  1. Summary

    The Chalk Prince and the Traveler from Beyond the Stars (name heavily based on the name of the Version 1.3 Flagship Event "The Chalk Prince and the Dragon") is an AU where Paimon does not appear as the Traveler's guide, leaving them to wander through the wilds of Teyvat alone until encountering Albedo one snowy winter night. Their mutual curiosity for each other, and shared goal of learning more about this world, leads to the blooming of a strange new friendship.

    Basically, it's a Paimonless AU where Albedo is sort of the Traveler's guide. The Traveler is a weird ass eldritch star creature in a human disguise and Albedo is... Albedo. There is no way this could possibly go badly

    Summary

    Varka felt his jaw tighten, but he buried the reaction before it could reach his face.

    “Here is what is going to happen,” he said, keeping his voice calm and level. “I am going to set you down, and you are not going to stab me.”

    The boy stared at him.

    Varka waited.

    The boy continued staring, darker and harder this time, as though silence itself had been sharpened into a weapon.

    Varka exhaled through his nose. “That was the part where you agreed.”

    No agreement came.

    Of course it didn’t.

    Varka glanced briefly toward the starsilver shard, then back to the boy’s face. “Fine. Since we are negotiating in silence, I will take anything that is not immediate violence as a tentative yes.”

    The boy’s eyes narrowed by a fraction.

    “Good enough.”

    Or:

    Varka finds a mint-green murder bunny abandoned on Dragonspine and, against all common sense, decides to adopt him.

    NB: Only Lohen is younger than in canon here. This is purely for plot reasons. By plot, I mean I like the thought of all the knights trying to rein in one feral gremlin.

    Summary

    “Are you well, boy?” Michihiro asked with a hint of gentleness, knowing damn well that the child was not, in fact, okay. Nobody in his shoes would be, Youkai or not.

    “I’m a girl,” was all she said.

    “Oh.” Why did you utter that aloud, you fool? “My apologies.”

    OR: an AU where the patriarch of the Iwakura Clan is the first to find a nameless Tengu child at the bottom of a mountain and adopt her. Iwakura Sara is raised in kinder but more cowardly hands.

    Summary

    Musing some words to himself, Dahlia ripped a dandelion from the ground, prayed for some real turbulence to make its way into his life, and let the seeds carry his wishes to Lord Barbatos. He had nothing to lose after all, and it was most definitely an unlikely idea.

    Or so he thought.

    ___

    Alternatively, Dahlia makes a wish without realizing it's weight, and accidentally becomes Herald of the Anemo Archon in the process of investigating a very mischievous Venti.
