    Summary

    Pain, hunger, dizziness, loneliness.

    Those were his constant companions, staying with him day and night.

    Pain from the constant injuries, hunger from the lack of food, dizziness from the lack of sleep and over-use of his ability and loneliness from the solitary cell. The only words spoken to him were either orders, or rageful fits over his incompetence and failures.

    He was less and less sure how long he'd be able to keep going like this.

    Or: Sigma's time with the traffickers

    Summary

    Sigma doesn’t dislike heights. In fact, he’d say he quite likes them – the adrenaline is enjoyable, and the previous rides they’ve been on have all been thrilling experiences. In general, roller coasters aren’t a bad pastime.

    The keywords there are 'in general'. Sigma has his limits, and he would rather not be plummeting down the tallest goddamned roller coaster in Canada at 148 kilometres per hour.

    Summary

    Meet Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
    He has ninety-nine problems, out of which at least ninety-eight could be blamed on either Nikolai Gogol or Dazai Osamu.

    Or Dazai and Fyodor are stuck sharing a dorm room, and that somehow leads to a full-blown prank war.

    Summary

    Atsushi watched the older man reach for the empty tray with tired eyes. Unbeknownst to both child and man, the clouds began to clear away, uncovering the full moon. The now bright moonlight bathed the orphanage, its reflected light finding its way through a small window. Atsushi turned behind and looked up, heterochromatic eyes gazing upon the full moon.

     

    If he hadn’t remembered anything — shredding and mauling a man, eating and swallowing his innards like it was his last meal — then Atsushi would soon find out what he’d done early in the morning.

    Atsushi was — no, is — a man-eating tiger.

    Summary

    Illuminated by the glow of gold-scorched parchment, the harsh lines of Xiao’s face smoothen into confusion, then resignation. He takes a steadying breath. “You aren’t leaving.”

    “I’m bound to you until I find you love,” Venti corrects.

    “Yeah, so you aren’t leaving.”

    “Wrong! I have a hot streak of success.” Venti claps his hands, the contract scrolling back up into non-existence. “Now that you understand, shall we start over? My name’s Venti, and I’m your assigned Cupid. Your wingman, if you will.”

    “... Xiao.”

    Or: Xiao is, maybe, a little in love with his Cupid. Venti does not catch on.

    Summary

    People keep coming up to Kaveh to congratulate him. Kaveh doesn’t really know why, and he’s a little too scared to ask at this point, so he heads back home, content if not a little bemused.

    He is, unfortunately, reminded of it the very next day, when the door slams open and Al-Haitham stalks in. “Mind telling me why everyone was congratulating me today?” he demands. “About your pregnancy?"

     

    Or: Al-Haitham is, without a doubt, the most annoying person Kaveh knows. Maybe the world’s second-most annoying person can help Kaveh figure him out.

    Summary

    The meaning of Ororon's unearned existence has always been called into question. Even after becoming a savior of Natlan, he knows he's only really half a person. What could that possibly be good for now?

    When his trusting nature results in his own kidnapping, what little self Ororon has is suddenly struggling for its own preservation.

    He fears for the life of Kinich, whose rescue attempts Ororon surely does not deserve. What transpires will push the boundaries of Ororon's own soul.

    Summary

    “What do you do with the flowers?”

    Al-Haitham paused. “What do you mean?”

    “Like, what do you do with the flowers you cough up? Do you keep them or…?”

    He furrowed his eyebrows. “What—why would I keep them? I obviously throw them away. Why are you asking?”

    “I was just wondering—I mean if you’re not using them—like, if I could possibly…have them?”

    Al-Haitham stared at him incredulously. “You want my unrequited love flowers?”

    “Yes?” Kaveh flushed red. “Since…since you’re not using them.”

    Since you’re not using them—

    “What the hell would I be using them for? What the hell are you using them for?”

    Al-Haitham has Hanahaki disease and coughs up mourning flowers. Kaveh asks if he can use them for his ascension materials.

    Summary

    To soar unbidden through the skies is the wish of any free spirit. Mortals, bound to the land, have found ways to traverse the oceans and burrow into the bowels of the earth. Yet flight still eludes them. Fingers point at the clouds and at patterns of migrating birds in the air and whisper that the life of a bird must be one of absolute freedom.

    Would they say the same of me if they knew?

    Character study of Xiao, the last Yaksha, written in first-person.

    Summary

    What if Venti couldn't erase the debts of his Karmic burden?
    What if it festered within him, corrupting the void once filled by his Gnosis?

    Xiao wakes up, his gaze meeting peony-hued eyes - what happened? Venti had been so confident he could purify his Karma. Yet now, he's a distorted version of himself, and Xiao struggles to keep pace with his mood swings. He has to help him, to save him. It's his fault. Zhongli tasked him with keeping Venti occupied until a solution is found, so that's precisely what Xiao does - he focuses Venti's attention on himself.

    Summary

    “Reset the terminal.” Azar ignored the fallen man as he waved off his lackey to act. Finally, he turned back to the fallen man on the ground. “May Irminsul be cleansed of your abhorrent presence.”

    “I won’t…” Kaveh tried to say, but speaking was taking far more strength than he had at the moment. His blinks were getting longer, and Azar’s image was getting fuzzy around the edges. It wasn't fair—he still had so much he needed to do.

    So where’s the rest?

    Alhaitham stared at the blank ending page, seeing nothing about a continuation like the past three books had. He flipped through the book again, just in case somehow in his binge reading he missed something that told him the next book would be delayed, the author was on a hiatus, or that something was going to happen at all, but there was nothing.

    Really? That was it? What an unsatisfying ending!

    Alhaitham gets up to do something about this frustration, but during his late night jog, he ends up finding himself in the mysterious nation of Teyvat right outside Sumeru City. Now, he might actually have the power to do something and help his favorite character, Kaveh, get the happy ending he deserves.
