    Summary

    There was definitely something to be said about the way the Weinlesefest was celebrated nowadays.

    And by that, Kaeya simply meant it would never bring him the same joy as it had that very first time, when he’d spent it together with his adoptive father and brother.

    Certainly not for lack of trying. It was just that being the estranged brother of Mondstadt’s winery tycoon during a wine festival complicated things.

    He’d gotten black-out drunk the previous year, so Jean had made sure their friends kept a close eye on him during these trying times. He appreciated the thought, but really, he just wanted to down a bottle or two and call it a day.

    Of course then Albedo decides to show up with a sober-up potion, and Kaeya realizes he won't get the alcohol-induced sleep-coma he so craves after all.

    ---------

    Or: Kaeya being depressed, Albedo being a supportive boyfriend, and Diluc realizing he should be a little nicer to his brother sometimes

    Summary

    Albedo blinks back tears he cannot shed. He still doesn't understand. "Did I fail?”

    "Oh, my dear Albedo…” Master softly murmurs. “That is not what I meant. You didn't fail because my ultimate assignment is not one you can fail.”

    Her hands, the very same hands that once shaped him from a formless clump of coagulated chalk, cradle his face.

    "Live, my little chalk prince," Master pleads. "That's all I ever wanted from you.”

    Albedo finally looks up at an impossibly sad face.

     "Live."

    The corruption finally comes for Albedo. But instead of bringing about the homunculus' end, Albedo's friends and family join him on a desperate mission that involves the slumbering dragon Durin, Fatui Harbingers, and a revelation his heart may not be ready to accept.

    [A fic about the lengths Albedo will go to protect Mondstadt and the lengths everyone else will go to protect him.]

    Summary

    Cyno was all gunmetal bones and sharp wolf teeth. The Akademya made him a hero, a warrior, something to be feared—something to be respected.

    Murder and mercy rolled into one boy, they said. He was destined to be a one-man army. The reputation that stemmed from that alone was a long and lonely shadow. It never cast over Tighnari.

    Even when his hands were scarred from murder, when his skin was tainted with blood, Tighnari didn't see Cyno as a monster. He trusted him—perhaps more than anyone in the world.

    Cyno could never hurt Tighnari. Not truly. He always knew that. They always knew that. It was why he could stare at Cyno's weapon without fear.

    Even if it was pointed straight at him.
