    Summary

    She clings to the memories she still carries in her heart, the ones she still plays in her mind.

    The muscle memory burns deep, sinking into her very bones, causing her to pause mid-conversation.

    As though the silence will respond.

    And it does. It always does.

    After the loss of the Ragnvindr household’s master and the departure of those who once filled its halls, Adelinde remains at Dawn Winery, tending its routines as though nothing has changed. But in the quiet hours, the house remembers what it no longer says aloud—and she learns to live among the echoes of what used to be.

    Summary

    When Diluc receives a coded message from Nefer on the same day foreign diplomats arrive from Nod-Krai, the timing is too precise to be a coincidence. It's not long before he and Mondstadt’s leaders find themselves navigating a shifting landscape of diplomacy, with more questions than answers at every turn.

    Summary

    There's something nostalgic about being on a rooftop above the rest of the city. Feeling the cool evening breeze brush against his cheeks, Kaeya gazes up at the stars, recalling a simpler time when he didn't even know about their existence.

    He takes a long sigh. Life has been more peaceful lately.

    Almost too peaceful.

    There's something about it that bugs him. Not that he prefers drama— it's just that something feels off when everything's going right.

    The thought makes Kaeya anxious. He'd rather be in control of the narrative, instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Or maybe he's just bored. Mondstadt has no doubt experienced the ill effects of Kaeya Alberich when he has too much time on his hands. After all, a restless Cavalry Captain is a dangerous thing. Especially one with an inkling of a plan and the ability to forge documents.

    Alternatively: Kaeya gets impatient with the speed at which Diluc and Eula are progressing in their "almost" relationship, so he tries to play wingman.

    Little does he know what happens when one attempts to control the narrative.

    Summary

    She tugs on Escoffier’s arm, beckoning her to the battlefield, which now looks like a storm had torn through an egg farm, shattered shells and liquid yolks everywhere. Kaeya watches as they simultaneously freeze and egg their enemies into oblivion, loud cackling continuing to echo throughout the domain.

    He shudders at the thought of Furina being on his team, although he knows with the right prodding, he could possibly harness and unleash that chaos on others instead. Like his brother, for one, who was probably a part of this setup. And maybe even Albedo… how else did Escoffier get into his apartment?

    There isn't enough wine in Mondstadt for me to handle your chaos, he wants to say. But he knows that saying it aloud would be giving Furina the satisfaction, so he says nothing, merely continuing to eat in silence.

    For now.

    Alternatively: A spontaneous, "hot potato" type of collaboration filled with the antics of two chaotic main characters and a bunch of their loved ones who get pulled into their crazy shenanigans.

    Summary

    Eyes widening slightly as it hits him, Albedo mirrors her frown. "I see… if you are referring to the recent behavior of our partners, which I believe you are, then yes, I have been experiencing something rather troubling, as you say."

    Eula heads toward the couch and takes a seat, crossing one leg over the other. "I know they don't quite see eye to eye," she begins with a sigh. "But it seems something happened a few nights ago, and I'd like to get to the bottom of it."

    Albedo bites down on his lower lip. "I see what you mean—just to be sure; are you referring to their, ah, exchange during truth or dare the other night? It certainly did get rather tense, at a point."

    "Precisely."

    Alternatively: After an eventful night at Angel’s Share among friends, Albedo and Eula must deal with the aftermath of mutual misunderstandings and unspoken tension between their partners.

    They decide to intervene before it gets worse.

    Summary

    In a quaint studio space above Angel's Share, Diluc and Eula begin the slow work of building a life together. But between old habits, clashing expectations, and the countless traces left in their shared space, both are forced to confront how deeply the other has come to inhabit their world.

    Summary

    Summary

    Years after returning to Mondstadt, Diluc begins mentally preparing for travel to a place he once hoped he'd never see again, simply because Lumine and Paimon are headed there next.

    Of course, Jean is completely against it, given his 'persona non grata' status. But she lets something slip through the cracks.

    What Diluc starts to uncover from Jean and Kaeya is a tangled political mess of negotiations, countermeasures, and secrets surrounding his initial return to Mondstadt - all so profoundly ridiculous that it shouldn't make any sense.

    But somehow, it does.

    Summary

    Kaeya thinks aloud to himself, clearly ignoring her again. "Hmm, why would you want his card? Perhaps..."

    Eula furrows her brow, crossing her arms as she stands. "Don't get any ideas - I don't want his card. This is purely for vengeance." Her posture and words clearly remind Kaeya of the one she wants to duel. He tries his best not to laugh aloud at their resemblance.

