    Summary

    Rather than throwing Scaramouche into jail after his defeat, Cyno has the idea to bind him to someone who won’t lead him astray again. The thing about the spell is that they can’t choose who Scaramouche is bound to.

    The result is… not favorable. But maybe it could be.

    (This work is a rewrite of one of my older fics “the sinner and the saint”. Said fic has been orphaned.)

    Summary

    Mondstadt’s Archon was so weak he couldn’t stop a mortal from stealing his Gnosis—so what was keeping the Abyss Order from taking out their revenge directly?

    Venti receives a package from an unknown sender. He probably shouldn’t have opened it.

    (An Abyss Order hellbent on vengeance targets their enemies when they’re fragile.)

    Summary

    The light in Jean’s eyes was bothersome—usually the Knights of Favonious Headquarters was shaded at this time of day by the statue, by…

    …by Barbatos’ wings.

     

    Or, Celestia allows Barbatos to live after the Calamity, at the cost of his very identity. Venti’s wings are amputated, and Celestia won’t let anyone forget it.

    Summary

    " Aizawa narrowed his eyes, assessing the changes in the villain. He glanced to his left, where the machines had been rolled out of the way by Hizashi and Yagi, so that a few were still in sight but they no longer surrounded Dabi's bed.

    "Oh. Thank you," he mumbled as the other heroes returned. Hizashi offered a smile. "Sure," he said, glancing at Aizawa and communicating his confusion via gaze alone. Aizawa shrugged a shoulder in answer, looking back down at the villain. "Let's .. continue with the questions," he said. Dabi looked uneasy, but only nodded. "

    Aizawa had been prepared to have a short, unhelpful interrogation with an S-rank villain before handing him off to the Commission, but instead he has a long, insightful interview with Touya and decides he's the perfect candidate for Nezu's up-and-coming villain rehab program.

    Summary

    When playful banter between Yosuke and Naoto takes a deeper turn, it unravels hidden desires and fears they've both kept buried. As their seemingly innocuous interactions begin to shift in unexpected ways, they find themselves entangled in a delicate dance between the façade they present to the world and the truths lurking beneath.
