Perhaps A Perfect Gift Does Not Exist

“Are you ready to mull over some ideas?” Ratchet hides his hands behind his back as he looks around. 

“Yes, I was actually in the process of preparation already.” Drift invites him to sit down. He pulls out his tablet, showing Ratchet pictures of a few custom made blades. “A ceremonial weapon is always a nice gesture, isn’t it?” Drift looks up at Ratchet searching for an answer in his eyes as he desperately tries to fish out ideas, not knowing he is giving Ratchet what he was looking for.

“That sounds like something you would like,” Ratchet ponders, before quickly continuing. “What I meant to say, it would be a gift that would speak loud about your appreciation to your recipient.”

Drift nods, smiling to himself as he notes something in his notepad. “That is true,” he leans on the table, resting his chin on his hand. “Have you thought about what you would want to give?”

A fic for a @dratchet-exchange for Mandy (_strawberrygore_ on Discord) following her prompt about Rodimus setting up a Secret Santa game aboard Lost Light. Everyone, please enjoy some holiday foolishness to start off 2026 (/^-^)/🎁✨

Merry @drunktwinkevents !! I am happy to finally post my assignment for our lovely @saustars !

Prompt 2: Venti performing in other lands of Teyvat, perhaps making new friends along the way

I chose only 1 prompt cuz I had too big of an idea for the limited time while forgetting my skill level and I had to choose the people he'd meet via a randomiser wheel thing - BUT! our dearest bard met Tartaglia in Liyue (pardon the poor background on that one I remembered last minute I haven't made the background for it), and met Nilou and some Aranaras in Sumeru :)

Merry late Christmas and a Happy New Year!

My Body, Your Mind

The tightropes they walked allowed for a never-ending shift of balance between Aventurine and Dr. Ratio. There were instances where the doctor was a few steps ahead, and there were times when the gambler took over him. Where one failed, the other succeeded. 

As the hot water slowly filled the tub, it was time to fill it with aromatics. The doctor reached for a shelf full of bath supplies. The handwriting on the labels indicated there was a pitcher full of milk, great for softening the skin after a hard day of work; a bottle of honey, its healing properties and sweet fragrance nourished body and teased nose; a few miniature vials of herbal concentrates, great for stimulating nervous system and calming the mind. Each bottle held great value in the eyes of Dr. Ratio, so he slowly allowed the water to absorb most of the contents of the shelf. Then, at the end of it, he saw a wooden box. It was full of rose petals. The silky texture was pleasant to touch, yet the doctor failed to find a logical reason for their use. It would have been different be it rose oil or water, but the delicate petals were a mere decoration, distracting to an ever-racing mind. 

He put the box aside. After folding his robe and setting it on the chair in the corner of the room, Dr. Ratio finally submerged himself in the milk-white water. The warmth slowly lulled him into a meditative state and he allowed for his mind to wander. He mused the things of lesser importance, as well as the questions that carried heavy weight with them. His eyes again and again landed on the letter with golden engraving while his heart skipped the faint beat. But time after time Dr. Ratio brushed it off, afraid to step into the dark waters of what ifs.

Destinies and Destinations

There are many things that tickle the ever-curious spirit of the old Lord Barbatos, yet many of them are out of reach. Still, in his Venti persona he is able to traverse the lands of Teyvat like any other traveler seeking a grand adventure of their own.

Venti’s adventures are more about the friendships he finds along the way, the smiles he puts on people’s faces with his music and the comforted hearts that he lulls to sleep once his fingers hit the lyre. The gentle breeze carries him along roads smooth and rocky, narrow and wide, through deserts and forests alike.

“Everyone deserves to experience art,” he tells one old stranded stranger in Liyue. “I will play and sing for you.” He doesn’t tell him that he sprinkles in something else between the lines of the lyrics, revitalising his spirit to carry on along the road.

Brainstorm and Perceptor taking a little tour through space & time, a fic

✦︎ I am so happy to finally share my submission for Transformers Big Bang 2025!! with beautiful art from my partner @serial02721 ✦︎

ᯓ★ hosted by @tf-bigbang snippet: “Both of you?” Rodimus looked at the letter on his table, slowly redirecting his gaze towards the two bots standing in front of him. “Are you guys eloping?” He read through the letter again. “Because to me it looks like that.”

“Captain, there is a moment in every scientist’s life when you just have to take a break to work on your passion projects,” Brainstorm sat at the corner of Rodimus’ table. “And this is the moment for us.”

“Us?” Rodimus glanced over to Perceptor. “Is it true? Are you also being swallowed by the spirit of science?”

“Always,” Perceptor coughed. “I mean, it is as much my project as Brainstorm’s.”

Dragonspine

The snowy peak hidden behind the thick snow storm clouds tempted many travelers, Bennett wasn’t an exception. He was excited to go on a trip to the Dragonspine, enthusiasm bursting at the seams of his barely contained smile. 

“Chongyun, look, isn’t she a beauty?” He gazed at the mountain and then at his companion. His breath dissipated in the cold air, “I wonder what treasures we can find along the way.”

Chongyun had his reasons to come along on this journey, some of them were self-indulgent, others self-righteous. The snow slowly accumulated on his shoulders, giving him a white puffy coat. The pleasant texture was cooling his senses. This place was full of tranquility that was hard to find within the walls of a busy city.

But where the silence brooded, the spirits persisted. They howled together with the freezing winds of the mountain, calling out to every passerby.

Bennett ignored the eeriness, focused on paving the path for them along the steep edge. “Be careful here,” he said, slipping slightly on the frozen rock. Chongyun was there to catch him by his arm, helping Bennett maintain the footing.

“You be careful,” he shook his head, squeezing his partner’s arm. “Maybe we should use the ropes,” he searched his bag for a thin but secure strapping. Before any objections could be made, Chongyun tightened it around his waist and moved closer to wrap it around Bennett. “Now if we fall, we fall together.”

“Ah, you don’t have to do that,” Bennett scratched his head in embarrassment. “I will be more careful, I swear.”

“Yes, because now you have no choice,” Chongyun shook the connecting rope between them. “If you die, I die.”

“No one is dying!” Bennett twisted in spot, facing away from his companion. He briefly stood on one leg, regaining the balance once again, before carrying on along the path.

The Things That Couldn't Die

A submission for Alberose Mini Bang 2025 featuring art from Kynovember & @serial02721 Pairing: Albedo x Sucrose (Alberose) Word count: 7k Rating: Mature (mentions and descriptions of dead bodies, attempted murder, asphyxiation) AO3 link a comedy-horror little silly story of two alchemists in a tricky situation ✦ Albedo quietly watched from the room entrance. He put the neatly folded fresh sheets in the corner of the bed, unsure on how to proceed next. He felt conflicted. One part of him wished to comfort Sucrose at that moment, while the other kept calculating every step they had to take to ensure their alibis.

But Albedo wasn’t known to lose, he wished to win every battle that life presented to him. And so he climbed on bed, laid down in the nook of Sucrose’s knees and stayed until her breath and heartbeat were steady.

Once she was asleep, he sneaked out, giving her a kiss on the forehead for goodbye.

“Don’t worry about anything,” he whispered to her before disappearing in the dark hallway.

Sucrose heard the apartment's lock, but her dreams, or rather nightmares, held her tight in its clutches.
