    Summary

    David didn't know. Non of them knew.

    They pulled the black from the water, and learned how many children's corpses as littered it for them to get it.

    How long must you blame your own sins on the evil of your enemies?

    How many children's blood on your hands must there before you're deemed a monster?

    Or maybe, it only matter who's blood it is.

    Summary

    Eden has always been Simon's home, until they left him for dead on that station. Sure, they had been harsh sometimes but what was the alternative?

    The Consolidation of Iron? The people who wanted to rip out Eden's tree and take their kids?

    At least Eden was peaceful, at least Eden didn't lie.

    Choking, gagging on his own blood, he realized how much he wished that was true.
    ---
    Eden had long used children for war, they were easy to train, and easier to indoctrinate when they were born and raised in a nursery. Eden was more than fine with the knowledge they were sending kids to die, after all, they all became soil?

    But what COI had laws to stop trials/convictions for minors? How could Eden get around that?

    Simple: If your calendar years are half that of the COI, your 15-year-old becomes 30, and you have “righteous” anger aplenty to point right back at the COI.

    If a few kids have to die to make ends meet? Well, It's just bigger than us.

    (OR I wanted to write a fic where Simon is actually just a really fucking scared and traumatized child, because Mark you hurt me with that ending so name Simon will get hugs.)

    Summary

    This is a fourth-wall-breaking idea that I came up with! - this series has been adopted 👍👍✨

    Originally, this series was just a one-shot, but with all the support and comments, we turned it into a full-blown plotline: Most of the suggestions were simply too good to pass up...🌟⭐🌟
    Genshin has been bending the rules of game design, and i couldn't help but pick them apart :)

    This series features:

    - Kaeya being aware of the game ✨
    - Painful revival / healing of characters near statues ✨
    - Dying over and over again ✨
    - The nation of Khaenri'ah, attempting to break the game and getting cursed for it 🌸
    - Celestia = MiHoYo ✨
    - Brotherly Angst? Certainly!✨
    - Breaking the game mechanics (Matrix style) ✨

    Series Entries:
    [Cross The Line] - ACT I - Overview of the Gesnhin Impact game world, with Kaeya being an alcoholic and Diluc discovering the reason for Kaeya's misery.

    [Path to Truth] - ACT II - Kaeya and Diluc take a look at their own lives, and become aware of all the interferences within. Together, they acquire a new goal - break the chains, and regain control.

    [Broken Gates] - ACT III - Not this year, for sure! 😅

    [???] - ACT ??? - ????

    Summary

    Illuga was familiar with the Lightkeepers’ rules and regulations, and while fraternization was not strictly outlawed it was frowned upon. No one would bat an eye at a roll in the hay on the eve of battle or in the brittle silence after a funeral banquet. But to do so again, and again, and again…

    Well. It simply wasn’t done.

    So Illuga was going to stop doing it.

    Any day now.
