    Summary

    "What is your name?" the dark-haired girl asked, leaning toward the girl with beige hair who was buried deep within the pages of a book.

     

    It was her first day at this school, and the teacher had assigned her a seat right beside this particular stranger. The air between them, however, felt somewhat rigid—bristling with an unspoken tension.

     

    The girl with the beige hair offered no immediate answer. She merely knitted her brows in a flicker of annoyance at the interruption before finally turning to look at the newcomer.

     

    Their gazes locked. And for the first time, Columbina Hyposelenia realized that such a pure and breathtaking color truly existed in the world.

     

    "Do not disturb me," the girl snapped, already retreating back into the safety of her book.

     

    Columbina offered a soft, yielding nod. "Very well..." she whispered, slipping back into a quiet of her own.

     

    Perhaps the beige-haired girl felt a sudden pang of guilt, or perhaps she realized her lack of courtesy was becoming a burden. Her voice softened slightly, though her expression remained characteristically prickly.

     

    "Sandrone."

     

    "My name is Sandrone."

    Summary

    In a different timeline, Makomo became the water Hashira, this won't make Giyuu or Sabito return to life, but at least she can honor their memories. In another timeline Sabito spared the demon girl after witnessing the bravery of her older brother, he sees a little of his younger self in him, at least he hopes the boy can protect his sister, unlike him, who couldn't save Giyuu during the final selection. Giyuu doesn't know what is happening; one moment he's slicing Lower Five's neck, another moment he faces two slayers who hold an uncanny resemblance to his late friends.

    Summary

    It's over.

    The beasts have won.

    Shadow Milk SHOULD be overjoyed, and he IS. However, victory is much less satisfying then he thought, though maybe that has something to with a certain cookie locked away in a tower, untouched by the chaos of the world. 'Protected.' For some reason despite now having full control of the soul jam Shadow Milk is still pulled to play games and spend time with a certain truthful sage. Maybe if he keeps pressing he'll find out how to get rid of the nasty feeling in his chest.

    Meanwhile Eternal Sugar Cookie deals with her nightmare, a surge of passion that threatens to dismantle the joy she's built for everyone. The joy that she's worked hard to give Hollyberry Cookie.

    Summary

    Inspired by TheSparkleDash and TheNarrator_ME!!

    Dark Cacao's Cookie body fails him before his ascension. Mystic Flour retrieves her soul jam. And, still, the world does not end as she would like it to. It seems as though she can't use the power of resolution while its owner is still alive. No matter. She would lead Dark Cacao into a calm, easy death. She was patient. He was weak.

    Caramel Arrow and Crunchy Chip are able to regroup after watching the twin dragons of legend fly into the skies of Beast-Yeast. Clearly, something has gone terribly wrong, and there is only one option. They must ascend the mountain themselves and bring their king back safely, before their kingdom deteriorates any further.

    Meanwhile, Golden Cheese Cookie has lost her fight with Burning Spice, but he realizes it's much more fun having her around, and he wants to wring all possible entertainment from her. Smoked Cheese has to find her again and help her escape before Burning Spice finds him.

    And...well...Pure Vanilla's plan seems to be taking much longer than he originally thought it would.

    Updates about every other week! :D

    Summary

    It’s been four days since he became an Avenger, four days since Thanos snapped, four days since he and Nebula were left stranded in space, four days since he lost Tony, four days since Earth’s Mightiest Heroes lost.

    He wouldn’t consider himself mighty, not then, not now.

    Or…

    Peter doesn't get blipped, but Tony does. Where does he go from there?

    Summary

    After the flood retreated and her people averted their crisis, Furina fled to the refuge of a remote village to hide from the spotlights of the city and the reminders of her pain. She told no one of it, not even Neuvillette. It was also on that day that the rains in Fontaine began and never ceased.

    Eventually, a fateful encounter with Lumine ended up leading Furina back to the opera house and back to its Chief Justice, who was keen to not lose her a second time.

    Summary

    "I can't even tell, who you want to know."

    ✦✧✦✧

    When a young artist on the rise was discovered sobbing by herself, how could she not feel worry and despair? What if he spreads the word, or even worse, pull out his phone and start recording?

    Instead, he sits down and listens to her. Acting as if he never knew who she was, and she's just a stranger he happens to find crying.

    Yet, he's not acting. He genuinely has no clue who she is. He just doesn't have the heart to simply leave after watching someone cry.

    Summary

    Once Celestia starts to awaken, they punish Venti for avoiding the role he swore to wear, cursing him as an example.

    He has to: assume he is Barbatos, and participate in ruling the city; always have his wings out, unable to hide them anymore; since he mingled with humans so much, now he will be forced choose between pain, or seeking proximity;

    It feels like an embarrassment and betrayal of everything Venti stood for. He wanted Mondstadt to be free of gods, and feared being treated differently once the people he knew found his identity. What would they think once they saw the pathetic state of the wings of their Archon?

    And besides, love was a feeling that should be given freely.
    That love proves to be what sets things right. Mondstadt is still free, and the nature of Venti’s bonds flourishes beyond what he ever dreamed of.
