A Winterland Firefly's Vacation in Mondstadt

No-couple, feel-good story, mostly everyday life. OOC warning.

When Varka returned from his expedition carrying a lantern, the people of Mondstadt weren't particularly surprised.

After all, Mondstadt is the City of Freedom. Why shouldn't the poor Grand Master bring back a souvenir from his expedition to Nod-Krai, the borderland beyond the gate?

According to the Knights of Favonius, the lantern's colors closely resembled those of a local Abyssal monster in Nod-Krai.

But it wasn't a monster. The lantern was the embodiment of the Grand Master's friend.

Ye Luoya was still a little apprehensive when he handed Flins over to the Traveler.

The new moon had come to the land, but the Wild Hunt's calamity surged in. The Lampkeepers charged ahead one after another, unafraid of sacrifice, and even Flins, far away in the Eternal Night Cemetery, was roused by it.

That day, blazing blue flames burned the Wild Hunt from the land. Their nobleman-like friend also reverted to his true form: a tiny blue flame.

Ye Luoya realized who he was: the Azure Flame, Cliror. He also understood that Cliror could not stay here for long.

Ye Luoya handed the lantern to the Traveler, who passed it to Varka. Varka brought the exhausted Flins back to Mondstadt and went looking for the mysterious wine-loving poet.

The poet told them there was no rush. After years of fighting, Mr. Flins deserved to set down his burdens for a while and take a vacation (?).

And so began Flins's vacation in Mondstadt, amnesia edition.

The City of Freedom welcomes everyone, and Flins soon found that out.

...Khaenri'ahns, long-lived beings, artificial humans, and artificial humans made by artificial humans. One more fairy wouldn't make a difference.

Flins's story has no romance, but features plenty of platonic relationships, and follows the fun adventures of a little amnesiac flame vacationing in Mondstadt. The White Tsar has lots of author-created details. Any OOC is on me.

Coming soon: The Regrator Has to Solo All Six Doctors Too? A Dottore/Pantalone pairing

[An unconventional infinite-flow story, partly in livestream format. Each of Dottore's segments has an adventure with Pantalone.]

After spending year after year in Snezhnaya, dealing with the Northland Bank's tears and cries of anguish, Pantalone, the bank's director, finally went on a field assignment again after more than three hundred years.

The reason was simple. As the Northland Bank's director, he had to personally carry out Zandik's last will and testament.

But this assignment turned out to be far more thrilling than he'd imagined.

Dottore, a genius and a madman all at once, had always dreamed of surpassing his limits. He conducted an experiment involving blasphemy.

The experiment went a little wrong. The arrogant Dottore never imagined that he'd be avenged by his former selves.

Unchosen desires had become the Abyss, and by worldly standards, he was a man consumed by obsession and twisted morals.

His segments, now turned into the Abyss, had returned to take revenge on him, along with his original self.

Unfortunately, he was inside Irminsul and couldn't interact with them directly, so the Dottores turned their attention to this so-called former subordinate of theirs.

Irminsul became a vast arena, with everything that had happened serving as the backdrop to the story.

A mysterious cloaked man was chosen by a "god," and given the task of destroying Dottore's remaining segments.

Pantalone: ???

Wait, I'm a sickly civilian who can't fight at all. I'm supposed to kill Dottore's segments? What kind of joke is this?

--Even though he knew they would all agree to it.

Pantalone had no idea how to proceed, while all of Sumeru's people waited to laugh at him.

The six segments conferred briefly and decided to take turns. They could each enjoy some thrilling time with their lover, whom they hadn't seen in ages, before worrying about anything else.

Pantalone: Is there any chance you realize I'm one of the few people in the Fatui Harbingers who works in administration... pure administration!
