    Summary

    “You’re not a bird, Sunday,” Mr Yang breaks the silence. Sunday’s eyes flick to him just in time to see him shake his head, his brow furrowed. “Nor are you flightless.”

    “Aren’t I?” he retorts. It’s too late to back out now that he’s started the conversation, now that he’s laying himself bare in front of the one person he respects most on this train. “What is it that differentiates me from an injured dove, Mr. Yang? My body might be fine, but to say the same of my mind –”

    “You’re not an injured dove either,” Mr. Yang cuts in, firm. Final. His gaze lifts from the tea, eyes blazing with something Sunday can’t name. “And even if you were, you would’ve gotten better with help.”

    Or: Five times Sunday floundered while trying to find his place on the Astral Express and the one time he felt right at home.

    Summary

    Diluc scares a lot of people in ways he doesn't notice sometimes.

    And that’s exactly why Kaeya’s downright terrified of leaving him alone for five seconds.

     

    (A series of out of order oneshots where Kaeya tries his absolute best to keep his brother relatively safe -- and how Diluc unintentionally causes trouble--unintentionally, for others.)

    Summary

    He doesn't know who or what he is, or if his name is even Caelus but he does know one thing. The coldness in his chest lessens when he's around cute things. He craves to have this thing called 'family,' even if he's not sure what it is. Why can't he swoop in and collect (kidnap) these small children?

    March 7th loves being an Aunt. Dan Heng is subtlety trying to become a step-dad to a horde of children as he seduces their Star-dad. Welt has given up. Himeko won't stop laughing and Pom-pom is overjoyed to have more people on the train.

    Every new planet the Express visits, the horde grows and the cold place in Caelus’ star-soul gets warmer.

    Summary

    People keep coming up to Kaveh to congratulate him. Kaveh doesn’t really know why, and he’s a little too scared to ask at this point, so he heads back home, content if not a little bemused.

    He is, unfortunately, reminded of it the very next day, when the door slams open and Al-Haitham stalks in. “Mind telling me why everyone was congratulating me today?” he demands. “About your pregnancy?"

     

    Or: Al-Haitham is, without a doubt, the most annoying person Kaveh knows. Maybe the world’s second-most annoying person can help Kaveh figure him out.
