Himeko, gesturing to Trailblazer, Dan Heng and March 7th: These are my beautiful children. They're not very smart but they're all such good kind people with nothing but love in their hearts.

Yukong, gesturing to Tingyun and Qingni: These are my terrible daughters who I've had to bail out of jail five times each this month because Qingni keeps causing starskiff pileups and Tingyun likes to scam children. Despite this, they are my most important people and losing them would send me spiraling.

Natasha, giving a thousand yard stare while Seele, Sampo, Hook and Luka destroy Jarilo-VI behind her: These are the foul wretched screeching devils who have invaded my life with the intention to destroy everything they touch and refuse to give me a moment's peace. I. Love. Them.

One of the many touching companion stories from Honkai Star Rail.

OK but the Feixiao and Yukong opposite relationship with the Hunt thing? Fucking fantastique.

Yukong joined the war against the Abundance to touch the sky, flying starskiffs with Caiyi was her entire life. But then Lan's Lux arrow struck and while it did bring victory to the Xianzhou it couldn't help Caiyi and it also rendered her sacrifice meaningless. Yukong never flew again, her wings were clipped like the burning paper kite in her lightcone. The Hunt took her happiness and her will to fight.

Feixiao lived her life trapped at the mercy of the Borisin. She was trapped and chained to the ground, unable to truly be free no matter where she ran. But then Lan's Lux arrow struck and while it did bring great destruction where it touched the ground, it brought her freedom. It granted her literal wings and allowed her to soar amongst the stars on a Xianzhou ship. It gave her a will to fight and something to fight for. The Hunt gave her freedom and a cause to fight for.

Neither of them want to see another arrow strike again but they took opposite approaches to see it happen.

Yukong turned towards the ground and left the fighting behind to raise the fledgling Caiyi left behind, trying to keep her caged despite a bird's natural instincts to fly, all in hopes neither of them would ever see a shooting star again.

Feixiao turned towards the sky, embracing the fight and her own wolf instincts to fight in order to destroy the wolves who made her this way, setting herself free of the cage in hopes that her fighting would mean a star would never have to be shot again.

Yukong: You read my diary? Qingni: At first I did not know it was your diary. I thought it was a very sad handwritten book.

im doing yukong's companion mission and mannnn the dialogue between welt and caelus when they rescued qingni reminded me that when welt went on that weird mission with void archives he got separated with joyce after the train scene in apho and hasn't seen him since that time which was. a really long time ago

OKAY so confession. all the feixiao stuff dredged up some of my old yukong thoughts so i'd like to ramble abt them here, actually (also partially inspired by my own hsr sona concepts! though i have not yet done the newest tb quests so please feel free to add any thoughts relating to them <3)

said thoughts being about the simple domesticity of being yukong's retainer. sure, a retired pilot and the damn helm master of the luofu may not have any particular need for protection (she's very much capable of defending herself, no doubt), but perhaps it's less of the protection and more of the company that drew the both of you together. aside from being well-versed in combat—easily leaping into the fray at the first sign of trouble, the diligent guard that you are—you also look after yukong in and out of the office, which is where you find yourself spending most of your time.

bringing tea to yukong's desk, gentle reminders to the foxian to take breaks despite knowing yukong rarely complies—perhaps yukong didn't take too well to you at first, a denial of her desire for a more steadfast companion that isn't just the rest of those she leaves tasks to. perhaps your fortuitous appearance is more than just coincidence, too? (and may have to do with a certain foxian daughter...)

either way, the longer you spend at yukong's side, offering a helping hand that at times even extends to paperwork, she finds herself growing oddly fond of you and your presence. even in the silence, knowing that there's someone to share the space becomes something precious to the grandma helm master: a reminder to take things slow.

long walks, tea times, reminiscing, even the occasional family dinner that you've come to be a part of, with qingni doling out tease after tease that you've since become less of a retainer and more of a wife—just the little things that make every moment worth living for. just a little more.

(p.s. absolutely agreeing with yukong being more on the lovemaking side. <3 as a bonus, stress relief is definitely something you'd help yukong out with, in more ways than just a massage... :3c)

“so, i hear you’ve made a new… friend, shall we say?”

yukong’s tail flicks sharply at the tone of feixiao’s voice, lilting and light and teasing. she can feel the other foxian’s eyes boring into the side of her head as she takes a long, slow sip of tea from her cup, before setting it down on the table with a clink.

“i have recently hired a retainer, yes,” she confirms, and those teal eyes sitting across from her glitter with interest. feixiao has her chin resting on her fist, while her other hand curls around her own cup.

“you make it sound so formal,” the general remarks with a chuckle. “a little kit describes it as a much more domestic arrangement to me.”

“qingni,” yukong mutters, pinching the bridge of her nose. her tail swishes again, harder this time, with an edge of embarassment and irritation. feixiao laughs quietly at that, swirling her tea around in the tiny cup.

“relax, she means well. it is good to hear you are, hm… happy?”

feixiao’s tone leaves the question open ended, and yukong pauses. it’s an opportunity, she knows—to refute that statement, to insist on a veneer of professionalism. but then she thinks of you, of your softspoken words, of warm tea on her desk, of late night walks and late night talks, and of companionship; and she finds that she can’t deny it at all.

“yes,” she agrees softly, the corner of her lips tugging upwards in a fond smile. “i am happy.”

for the longest time, the ground never felt right under her feet. she was born for the skies, to soar and pierce through the clouds like a shooting star. to be grounded felt like to be imprisoned. but with you—with you, she feels light again. like the earth is now made of downy clouds, and the weight on her shoulders has dissipated like mist. her heart no longer knows the difference between the wind in her hair and your hand running through it in the night.

with you, she is happy.

(feixiao, of course, teases her relentlessly about this confession. it’s only when yukong threatens to expose every ridiculous thing the other foxian has done while blackout drunk to their partner that feixiao shuts up.)
