    Summary

    It had been months since Lumine last colored Xiao's sky blue. But when she left to pursue a lead on her brother in Sumeru, his life lost its color again. He missed the long nights, the heat of their passion, the dawn of their budding feelings. He so wished that they were able to reach full bloom before she was whisked away from him.

    Cruel, cruel feelings. And more cruel thoughts crept in once she left.

    What if she was happier there? Why did she never call his name?

    What if... what if he had been replaced?

    Summary

    “I,” she begins, making sure to flash her teeth, “want your firstborn.”

    Tartaglia’s eyes narrow. “My firstborn,” he echoes.

    “Yes.” She steps closer, until her nose nearly brushes against the steel of his breastplate, and peers up at him. Urgh, human men and their ridiculously tall bodies. “Give me your firstborn child, and I shall cure your brother.”

    or

    Summary

    His smile glimmered with a confident charm, as did the single ruby that dangled down from his ear—a welcome warning. “You can call me Tartaglia. And you are?”

    The auburn-haired man wore a disguise, a name that wasn’t his.

    But unbeknownst to them, the first and last time their lips brushed was never truly their last.

    Summary

    Xiao's expression shuttered, before his fingers curled to clasp her hand equally tight. He stepped in close as if to hide her inside his shadow.

    "Give your body over to me. The wind will take you. Nothing will hurt you while we travel."

    Aka: Xiao finds an injured Lumine on a beach in Liyue after her encounter with the Raiden Shogun.
