Summary
Aether rips his sword out, pushing a wailing Paimon back and readying for a counterattack. It had worked on the fellflower Albedo, right? Sort of? At least it had forced the creature to reveal itself. But instead—
The imposter crumples to the ground. Soundless. Eyes wide and unseeing.
A faintly glowing crimson drips damningly down Aether’s blade.
Aether is no stranger to being used, whether as an Honorary Knight, experiment, pawn, or guardian. He's less familiar with getting his hands this dirty in the process, but that doesn't mean he needs the dozens of others reaching out, desperate to clean them... right?
The Aether-centric, headcanoned-timeline remix of Paralogism.

Summary
Once upon a time, it is said, dragons were creatures of magnificence and victory and prosperity, creatures whose arrival could have a kingdom celebrating for weeks on end. But after a thousand years of disasters and legends shrouded in mist, dragons have become little more than specters of death, and those unlucky enough to find themselves living in one's shadow would do almost anything to step out into the sun. Even if it meant sacrificing one of their own.
It is fate that Aether and Lumine, twins marked by calamity, are the first to be captured when a dragon descends upon their village and demands a bride. It is chance that Aether is chosen over Lumine when the sacrifice finally arrives. Resigned to a short world of pain before violent death, Aether’s only comfort is that Lumine might still have a chance to safely live on without him.
Then he actually meets the dragon, with its warm scales and amber eyes. And as the seasons turn and change, he finds himself daring to hope for just a little more after all…

Summary
“…Okay,” Paimon agrees quietly. “Instead… let me do the last thing I can to fix this. With the Heavenly Principles gone, I finally have the power. And you deserve a kinder ending.”
“Paimon—?”
“I’ll send you somewhere better than this world you were supposed to wander. Somewhere warm… where you might be able to fill the hollow your sister left behind.”
--
White-hot pain lances though Aether's head, taking nearly all his vision with it, as if his body is punishing him for continuing to refuse Childe’s control. The moment his agony-fuzzed thoughts coalesce once more, Aether again curses his disgustingly weak body. A kinder ending… Paimon had been a liar to the very end, it seems.
In another timeline, the world ends, and Aether is tossed into a Teyvat that's peaceful and friendly and wrong, wrong, wrong. If only someone would explain why he keeps getting called a "sub."

Summary
Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.
Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.
It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.

Summary
He had not died, so he should never have been able to become a youkai. And like this, neither the human world nor the youkai realm will have a place for him.
At this point, becoming something less than human might as well just be part of an average Saturday evening for Takashi. If only Tanuma hadn't been dragged in along with him.

Summary
Transmigrating into the stallion novel he hates most is bad enough, but why did it have to be into the body of one of the protagonist's wives? Shen Yuan spends exactly two months dealing with harem intrigues, sullen maids and his husband utterly ignoring him before he decides to go on an extended holiday. Very extended. Surely no one will care if he just forgets about being married and becomes a cultivator, right?
(In which Luo Binghe goes on a quest to bring his errant husband home and Shen Yuan takes him on an adventure instead.)

Summary
Shen Yuan works in the kitchens of Qing Jing Peak. It's not the best, but it's also not the worst. He just wants to lay low and get the hell out when Luo Binghe shows up. Shen Qingqiu has other ideas.

Summary
“Nothing but condescending remarks and denial— I am denied wine, denied information, denied—”
Aether freezes, his shoulders nearly up around his ears. Unwinds them slowly, carefully. Lets out a sigh. “I am older than they know, Xiao,” he says, quietly.

Omegas on the Isle of the Lost are ripped to pieces, so Carlos will spend the rest of his life pretending to be a beta.
Or: 5 times Carlos De Vil lied about being an omega (and the 1 time he didn't have to)

Summary
Deep in the Fortress of Meropide, beneath the indifferent gaze of both Celestia and the Sovereign, Wriothesley begins to fall apart.
Escaping the Domain had not been easy. The scars, both mental and physical, continue to fester. When instinct fights to be heard, and the heart aches to be understood, there is only so much that Fate can do to help.
-CURRENTLY BEING REWORKED-
sorry for the wait ;-;Series
