    Summary

    Hu Tao was thirteen when her grandfather died without her even being able to say goodbye.

    Hu Tao was thirteen when she tried to follow him into the spirit realm, desperate to see him even just one last time.

    Hu Tao is eighteen now, and it is raining in Liyue Harbor.

    There is a saying in Liyue, that the rain washes away inhibitions and brings true thoughts to the surface, like bubbles rising in water.

    Perhaps this is true.

    Summary

    “So,” Venti began, drawing out the sound. “What do you want to ask of me?”

    Zhongli licked her lips. She had a thought, one that was dangerous and could jeopardize their lengthy relationship, but she couldn’t help but want.

    She wanted to confess to Venti, to undo the layers she had buried her heart under and culminate everything she had worked hard for since the Cataclysm (no, her ascension as Geo Archon) and finally allow her to be herself.

    But the rational part of her brain screamed at her that it was a terrible idea. What if Venti was appalled by her feelings? Or thought that their friendship had been built upon lies because Zhongli simply wanted to have the Anemo Archon by her side?

    (Protect and cherish, the dragon inside her whispered. Do not allow her to succumb to the machinations of the Heavens.)

    “A kiss.”

    Summary

    "I know that you are afraid of what will happen next, but you can trust me when I say that I will not allow you to go back to her and that I will find a place for you to stay if that is what you want." Nagisa nodded to that. Slowly, tears formed in his eyes. He was glad to have a teacher like Karasuma.

    Someday Nagisa will get the parent he deserves.

    Summary

    “Okay, you’re going to have to take a few steps back,” Venti says and immediately, the woman shifts her right leg backwards, foot in the air, and the bard quickly amends, “Oh! Not literally, haha. I just meant—” He pauses. What did he mean? “Dumb question, but who is Venti?”

    The look that is exchanged between the two strangers says more than words could. Venti’s gut drops, his stomach twisting. A cold sweat forms on the back of his neck.

    “Lord Barbatos,” the woman begins again, more hesitantly, “You showed up here late last night. You were speaking nonsense and had a terrible wound on your head. It has since healed. However…” She trails off.

    The man is the one to continue on her behalf, “Where did you go after menacing my tavern?”

    in which venti suffers from a temporary bout of amnesia, stays with diluc, and is confronted with the one thing he's avoided for centuries. or, in other words, zhongli and venti have a misunderstanding and finally talk about it. all of it.

    Summary

    “Venti, someone saw you.”

    There’s a pause. “Someone saw me,” Venti repeats.

    “Nimrod,” Diluc nods. “Got drunk in Angel’s Share afterwards. Charles told me, which means that everyone in the bar must know by now, and probably half the city.” Then he mutters something about Kaeya, which Venti would address if he felt anything like normal. It’ll be fine, probably.

    The idea of Nimrod knowing, of half of the city knowing –

    Anemo rises up between Venti’s limbs before he can even put the idea into words. He doesn’t think about it, barely processing what he’s doing, before he blinks out in a flurry of teal.

    (Venti intervenes with an Abyssal threat and gets caught. Mondstadt doesn't see him again for weeks.)
