Summary
!ON HIATUS!
Aimlessly running from their pasts, the lives of Collei and Fischl have intersected at the University of Mondstadt. They've managed to grant each other peace and comfort for their first year and a half together, but things have begun to change.
New dreams arise from their hearts, and old nightmares crawl out from the crevices of their minds. If they want to move forward, they'll have to look back and accept what they see.
After all, what could be more terrifying than letting someone love you?
"There's no way that she could possibly feel the same way, not when I'm...this."
"...are you sure?"

Summary
“You won’t get rid of me that easily.”
“I could throw you out the window.”
“You’d doom everyone to suffocating in the vacuum of space, just for me? I’m so honoured.” Kafka wrapped her free hand around Himeko’s thigh, squeezing lightly above a lipstick mark she left there.
She’s oddly affectionate. This was another recent change, one that came alongside her staying the night. It made complicated swirls unfurl inside Himeko’s chest.
Or: They've spent so many nights together, Himeko no longer knows what their relationship is supposed to mean.

Summary
"We're not so different, you and I."
But they were different. Columbina was serene where Sandrone was anxious. Graceful where Sandrone was awkward. She baked perfect pastries at dawn and said profound things about sunsets and somehow made Sandrone's antisocial cat into a devoted admirer.
And yet there was something in the way Columbina moved through the world—like she was slightly apart from it, watching rather than participating—that Sandrone recognized in herself.
or;
Columbina is an angel, and Sandrone is fated to die in a year.

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic comments on mortality in a way that I find deeply grounding, yet comforting and inspiring. Definitely going to reread this when I’m having existential days in the future.

Summary
Jahoda claims she doesn't visit for the food. Ineffa thinks that's statistically improbable.
Or, Jahoda makes Ineffa inefficient, and she welcomes it with open arms.
Because saying "I love you" is just a very complicated way of saying "you make my probability matrices go haywire, and I wouldn't have it any other way".

Can Monika really change what she knows to be hard fact, or was she right all along that the literature club holds no happiness for anyone? After all, a poem is never actually finished, it just stops moving.

Summary
It's a child—no less than six or seven years old. Her stark grey hair sticks out in comparison to Kafka's purple. Hand in Kafka's, she quietly scurries along with the woman until they reach the counter.
Just what was Kafka up to?
Her questions are soon answered when Kafka, now in front of the Barista, clears her throat—as though unnerved at the absence of Himeko's response.
“Yeesh, tough crowd today, huh?” Kafka hums, leaning in closer towards Himeko. “Don't worry, I like when they play hard to get. It's a fun challenge.”
Himeko furrows her brows, a frown beginning to form. “Have you resorted to kidnapping children in your attempts to woo me?”
-OR-
Kafka's incessant charm and embarrassing pickup lines don't seem to be working on Himeko. Luckily, Kafka has another trick up her sleeve—bringing her daughter, Stelle, to Himeko's café.

Summary
Arlecchino's curse is a complete mystery to the living. Its history died with its predecessors. As she's gotten older, she's held the curse at bay, understanding as much as she can about how it works.
She never anticipated waking up as a beast one day.
Meanwhile, Furina still struggles to walk alone at night despite her progress in healing all the hurt she faced in 500 years.
An opportunity is presented to Arlecchino on a silver platter. One can hardly blame someone for taking such an eager gift.
