    Summary

    “It is no great chore to look at you,” Flins mumbles. “On the contrary, I think some might consider it a reward.”

    Illuga feels his face heat up. “Flatterer.”

    There’s a long pause, and then Flins asks: “Is it— Is it really ‘flattery’ if it’s the truth?” and Illuga is thrown for a genuine loop.

    “Well fuck,” he says. “I guess not.”

     

    Varka finds a way to get Flins drunk. Illuga gets to deal with the fallout.

    Summary

    It's known that when you find a pretty man with no mora on the streets, the three vital steps to courting are: take him home, fight him, then marry him.

    Tartaglia, Emperor of Snezhnaya, follows this to a tee. Except, that's just his way of doing things.

    Zhongli doesn't know anything.

    Summary

    Ratio said steadily, “If you have a few minutes, I can walk you through something to settle your nerves.”

    “Settle my nerves? Why not? Can’t hurt. Hit me with it, doc.”

    That was how it started.

    Summary

    “This is childish.”

    “I’m just asking if you want a turn on the pool float.”

    “No, I do not want a turn on the pool float!” Ratio groans, exasperation spilling forth. “This is entirely unnecessary and immature—”

    “Fine,” Aventurine interjects, effectively pausing the doctor’s tirade. “Then don’t. But you should know that the duck will be saddened by your rejection.” He throws Ratio a knowing glance. “As will I.”

    Ratio exhales a weary breath, lifting a hand to signal a pause. He takes a moment to steady himself before coming to a decision.

    “You are unbelievable,” he mutters beneath his breath. “Fine. I will try the damned thing.”

    Following their tribulations in Penacony, Aventurine and Ratio receive an unexpected gift from Jade—a much-needed vacation at at the most exclusive resort in the cosmos.

    With only each other, the sun, and the beach for company, it's a stark contrast to their everyday lives. As they struggle with the complicated shift in their relationship, a disappearance at the hotel, and the constant battle to keep their emotions in check, it all threatens to unravel completely.

    Summary

    Apocalypse: Star Rail might be the worst game Dr. Veritas Ratio has ever played. In what world is murdering half the known universe for no reason even remotely reasonable? What kind of game kills off its most compelling characters just for shock value?

    Also, why is he now in the game — and as a damn NPC, out of all things?


    【 Activation Code: “Moronic developers, moronic game.” It is our sincere wish that during your time, you can fulfill your desires and, in accordance with your wish, transform a piece of moronic work into a magnificent, high-quality, first-rate classic. Bound Role: Unnamed male NPC of the Veritas Prime star system, age 0. 】

    【 Congratulations! Welcome to Apocalypse: Star Rail, version ██! 】


    Well. If these idiot developers can’t take constructive criticism, Veritas might as well construct the criticism himself… by forcibly inserting himself into a plot where he’s never existed.

    Summary

    "I am not sick, per se," Flins admits. "It is... an involuntary bodily reaction which comes after being submerged in a body of water for too long without reprieve."

    A pause.

    "There was... also rather a lot of Wild Hunt that needed dealing with, too--"

    "Sir Flins, you just described the process of being sick."

    Summary

    Brought to you by autism and special interest, and ordered into something that might loosely be categorized as 'chronological,' I present to you: Illuflins, but I am incapable of not including more fae lore than what's considered healthy.

    Summary

    He let his hand go slack and blinked when Illuga still didn’t let go. “Okay,” he whispered, remembering that he could speak.

    Illuga shook his hand lightly. “You’re a good person, Lohen. I’m sorry that I’m prying so much, but you seem like you need to hear it.”

    I do? Maybe if you say so, I do need to hear it. Varka had said it many times, but it simply tasted sweeter when the words rolled off Illuga’s tongue. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry that you’re feeling so much for someone like me.

    Summary

    "Told you," he croaked out with strength he gathered from Varka’s presence.

    Varka's hand found his cheek immediately, thumb brushing carefully and lightly over his jaw. "What?"

    "You said—" Lohen swallowed, throat raw. "’Wait here’."

    Varka asks. Lohen listens. Both of them suffer emotionally as a result.

    Summary

    Varka sat down on a stool beside the cot and brought his hand to Lohen's forehead. “Mhm, you're still a little warm.”

    “How long have I been out?” 

    “Nearly nine days. I wouldn't say ‘out' of it necessarily, but you've somehow managed to sabotage yourself even whilst being out of it.” Varka glanced at the patterns the stained glass was forming on Lohen's lap, then pointedly at the cuffs that dangled by the cot railings. “Barbara was forced to give you numerous sedatives just so you wouldn't hurt yourself.”

    “Oh.”

    Varka stayed quiet for an uncomfortably long time after that. Eventually, he swallowed dryly and opened his mouth. “Lohen.”

    “I don't want to talk about it, Varka.”

     

    Or, Lohen grieves.

    “A creampie from you.”

    Summary

    "I’ll walk back to Mondstadt. You can follow if you want to or you can keep your distance. You can run, or you can try to attack me,” His gaze dipped briefly to the boy’s blade. “Either way, I’ll keep walking.”

    Lohen did not move, just silently stared, so Varka turned his back. It was a risk, a foolish one, perhaps. Every nerve in his body knew it. The space between his shoulder blades prickled, waiting for the kiss of metal, for that impossibly clean edge to find its mark.

    But nothing came.

    Summary

    “Oh, and one more thing before you leave,” Varka said, his curiosity getting the better of him. “How did you convince him to even try out for the Knights?”

    At that, Adorno’s expression shifted into a peculiar blend of amusement, apology, and unmistakable mischief.

    It was the exact expression that always made Varka wary because, for all his benevolence and chivalry, Adorno had a talent for being deeply unpredictable when he wanted to be.

    “I may have made you a target,” Adorno admitted, his tone far too casual.

    Varka blinked, his brain struggling to process the words. “You did what?!"

    AKA:

    My interpretation of Lohen’s Character Story, also known as: how he joined the Knights.

    Summary

    The first time Blueberry Jar eases himself into Aventurine’s bathtub, huffing haughtily as if he hasn’t just splashed soapy water on every tiled surface of the bathroom, the other cat cakes don’t react well — Acorn, Bell, and Rose screech with an intensity Aventurine hasn’t even fathomed they could possess.

    Which is why, after a brief exchange with Ruan Mei, that Aventurine and Ratio are invited to visit Herta’s Space Station, with their family of cat cakes.

    Summary

    “Hold on,” Ratio interrupts, dread slowly setting in. “Aventurine… What did you name the catcakes?”

    Aventurine grins. “Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you, doc. Meet Bingo, Bet, and Barrel!”

    Silence.

    “Aventurine.”
    _________

    Ratio and Aventurine find three catcakes at the space station. Aventurine adopts them. And that's all that happens, really.
