    Summary

    Alhaitham’s constellation finds its home on the bony edge of her shoulder, where he supports her when she sways. Six dots in a shade of turquoise and a hawk mid-flight.

    “My little bird,” his grandmother had said to him as they admired the design, heads pressed together in the mirror. “My little hawk, I always knew you would grow to be strong.”

    - - -

    In Teyvat, the constellations of those whose lives intertwine with yours find their home on your skin.

    Summary

    “I want you to teach me to fight,” Karen says again.

    “And what makes you think that I can teach you?” Matt says. His mouth attempts something like a smile -– bland, innocent, no Daredevil here, nope, not me -– but it’s more of a grimace than anything else.

    God, he is such a bad liar.

    Summary

    The difference between a labyrinth and a maze is that a labyrinth has one path but a maze has many.

    Alhaitham is lying in front of him, breathing shallowly. Kaveh cannot tell if he is asleep or unconscious, but it probably doesn’t matter. He is lying in their bed or he is sinking into a pond filled with lotuses or he is on display like a statue on a bed of marble or he is trapped in the roots of Irminsul – or he is in all of these places at once because this is in Kaveh’s mind, and his head is bursting with the ways that Alhaitham could be lying before him.

    Kaveh touches Alhaitham, not with his hands but with his eyes. He takes in the shape of Alhaitham’s body piece by piece, from the tips of his fingers up the slope of his arm towards the curve of his face. “Vision happens in the brain, not in the eyes,” he remembers Alhaitham telling him at some point in the past. It feels like the words are echoing around him, whispers layering over each other.

    The wire that attaches to Alhaitham’s earpiece is pulsating; something fluorescent is flowing out of it. Kaveh is strangely convinced that Alhaitham’s mind is coming out of his head and that substance is full of temptation.

    Summary

    Nine times Kaeya wishes he did not have a birthday and one time he celebrates it.

    ------------

    “When is your birthday, by the way?” Diluc mumbles. “If you like crystalflies, maybe... I'll make be a gift for you.”

    Birthday. A strange concept that these people have – these people in this new nation beneath the sun.

    In Diluc’s palm, the crystalfly glows faintly: iridescent wingtip trembling at the edge of life, the barest shimmer of movement; delicate as winter sun. And Kaeya finds himself quite unable to look away.

    “Actually,” he whispers, so that only Diluc can hear. “It’s today.”
