Summary
"I won’t even ask how you are doing. I’m sure that’s the last thing you want to hear right now.” Tighnari pauses here, long enough for a spinning coin to decide on a face to land on. “Standard hospital procedure is to keep patients on Neural-freeze until their symptoms progress to the point of no return. However, this rule makes no distinction between curable and terminal cases. Kaveh’s dose of the Withering greatly exceeds the lethal dose. Neural-freeze will keep patients alive in a coma state, but every three minutes he’s on it is one less minute he spends alive."
In which Alhaitham races against the clock to find a cure for a terminal illness.

Summary
Facing away from him, she sits on a swing made of vines, gently rocking back and forth in the same wind that breathes new life into the fallen leaves around her. She watches the birds ruffling their feathers, nipping at the ground. He knows that she is aware of his presence, for the wind stills and the birds fly away upon his approach.

An overly detailed reimagining of Genshin vision powers by Kosality
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
25 Sep 2024
Tags
Summary
(not a fic, meta worldbuilding)
Imagine the vision powers as a muscle. It gets stronger with training, but your arm cannot lift a car no matter how much you train. Same with the magic physics-breaking muscle (otherwise some of these powers would be too OP...) Each vision holder can break a specific law of nature, and each elemental identity may be described within a larger scientific framework.
Included characters: Tartaglia, Fischl, Kazuha, Sucrose, Venti, Xiao, Beidou, Zhongli, Raiden Shogun, Kokomi, Hu Tao, Yoimiya, Heizou, Chongyun, Xingqiu, Yelan, Albedo, Ningguang, Ganyu, Eula, Keqing, Razor

Summary
Red flows up the spire, streams across the roof, and seeps into every crevice. Cast by that strange stage-light, long shadows stretch to meet the horizon where earth devours sky. Withered and withering leaves whip up the air into a wailing swirl, and the generous foliage of yesteryear is now no more than a dream. The die has been cast, and the stage is awash with the blood of all that could not be. But the play is not yet over. After all, even tragedies must play out until the curtain call.

Summary
(non-fiction essay, meta analysis, not a fic)
Sumeru is a vast and complex nation with problems of ethnocentrism and ethnonationalism touched upon in the game but never explored. Sethos, the newest addition to the region's ensemble, should have been able to tie up all the loose ends left at the end of the Archon Quests.
Key words: should have been.
In this round-up of my notes and thoughts on a previous Sethos character study, I break down my thoughts and understanding on Sumeru's narrative, philosophical inspirations and influences, and why there are three Rtawahist scholar NPCs in the Sumeru Archon quest.

Ostracization, Responsibility, and the Absurd Man-- An Analysis of the Character Flaws and Consequent Intrinsic Conflict of the Doctor Through the Lens of Absurdism by underfaller
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
16 Jan 2026

Summary
This paper aims to not only analyze the parallels of Meursault and Dottore, but to examine the Doctor from the perspective of Albert Camus’s absurdism as a whole. Despite the drastic difference of media these two characters are found in, through the lens of absurdism, one can argue that through the Doctor’s disconnect and consequential ostracization from society, relentless pursuit of knowledge and meaning in a fundamentally absurd universe, hypocritical desire of acceptance from his peers, and the juxtaposition of character between himself and the Traveler, Dottore proves to be narratively absurdist man-- just one that has neither accepted nor completed this role yet.