    "Right." Kaeya gives her a smug grin, resting his chin perfectly between interlocked hands. "You want to be able to look at him whenever you want, hmm?"

    Eula uncrosses her arms and balls them into fists at her sides, stamping one foot down hard until the floor shakes. Kaeya feels the bluenette's icy wrath redirecting itself toward him.

    "Ugh, as if!" she declares. "After I defeat him, I'm coming after you! Mark my words—"

    =====

    Alternatively: While on a quest to repay kindness with vengeance, the Spindrift Knight seeks out a certain redhead for a duel of Genius Invokation TCG.

    It ends up being far more than she bargained for.

    Summary

    When the Grand Master finally returns to Mondstadt with news that should end a chapter of Diluc's life, it doesn't— at least not at first. Instead, Diluc finds himself navigating the space between justice, grief, and a long-suppressed hope of making his father proud.

    Summary

    A formal dance. An unwelcome partner. And the thin line between etiquette and violation.

    Some breaches are permitted by society. Others are not.

    Unfortunately, Dottore knows how to use the rules to his favor. Which, in this case, is to anger a certain redhead.

    Alternatively: On the dancefloor, propriety becomes a weapon.

    Summary

    A program on a search.

    An ISO who doesn't want to be found.

    A silent understanding that grows between them— two individuals who used to belong to worlds that don’t exist anymore.

    Where do they truly belong now, in a world that seems to change as they live on?

    Summary

    It’s the evening of Eula’s birthday, and the Spindrift Knight intends to spend it alone— with her pride, her wine, her birthday letters, and absolutely no expectations. After all, birthdays aren’t cause for celebration, not when most of Mondstadt still whispers her family name like a curse.

    But even a night meant for solitude can be interrupted by an unexpected gesture wrapped in dandelion wine.

    Summary

    "Every hero needs a guy in the chair, right?" Kaeya grins. "And for you, that just so happens to be me." He gestures proudly toward himself, pushing off of the desk and twirling around in his computer chair.

    Diluc rolls his eyes. "Whatever. You just don't want to get your hands dirty."

    "I don't see it way, Luc. I think you mind less than I do, that's all," Kaeya states matter-of-factly. "Besides, you enjoy getting up close and personal, while I prefer the strategy and coordination. So I collect the intel you need, and you carry out the plan. It's a beautiful arrangement this way if you think about it, playing to our strengths and all." He sees a notification come through on one of the monitors, and goes back to typing.

    "Tch," the redhead huffs, although he knows his brother is right. He leans against the doorway, crossing his arms. "So, what's the job?"

    Alternatively: Diluc and Kaeya are partners on an investigation team, working together to fight crime syndicates, collect intel, and the like. But while Diluc is on a mission, Kaeya discovers a piece of crucial information at the worst time— right after communication with his brother goes dark.

    Summary

    "Well, in the spirit of Windblume, I’ve found an interesting way for us to spend the evening." Looking at Kaeya and Eula, she continues with an endearing smile. "Since our partners are more on the— ahem, reserved side, we can get to know one another better this way. Especially since it does involve alcohol…"

    Jean chooses this moment to chime in. "Lisa, Eula, Kaeya, why did you bring us all here?"

    "Well," Kaeya answers, "that's simple. All of you need to socialize more, and it’s Windblume. What better time, honestly?"

    Albedo, so quietly under his breath to the point where his words very nearly go unnoticed: "This is going to go horribly wrong, isn’t it?"

    Alternatively: In the spirit of Windblume, Lisa, Eula, and Kaeya decide to drag Jean, Diluc, and Albedo to the Angel's Share for drinks and an innocent game of truth or dare—a triple date, in other words. Chaos ensues, naturally; with this group, why wouldn't it?

    Summary

    In the span of a night, the game had changed for Sam Flynn. He knew his life would never be the same.

    Reintegrated back into reality, as a changed man and true heir of Encom, Sam had immediately opted to take the company back without really thinking of the consequences. Including the lack of experience with running a corporation in general, much less one whose upper management had derailed from its original mission, almost burning his father's legacy into the ground.

    He became the one chosen to train his father’s other legacy, his “gift to the world,” to harness her latent potential so it could be unleashed at the right time.

    Little did he realize the implications all of that would hold.


    Alternatively: When Sam has no time to truly grieve, he realizes what else he can lose.
