Summary
In the modern day of Teyvat, desires and pent up wishes always come to light at a certain time of the year. A Season that begins and ends, rife with festivities - and an opportunity to acknowledge a self that society may never afford otherwise.
But in House Guillton, theirs was a family of muted desires and clockwork expectations. As the gears and oils of society’s machine, a simple principle of negation was the summation of a Guillton’s desires.
“And I have always known what I don’t want.”
“... So you would only know what you do want, after you lose it?” -

Summary
A certain Archmage departed from her homeland - a paradise wrought with longevity - for frontiers ripe with excitement and dangers that she hasn't tasted in thousands of years.
At least, this is what she tells herself, when subconsciously, it was not only adventures she sought...
But faded memories that she now regards as "dreams."

Summary
Even in a world so full of "love" and "affection", why is it that a certain bird continues to wander in solitude?
By choice? By indifference? Or perhaps, she was waiting... for the one to inspire that other half of her soul.

Summary
Why do birds have wings? To fly, of course~ Unbothered is the head held high, and unfettered are the wings that soar to the envy of others.
... Hehe.
Alas, if the Creator had decided this from the very beginning, then, can those birds ever fly “free", my dear, great painter...?
OR
On the continent of Mu, Vita finds that "freedom" has many, different flavors - almost, as many, as the shades of "colors" that humans perceived.

Summary
A century has passed since the New Order ended the war between humans and vampires, ushering in an uneasy era of peace. Yet beneath the surface, old grudges refuse to die. Rogue vampires still stalk the night, while hatred continues to fester among humans.
Born into the declining House Guillotin, Sandrone has only one goal. Restore her family's former glory and one day claim the title of Guild Master of the Noblesse Hunter's Guild. Brilliant, ambitious, and unwavering in her convictions, she believes every step she takes brings her closer to that future.
Until one fateful night.
A single encounter beneath the setting sun shatters everything she thought she knew, setting into motion a chain of events that will change not only the course of her ambition, but perhaps the fate of two worlds.
For every ending begins at twilight.
And every tomorrow beneath a moonlit night. -

Summary
Sandrone visibly paled. The consequence of her actions had bore fruit. Actions that Rosalyne warned her to be careful about. Her decisions that Arlecchino thought she should rethink because it might only satisfy her own ego.
Both advice from her friends that knew her better and thought well to warn her when she had told them, once, because Sandrone got tired of mulling over it by herself.
Both advice she ignored, in favor of being self-righteous.
…And it was Columbina’s feelings that took the brunt of it.

The Romantic Act of Messing Around with Your Frenemy’s Internal Components by Woolmarket

Summary
“Ineffa?”
The automaton stood in the doorway, a wreck of herself. Her cloak was shredded, armor dented and split, glowing fluid trickling down her side. Sparks snapped weakly from her joints. Her movements were stilted, each step a halting calculation.
Jahoda’s first instinct was to lash out. “What, did you trip over your own shiny legs? You look like—”
Her voice cut off. Ineffa’s eyes, normally sharp and steady, were dimming.
“…I require assistance,” Ineffa said softly, her tone measured even as her systems faltered.
Or: Nefer always said she’d wind up with her hands all over Ineffa…

Summary

Victoria’s face crumples. The hollow look in her eyes is gone now, their frozen state having thawed into violet pools of heartache and regret.
Or: Selene and Victoria’s relationship in the aftermath of Victoria’s bad ending.
