  3. Summary

    Any innocence I might’ve had’s been stained black—midnight black—by all the things I’ve seen.

    “Fischl’s Investigations,” I said. I took a long drag of my violet licorice, holding it between my index and middle finger. “If you need a problem solved, you’ve come to the right place.”

  4. Summary

    Hu Tao was merely the latest such adoptee. She came from a long line of funeral directors[...] and had become an orphan and Vision user at age eleven. Not long after, Rex Lapis—who had been helping care for her—made the critical error of seeking Cloud Retainer’s advice on dealing with children. By the end of that night, Cloud Retainer had kidnapped Hu Tao from Liyue Harbour and was teaching her the basics of Adeptal arts.

    Canon divergence AU. The various fics are self contained except where otherwise noted.

    Summary

    The young boy carefully studied him, gaze somehow both playful yet intense enough to pierce through his armor. “Your arms are like Father”, the magician remarked with a gleeful tone that caught the Captain off guard. Whatever leftover caution the child still had had instantly faded, a sense of familiarity overcoming him as his body language relaxed involuntarily.

    It was…strange.

    Capitano resisted the urge to pull down the sleeves of his shirt to cover the exposed skin above his gloves, the sudden awareness that even such a small bit of his body being visible stood out like crimson blood against snow was hitting him like a dagger. He chose to ignore the boy's comment. “What’s your name, little Snezhevich?”

    Summary

    “Nefer.” The name, warm, unhurried, sweet on her tongue. The tongue lifts to the ridge behind the teeth, Ne, a small surrender, the top teeth set themselves against the lip and press, and the air goes out warm over the place where they meet, Fer. Two beats. An opening and a held bite.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    She folds down close, driving deeper, her mouth at Nefer's ear. "You told me to fuck the thinking out of you," she says, devastating and gentle at once, another long stroke. "I don't think I will. I'd rather you stay. All of you. Right here with me." And Nefer, who climbed this hill to be emptied out into nothing, is instead kept wholly present, whining her yeses into Lauma's throat, a bright broken thread of curses and please and ragged breath.

    Summary

    What was it today? The tenth of May?

    "H-happy Mother's Day, Boss Nef!” Jahoda squeaks as shoves the box and bouquet towards Nefer's hand in a panic.

    "... Excuse me?"

    Or: Jahoda shows appreciation to her found family that results in Lauma and Nefer having a much needed "talk".

    Summary

    “Change can be difficult,” Nefer offers simply, but not dismissively.

    Lauma huffs, smiling in a way that doesn’t quite reach her eyes. “I honestly find it more complicated than difficult.”

    She doesn’t regret it, of course. The Frostmoon Scions deserved to know the truth, and she can see that, despite the challenges, her people have proven themselves resilient, and malleable. Adaptable. Many have left, but many others have stayed too, and they’re building something new and something better now because of that difficult truth. She wouldn’t change anything, if she were given the chance to do things over.

    But it’s—complicated. More so, lately.

    Summary

    "There are some things you just can’t put a price on.”

    “Such as?”

    “Friendship, for example.”

    Nefer breathes out. “Is that what this is, then?”

    “I think that I would like it to be,” Lauma says after a long and thoughtful silence. “Would you?”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I don't know how to stay,” Nefer confesses in the end. She tries to think of something else to say, or how she could ever possibly make Lauma understand what she really means[...] but nothing else comes out. Just that.

    [...]

    To her surprise, Lauma says, “I know.”
