Summary
“Your air here is terrible,” Candace announces, leaning one hip against the counter with a brow raised in a perfect arc, full judgment. “And you look like you’ve been trampled by an angry sumpter beast.”
Nefer snorts, stirring honey into her imported tea from Liyue. “Thank you Candace, you’re very kind.”
“I’m observant,” Candace corrects lightly. She crosses her arms. “Besides, you always did get sick when you’d stay up through the night. Some things never change.”
Nefer hums at that, far too tired to argue. “Doesn’t help that I woke up at dawn, I guess. But Lauma had early duties—it couldn't really be avoided.”
or, Nefer and her terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day (until it's not).

Summary
“I don’t like this outcome,” Lauma had said. Sweet, irrational, exactly what Nefer would expect from her.
It’s almost ironic, really—that the first thing she saw when her vision returned days later was the very expression she’d secretly hoped to see: Lauma’s relief, soft and unguarded, painted in the light of an early morning sun.
“What’s the damage?” Nefer had demanded, not daring to look in a mirror yet.
And Lauma only chuckled, shaking her head. “Absolutely nothing. You’re perfect.”
or, Nefer and Lauma, a few days into the aftermath of saving the entirety of Nod-Krai, figuring things out as they come.

Summary
The climb is steeper than Sciel remembers, and the metal groans softly beneath her as she ascends the final ladder. Her hand ghosts along rusted beams warped by time and ink, passing the old scratched initials—lovers used to come up here, the letterings long since faded with the oxidation.
She almost laughs at herself. What was she hoping for? That the room might still feel the same? That she might feel the same?
Then she steps inside, and the moment her eyes adjust—
“Sciel,” Lune says in a breath caught somewhere in between. Her guitar disappears in a flurry of chroma particles. “Of course you’d run into me up here.”
or, Maelle stays in the canvas and life goes on, just not as Sciel once imagined.

Summary
“My,” Tingyun says cheekily, gracefully sidestepping around Aglaea with the poise of a gifted dancer. She pivots agilely on the ball of her right foot, coy gaze never leaving the Goldweaver’s stationary frame. “I never imagined I'd be handpicked by a demigod. How exciting! But I guess there's always a first for everything, right, Miss Aglaea?”
And Aglaea, to her credit, does not falter beneath the fox-eared woman’s playful gaze. Silently, she wonders how many grow flustered in Tingyun’s presence—it must be an easy feat for her, certainly. There is charm in every smile, every flick of an endearing fox ear, every stroke of a tail. Were Aglaea anyone else, she's sure she'd be under Tingyun's spell in seconds.
or, the one where Tingyun joins the Astral Express on their trip to Amphoreus.

Summary
“You really find me that unbearable?” Mavuika prods, unable to help the grin that tugs insistently at her lips. “Am I that much of a thorn in your side?”
“The worst,” Xilonen stresses, an ear flicking incessantly. “You're the actual worst.”
Her tail swishes between the inches where their hands almost meet, though; curls itself almost possessively around Mavuika’s wrist.
And despite it all—despite her inhuman strength, and inhuman feats, and inhuman lifetime—Mavuika is human at her core. Her gaze wanders down to where Xilonen’s tail rests, where their hands rest, so close. To where her own heart could rest, easily.
or, Natlan needs saving, and Mavuika and Xilonen convene during the moments between.

Summary
“I was just lost in your eyes, Yukong-jiejie!”
“Liar,” Yukong accuses fondly. “You weren't looking anywhere near my eyes.”
And Yukong has grown older, softening in ways Feixiao had not anticipated thirty years ago, when they'd fought side-by-side on battlefields across the stars. Yukong had been fiery passion, and Feixiao had met that fire with a ferocity of her own, borisin powers flaring from within. They'd both been more reckless at the time—hardened edges and steel to cover up the gentler bits not suited for war.
(But then Feixiao thinks of a particular night under the stars. She doubts Yukong remembers it, but that's alright—Feixiao can remember for the both of them.)
or, Feixiao and Yukong after thirty long years.

