    Summary

    Varka felt his jaw tighten, but he buried the reaction before it could reach his face.

    “Here is what is going to happen,” he said, keeping his voice calm and level. “I am going to set you down, and you are not going to stab me.”

    The boy stared at him.

    Varka waited.

    The boy continued staring, darker and harder this time, as though silence itself had been sharpened into a weapon.

    Varka exhaled through his nose. “That was the part where you agreed.”

    No agreement came.

    Of course it didn’t.

    Varka glanced briefly toward the starsilver shard, then back to the boy’s face. “Fine. Since we are negotiating in silence, I will take anything that is not immediate violence as a tentative yes.”

    The boy’s eyes narrowed by a fraction.

    “Good enough.”

    Or:

    Varka finds a mint-green murder bunny abandoned on Dragonspine and, against all common sense, decides to adopt him.

    NB: Only Lohen is younger than in canon here. This is purely for plot reasons. By plot, I mean I like the thought of all the knights trying to rein in one feral gremlin.

    Summary

    In the quiet devastation following the 6.6 catastrophe—Irminsul burned, Dottore erased from the world— Pantalone, stands alone among the remnants of his husband's laboratory. He uncovers a hidden journal, penned in Zandik's true hand, that confesses a long-held love and a secret experiment: the creation of a child born of their combined flesh, a whispered wish Pantalone drunkenly voiced decades ago and then forgot. But the journal's final, sterile entry is a death certificate: "Subject Lohen deemed unviable. Disposal in the snow. No survivor." Pantalone buries the grief of a son he never knew and accepts a Fatui mission to Mondstadt as a distraction.

    Summary

    “You know you were supposed to return after the ambush,” Varka said, folding his arms.

    Lohen did not look up. “I was following the stragglers.”

    “Yes, I gathered that.” Varka’s gaze drifted from the dissolving corpses to the rabbit curled in Lohen’s lap. “What I don’t understand is how that turned into you having a tea party with a rabbit.”

    Or

    A pre-release character study of Lohen as someone touched by the Abyss, yet still claimed by Mondstadt’s winds.

    Summary

    Lohen is the Vice Captain of the 5th Company, a star of the Knights of Favonius. He has a name, a rank, and a life, soon to be promoted as the new Captain.

    Or so he believes.

    You think you are Lohen?

    You are not real. You are just a dream that I am having. So don't be afraid. It won't hurt to disappear. You never truly existed in their eyes anyway."

    He wasn't sure about the difference of being in a dream and reality anymore.
