts many a moodI've seen it in the chillest land
and on the strangest sea;
a nightingale rests in its soft hand
both guides of song and shine.(or, in which illuga finds out there’s more to him than meets the eye.)
