Aqua Regia | Chapter 34 | #wriolette #neuvithesley | Rated E | 7.2k

After his impressive feat of stopping an avalanche during War Games, Professor Xianyun's interest in pushing Wriothesley's signet to the limit reignites.

archiveofourown.org/works/619246...
Aqua Regia Chapter 34, preview text: Professor Xianyun pauses for a long moment, and then confirms, more to herself than to him, that his ‘mind’s eye is blind’. “I’ve never had a student with this kind of affliction before,” she says. Affliction – it’s not the word he would have used for it. It implies that there’s something wrong with him for functioning this way.

Aqua Regia | Chapter 34 Snippet | #wriolette #neuvithesley

After almost killing Wriothesley, Clorinde and Aether step in for damage control with Navia.

Chapter release date: 28 November
Aqua Regia, Chapter 34 snippet text: “Navia, don’t touch him,” Clorinde orders over the shouting and sobbing. “Don’t touch anyone.” “He’s not dead.” Aether’s voice is much closer and finally, Wriothesley feels two tentative hands on his back, rolling him over.

Aqua Regia | Chapter 33 | #wriolette #neuvithesley | Rated E | 7.1k

The first part of the infamous War Games begins, forcing Wriothesley to make nice with enemies and pick fights with friends.

archiveofourown.org/works/619246...
Aqua Regia, chapter 33 preview text: Without any idea of what it might do, he locks in on the turquoise dragon headed straight for them, power flooding through him, heating his skin to a near unbearable temperature against the freezing air around him. “Ease up!” Neuvillette warns in a panic. Before he can even process Neuvillette’s words, he flings his arms forward, directing the surge of magic toward a single point in front of him. Thousands upon thousands of tiny, glimmering ice shards flood toward the turquoise dragon ahead with terrifying speed.

Aqua Regia | Chapter 33 Snippet | #wriolette #neuvithesley

The season of deadly war games is upon them and Wriothesley is left to the mercy of other's decisions - especially if they are stupid ones.

Chapter release date: 21 November
Aqua Regia, chapter 33 snippet text: A small, fluttering spec of red falls from the blue scorpiontail, toward a blue clubtail below that Wriothesley is all too familiar with. The scorpiontail turns sharply to avoid thwacking into the mountain, though it strikes a hefty buildup of snow. A cascade of white, intermixed with loose boulders tumbles down the mountainside and – shit. “FREMINET!” Wriothesley shouts although he knows he is too far away for his friend to hear. Only just having caught the flag, the avalanche above Freminet comes tumbling right toward him and Frost Fang – there’s no stopping them from flying right into it.

Wriothesley is starting to get the feeling something is not right about how protective Meropide is of its Archives. Meanwhile, Neuvillette begins to speak about his past.

archiveofourown.org/works/619246...
Aqua Regia. Chapter 32 preview text: He licks a fresh sheen of sweat from Neuvillette’s skin and bites down on the juncture between his neck and shoulder with rose tinted affection. It won’t break the skin but will leave a purple bruise against the porcelain flesh. “Mine,” he growls as some insane part of him wishes to claim Neuvillette in the same way the Sovereign has claimed him.

For @spideysguk.bsky.social

Aether returns to Mondstadt after an ominous letter. His path crosses with Albedo at Dragonspine, finding himself wrapped up in a dark experiment and the aching touch of the alchemist.

The Morning Star. Snippet text: “Paimon doesn’t mean to be rude,” the little moon interrupts, doing absolutely nothing to mask her displeasure. “But that sounds very ominous… and scary.” “It’s okay Paimon. Albedo wouldn’t ask me to do anything dangerous.” His gaze shifts from Paimon to the Alchemist, glare hardening like tempered steel. “Would he?” Calm and blank-faced as ever Albedo reassures him. “Of course not.”

Aqua Regia | Chapter 32 Snippet | #wriolette #neuvithesley

Neuvillette talks about his first rider.

Chapter release date: 14 November
Aqua Regia Chapter 32 Snippet Text: “Lie down.” The order comes is spoken with such startling clarity that it sends a jolt through Wriothesley’s body. His fingers become stiff and cold with the accidental use of his signet and Neuvillette shifts uncomfortably with the change in temperature. “I will tell you about him once, and you will not ask again.”

Trying to train a freshly manifested signet is ill-advised, especially when the rider has been at it all night long. Professor Xianyun is terribly unhappy about it. Wriothesley is... distracted.

Aqua Regia | Chapter 31 Snippet | #wriolette #neuvithesley

With a freshly manifested signet, Wriothesley learns just how difficult it is to control that much power.

Chapter release date: 7 November
Aqua Regia Chapter 31 Snippet Text: “There is a reason I only teach Dragon Studies, Flight Class and Physics,” Neuvillette tuts quietly. Even his frustration weighs on Wriothesley whilst watching him in the corner of his mind. “The reason isn’t immediately obvious to me,” he grumbles back. “You seem perfectly in control of your own signet… thing.” “I cannot teach what is innate.”

