    Summary

    Sethos makes him… himself.

    Sethos lets him be tired, happy, sad, and the most afraid he’s been in his life.

    And as long as he has that steady, solid thud-thud under his ear, he’ll be fine.

    Dottore thought of him as a creation, an advanced machine with a foul mouth and an even fouler personality, something that could be molded into his ugly, crooked image if he tinkered enough.

    Sethos sees the wreckage left behind and sees a person.

    He yawns again, and sleepily, Sethos cards his hands through his hair, humming a lullaby the Wanderer recognizes as his own.

    It’s from Tatarasuna, the first lullaby anyone ever sang to him.

    Sethos’s voice makes it beautiful, even through the seam of his pretty lips.

    or the wanderer has a flashback and comes to his bee to take a much needed nap

    Summary

    “Alright, Sethos,” Baba says with a small smile. “I shall teach you to play the lyre.”

    Sethos is four, and Baba plays a melody so soulful, honest and sweet that it makes its home in Sethos’s chest.

    With the lyre in his hands and a song on his lips, Baba is everything Sethos wants to be. 

    His white hair catches in the oil lamps, plays in the wrinkles of his forehead and around his mouth, and the song he plays is called an Ode to the Scarlet King.

    Sethos thinks his Baba, just like the music from the lyre, is beautiful.

    or, sethos has a complicated relationship with the lyre

    Summary

    Collei spent the majority of her life in fear. Before Mondstadt—before the first time someone showed her kindness—fear was an unstoppable force and she was no immovable object.

    But that was then and this is now, and Collei doesn’t want to live in fear anymore.

    She takes her first step forward by inviting Cyno over for dinner.

    (Or: the one where Collei strives to overcome her fear of Cyno, and they become a family out of it.)

    Summary

    As his head hit the pillow stuffed with two in one case, an odd preference of Cyno’s that makes it feel rather solid than cushiony, Tighnari’s mind raced through the events of yesterweek.

    ——

    A short fic (prelude?) touching on Tighnari’s feelings of helplessness.
