    Summary

    “So why are you in Oakhurst?” 

    Someone tried to murder me by burying me alive, but they messed it up so now I’m lost and have no idea where I am. Or who I am. 

    “Oh, I was traveling.” Scott answered mildly. “Got a bit bored of my home, so I left. Wanted to see what was out there, you know how it is.” He made some vague gestures. “Got a bit lost though, so I ended up here. What did you call it again?” 

    “Oakhurst.” 

    “Oakhurst…” Hm, sounded vaguely familiar.

    or : in which Scott wakes up from his sleeping curse but his memory very much does not, leaving a very confused vampire with some serious memory issues who has no idea he’s a vampire in the first place. Surely this can only go well!

    Summary

    Scott Goldsmith has spent centuries becoming untouchable.
    Then Martyn opens Jimmy’s grave, steals the artifacts Scott buried there, and brings them close enough to Oakhurst’s beacon to wake something old, hungry, and watching.
    The memories come without warning. Fear. Laughter. Blood. Death. Pearl. Cleo. Grian. Martyn. Jimmy.
    The town sees Scott before the castle, before the blood, before the monster they think they know.
    Avid sees him too.

    That turns out to be a problem.

    Summary

    “It was all my fault. I’m so sorry, Dad. I'm so sorry,” he sobs. “You were so much better than I will ever be. I don’t know how to do this without you here. I don’t want to.”

    Diluc falls to his side, curling his knees up to his chest. “You could have lived, and here I am instead, wasting everything you gave me. I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t know what you’d want me to do.” His breath hitches, and another wave of tears rolls down his face. “I’m all alone.”

    --

    Suffocating under the weight of grief and feeling disconnected and lost, Diluc's passive suicidal ideation starts to develop into something more concrete. He's struggling with his father's death, what happened to him during his time away, and the damage he's done to his relationship with Kaeya. Forgiving himself seems impossible, and it's getting harder and harder for him to get out of bed every morning.

    Meanwhile, Kaeya just wants his brother back, Adelinde wants Diluc to stop running headfirst into danger, and Jean wants her childhood friend to smile again, and they - along with some new friends Diluc makes along the way - are determined to show Diluc how loved he truly is.

    Summary

    5 Times Venti, The Bard, Accidentally Did A God Thing + 1 Time He Couldn't Gaslight Everyone Into Believing It Didn't Happen

    In case of accidental performance of miracles, there are a number of ways in which undercover gods may escape questioning by suspicious mortals. If you were to confront Venti, the Bard, for example, he might have this to say:
    1) You saw what? No, you didn't.
    2) It's an anemo vision thing!
    3) I'm... I'm so scared and traumatized... We were attacked...
    4) It wasn't me?! It was Jean (insert scapegoat) !
    5) Everything in combination

    An unknown beast is at large in Mondstadt. Confronted with an understaffed Knights of Favonius, Venti offers his assistance to a frazzled Jean, who is concerned for the safety of Mondstadt’s young, adventurous, and free-spirited allogenes.

    Alternatively: Venti embarks on a grand babysitting adventure with three-quarters of Mondstadt’s young playable characters. Complete and posts on Tuesdays and Fridays.
