Oh, My Dear Akivili [Honkai: Star Rail]

[The novel is officially complete] [Here's a plug for my upcoming fic, blurb below Related danmei selfcest fic: [Honkai: Star Rail] Aeon Livestream, Spreading Rumors Online Related Elation x Trailblaze fic: Welcome to the A-Named Aeon's Role-Playing Game [Honkai: Star Rail]] Blurb: Akivili, Aeon of Trailblaze, was the universe's social butterfly. He could smash through Qlipoth's wall on a ghostfire bike, then sneak the Conductor's pot away with Aha, only to come a cropper on a branch of the Imaginary Tree in the end. After falling in battle one day, he slept for years. When he woke, he thought he would still be hanging from a branch in the southeast, but the moment he opened his eyes, he found himself face-to-face with a smiling courier. "Hello! You're finally awake. You have a collect-on-delivery fee for a package that's been overdue for five Amber Eras. Please pay now." Akivili, penniless: "..." He didn't even have to guess who was behind this. "Aha!!!" "You have to understand, my friend. The entire universe accepts Akivili's fall as fact." "Spit it out." "I'm broke too." "Don't get violent, my dear Akivili, my dear Emanator. Leave it to Aha, and Aha will take care of everything." "Wait! Explain how I became an Emanator of Elation!" So, just as the Astral Express Crew finished their trip to Penacony and prepared to set off again, the train suddenly went haywire. Laughter of Elation filled the carriages and forcibly changed their destination. "Destination changed! Next stop: Akivili's birthplace!" Every Aeon knows that nobody but Akivili can understand Aha's thought process. But who knew these two would pull off something this huge without a word? Can someone tell them if turning each other into their own Emanators is some new Aeon-style way of showing affection? *Notes 1. The pairing is Elation (Aha) x Trailblaze (Akivili). Akivili is slightly idealized as an Aeon everyone longs for. 2. The Trailblazer is Stelle. This leans a little toward an ensemble cast, but the author is still a Dan Heng fan, so he may get a bit more screen time. 3. Since the official lore is still incomplete, there will be lots of fabricated history! 4. I made the cover myself. Updates will probably be between 6 and 8 p.m. If anything comes up, I'll post a notice or take a leave of absence.

Come on in! The Aeon Livestream has everything you could want, and we guarantee a fair deal!] After everything was over, Dan Heng was finally able to set off again with his companions. On the day they departed, Aha's call reached the current navigator, a gray-haired raccoon girl, who snuck into the train's restricted area: the cockpit. Then she floored it and sent the train crashing into a battlefield from a Xianzhou-Ambrosial Arbor war more than seven hundred years ago. So when Dan Heng woke up, he saw his past self towering over the waves in the distance. Dan Heng: Thanks, but no thanks. My past-life PTSD is acting up. Meanwhile, somewhere unknown to the Astral Express Crew: [Ding! Personnel awakening detected. Welcome to the Aeon Livestream!] What could make a fluffy white cat wail and protest? "Master! Believe me! I really don't feel that way about Brother Dan Feng!" What could make a gifted artisan issue a shocking declaration? "I don't like men! I don't like women either! I like robots!" And what could make the current Vidyadhara High Elder ask in utter bewilderment: "I can understand all that other nonsense, but why do you think I'm the bottom?" Stay tuned for more, brought to you by the Aeon Livestream's official spokesperson, Aha, and the completely clueless, cold-faced little dragon Dan Heng. Notes: 1. The pairing is Dan Feng x Dan Heng. The end point of being a devoted fan is selfcest! 2. The Trailblazer is Stelle. The timeline is an unconventional take on the High-Cloud Quintet era. 3. There may be a bit of an ensemble cast, and characters from the current storyline may appear, including Xianzhou characters. 4. There will be lots of shipping jokes! They're just for fun. Everyone except Fengheng is platonic! 5. There will be plenty of fabricated history! The title isn't a scam: this really is an Aeon livestream. Related Elation x Trailblaze fic: Welcome to the A-Named Aeon's Role-Playing Game [Honkai: Star Rail] Blurb: One day, long-fallen Trailblaze suddenly posted in the Aeon group chat: "Question: I woke up to find that an old friend I haven't seen in years has split into several people. What should I do?" The lurking Aeons all popped up: Harmony: Are you troubled because they split apart? Akivili: No, actually, I split apart too. Enigmata: What did they do? Akivili: They started role-playing with me... Preservation: Why does that trouble you? Akivili: They confessed to me! Remembrance: How many of them? Akivili: All of them!!! In the end, great Erudition offered the most upvoted answer: 1. Put them back together, then you two can live happily ever after. 2. What's most important is that you and "them" live happily together. Akivili: But it's Aha! All the Aeons, in unison: Is there anyone else it could be?! * Akivili woke to find the universe completely changed. Destruction had fallen, Abundance had disappeared, and the whereabouts of Finality were unknown. He had been dead for years and had just come back to life, but his power was in pieces, with only a tiny fragment left. The good news: He couldn't die. The bad news: He wasn't exactly living well, either. So the first thing Akivili did after coming back to life was put himself back together. But soon, he realized something was wrong. Why did those people carrying fragments of his power look so much like different versions of the jerk who blew up his train? * This is a role-playing game between two A-named Aeons. They might be a vampire hunted down by a mysterious black-clad distillery, who bites his neck with sharp fangs and floods his senses with Elation. They might be a giant beast said to guard a "book," who wraps a long tail around his waist and claims him as their own. Or perhaps... If you're lucky enough to join in, congratulations! You've become part of their play! A little skit: A certain cowboy of The Hunt: "Hello! I'm a former Nameless of the Astral Express. My name is Pom-Pom." Akivili: "So you're the famous Nameless! What an honor. I'm a Masked Fool. Pleased to meet you." A certain hat rack: That jerk blew up my car before he left! Akivili: You two must be close. A certain hat rack: ??? Notes: 1. The pairing is Aeon of Elation (Aha) x Aeon of Trailblaze (Akivili). Akivili is slightly idealized as an Aeon everyone longs for. 2. Since the setting and background are incomplete, there will be lots of fabricated history. (The fictional history scholars accept responsibility.) 3. Bungou Stray Dogs and Detective Conan have been adapted to fit Honkai: Star Rail's setting, so some details will differ. Neither has been connected to the interstellar setting, and their power levels certainly won't match those in Honkai: Star Rail. 4. Aeons think differently from humans, so any kind of play could happen. Please be prepared. 5. The jokes won't change, but the blurb and notes may be revised. Remember to reread the notes after the story starts. Theme: The path of Trailblaze will never end!
