Summary
“You only exist until you leave. Then this–” his arms uncross themselves to gesture to the sky, the sands, the Lighthouse– “is wiped until the next time, I know. The next Echo that comes, he will not know we talked.”
The Echo places a hand over his chest; it’s the same as when Osiris did back in the HELM, except he moved to feel Saint’s chest, his armor, his existence. “But I will know,” he says.
saint is surrounded by simulations.

Summary
The wind keeps him company that night, and the following day on his trek to Starsnatch cliff. It’s a gentle breeze, not at all different from the ones in Nod-Krai, and yet, inexplicably, it feels like home. The sentimentality must really be getting to him these days.
He visits familiar places and finds them not much touched by time, but perhaps his absence from Mondstadt feels longer to him than it had actually been.after the years-long expedition, Varka returns to Mondstadt

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
"He doesn’t believe it’s because he dislikes Varka. No, the fact that Lohen has allowed Varka to come this close to him without being sent away indicates quite the opposite. If Lohen didn’t like Varka, he would’ve told the other man to stop long ago. Instead, Varka supposes that…
Lohen doesn’t exactly know what to do with love."
Or,
Varka reflects on his relationship with Lohen and Lohen's relationship with love. He takes care of him while he has a fever.

Summary
Benoit forces himself to look up at Jud from where he was attempting to decipher the Father's scribbled notes. Jud stands there, shaky hands hanging loosely at his sides, in his dark sweater and grey sweatpants that Benoit knows are only staying up due to the efforts of some tightly-drawn drawstrings. Hair dripping, cheeks rosy, eyes bloodshot, beautiful.
Road to fucking Damascus.
