    Summary

    “Oh, right – Alhaitham.” Kaveh claps a hand to his forehead. “Cyno, if you see him at the Akademiya tomorrow, don’t mention this to him, would you? I haven’t told him yet.”

    “Told him?” Cyno asks slowly, a wary glint in his eye. “What exactly haven’t you told him?”

    “That I’m getting married,” Kaveh grimaces. “I wanted to tell him myself – I suppose I do want him at the wedding after all, you know – but I didn’t get a chance yet. You know what it’s like, trying to have a conversation with him.”

     

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
    Kaveh is a single man. That's about it, really.

     

    or: the one in which Kaveh gets married, but not to whom you think.

    Summary

    In which Venti, Zhongli, and Nahida signed a joke contract centuries ago that might be less of a joke now…

    In which Nahida was forcibly imprisoned, didn’t know she was halting the dreams of the Sumeru people, and broke out to find Venti—in the hope that their contract is still valid.

    In which no one but Diluc and Jean knew about the whole Archon thing, and Kaeya may have a problem with this. Rosaria too, but she's quieter about it.

    Summary

    He had watched Morax dream before. He watched the weight in his brow soften, the lines of war fade from his mouth. There had been mornings where neither of them spoke for hours—just shared the silence, the kind that made the world feel still.

    Wouldn’t he have remembered that?

    Barbatos closed his eyes.

    Maybe fate was unwinding in different directions.

    (Or—Venti and Zhongli find themselves back during the time of the Archon War and everyone else is confused about their pining asses.)

    Summary

    The fact that they put the inciting incident for Zhongli's motivation in Keqing's background story that you have to read instead of in the archon quest drives me nuts. So I drew it, along with an epilogue of sorts for "A New Star Approaches".
