Summary
Months after stepping down as Fontaine's Archon, Furina lives in quiet obscurity—tucked away in a dim apartment with nothing but instant macaroni and old regrets. The city has moved on. Her role has ended. But there are still those who remember her not as a god, but as a girl worth caring for.
When Lumine notices Furina’s declining state, she asks someone who once served her—Chef Escoffier—to deliver more than just a meal. What begins as a simple dish becomes something far more intimate: a quiet act of remembrance, comfort, and care.
Because sometimes, the gentlest way to say “you’re still someone”... is through food.

Summary
Sandrone built herself on logic, pride, and emotional restraint.
Pregnancy immediately destroys all three.
Through all morning sickness, territorial behavior over fruits and the first undeniable kick of their baby, Sandrone finds herself leaning on Columbina more than she ever intended.
Columbina, of course, finds the entire situation adorable.

Summary
Columbina sees her for the first time at a gallery on a Tuesday. She is scowling at a painting and Columbina forgets what she came for.
That is the beginning of everything.
Years later they are married, expecting a daughter, and life is cookie dough at six in the morning and a nursery mural with a tiny hidden door painted in it for their baby to find someday. It is a painter who pretends she does not need anyone and a pianist who has known from the start that this is not true. It is a father who drives forty minutes for the right pastry. It is a baby named Aurélie who arrives and makes the whole world larger.
Sandrone loves the way she does everything, completely and without making a fuss about it. Columbina has been paying attention since that first Tuesday and she does not plan to stop.
In short, a family fic.

Summary
Sandrone retells the story she has explained thrice by now; the backup plan in Fontaine, the blueprints updated after her interactions with the Wanderer, Master Albedo, and the witches of the Hexenzirkel, the important nature of her core, and all the instructions a robot can give to be rebuilt over and over again if needed. Lauma listens, and listens, and the sun setting behind her gives the warmth in her eyes a certain spark that makes Sandrone feel as if she could remotely understand what dying and reviving by her own hand feels like.
“It pleases me to hear of your success,” Lauma says, when Sandrone runs out of things to explain. “Nod-Krai welcomes you back again, for as long as you may need. Though I suppose you came here with a goal in mind?”
In the aftermath of her rebirth, with Columbina dragging her along into a mission to get Lauma and Nefer to fix whatever is keeping them apart, Sandrone finds that what comes after death and learning to live again is an odd thing indeed.

Summary
The fight with Dottore went as badly as Sandrone feared. She'd had plans laid that she'd hoped would work in her absense, but none of them involved this. The instant she died, she awoke ten years earlier, in the middle of a tea party with her lost friends. She has no idea what's caused this, or even if it's real, but she has ten years to save the woman she loves and her best friends.

Summary
But if there are things she absolutely hates--it's invading her privacy, trampling her pride, and keeping her in the dark.
Unfortunately, the situation presented before her happens to be a perfect blend of exactly that.
"I'm getting a what?!"
The dorm manager winces, but at least has the decency to repeat, "A roommate, yes."
OR
Sandrone is used to being alone, and has done everything to keep it that way. Things get a whole lot worse (better, better, better) when Columbina arrives.

"You've always been a fascinating character, and I've always been..." Castorice gestures vaguely, uncertain. "...Like this."
"Untouchable," Cipher offers, "in more ways than one."

Summary
The ticket came in on Monday at 9:13 AM before Sandrone even had the chance to take a single sip of her freshly-steeped tea, and in retrospect, that was where things all started to go wrong.
Hello. I am having difficulty with my laptop, the ticket read. The little pointer that I click things with has stopped moving.
Sent from my Dodo Phone
With a long-suffering sigh, Sandrone typed, Have you tried turning it off and on, and pressed send.

Summary
You don't get to give goodbye hugs," Sandrone hisses once the shadows close around them and the music from the festival grows muffled. Her voice trembles with rage and something more complicated—she isn't sure what.
Columbina's expression shifts slightly. She looks… confused. As she so often does. Like a quiet little dove lost in the world’s noise. That blank look and gentle smile used to drive Sandrone insane. They still do. A face that sees nothing and everything at once.
"You don't get to do that."
Where, after that hug, Sandrone decides to run after Columbina.

A desire close to the heart by Anonymous

Summary
There were very few things that were certain in life.
One was that the sun rose every morning, no matter what one may want or say. Another was that life existed for desire, ran on it, and died from it. A third was that after every New Moon, came the Waxing, the Full, the Waning and then the New again, in a never ending cycle that never broke. Some said that the influence of the Moon was a blessing, while others considered it a curse… For her, however, it was but a tool to be used, just like everything else that life threw at her.
Maybe it had been thinking in such a way that had led her to where she was now. Lying in a pool of crimson blood that covered the once white tiles of marble from the ballroom of the manor, unable to move nor willing to do so.

Summary
“You’d spoil your children rotten.”
Columbina laughed, light and musical. “And you’d make an excellent co-parent. You’d fix their toys and tell them bedtime stories full of formulas.”
“I would not.”
“You would,” she teased, flicking a dot of blue paint onto Sandrone’s cheekplate. “And you’d pretend you didn’t enjoy it.”
The Kuuhenkis swirled around them then, each glowing a different hue due to the paint dyes — blue, gold, rose, and green — forming a halo that painted their faces in color. Columbina leaned back, eyes still closed– Sandrone missed seeing her eyes, but she did not say this outloud but there was one unforgettable thing about her former colleague, her expression was always serene.
“This,” she whispered, “is what it must feel like to be human. To make a mess, and call it love.”
Sandrone looked at Columbina for a long time, a small smile tugging on the corner of her lips — then quietly returned to cleaning the last jar of dye, her movements slower now, gentler. And when a Kuuhenki clumsily dropped a droplet of color onto her metal palm, she didn’t flinch this time. She let it stain.

Summary
Columbina had left. She had left just as suddenly and forcefully as she had first inserted herself uninvited into Sandrone’s life. Still, when the Palestar Edict came from above, Sandrone could not help herself. She was going to Nod-Krai.
Or: Sandrone and Columbina disastrously fail at feelings and communication (but somehow things still work out).

Summary
Jahoda claims she doesn't visit for the food. Ineffa thinks that's statistically improbable.
Or, Jahoda makes Ineffa inefficient, and she welcomes it with open arms.
Because saying "I love you" is just a very complicated way of saying "you make my probability matrices go haywire, and I wouldn't have it any other way".

Summary
On an atypical night of studying, Sandrone realizes that Columbina's silence is louder and more disturbing than hearing her constantly singing. Tempted to investigate, Sandrone discovers the reason for Columbina's silence when she enters the room next door.
