Summary
"You!" Xiao growls, his hands balled into fists. A raging wind coils itself underneath his skin, snapping at his patience until he feels about to burst. "What were you thinking, getting in my way like that!"
It is less a question and more a condemnation. Or a desperate plea.
Still, Lumine mulls over his question with a naive seriousness that makes him want to bare his teeth and snarl. "I wasn't really thinking," she says quietly, as if in awe—of her own stupid action. "I saw the arrow headed for you... and I just jumped."
Lumine gets hurt from protecting Xiao. Xiao is none too pleased about it.

Summary
“Why do you wear so many damn layers?” Lumine grumbles to Venti as she fiddles with his shirt, trying to button it up.
“What, you don’t like my clothes?” Venti pouts. “And here I thought I looked the epitome of Mondstadt high fashion.”
“It was so much easier to strip them off,” she mutters with a roll of her eyes.
In which Lumine helps Venti put on his outfit in the morning—and does it with the utmost seriousness. Her touch does not stray and she does not tease. Definitely not. (And Venti definitely does not get her back.)

Summary
"You..." Xiao sniffs the air. The subtle yet acrid scent of rich alcohol drifts into his nose. "It seems you have had a busy night of celebrations," he notes.
Lumine giggles. His heart skips a beat, and he prays the night is too dark for her to notice the warmth of his ears.
"Mhm. But I didn't drink all that much, I swear,” she says sheepishly, rubbing her neck. "Is it that obvious?"
Xiao, Lumine, and after Beisht.

Summary
“Do you really, ah,” Lisa hisses as Jean runs her fangs over the delicate skin of Lisa's shoulder, “have to feed like this?”
In such an intimate position, with Lisa resting in Jean’s lap, close enough to feel the absence of a heartbeat.
Jean needs blood. Lisa is all too willing to provide.

Summary
“So… I won this round, comrade,” Childe says with a waggle of his eyebrows.
“You did,” she says, eyes glinting with something like amusement. He could never be sure of what it is she’s truly feeling—but he likes it, how she keeps him on his toes.
“I’m ready for my prize then,” he declares, leaning against her, forearm pressed to the tree trunk. Staring down at her, expectation in his startling-clear blue eyes.
Woe to the conqueror—because sometimes, winning is more pain than reward.

Summary
To greet the new customer, all the girls had lined up, pretty jewels to be picked up by whoever was rich enough to afford them—Lumine included. The guest who’d come in was handsome, if not a little… stoic in his expression. He'd introduced himself as Zhongli.
"I need someone to sleep with," he'd said simply, and Lumine had readied herself with an imperceptible exhale.
It turns out, she had misunderstood his request.

Their story had started like this: autumn leaves, drifting onto the forest floor; Lumine, her wings beating as she reels back; Venti, his fingers around her wrist to prevent her from fleeing.

Summary
Lumine's face softens, and Venti knows this expression. It haunts him in her brother, a ghost staring back when Aether’s lips slant at just the right angle, when Aether’s brows quirk at just the right curve.
He doesn’t know which he hates more, the sharp her or tender her—whether he hates it at all.
And he hates himself for that, more than anything else.

Summary
If Lumine didn't know any better, she'd say his closeness was calculated intent instead. The scent of him cloaks her, a slightly-bitter scent from snapped stems of freshly-picked qingxin. She can feel the subtle rise and fall of his chest against her. It’s a... situation.
And Xiao, still cool and collected. Barely ruffled. He’s not letting her up.
"You left yourself too open." He raises one of his brows. "Distracted?"
