    Summary

    One evening, Tighnari is out alone in the night when Collei approaches him.

    He didn’t hear her wake from a nightmare. But his ears perk up nonetheless, still on alert, because rarely does Collei ever seek him out in the middle of the night.

    The Nilotpala lotuses aren’t blooming. It’s a shame. The pounding rain only minutes ago obscured the moonlight, and he hasn’t been able to sleep, still wired from hours of hearing nothing but the pitter patter of droplets hitting windows like drums and the crack of thunder like divine punishment.

    Collei sits down beside him. “I… had a dream, Master Tighnari.”

    Tighnari hums in acknowledgement. Her voice is soft. Quiet. He can’t help but appreciate it.

    “...I was wondering if you’d like to hear about it.”

    Impossibly, his lips twitch in the ghost of a smile. “I would.”

    It’s the first time Collei talks to him through the night instead of the other way around.

    He doesn’t mind.

     

    OR: Tighnari finds a world in the young girl with a smile as bright as the flowers in the rainforest and heart too big for her body.

    And then, he loses it all.

    Summary

    Crepus time travels to the future before his death. He’s a little confused as to why his sons aren’t talking. He’ll have to fix that won’t he.

    Or

    He pressed a firm kiss against Kaeya’s temple, the boy had grown so much, he still smelled the same except there was something cold permeating the normal warm scent of calla lilies. “My how you’ve grown” Crepus whispered in amazement, Kaeya blinked rapidly, something he sometimes did when he was trying not to cry.”
