What he didn’t expect was for Cyno to be dripping wet, with a muddy child at his side.”

    AKA - Cyno adopts Collei and builds a family with Tighnari

    “So do I.” Collei says. “You learn to move past it.”

    Summary

    “You deserve good things happening to you, Belial.” His tone was soft yet held a firm undercurrent, enough that Belial couldn’t bring himself to argue. “You do,” Kazuha repeated, leaning into Belial’s space and pressing a gentle kiss to the unblemished, fair skin of his shoulder.
    Did he? Belial asked himself, the question lingering in his mind like an uninvited guest. And the voice that resided deep within his chest—quiet but insistent, speaking louder than Kazuha ever could—answered for him. No. He didn’t. Not after everything he had done.

    OR: Belial remains in Sumeru while Kazuha drifts in and out. Distance makes him wonder—does he truly deserve Kazuha’s gifts, his attention? But when they're together, all that matters is giving back, giving back, giving back. Until the balance breaks. Until everything falls apart.

    Summary

    Collei's eyes shot open, her body drenched in a cold sweat from another one of her nightmares. A constant reminder of her trauma.

     

    She hates how her nightgown sticks to her body— touching her.

     

    There’s too many different feeling of textures on her body.

     

    She wants them to be gone.

     

    Without pausing to think, she leapt out of her bed and began to run, her sickly legs straining with the effort as if that’ll help her run away from her trauma.

     

    She paid no heed to the darkness of the night or the exhaustion in her muscles. Her only thought was to put as much distance between herself and her nightmares as possible, to escape from the horrors that haunted her even in her dreams.

    In the dead of night, Collei woke up with a start, a cold sweat clinging to her skin. Her heart raced, and fear gripped her. The remnants of a bad dream still lingering in her mind. She spent zero time running away— all the way to Sumeru City.

    There she encounters her other two fathers and she spends time at their abode.

    Summary

    Collei and Freminet have been friends ever since Collei visited Fontaine with Cyno and Tighnari for the first time. It’s been an entire month since the aquabuses shut down and the trio haven’t been able to move back to Sumeru in a long time. Finally, the city announces that extra boats from Bayda Harbor will be taking citizens to Sumeru City. Now is their chance to leave, but…

    Collei will need to say goodbye to her friend. And with that, they decide to go stargazing for their final day until then.

    But as they learn more about each other on this day, letting all of their secrets out in the breeze, Collei learns something about Freminet that she wished she never knew.

     

    TLDR; Collei finds out that Freminet is a member of the Fatui. She doesn’t know what to think or do. Their friendship is on the rocks...

    Summary

    She does remember. The torture of it all, the needles piercing her skin. The wailing gone ignored. Straps and metal beds, the scent of anesthesia injected to her vein; and a rough, gravelly voice invading her ears.

    She remembers, yes.

    But most of all she remembers him.

    Or: Collei recalls important flashbacks, of beaked masks and a certain Doctor.

    Summary

    "Hair can hold memories wherever you go," he said, as he carefully tended to her locks. "If you don’t take care of your hair, it’s just like not taking care of your memories."

    Tighnari's words echoed in Collei's mind as she processed the significance of his words. through the tangled strands.

    "Hair... can hold memories?" she repeated softly, the realization slowly sinking in. Tighnari's statement carried a deep meaning, and Collei began to understand the importance of taking care of her hair, as a way of caring for the memories that came with it.

    Summary

    Cyno points past them. “Sumeru City is approximately that direction. Port Ormos lies further south. And…” He squints toward the cliffs breaking away from the Chasm. “Gandharva Ville.”
    Collei takes a step closer to the edge, trying to see past the branches. Not too close, in case her legs give out on her. Cyno clearly has the same idea, because he moves beside her, standing far enough for comfort and close enough to catch her if she should fall.
    “Gandharva Ville?”
    “Home to a friend of mine,” he explains. “The most intelligent person I’ve ever met, and I grew up at the Akademiya. Perhaps you’ll meet him someday.”

    Following the Black Fire Incident, Collei and Cyno make their way towards Sumeru. They may not be so different after all.
