Summary
Knowledge is power. In Sumeru, it’s also a weapon.
Your research should have been a simple academic pursuit—an attempt to uncover why entire studies on cognition have been erased from history. But the deeper you dig, the more dangerous the truth becomes. A hidden facility buried beneath the desert. A cover-up the Akademiya refuses to acknowledge. And two men who refuse to let you investigate it alone.

Summary
Life in Sumeru is pretty easy to understand. Either you're from the rainforest, with access to better education, opportunities, and standard of living. Or you're from the desert, in which case you're a second-class citizen who doesn't get all that.
Shahla Gurabani belongs to the latter group. An Eremite mercenary and devout worshipper of King Deshret, Shahla's people have had everything taken from them, even their god. In return, everything Shahla has are the things she has clawed back from the world. Through story and song she records her peoples' history, and through mercenary work she carves out a living for herself. And through bloody work in the desert sands, she protects what little is left of the physical evidence of her legacy.
What will she do, then, when the Akademiya's predations grow to an entirely new scale?
---
Well, I suppose making a Genshin OC was inevitable. Everyone meet Shahla, an Eremite mercenary with *several* chips on her shoulder. This is going to be a bit of an analysis of/meditation on Sumeru's desert culture and apartheid society prior to Nahida's overhaul, and will meander a bit between different scenes and setpieces as I write them. Expect canon characters to show up!

Summary
Nilou closes her eyes, finally finding the melody inside to follow. She heard that name before, too. Kaveh. A bright Akademiya graduate. Light of Kshahrewar.
She's never seen him before or even caught enough chit chat to even begin to imagine how he looks like — but somehow its enough for her to find a kindred spirit buried under the dust of heavy titles Akademiya so dearly loves.
What Kaveh may create with pens and pencils, Nilou does with her footsteps.

Summary
It was several hundred years ago, something no one could have predicted. And yet, it was surprisingly simple; two of Teyvat's archons had fallen in love.
It's a shame history hates lovers.

Basically a romance-turned-tragedy between a couple gods who happen to be lesbos. I hope it’s enjoyable! This is my first full fic (that will be expanded upon overtime) on AO3 so any comments are appreciated! :D -

Summary
"I’ll let the gnosis run for a while longer” Scaramouche had full intention to disappear without a trace. As tempting as the sight of the young harbinger who, no doubt, was tasked with retrieving not only the gnosis but himself was, he couldn’t risk it. Not now. Not after everything. So, why is it that he finds himself in Inazuma still? Outplayed, the gnosis in foreign hands. Retrieval of what is his must be earned…what is her price?
In which a mysterious, and infuriatingly alluring, Priya, sabotages Scaramouche's plans to evade capture with the Gnosis by extending an offer he can't refuse.

Summary
Каве нахмурился. Казалось, от мыслей у него разболелась голова.
— Ты планируешь что-то получить взамен, и я очень сомневаюсь, что речь идет об удовольствии от моего присутствия, — предположил он. — Я не знаю... Мора?
Аль-Хайтам не сдержался и фыркнул.
— Много же я заработаю на банкроте.
— Это самый правдоподобный ответ, — возразил Каве. — Да, сейчас я банкрот. Но у меня все еще есть потенциальные клиенты, так что со временем я заработаю достаточно, чтобы хотя бы заплатить за аренду. Другой вариант — ты просто хочешь надо мной поиздеваться, однако соотношение издержек и выгод слишком неравное.(Каве идет к аль-Хайтаму домой, а наутро его терзают сомнения.)

Summary
The black scales on her hands were few, yet hardly any remedy could fully stop Eleazar. They were usually hidden under layers of bandages, out of sight and out of mind. However, at night it's tempting to unwrap the binds and stare. To stare at the disease, the curse no doctor or magician could help you with.
Or: Dunyarzad’s having body dysmorphia, but Dehya’s there to offer her support. (and tongue)

Summary
"I guess we'll just have to wait until we are dug up from here."
That was the conclusion Pantalone reached thirty minutes ago, when they realized, quite late, that the doors to his house did not open due to being blocked by tons of snow and ice. A snowstorm, is it. A common occurrence.
"At least if this is our tomb, I will die with you," Dottore chuckles. It is a compliment. Pantalone should treasure it, knows he should treasure it, he sits there while time pours slowly like molasses, thinking, "I should express that I treasure it", while being unable to do so.
***
a snowstorm brings back the memories of being trapped in seeming vastness and abandoned to freeze. and hunger. hunger always follows them.
