    Summary

    “I love you.”

    For a moment, they stand there, Xiao burning with embarrassment, Barbatos smiling blankly at him. Barbatos is taller by a few hairs, and the realization only adds to Xiao’s utter humiliation.

    And to his surprise, Barbatos slings an arm around Xiao’s shoulders and laughs lightly, bringing their foreheads together. “Aw, I love you too!”

    Summary

    “Would you come home with me, Kyryll?”

    Varka's voice is soft in the quiet murmurs of the lighthouse. Their limbs are tangled in a mess of intertwined legs and blankets, and Varka looks serene underneath the moon's embrace.

    “Home?” Flins whispers, as though the word is foreign in his mouth.

    Varka reaches out to roll a strand of dark hair between his fingers, “Yes, to Mondstadt.”

    Flins hums, closing his eyes.

    “Very well then,” Flins nods, “Bring me home, Grand Master.”

    Flins follows Varka back home to Mondstadt and relearns how to live as an ordinary human.

    Summary

    Kintsugi - the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold

    “The maple leaves in Ritou have turned red,” Heizou says. "Every year, they turn red, and I think of you.” He wipes at a drying tear on Kazuha's cheek.

    A fresh bead of water catches on Kazuha's bottom lashes.

    “When you leave here, the maple leaves will fall, and I will think of you everyday until they grow back, until they grow red again, and by then… by then I hope, instead of seeing red maple leaves on the trees, I’ll see them on you. On your beautiful haori, in your red hair and red eyes. In your name, when I call it.”

    Or

    After the loss of his family, his friend, and his nation, shattered pieces of who Kazuha used to be pull him in directions he no longer knows how to navigate. A life of wandering now feels like an existence with no grounding, and he's spinning. He's a fugitive, an exile, unwanted by a nation that he, too, no longer believes in.

    A detective meant to imprison him is the one who gives Kazuha freedom again.
