    Detective Conan/Magic Kaito fics. The series is incomplete since I intend to write more in this fandom—but probably not for at least another year. Someday I will write my massive postcanon AU. Someday.

    Summary

    The Plane drones with a familiar silence. It has been silent for five-hundred years. The Traveler breaks this, too. “I don’t think you are being dishonest,” the Traveler tilts his head. “I think you are being different.”

    Change: the enemy of eternity. Ei has slain many enemies, yet she can’t seem to kill ambition. Why?

    Conceptually, ‘change’ and ‘eternity’ couldn’t be more incompatible. A static world has no tolerance for variables.

    But even the perpetual Heavenly Principles are shadowed by the inevitability of erosion. Nothing is immune to change when change itself is eternally present.

    (Or: Ei, Aether, and the eroding definition of ‘eternity.’)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    And Yae was right when she said Ei was glad to see her again, right when she said eternity alone was too cruel a fate. The Traveler was right because he brought Inazuma’s ambition to the Plane, and Ei’s own desire brightened the sky with pastel pink. If the Plane reflects her inner world and now it looks happy... then ambition brings happiness, and Ei wants to be happy, and those hundreds of years in the Plane, centuries of loneliness... she had wanted that to change.

    Summary

    As the God of Wisdom, Nahida is ever-curious, and ten times as observant. It’s only natural for her to notice the odd, crooked way some gaps in Irminsul are filled in.

    Lumine is still, at times, caught off-guard by how perceptive Nahida can be.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    When Lumine enters the Sanctuary of Surasthana, she does so alone. This place has taken on a more homely quality since the youngest of the Seven earned her freedom. Stacks of books and scrolls spilling out over the new rugs on the floor; vines curling lovingly over the sides of the bridge, potted padisarahs in bloom; and Nahida, at the center of it all.

    Nahida greets Lumine with a warm smile, and at her urging, Lumine plants herself wearily atop one of the cushions lining the space around a short table at the center of the room. Nahida hurries around, arranging cutlery and a pot of floral tea before her. Lumine would tell her it isn’t necessary, but Nahida always seems overly pleased at the prospect of playing host; fluttering around like a butterfly that’s eager to test its new wings.

    Summary

    Even I sometimes reminisce the carefree and happy days of the past. The warmth of the Knights, my friends, my father...
    Everything was perfect.
    But one can never return to the past. I cannot keep on daydreaming for the sake of the future.
    Or should I say, someone has to wake up to face the darkness before dawn so others can dream.
    Logically you know there are some things you need to accept, yet emotionally it’s so much harder. I’m so torn...
    Hope the business goes well. It’s a battlefield out there in the liquor business.

     

    Now, Margaret knew she wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. But if her hunch was right, and that first line was referring to what she thought it was referring to, there was only one person who could’ve written this note.

    Diluc Ragnvindr.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Margaret’s eyes kept getting drawn to one particular line. Someone has to wake up to face the darkness before dawn so others can dream.

    […] Did this mean he didn’t have any dreams? Or was it that all his dreams were crushed on that fateful day? Either way, the way this was worded sounded like he was giving up even the possibility of dreaming for the sake of others. Perhaps it was some sense of self-righteousness, but this didn’t sit right in Margaret’s stomach. Mondstadt was the City of Freedom. That meant nobody should give up their freedom to dream, or anything, even if they did so willingly. The knowledge that the city’s hidden savior resigned himself to protect the city from the shadows, sacrificing… whatever he sacrificed to make that possible, made her apologize to him in her heart, even if it was meaningless.

    Summary

    “So it’s time travel?”

    “No, not quite,” Albedo gently chews on his lower lip in contemplation on how to simplify the concept. “The Ley Lines hold memories of everything that has ever happened in the world. It appears that this Ley Line disorder has converged the past memories with our current memories.”

    Kaeya cocks his head to the side, “So we’re currently in the past?”

    “I suppose you could put it like that, but it’s more like our past and our present have collided.”

    “So, time travel?”

    Albedo sighs, “Sure, let’s call it that.”


    A growing string of disappearing people, a catastrophic Ley Line disorder, a chaotic space and a convoluted Fatui plot throws much of Mondstadt into a not-so-distant past, surrounded by uncomfortably familiar faces.

    Unfortunately for Kaeya, this means forgoing a much-needed vacation to figure out what is actually going on, which is quite difficult when a certain Inspector keeps getting in the way.

    And all the while grappling with the presence of a boy who looks and sounds like Diluc, but is someone far different than the man that Diluc has become.

    Gods, he could really go for a drink right about now.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Nymph didn’t mention specifics,” Albedo says as he continues to focus on the board, “but she believes that some of the senior Knights are trying to limit contact with us.”

    Kaeya hums in contemplation—in part trying to analyse what Albedo said and in part trying to figure out what his next move should be. “Did she mention anything about the Inspector?”

    If this really is the past, then the Inspector will be a nightmare to deal with. It took months for him and Jean to prove Eroch’s treachery, and longer still to convince Varka to take their accusations seriously. Varka had trusted Eroch for decades. They'd grown up together. Kaeya hadn't exactly envied Jean when she had to tell the Grand Master.

    Summary

    Nahida thought her growth would be slow. She expected it to be a gradual sort of thing, taking place over centuries. But in the months and years after her escape, Nahida shoots up like a plant moved from shade to light.

    Nahida photosynthesizes, grows from a sprout to a sapling, destroys a building, initiates an accidental mind-meld, and begins to come to terms with the five hundred years that were taken from her, roughly in that order.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    There is an uncharacteristic bitterness twining up her bones the more they deign to grow. She used to think, curled alone in her prison: If only I were bigger. If only I had more time before they found me.

    She tries not to think about it. She does not like to think of it. But her body no longer gives her the option to ignore it.
