Summary
In the modern day of Teyvat, desires and pent up wishes always come to light at a certain time of the year. A Season that begins and ends, rife with festivities - and an opportunity to acknowledge a self that society may never afford otherwise.
But in House Guillton, theirs was a family of muted desires and clockwork expectations. As the gears and oils of society’s machine, a simple principle of negation was the summation of a Guillton’s desires.
“And I have always known what I don’t want.”
“... So you would only know what you do want, after you lose it?” -

Summary
In 2045, a mysterious “ubiquitous gestational inviability” has driven the global fertility rate to virtually zero. Only ten thousand women possessing the rare genotype “rr” - correlated with exceptional intelligence and talent - can carry a pregnancy to term. This existential threat has led to the rise of the Utilitarian Sect in the United States, an authoritarian regime that has risen to power through undeniable logic and argumentative skill. The Sect soon arrives at a sobering realization: survival demands one hundred thousand births within fifteen years from these ten thousand rr women, nearly all of whom have refused the call to be "Vessels."
Invoking the greater good, the reluctant women are captured and rebranded as "Boundmaids," where a dollar-driven ecosystem subjects them to the wildest luxuries mixed with the most humiliating rituals. Society rejoices in renewal, Boundmaids writhe in engineered euphoria, all in utilitarianism's calculus of net pleasure.

She uses the fact that she nearly got akumatized to get away, pretending that Ladybird took her away for safety, she adopts a lot of alter egos to keep herself safe, but being away from school, family and her bad friends finally allows her some times to explore being a guardian, something that raises questions about her mortality.

Summary
If you’ve wondered what type of love is worthy of war –
May I present to you a cross-sectional analysis on the anatomy of the Second Wizarding War.On a chessboard stretching across Wizarding England a villain is reincarnated and an assassin is anointed. A kingmaker is assassinated and a hero is appointed. Along ever-widening fault lines, every wand is drawn to battle across a chequered board steeped in blood turned black.
Fathers. Mothers. Mentors. Sons. Daughters. Lovers.
The Chosen Ones. And those who choose them.
Heroes are only ever as good as their last win. Villains are only ever as good as their last kill.
If love is war – then this is a love story.--

Summary
Daniel and Armand’s relationship following the first and second interview.
Armand cupped her face with a single hand, thumb stroking against her cheek. “You’re going to live a long, beautiful life. I can see it. I know that scares you too, aging, but you will wear it well, I think. If, towards the end of this long life, an illness befalls you, I will not let you suffer. I promise, my darling, I will kill you. I will savor you to the last drop. Maybe I will drink past your death, follow you down into death at last. Maybe you will die in my arms and I will pull you apart, piece by piece. I’ll fashion jewelry from your bones. I’ll preserve your heart and keep it always in a beautiful jar.”

Summary
Blue had expected withering to be painful. Arduously so. And cold, too, as light seeped out of his petals, out of his fingertips... but it's warm next to him. Warm and heavy, as though someone lies beside him... and as he looks above, he sees not darkness, but glowing blue stars as they pierce through a ceiling made of glass.
(a collection of loosely-connected stories, mostly focused on blue and yellow, about the flowers being relocated to castle town with susie and kris's help! this fic is partially inspired by room to grow by dinah_delightful GO READ IT NOWWWWW)

Summary
Anya Forger has lived five lives. In every single one, Damian Desmond becomes Prime Minister, delivers a stirring yet ill-advised speech, and declares a war nobody asked for.
This life, Anya opts out. She ignores politics, eats pastries, and lets history ruin itself without her involvement. That ends when she saves Damian’s life, and he responds like any sensible future warlord would: by proposing immediately. Now she’s engaged to the man who’ll destroy the world, and worse, her plan to do nothing with her life has gone off the rails.
It’s all going surprisingly well, aside from the constant sense she’s being outmanoeuvred in a game nobody wants to admit they’re playing.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
