Summary
Deep breath in, deep breath out. Those wretched horns materialized like a mantle on his brow; the nearby waters surged against in response to his awakened power.
Stelle and Phainon were, hopefully, already long gone. It was just Dan Heng and the black-cloaked swordmaster—the Flame Reaver.
The Flame Reaver seemed confused by his sudden change in appearance, and its shadowy clones wavered, flickering in-and-out, in-and-out. Its clawed hands held its sword tighter as it struggled to force out the words. “Who… are you? Must… reset…”
“I am Dan Heng, Nameless of the Astral Express,” he said simply.
The Flame Reaver flickered again, perhaps considering, then growled and charged.
…
Or, what happened when Dan Heng stayed behind to fight the Flame Reaver as Imbibitor Lunae?

Summary
Layla had tried, gently, to smother the suspicion rising from the young Ratnik. But how could she? Flins had told him nothing. Not what he was. Not what she was. Not the truth of centuries stitched into their bones.
And so the man had filled the silence with the worst possible answer.
She was beginning to think Kyryll had grown foolish.
No.
He had grown human.
“Kyryll,” she said quietly, lips thinning. “I came to visit you. Not to shatter his heart.”
“I am aware, Svetlana—”
“Layla,” she corrected firmly.
A small pause.
“Layla,” he amended, inclining his head. -

You've stolen the last fragments of my heart. It's only fair I rip yours from your chest.

This fic takes place between the Luna I and Luna II archon quests. Most of the plot was thought out with only information given during Luna I in mind, so if some earth-shattering new info comes up in the new update, please give me some slack.Series

i met the pain that belonged only to me by faegorthica

Summary
Flins’ voice sounds like an outright prayer. Those listless eyes of his are fixated only on him, as if he need not beg services of a deity. It is a quiet yet palpable desperation unlike anything seen before. Flins — typically indifferent — at his wit’s end.
Illuga, ever so cruel, refuses him anyway.
“I don’t care. Because…” he pauses. Something different appears in their shared air, so thick and malleable, all-consuming, present enough for a blade to cut through. There’s a hesitant beat, two, several, until Illuga loses count. A mutual acknowledgement between them that, when he vocalizes what he desires to convey, he will truly be past the point of no return.
For the sake of defending his own pride, he does it anyway. Spills out the words plaguing him all this time.
“Because, if I’m the one who dies, it means I won’t have to watch it happen anymore.”
After Dottore’s defeat and the Nightmare Orioles’ mission, Illuga pays Flins a visit.

Summary
When a citizen of Mondstadt is found to be involved in a series of brutal kidnappings across Fontaine, the Knights of Favonius are given an ultimatum from none other than the Hydro Archon herself: either clean up their mess and catch the guilty culprit, or have their Grand Master— Acting or non— face trial. The accusation? Concealing person from arrest. The penalty? Life sentence.
The main issue, Jean thinks as her stomach sinks at the contents of Focalors’ missive, is that the suspected criminal has ties with the Order. Which means that some of her men could be accomplices. That they can’t be trusted to be sent to Fontaine.
And that leaves Jean with only one person to plead for help.
Or; upon Jean’s request, Diluc travels to Fontaine to help take care of a case which so happens to be under the investigation of someone who goes by the name of the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide.