Summary
“I'll teach you how to press flowers,” Firefly tells her excitedly as they pile into the space pod, Blade and the Stellaron in tow. It should be more frightening, but with Firefly’s infectious energy, Robin can't find it in herself to be concerned. “That way, they'll never shrivel or lose color. You can even turn them into bookmarks!”
And Robin giggles, giddy, and she reaches out to thread a light pink peony through Firefly’s silver hair.
“There,” she says, satisfied. “Beautiful.”
or, Robin travels with the Stellaron Hunters. she thinks that Firefly is prettiest girl in the whole wide world.

Summary
"You wake up, you have memories, but they don't feel like your own. Your emotions are all over the place, yet your mind is younger than the body you occupy, as though time hadn't progressed at all over the past ten years. The daughter you once cradled in your arms now leads your nation. The woman you once loved wants nothing to do with you. You close your eyes, you float through everything that's happened as if in a dream. You can't believe that was you."
"How do you know this?" Cocolia whispers, and she is terrified.
or, that one universe where Cocolia lives.

Summary
As Ruan Mei speaks with the Divination Commission, Yukong stands shoulder-to-shoulder with a criminal, and it’s strange, because Jingliu is a legend in many ways. A compelling hero in many older tales, but a poignant villain written into the lines of the universe’s grander tales in the modern day.
And with all that being said, the Jingliu beside her seems to simmer beneath the surface, flares of emotion kept on a tight leash.
A tighter leash than Ruan Mei seemed intent on keeping on Jingliu.
or, Ruan Mei, Jingliu, and Yukong chase the trails of aeons across the universe.

Summary
The first time Himeko meets Kafka, she waltzes onto the Astral Express with a story on her lips and not even the slightest desire for a drink.
"I have a story for you, darling."
The striking stranger walks right up to the bar, leaning against the solid wood countertop with a dangerous smile on her face and exhaustion in her eyes.
This is not how it's supposed to go.
or, Himeko's a barista on a train that takes the dead to their final destinations. Kafka somehow manages to come and go as she pleases.

Summary
"When was the last time we did this?" Clorinde wonders aloud. "Once upon a time, we sat at this beach a lot, didn't we?"
"We did." Navia nods, all prior humor having fled in the wake of this reality—somehow, time had slipped through their fingers, like fine grains of sand, disappearing into the current of Fontaine's rising waters. "I can't even tell you how long it's been."
or, they reconvene on the beachside, and Navia thinks Clorinde resembles a dejected puppy.

Summary
To Himeko.
Breath hitching, Himeko traces over the letters with her finger. It trails lightly over the uppercase 'H,' pausing briefly over the arches of the 'm,' and then digs its way over to the looping 'o.'
That is her name. Someone left this here for her. Someone left a container with her name on it, on a planet that's dying under the weight of its own blizzards; a planet that Himeko has never seen before in her life.
or, Himeko, Kafka, and the letters they leave for each other across galaxies.

Summary
"This is so stupid. I am so stupid."
She can't meet Natasha's eyes, and she can't explain it very well either; only that she feels like if she meets Natasha's knowing gaze, she'll find herself succumbing to a kindness that she absolutely does not deserve. And if Serval manages to get a glimpse of that—well, maybe all that progress she's put into moving on will truly disappear into a gust of snowy winter air.
or, Serval wonders if there's some sort of miracle medicine in the Underworld. (there actually is, her name is Natasha.)

Summary
The first time she sees Kamisato Ayaka, Nilou swears a part of herself had waltzed out of her body, a pirouette across the empty space, a toe dipping into foreign waters. With a graceful leap, that part of herself – that fickle, teasing piece of her soul – had bridged the gap and blossomed around her—around Ayaka, a sakura blossom dancing atop a warm breeze from overseas.

Summary
Jean has never forgotten this, the way Eula is just naturally attuned to music; the way she taps her heel against the ground to the beat, drumming her fingers against her thigh, eyes brightening and smile widening when the chorus swells and the instrumental soars. It's as though she's just itching to leap from her chair and dance, unadulterated energy encapsulated like the crest of an ocean wave, and—
Eula is beautiful. She is beautiful always, and Jean knows this well.
or, it's hard to forget someone like Eula Lawrence, even after eighteen years of regrets.

Dehya has never been the best at writing, with the flowery language of the scholars and storytellers, but even she knows that no humanly word could ever describe the relief that floods her body at the sight of Dunyarzad perking up the moment she sets her eyes on her protector.
