Summary
Of course, Lavernius Tucker is a Blue. A particularly funny thing about Blues (and Reds, to their credit) is that they have almost notoriously bad luck when it comes to keeping good things, no matter how small. Which is why, when Tucker is sitting with his elbows resting on his knees and his helmet is at his side and he’s enjoying the peace and quiet of Chorus at night, that quiet is broken by an all-too familiar voice.
“Uh, Captain Tucker?”
The voice comes from behind him, and Tucker briefly envisions launching himself off the side of the cliff if only to get away from Palomo as quickly as humanly possible.
He doesn’t, obviously. That would be stupid.
But he considers it.

Summary
The two dissolve into giggles as though they’re children again, eventually fading off into a comfortable silence. This is nice, Kaeya thinks, this moment of peace. Stormterror- er, no, Dvalin has been returned to his normal state thanks to the traveler and that bard, the storms that would rip into the city laid to rest. The Abyss Order has become far more quiet save for the occasional mage sent in to snoop, although Diluc is always quick to put a stop to it. There’s no murders nor robbers, Mondstadt finally falling back into what it should be. It’s good. Boring, sure, but good nonetheless. A tiny smile worms its way onto his fa-
“They came in asking about the Fatui, actually.”
The smile is gone in a heartbeat and his worry returns tenfold, this time accompanied by suspicion. Fantastic. Brilliant. Absolutely superb.

It goes like this:
The wings crusted in gold and azure are the most valuable of all, for those are a claim from those who stand at your side. Gifts of companionship, they say, so that others may look upon you and know that you are loved.
AKA Childe earns his wings of companionship when Aether lets him travel with the group.

Summary
When Mydei wakes up at entry hour, it’s to thirty texts and ten missed calls, all from Phainon.
“Mydei,” Phainon’s voice says, somehow managing to slur the consonants. “Mydei you… you wouldn’t—woah. Woah. Everything is—is—” A raucous round of laughter drowns out Phainon’s voice. “Mydei,” Phainon says again. “You wouldn’t be… belieeeve—” He stretches the word out like it’s some kind of competition. “Cipher just—Cipher just told me the craziest—it’s so—it’s really, um. It’s crazy. I’m—I’m—” The message stops.
Mydei pulls his teleslate from his ear to stare at it. This isn’t the first time Cipher has dragged Phainon to an ouzeri to get him blackout drunk.
Phainon disappears after a night of drinking with Cipher. Mydei, in search of their usual morning spar, goes looking for him only to find a strange dromas instead.

Summary
“Really, Sir Varka, I call you out here and you have not even the decency to see my plight?”
“No! No, no, I see it just fine! It’s just, well…” Varka shrugs helplessly. “Well.”
“Well what? Have you at least the decency to see how unfair it is?”
Nicole feels no part angel in this moment - right now she is simply a friend to mortals who will live a fraction of her lifespan, and she revels in it. For some of the increasingly frequent moments between a confession and a shared drink she can almost brush her fingers against the understanding that she has been unknowingly chasing ever since Ivanovna died - she brushes her fingers against the shape of love, of a bias born for friends and those close to the heart.
But it is a night of merry-making. There is no place for such a revelation as dangerous as this, not when it concerns Nicole’s death sentence.
Varka clears his throat. “Er. Unfair? I mean, I wouldn’t say it’s unfair, exactly.”
This man. And the audacity.
He’s going to be the death of her.
OR: Nicole, and what it means to fall in love.
(And Teyvat, and what it means for an angel to break her vow.)

Summary
“Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”
[YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]

or, a fic to answer the questions: What if you fell in love for the first time in your 40s, and it just so happened to be with your alien best bud who has five legs, no face, and is already married? And then what if you accidentally proposed marriage to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you are also notoriously inexperienced and kinda stupid at close interpersonal relationships? What then?

Summary
March had his palm read once, years back, by a hack psychic in a gaudy tent at some old timey carnival Holly had begged to go to. She'd taken one look at his craggy hands – two fingers bandaged at the time - and told him, in no uncertain terms, that if he didn't slow down, boy, he was gonna hurt himself. He tipped her very badly.
Suffice to say, he did not often have the appearance of a man in control of his own destiny.
