    Summary

    “Ah, but before I go… you… were kind of right, ehe!” Venti wriggled in place, removing his hat to rummage inside it. “Forcing you to listen to my new song isn’t the only reason why I’m here~”
    Before Xiao could feel any kind of way about this admission, Venti reached out to him with his hand closed into a fist, prompting him to offer his own palm up, confused. He was not expecting Venti to drop a small, black pebble on his waiting hand.
    “This is for you!”
    Bringing it up to his face, Xiao tried to see what was so special about the pebble, but it looked no different from the rocks he found on his patrol route. Just a normal black pebble, albeit rather polished.
    “What is this…?”
    “A gift!” at Xiao’s blank look, Venti added, sheepish, “It reminded me of you! See, it’s like your hair!”

    Or: Xiao, and the journey from a place to a home.

    Summary

    Enji Todoroki couldn’t move. Doesn’t dare to. His eyes were transfixed on the villain, Legacy.
    The villain had an eye patch over his left eye while the right eye, a dark grey glared at him. His left side was a patchwork of burned skin and healthy skin stapled together like an arts and crafts project while the right was bandaged like a mummy with black skin peeking through. A long black tattered coat draped over him dramatically.
    But the most attention drawing feature of the villain Legacy is the red and white hair, split perfectly in half as the black wig that was previuosly hiding his identity hung off the villain’s fingers.
    Legacy allowed it to fall to the ground.
    “You really should call me by my respectable name. Call me Shoto.” Legacy grinned in a deranged and unhinged way.


    Or the Todoroki children are in a time loop and taking advantage of it to work through their various issues. And Endeavor greatly suffers each time.

    Summary

    Diluc reread the letter once. Twice. He took a shaky inhale, burning the letter in what was second nature to him now.

    Could Venti…? No, no, the bard may sport the braids of the Anemo Archon and have many unique skills up his sleeves, but there’s no way….

    Diluc needed to get Jean involved. Now.


    Or, Diluc and Jean know something is off about Venti. Diluc suspects, Jean doubts, and in the end, the Anemo Archon has a much-needed conversation with both of them.

    Summary

    Soulmarks are said to be the imprints left on you by people who are meant to be with you.

    Riddle Rosehearts would like to disagree - such bonds meant distraction.

    (Nobody would like their marks to mean ties to a tyrant.)

    Kalim Al-Asim would disagree on the principle that no one is safe with him.

    (He could never put the people who his marks mean in danger, for his family would threaten them to get to him.)

    -------------

    This is what happens when two boys agree to help each other - fake a bond and fool everyone.

    Their soulmates are just concerned over their marks which showed a dead soulmate before apparently being alive.

    Summary

    'Zhongli had completely forgotten about these unsent letters, until Hu Tao comes up with her ridiculous plan. Now he has to cope with the reactions of everyone in Liyue Harbor and beyond, and not least of all, those of the intended recipient. What is Venti to him, in this new era?'

    —What if instead of Venti coming to Liyue to confront Zhongli regarding the letters, it was Barbatos who was there for the annual (centennial) public archon meeting?
