Summary
They’re in rehearsal before their last two concerts in Kobe when it happens. It’s just one bad landing, his foot slipping where the stage is dented slightly in one place. No one else notices at first, but Seonghwa feels more than hears the sickening pop in his knee.
The pain that erupts through his body makes dark spots appear, dancing, in his field of vision. He looks around, but no one is there to catch him, so he stays upright, tears springing to his eyes.
Seonghwa and the difficult art of letting yourself be taken care of.

Summary
Glancing over his shoulder, Hongjoong tenses in his seat for a moment. Seonghwa is already looking back at him.
The bartender winks from behind the counter with a fresh bronze mug placed right in front of him. He holds Seonghwa’s gaze for a moment and realizes how it doesn’t seem to burn into him as everyone else’s does these days.
Hongjoong turns back around and smiles at his mother, nodding at whatever she has been aimlessly talking about because that is what his father is doing right beside him.
But all he can think is: Goddamnit.
(Or, better days are to come, if only Hongjoong could get to them without fucking everything up along the way).

a house of (Genius Invokation TCG) cards by ricemancer

Summary
With the rising popularity of this "Genius Invokation TCG" (I assume you must be familiar with it) within and outside of Snezhnaya, coupled with its practice of utilizing well-known figures across Teyvat as "character cards", the Fatui could serve to capitalize on it. Hence: a limited edition Fatui Harbingers deck. What do you think?
Should you have any suggestions regarding the deck, send them along with your next letter. Note that we have no control over the mechanics assigned to each card itself, nor the skills attributed to it. Any problems regarding that front should be addressed to the department of the Sumeru Akademiya responsible for "Genius Invokation TCG", whose address I have—
Childe seals the letter back into its envelope.
(Or: Childe takes an urgent business trip to Sumeru to prevent the premature downfall of his career as a toy salesman (and the rise of his career as a Harbinger) in the eyes of his siblings. Zhongli decides to join.)

Summary
Now come one, come all, to this tragic affair
Seonghwa is just a waiter in Jinju, dealing with a condition he has had since childhood: He can hear people’s thoughts, a side-effect of his illness. He moves through life knowing exactly what the people around him are thinking, and it's not always a pleasant experience.
Two years ago, “The Great Revelation” made it possible for vampires to announce their existence to the world, together with the invention of True Blood, a synthetic blood drink. One night, he meets a vampire who will turn his life upside down, their love story a race against time, against a world that is becoming more hostile against them, slowly but surely. How will they toe the line of eternal life and mortality?
A Matz Vampire AU (with True Blood vampire lore) -- inspired by the "Welcome to The Black Parade" album by My Chemical Romance.

Summary
“I did not expect to see you work as the Starshyna’s messenger boy,” Varka said with a relaxed, almost all-knowing smile. “What happened to Illuga?”
“Nothing,” Flins said. “The Starshyna you might try to steal him away from the Ratniki. It is more appropriate if I come instead.”
Varka had to find something funny in Flins’s half-truth, laughing first and then tapping his chin pensively. “Is he not afraid of me trying to steal you away? I’ll say, it seems like his judgment isn’t as sharp as he’d want it to be.”
Varka was a very touch-oriented person. Always clapping shoulders, patting backs, or holding onto his friends’ arms when he laughed too hard. Flins wanted to feel that for himself.
But when he had it, it felt shallow. He missed the lingering touches, their feet playing under the table, their hands gravitating towards one another. He wanted Varka to hold him and never let go.
It was a lot to ask because Varka did not belong to the graveyard or to Nod-Krai. He belonged to his family back in Mondstadt, whom he had never spoken to Flins about.
Because for the first time, it was Flins who was temporary—not the other way around.
