    Summary

    Hello. I watched your performance, and it did not disappoint. I have heard your voice many times over my life, and it remains as radiant as ever. I know we have an unsavory history, but I was simply doing my job. Surely you understand?

    “I was simply doing my job,” Furina echoes aloud, scoffing. “For the Fatui!” —She continues on.

    By “surely you understand,” I am referring to your masquerade. My Lady, the Lady of Love, seems to hold much respect for you. While I cannot fathom why, I realize you must have done something quite extraordinary to have earned the respect of a God. While you are justified in your fear of me, do understand that it was nothing more than diplomacy. I kept your secret; that should be reason enough to trust me.
    — — —
    or, furina is having trouble using her vision, and the knave keeps making attempts to befriend her. things couldn’t possibly be worse, but maybe an unlikely friendship is what they both need.

    Summary

    "If that first church had been a little spark in the fabric of Clorinde’s faith, then the Opera Epiclese is a bonfire roaring its prayers to the open sky. Lady Furina’s most ardent followers congregate in the lobby, clutching newspapers and playbills as their hymn-books, giving everything they have to the spectacle of the court and stage. And their Archon soaks up the spotlight, growing bigger and brighter with every shouted word of praise. Clorinde does not shout, but she feels it rattle through her, as world-breaking as a kiss, and she thinks of the audience as the waves of an ocean buying Lady Furina towards the sun.

    And then Clorinde is twenty, and Clorinde is undefeated, and Clorinde is face-to-face with her Archon for the first time in her life."

    In which Clorinde has a crisis of faith.

    Something stirs in Arlecchino's stomach, in her ribs, all over from under her skin. It's subtle at first, easy to dismiss as fatigue, but it clings to her with a disquieting, growing persistence.

    It doesn’t matter—whatever this is, now is not the time.

    Furina needs her.

    Or

    Arlecchino experiences dom drop for the first time. Furina is her anchor.

    Summary

    "I apologize, love." His thumb traces across her cheekbone. She leans into the caress, seeking more of him. "I didn't mean to wake you."

    The words take time to penetrate the haze of her awakening mind. Her consciousness is still finding its footing, too busy cataloguing the rumble of his voice, the way his presence seems to settle something restless in her chest that she didn’t even know needed quieting. When understanding eventually arrives, laughter follows—born of fondness, rather than mockery.

    How is he so terrible at this?

    "You liar," she huffs.

    Or

    Arlecchino clumsily awakens Furina early in the morning. Furina calls him out.
