    Summary

    “Venti,” Aether tries again, wetting his lips. “When Zhongli lost his Gnosis,” he says and the words are so carefully chosen that it arouses suspicion in the former Anemo Archon, “he seems to have lost something else.”

    “His dignity and self-respect?” grumbles Venti, unhelpfully.

    “Is he always like this?” asks Zhongli, plainly.

    “Oh, you trunkless legs of stone, did I strike a nerve, did I —” starts Venti but then pointedly clamps his mouth shut. A cold chill races down his spine. “What did you mean?” he asks instead. Swallowing down a lump of nerves, Venti continues, “You know I’m always like this, blockhead.”

    or, zhongli loses his memories temporarily after giving up his gnosis and the traveler brings him to mondstadt so venti can pick up the pieces. era-long misunderstandings come to the surface and venti learns the meaning of 'always'.

    Summary

    “Usually, usually when I’m like this,” Venti starts and then restarts, rising to his feet, still a tad wobbly, “I need a distraction so I don’t just,” and a pause for another sneeze and unsightly sniffle, “focus on it. I think a lot of the sneezing is just because you’re thinking of it.”

    “A distraction,” Zhongli repeats, the words syrupy like honey on his lips.

    Venti glances back at him, catches the way the embers this time illuminate something different in the inlaid amber. “Yeah. Have any ideas?”

    or, in other words, after thousands of years, venti and zhongli try being friends with benefits. it blows up in venti's face, as things usually do. but not after many, many nights spent together and causing mild distress to everyone that knows them.

    “They must’ve been hacked.”
    “You think so?”
    “Dude, I don’t fucking know.”

    This is the truth: Hawke has too much power over him and he's scared of running from one master to the next.

    And this is the sad, pathetic truth: Fenris is too broken to know how to be what Hawke deserves.

    “D’you realize,” [Crowley] said, “that we never tire of things humans get bored with on the regular?”

    Aziraphale shrugged, lazily basking. “I’ve always assumed it’s that we don’t tire of each other.”

    Summary

    From a Hobbitkink prompt:

    The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

    The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

    (Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

     

    (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

    Summary

    "Magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him. Foul and corrupt are they who have taken His gift, and turned it against His children. They shall be named Maleficar, accursed ones. They shall find no rest in this world, or Beyond." Anders knew the verse. Every mage did. But Anders was a runner. He ran from the Circle. He ran from the Templars. He ran from relationships. So what did he care? He was never going to rest anyway.

    Summary

    Aziraphale saw him sometimes in all-staff meetings, sitting toward the front but off to the side, lounging against a wall. Even then, he’d had style—wings tipped in gold and face painted with gold flakes in the pattern of the first constellation he designed. He was amazing, and eye-catching, and it was no exaggeration to say that he did not know Aziraphale even existed.
