@thecinderninja.bsky.social

Here's my Dahlia piece for #mondstadtminizine !!!
I've been working on this idea for a long time now and I'm so excited to finally share it.

🦇 First piece of my #VampireDahlia AU
🩷 Eventual #venlia
🦇 Featuring Vennessa and the aristocracy era

Find the free zine at @genshinminizine.bsky.social

Vennessa, Venti, Dahlia, Kreuzlied, & Ragnvindr. Vampire Dahlia. Eventual Venlia. Fic title: Little Boy in the Garden.

Summary: He finds a pale face. Eyes closed, youthful and frozen at barely-twenty, with hair the same shade as the dahlias. Iron binds his chest, arms, and legs. Tacks driven through his hands pin the boy to the soil.

Venti's world shifts violently.

How could anyone do this to another being?

The cold of Dragonspine, the smell of dying embers. His warm breath ghosting in the air. The scent of wax and paper.

The cold eyes of Rosaria staring down at him.

"Get up." Her voice is hard-edged and colder than the mountain air. Something about it rings dull, like the edge of a dagger dulled by too much use.

Her presence is an anomaly. He sits up slowly, eyeing her as he does so. Her hands are empty, she does not hold a weapon, but her eyes burn into him with intensity. "You are going to destroy Mondstadt."

"Oh, wait. Do you know?"

Rosaria frowns. "Know what?"

"You know. Know."

Rosaria squints at him. "No, I don't know? What am I supposed to know? I mean, I probably do know, but how am I supposed to know if I know if you won't tell me what I'm supposed to know?"

"No, no. You would know. There's only one big thing, so you would know."

Rosaria smirks. "Oh, you think there's only one big thing? So you don't know."

Kaeya freezes. "Wait. What don't I know?"

Fiction Sample:

I remember being small, sitting on Mother’s knee while she told me, in hushed undertones, stories of the outside world. I never knew such a place could exist.

Mother was always tired. She always had this faraway look in her eyes. She was quiet when they argued, and quiet when he hit her. She was especially quiet when she taught me how to read, showing me how to fold the books with illustrations into the pages of thicker tomes.

We didn’t speak of the outside world anywhere the wind could hear us.

I could see how he treated her, and how she feared him. I could see how he would bruise her, and how she would let it happen. I knew it made me unhappy, but I never understood why. Not until the first time it happened to me. Once I learned what ‘pain’ and ‘fear’ were, I began to see them everywhere. Inside our home and beyond it —the world was filled with suffering, and at the heart of all of it: my father.

I won’t say I ever loved him before then, but I never hated him either. I never fully knew what those things were; emotion wasn’t part of my childhood curriculum.

Now I had learned what it meant when he hit her, and I could not tolerate it any longer.

Fiction SampleThe house is hollow, and I’m the thing rattling around inside it. This place is too big
for the people left behind, but too small for me. I can’t move without brushing against
memories.

My sister is still crying in her room. Every instinct I have screams to stay, to do
something, but what’s the point? I’ve already hurt her more than I ever did in life.
Mom and Dad were right—ghosts are no comfort.

I leave her there and drift into the kitchen. It’s empty, dark but for the faint green
glow from the stove clock. The hum of the refrigerator fills the space, steady and
indifferent, the sound of life continuing without me, underscored by the air
conditioner kicking on.

This house was a living thing once, but now it feels almost as dead as I am.

I know that it’s selfish to stay, but I don’t want to leave.

The hum of the refrigerator. The creak of brick and beam. Their mercurial grief
flooding the house with quicksilver.

I don’t want to leave.

Poetry Sample

springtime doesn’t know the world is ending
addiction, poverty, homelessness epidemic
we forgot to tell the birds not to sing
a moment of silence for the people dying in the streets
riots, police brutality, prison industrial complex
we forgot to tell the flowers to hold their peace
not to bloom in the face of our collective grief
we are the weeds breaking through the asphalt
with our faces towards the sun

She isn't sure what she has been expecting, honestly, but certainly something a bit grander, surely. Someone a touch more impressive. Not some tiny, baby-faced bard who looks more human than she does.

Although, she knows full well that her idea of what an Archon must be is meaningless. For in her mind, it had all come down to spectacle, hadn't it?

The irony that only in becoming human does she finally resemble an Archon is not lost on her.

"Come on, let me show you Mondstadt!"

Fic excerpt over a frozen, winter background. The text reads: Why rebel against a leader who provides his people with everything they could possibly need?

Cecil gives Decarabian the very same empowered speech he gave his fellow Mondstadters. He speaks of the sky, the sea, the deserts and rainforests and mountains and beaches. Birds, rain, the sun, and the freedom to choose.

Decarabian is not moved, but he ponders the boy's words.

"This is what you seek? This is your wish? The thing you cannot be content without? This is the one thing that your benevolent god cannot provide you? Well, why did you not just say so?"
