  1. Summary

    “You’re not a weapon. You’re a living being, with thoughts and feelings. And therefore, dreams and wishes. The gem embedded in your glove is proof enough.”

    If Visions are crystallized wishes, solidified ambitions, what does it mean for an Illuminated Beast to have one? Or more precisely, what does it mean for Xiao, who constantly insists he's above such things like desires.

    When his Vision starts to shine unprompted, Xiao is lucky to have Venti, who's resolute about getting to the bottom of this mystery. In the most extreme way possible.

    "Xiao, I'm confiscating your Vision!"

    Summary

    Oh, Xiao had become such an audacious moron. Balancing next to him sat a jug filled with the finest wine. A yaksha has no desire… should not… but…
    He sighed and took a sip. It didn’t take more than a minute for the wind to stir. Expected. You could say… planned.

    “You know,” a sweet voice chuckled from the edge of the rooftop he sat on, “you could have called me.”

    Summary

    Venti turned to him.

    "May I say something?" he asked.

    "Are you often inclined to ask such a thing?"

    Venti laughed. He bumped his wings against Xiao's.

    "Your eyes are the color of sweetflowers." He winked. "And your lips taste just as sweet."

    For VenXiao Winter Exchange 2025.

    Summary

    When Pure Vanilla throws open the balcony doors and holds his staff aloft, the first thing he sees are the tree’s branches devoid of his feathered friends. It’s an unwelcome sight, a clear departure from their usual routine. Had something happened? Has someone drawn them away?

    A flutter of movement draws his eyes upwards towards the roof; instantly, relief floods through Pure Vanilla’s jam. The flock is mercifully still here, perched above his head on a nearby rooftop. They are, however, strangely silent and still, huddled closely together while glancing between Pure Vanilla and the tree. Pure Vanilla follows their nervous gaze, peering into the branches as he holds his staff high –

    Only to spy a long, lithe form curled in the shadows.

    Summary

    Three brush strokes to the right. Two to the left. A hand smoothing over his forehead, sweeping his bangs aside.

    Shadow Milk knows the pattern well. His hair is always brushed the same way, in movements that seem almost robotic in how perfectly they’ve mastered the repetition. The bristles of the brush always skim over his closed eyes with such care, nimbly avoiding anywhere they might prick or poke. It always ends with a few final touches, tucking any stray wisps back into place before the brush is set back down on the dresser before him.

    Pure Vanilla’s hands smooth through Shadow Milk’s hair, coming to rest gently on his shoulders.

    “There. Ready for the day?”

    Shadow Milk does not answer.

    Shadow Milk has not answered in a long, long time.

    Summary

    Excerpt 1: “The Revolution succeeded; it crumbled afterwards only because those whose lives got revolutionized did not follow up on the revolutionary success,” said the Bride, her words setting their closed hearts aflame. “This time, will you help us help you?”

    Excerpt 2: “Just helping the boys return to their old selves is not enough. Their schooling and future prospects will still be hindered whenever their being children of terrorists comes to light. Only by changing your world –- your society -- into one where criminals’ relatives are no longer assigned collective guilt can you truly save your brothers. This is the kind of revolution you must bring about: your Survival Strategy.”