With the bond finally open, Wriothesley experiences Neuvillette like he never has before. With Reunification Day well and truly forgotten, some midnight magic might do them some good.

Aqua Regia | Chapter 30 Snippet | #wriolette #neuvithesley

Well... happy birthday to me. Wriothesley and Neuvillette finally find a way to break the tension between them.

Chapter release date: Friday 31 October
Aqua Regia, Chapter 30 Snippet Text: Wriothesley’s insides pull tight in anticipation, but at the last moment, Neuvillette misses his lips and instead presses his cheek against his temple. Warm breath tickles the shell of Wriothesley’s ear, and he shudders, growing hard as gooseflesh ripples across his bare skin. “Show me how your human stamina compares to that of a dragon’s.”

After Neuvillette's disappearance, Wriothesley struggles with returning home. It's not until a moment of extreme vulnerability that he is pushed into the right direction to start healing.

Absolution Epilogue Preview Text: “Sigewinne,” Jessica begins, placing a palm on the small of her daughter’s back. “You remember your father, don’t you?” It’s as if speaking the words into existence spark recognition in her eyes. Quickly, her attention narrows on Wriothesley, eyes flickering as she attempts to piece the puzzle together. As it all comes to her, emotions war behind her eyes, not knowing how to process the anger from his abandonment of her, the years spent in relentless sadness and yearning for the father that promised to protect her with his life. In this moment, she is nothing but a small boat trapped within a raging sea, pulled between two opposing currents.

The Reunification Day ball is upon us and tensions are running high. Meanwhile, Wriothesley's final thread is about to snap.

archiveofourown.org/works/619246...
Aqua Regia Chapter 29 Preview Text: “Then why,” Wriothesley asks, stepping forward to take Neuvillette’s ice cold hands in his own. They meet eyes. It makes his chest feel tight, like it’s closing in around nothing. “Why did you choose me knowing that you will never be willing to let me in? Why would you do this knowing that it’s not going to be you tearing me apart this time, that the build-up of magic will kill me instead when my signet doesn’t manifest in time?”

Absolution | Epilogue Snippet | #wriolette #neuvithesley

The final installment. Following the burning of EDEN and Neuvillette's disappearance, Wriothesley breaks a promise and reaches out to someone he isn't supposed to.

Chapter release date: Saturday 25 October
Absolution Epilogue Snippet Text: How can he explain what he went through all those months ago? That it changed him so thoroughly, he could never find his way back to himself again. “I want to see her,” he whispers, forehead pressed against the cool surface of the booth. “Just one last time.” It’s all he wants before he finally decides to finish that conversation between himself and the cool steel pressed against his jaw.

The Reunification Day gala is here, full of glamour, pomp and circumstance. It's something Wriothesley merely tolerates, but perhaps a certain someone can make it worthwhile.

Chapter release date: Friday 24 October
Aqua Regia Chapter 29 Snippet Text: Descending the stairs the King had not moments ago, Wriothesley’s gaze is met with the pearly glimmer of Neuvillette’s eyes and by the gods does all the breath leave his lungs, leaving him only a shell of himself. In a world without gods for him to place his faith in, Wriothesley knows exactly where his worship should be directed. He’s ready for vigil on his knees. “Don’t stare,” Neuvillette requests, flashing a coy smile.

Being taken advantage of for one's entire life undoubtedly leaves behind a warped view of relationships.

Meanwhile, Wriothesley finally shares a secret with Navia.

Aqua Regia Chapter 28 Preview Text: “You save my ass and slay my enemies when I’m in need. I bring you dinner and warmth when you’re in need,” Wriothesley shrugs casually. “I think we’re even.” It’s transactional. He’s sure that’s what friendship is supposed to be. Neuvillette doesn’t respond, but Wriothesley can feel him bite his tongue and shift away in defeat.

When the battle tide turns, Wriothesley has no choice but to turn his back on a fight he has won dozens of times from the ground.

Chapter release date: Friday 17 October
Aqua Regia Chapter 28 Snippet Text: “What are you doing? Go back!” Wriothesley urges, turning backward only to find a wall of cloud behind him, shimmering from the early moments of sunrise. “We have to help them.” The mountains begin to shrink into the distance as the wind batters the back of his head. He can’t see Sigewinne anywhere yet, she could be lost in the fog – or a gryphon— “You are not ready,” Neuvillette grunts with finality.

The truth rears its ugly head for Wriothesley and Neuvillette, threatening to shatter the fragile foundations they've built. Setting fire to it all seems to be the only path to freedom.

Absolution Chapter 3 Preview Text: “Did she die? The little girl – or her mother? Is that why you were sent to prison? Because you’re the reason she’s dead and you’re afraid of telling me.” Wriothesley just about slams his foot down on the breaks in the middle of the highway. Instead, he pulls over, jarringly fast at the first safe point he can see and tugs up the parking brake so hard it makes a noise he’s never heard from it before. “Fuck you for even saying that to me,” he grits out, tight jawed.
