Drifting Far by FictionalCricket

Summary

It's a peaceful day in Liyue, and then a mysterious power kidnaps their (retired) Archon.
Navigating a new cosmos is an interesting challenge for Zhongli, but these galaxies have gods of their own, and getting home may prove far more difficult than anticipated. At least he's finding good company along the way.

Or, tossing Zhongli onto the Xianzhou Luofu for fun and profit.

Summary

In the aftermath of his reforging, Blade does more introspection than he’d prefer. Fortunately for him, he’s not the only one.
Unfortunately for both of them, there are some preconceptions in the way.

Or, Blade and Dan Heng actually communicate. Eventually. After most of 8,000 words.

Slushies, Blackmail Collection, and Also Everyone is Losing Their Minds (If You Ask Silver Wolf) by FictionalCricket

Summary

Silver Wolf takes a sip of her slushie, watching cherry flavored liquid rise and fall within the straw. Then a far more reluctant bite of the meh burger she got at the slushie place, but a deal is a deal, to be honored or risk losing access to her games etc etc. She glances at the apple she got for basically the same reason, but that’s for later. Then she goes back to skimming the feed from Star Rail FEST on her phone, because it’s kinda being productive. (It’s the greatest spot for stuff to tease Stelle about later she’s seen in her life.)
More importantly, it’s distracting enough that she won’t look up by accident. She took enough psychic damage last time she did that, thanks.

Or, "Silver Wolf, aroace queen trapped on all angles by people in gay situationships", as my friend put it. Silver Wolf has not figured this out yet.

Summary

“…what are you asking me to do?” Dan Heng asks carefully.

Blade shifts slightly. “Some fragments of the Shard Sword were too small for me to remove on my own.”

Oh.

…I see.

After the battle, Blade asks Dan Heng for help removing fragments of the Shard Sword.

Taylir Par Ni Gar Casa (Save For Me Your Nights) by FictionalCricket

Summary

The Mando'ade have a long tradition of verse, and the more well known war songs are far from the only subject Mandalorian poets have tackled.
Enclosed herein is Taylir Par Ni Gar Casa, one of the oldest known love poems in Mando'a, translated to Galactic Basic (translator's notes included).

Or, I had an idea that I could write a poem old enough that Mandalorian Wars/KOTOR era characters could reference it, and things escalated from there.

Summary

For the record, Ajax was not at all opposed to being sent on missions as another Harbinger's backup. As long as he was given things to fight and the rest of the tasks were not excruciatingly boring to get through, Tartaglia would comply without issues.
The actual mission, the actual tasks, the actual experience of being the backup was not the issue here.
The issue was-
...He was the only Harbinger being tasked with things like these. The only Harbinger being designated as backup. The only Harbinger being treated like a class below the rest.
(Because Tartaglia was rash and reckless and could not be trusted to keep himself safe.
Tartaglia was to be looked after like an unpredictable rabid animal that only behaved under certain conditions.
Tartaglia was off.)
---
Or, Childe struggles to understand why the Tsaritsa insists on treating him differently from the other Harbingers, and tries to pretend like his affiliations aren't irrevocably shifting towards the mysterious god he meets in Liyue.

Summary

Lang Qianqiu wants to hear him apologise. He wants to hear Fang Xin say that he’s sorry, that he hadn’t thought it through, that it was just a slip of judgement.
(Some part of Lang Qianqiu curls up in fear, because he thinks that if Fang Xin said this, he would let him go.
This is his teacher, after all.)
Lang Qianqiu and his teacher, through the years.
