    Summary

    “Can you have a child with Uncle Flins?”

    For a little while, sound reached him as if through layers of wool, and the only thing he could feel was akin to a blade piercing through his chest. Something in him folded inward, the same instinctive reflex he felt when he put out his light that one time, long ago. He did not move. Did not think. Did not speak.

    Varka laughed again, too fast and too loud, a tone that went against all the natural laws of sound.

    “That’s impossible,” Varka fixed the hat on Klee’s head, looking just as sad as she did. “Sorry, little spark.”

    Varka invites Flins to the Windblume Festival without telling him that the festival is the most notorious courting ground in Mondstadt. Somehow, everyone already knows what they are to each other—except them.

    Summary

    “Aw, I’ll manage, thanks.” Varka takes the bandages Flins offers, but instead of getting to work cleaning the blood that has seeped through his wounds, he just looks at Flins almost hesitantly.

    “Yes?” Flins says. “Are you sure nothing else is wrong?”

    “No, no, I’m good. I just…” Varka clears his throat and looks away. Flins frowns. “If you want… if you need to… I don’t mind you taking a bite of me, you know.”

    Flins stares at him for a minute, gears working furiously in his brain. Eventually he gives up after Varka has turned somewhat red and says, “What?”

    ***

    Varka knows Flins isn't human, but what exactly Flins is was never specified, so Varka assumes Flins is a vampire.

    Summary

    “Would you come home with me, Kyryll?”

    Varka's voice is soft in the quiet murmurs of the lighthouse. Their limbs are tangled in a mess of intertwined legs and blankets, and Varka looks serene underneath the moon's embrace.

    “Home?” Flins whispers, as though the word is foreign in his mouth.

    Varka reaches out to roll a strand of dark hair between his fingers, “Yes, to Mondstadt.”

    Flins hums, closing his eyes.

    “Very well then,” Flins nods, “Bring me home, Grand Master.”

    Flins follows Varka back home to Mondstadt and relearns how to live as an ordinary human.

    Summary

    “Um, Mister Flins isn’t moving. Or… responding. At all.” A tentative pause. “Is that normal?”

    Shit.

    Aether whirled around, and, at the sight of Flins crumpled on the ground, unmoving, his stomach dropped like a stone.
