Summary
i am right where you left me, still dancing to the same song, humming the same, crass tune. maybe you no longer know the words, but i will change everything until it sounds like you again.
(we'll never truly know each other, so why not spend the rest of our lives trying)

Summary
the world is vast and is beyond anyone's reach and understanding. love, therefore, is contained in acts of smallness. like a cup of tea. like the act of trying to comfort a person you don't want to lose. like a promise to a distant future. like that centimetres between you that says so much more than words ever will.
or: eunie is made of hard edges, but taion feels nothing but softness, especially when he's brushing his fingers through her wings, battered as they may.

Summary
Jaehyun giggles and wraps one whole arm around Sicheng's waist to bring the other to the back of his neck and nuzzles his face at the juncture of Sicheng's collarbone. It is breathtaking, Sicheng pretends not to be weak. "You're so cunning, Dong Sicheng."
There is a strangeness to whenever someone who isn't a Chinese member says his real name, it rolls off unfamiliarly. Heavily accented with their native language and completely disregarding of its original tones. His own name feels so alien then, it's crazy.
But when Jaehyun says it, heavily accented and demeaning in that way, the strangeness is of a different kind. It is almost erotic, because of the tone perhaps, or because of the effect Sicheng has there. He doesn't know if he reels more in the power or in the powerlessness. It's both sabotaging in its own way though, so Sicheng hasn't really found to solve it.

Summary
Mona's mora problems land her in the hands of a (mad!) alchemist after she accepts a commission to participate in his latest drug trial. After a delayed reaction sends her up the cold peaks of Dragonspine in search of Albedo -whom appeared to be all but vanished from Mondstadt, and her daily life.
Perhaps it's long past due that the two accept their intertwined fates as fellow truthseekers of Teyvat, and as lost souls with their head in the clouds.
