Summary
The missing scene where Aventurine meets with a Doctor of Chaos following his journey into and out of the Primordial Dreamscape.
He stares at the white patient gown, folded in thirds next to a bouquet of flowering Alaya. He tells himself it is different this time. Here, now, he has a name, recognised by the pious scribes of history. There is no more need for examinations, no more prodding, calloused hands, tittering in half-moon eyes at the edge of his dancing periphery. All directors of The Company must submit to rigorous vetting. That's what they said, yet how many directors wore their sordid biography on spoiled skin pulled taut over too small bones?
The thing the records don't say is how the Avgin knack for reading minds is less mysticism and more diligent observation. Even lies reveal a scrap of truth, and Aventurine knows a thing or two about lies. So when the doctors told him—It's just a routine test—he smelled the putrid rot of curiosity, made rancid by blatant self-interest, long before the vials of his collected blood could clink against their rack.
Or, the time he remembers why he said no to Elation.

The Fae King's Consort by Nuying (Lachrymosity) for Maleficar

18 Jan 2026

Summary
Morax, King of the Summer Fae, wants an heir so he can finally retire. After twenty-seven failed marriages, he entertains his nemesis the Tsaritsa's wager and takes Tartaglia as his consort.
At a low table set aside for refreshments and entertainment, he folds his legs under him and plants his palms in his lap, the picture of practised elegance were it not for the sly grin that splits his face and gives him the airs of a self-satisfied fox.
"I've heard my husband is a fierce tactician," Tartaglia says, curling his words into the shape of poisonous flowers. He tilts his head, and the fringe of his fire hair only half hides his mirth. "My enemies call me one, too. Care to join me for a game?"
His long, soot-tipped fingers skip over boundaries of twinkling nacre. He drums his tidied, manicured nails upon the lacquered sandbearer board before him, and Morax, for reasons unknown—reasons he will not ponder—goes to him as a moth does to flame.
Or, eight thousand words of one man seducing his husband.

Summary
Where Aventurine recovers post-Penacony, Ratio makes him hand-pulled noodles, and a forced confrontation with the past nearly breaks their new budding relationship.
"Don't tell me you've gone through my trash. Or hacked my car. Or—Amber Lord forbid—asked Jade about my habits."
Ratio's frown is, actually, somehow more terrifying than the implications. Five agonising seconds later, he replies, "Of course not. I would not commit a breach of privacy for something as inconsequential as noodles."
Whether it's the forced stillness of Ratio's loose curled fists or how he schools his expression into placid nothingness, it pricks some part of his sleeping instinct, barking out a warning. There are things unsaid lingering between syllables, tittering in the corners of sibilants, and it tells him Ratio does not lie, even when he is hiding the truth.

Summary
An unnamed former incarnation of Yinyue-jun visits the Xianzhou Yuque to read about the future of his lineage. There, his most trusted friend, successor of the Terrestrial Dragon, helps him face the end.
"Kungang-jun, there must be something wrong with me. Yinyue-jun will one day become the Luofu's greatest villain, yet this is not shame I feel," he takes a shuddering breath, eyes shut, teeth clenched. A hundred different thoughts flit between his ears, but it's clear what burns in his chest, seething in violet peals.
"It's rage."
Written for Hymn of the Dragon, an Imbibitor Lunae zine.

Summary
“Are you telling me,” Tony says slowly, “that from all the Gods who took over our cities – from all the Gods who’ve been using humans as fucktoys three months a year, I’ve landed the only one who flat-out doesn’t fuck?”
Great, now Loki looks amused. “Did you want to be my fucktoy?”
“What? No, you –“ Tony flushes bright red and then glares when Loki’s smirk widens. “Shut up, no, I don’t.”
(Narrator: He does.)

Summary
“So what if I ate the cheeseburger?” Tony shouts, throwing a wrench at Loki’s head. The bastard dodges it easily as he stalks closer. “That doesn’t mean I belong to you!”
“Oh, not to me,” Loki says lowly, a smile like honey slowly spreading its way across his face. “But with me? Surely you’ve heard of Persephone.”
“A cheeseburger isn’t some fucking mystical pomegranate, you smirking lunatic.” It isn’t, it just isn’t. Not even close. "You aren't even Greek!" he adds, throwing another wrench which is dodged just as easily.
Loki spreads his hands wide, posing like the showman he is. “I think you’ll find that a pomegranate symbolizes the fruit of the dead. Your cheeseburger, made of dead flesh, was topped with fruit. It’s close enough for the symbolism to bind.”
“Ah-hah! There’s no fucking fruit on a cheeseburger,” Tony says triumphantly, finger pointing accusingly at Loki. “I fucking win, no going back to crazy town with you. I stay here in my workshop, and you fucking leave before I call the Avengers.”
“Oh Stark,” Loki murmurs, almost affectionately. “A tomato is a berry, you ignorant fool.”

The Ostrich Strategy by NamelesslyNightlock

Summary
Loki’s plan for evading Odin is less a plan and more a series of increasingly ridiculous hiding places, almost all of which are apparently in Tony Stark’s mansion. Tony isn’t too happy with the Norse god that keeps showing up unannounced and destroying his living room, but he’s good at making the best out of a bad situation. Thor just wishes his brother would stay in one place for five minutes and all Steve wants is for Tony to stop flirting long enough to help save the world. In the end, they all get what they’re after– just perhaps not in the manner they had come to expect.

Summary
You may be wondering why I chose to write to you now, so many years later. It is simply because I have been thinking of you as of late. I spoke to a colleague some weeks ago, and the name Rex Lapis came up. I couldn't help but feel extremely sentimental in that moment. I remembered what it was like to have you as advisor and companion, always at my side as I toured Liyue and learned your nation's extensive history. In those days, I found myself so often turning to seek your opinion or hear your counsel on various manners, whether about Rex Lapis, or Liyue's cuisine, or the weather, or the state of my hair in that humid climate. And I confess, I asked you so often about my hair in hopes that you'd ruffle it, or brush a piece of it away from my eyes as I did to yours.
Years after the last Rite of Descension, Zhongli receives a letter.
