    Summary

    Trinity blurts out, “I wasn’t even sure if we were friends for a long time.”

    Mel’s face turns to her fully. As if pulled by something magnetic, Trinity tears her stare away from its spot staring at the door jamb and meets Mel’s hazel eyes. Sees the flecks of gold in them, droplets of sunlight swimming around her blown pupils.

    Mel is flushed, pink smatterings over her cheekbones and the point of her nose. Her brows are furrowed like she can’t quite fathom what Trinity has told her. Before Trinity can reel it in, to play it off as a joke, Mel offers a simple, “Of course we are.”

    Summary

    “You really find me that unbearable?” Mavuika prods, unable to help the grin that tugs insistently at her lips. “Am I that much of a thorn in your side?”

    “The worst,” Xilonen stresses, an ear flicking incessantly. “You're the actual worst.”

    Her tail swishes between the inches where their hands almost meet, though; curls itself almost possessively around Mavuika’s wrist.

    And despite it all—despite her inhuman strength, and inhuman feats, and inhuman lifetime—Mavuika is human at her core. Her gaze wanders down to where Xilonen’s tail rests, where their hands rests, so close. To where her own heart could rest, easily.

    or, Natlan needs saving, and Mavuika and Xilonen convene during the moments between.

    Summary

    “Lumine,” To the traveler’s surprise, the knight’s voice took on a genuinely kind sentimentality as he spoke. “You have to realize certain things for yourself, sooner than later. I’ve seen the way you look at her,”

    With care and adoration? With the apropos amount of tenderness that she deserves? With such unsurmountable kindness that Furina has earned?

    Kaeya laughs for the third time now. “See, it’s written all over your face, Lumine. You’re in love with her,”

    -

    Furina wishes to visit Windrise. Lumine takes her there.

    Summary

    "This is so stupid. I am so stupid."

    She can't meet Natasha's eyes, and she can't explain it very well either; only that she feels like if she meets Natasha's knowing gaze, she'll find herself succumbing to a kindness that she absolutely does not deserve. And if Serval manages to get a glimpse of that—well, maybe all that progress she's put into moving on will truly disappear into a gust of snowy winter air.

    or, Serval wonders if there's some sort of miracle medicine in the Underworld. (there actually is, her name is Natasha.)

    Summary

    Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.

    or

    the one where the halo imprints on beatrice like a duckling and is dead-set on making it ava’s problem
