First day at Paperfold University!

Happy Birthday, Cyno!

Tighnari told me that, since it's my birthday, I ought to relax. Put my work and station aside, let my emotions settle, and all that.

...I only remembered what he said after I finished escorting some fugitives back to the Akademiya.

But it just so happens that I'm about to bring this injured little desert fox back to the desert...

It seems as good a time as any for me to finally "fur"-get my worries, and go on a different kind of "paw"-trol.

White Iron Forged the Body, Crimson Heart Cast the Soul

"First, you must acknowledge that Ineffa is the very best robot in the world! Then, you need to respect Ineffa's opinions and decisions. Also, you have to accept that the Clink-Clank Kr... no, that's not right... Accept that Ineffa has the final say in everything she does!"

— Aino, in "Ineffa's External Deployment and Support Agreement"

"...It's been several years since she left — I wonder if she's still following her own path. Did Mother feel the same way when I left on my journey, all those years ago...?"

— Unknown author, from an ancient journal unearthed in Natlan

◆ Name: Ineffa

◆ Title: Boom Boom Thunderwave

◆ Multifunctional Robot for Domestic Application

◆ ???: Electro

◆ Constellation: Vanilla Planifolia

Throughout Teyvat's history, humankind has made many attempts to mimic the complex workings of life using mechanisms and gears.

Giants forged of steel carved out the lands of Khaenri'ah, while the Lord-Artificer ushered in a new age with clockwork contraptions.

Perhaps through the eyes of some maniacs, humans themselves are no more than machines built of bone and flesh.

If we turn our gaze to creators outside humanity, if the boundaries are drawn at creations beyond mere machinery...

Gods walked into the Primordial Sea, and sinners cast themselves into the Abyss, while the ancient king of dragons engraved mind and soul into Phlogiston.

Maybe it was done out of compassion or ambition. Perhaps even the pursuit of eternal sovereignty, or a desire to rebel against fate.

...

Compared to that supreme wisdom and power, this workshop is naught but a patchwork paradise, cobbled together by a lonely child.

Compared to that magnificent destiny and design, Ineffa was created as the vessel for no such lofty expectations.

— At least, on the eve of her reactivation, her purpose is simple: to serve as a companion.

Day 6 of StelleFly Week 2025: Media Crossover!

The Astral Express ends up in Gensokyo. Tea and polite conversation is had while Firefly has a series of oddly apt symbolic encounters.

I filled in my missing day 2 of Stellefly Week 2025 with a tiny story on "Secrets," inspired by the 3.4 trailer.

A fix-it was written about my fic in under 3 hours after posting and I wholly approve

It's not too late by Evelyn_Xeamyyy

Day 5 of Stellefly Week 2025 is a standalone short on the theme of "Regrets." It's pretty miserable, but also my personal favorite of the week. Just note the tags.
