Aether has been in Inazuma for quite some time now and, for the first time, he gets to experience the Obon Festival.
He'll find himself with Kazuha, not chatting much, just enjoying each other presence, mourning in silence their loved one.
Words count: 839
This is a really short story, a little sad, quiet.
For those who don't know, Obon is a Japanese festival in which they celebrate the dead. Also, I got this idea while studying because I read about the usance they talk about. I guess Kazuha is from Osaka now.
I first wrote this in Italian and spent a couple of hours translating it with the help of Grammarly. I did the best that I could and hope it's enjoyable at the least.
The haiku at the end does exist and is from Atsujin

The Memory Keeper (Naruto Fanfic)
The bandages that covered his face in life have fallen away, all incinerated and hanging loosely around his neck. His face is completely destroyed. Unrecognizable. The skin covering his face is no longer there, all having melted away. His blood vessels have all burst, his nerves have fried along with the majority of his muscles. His jaw opens and closes a little bit. His eyes bore into me. They're large and round and completely accusing. His teeth are covered in bits of burnt muscle. I feel my heart thudding in my chest. He steps closer, closer. His bone gleams in the dim light. As he closes in on me, a pounding noise begins ringing through my ears. My heart beat- ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum. It looked like he had been tossed into a fryer, fried alive, and he had been. By me. I did this to someone. I killed someone's team mate, someone's son. I killed someone's important person. -- Kimiko Kioku, a memory keeper. Never forgets anything, always notices, from the exact way the wind blew her hair against her face to coloring with her brother at five to the lullaby her mother would sing to her as she rocked her when she was not even a year old. She remembers. She remembers the blood, the glassy, clouded over eyes her brother had as he said his last words. She remembers the very first person she killed. She remembers how abandoned she feels, and how everything always feels like it's falling apart at the seams. (Can you say 'worst summary ever to exist'? Okay, maybe not that bad. But still pretty bad.)Complete

Waves Touching Clouds (Kamisato Ayato x Reader)
"Apologize," he said seriously as he leaned on his table while his arms are folding on his chest. "I'm fucking sorry." "LANGUAGE." "...motherfucker-" you whispered. You always wanted to travel and explore Teyvat but your strict parent won't let you go out. As soon as your mother got engaged with the head of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, she let you out freely for the first time. You were supposed to go to Inazuma first with Thoma but unfortunately, you were robbed so you were stuck in Inazuma and you became one of the maids in Kamisato Estate. They are not aware that you were the first daughter of the Feiyun Commerce Guild, even your close friend, Thoma. (This fanfic is written before Kamisato Ayato's official release on the game) I do not own Genshin Impact and their characters. This is an Ayato x Fem Reader fanfic, to be specific. (This fic is mainly enemies to lovers trope) A ship mention: EulAmber, ThomAyaka - If you're uncomfortable, please drop the fic. TW: mention of foul words/ mocking of stutters, and cringe af srry I'm not confident with this fic Started: Feb. 19, 2022 (?) Ended: May 2, 2022Complete

Y/N was always scared of thunder. Fleeing from Inazuma was the right choice, he believed in that. Even so, he looked back at the ocean, with thoughts ingrained into his mind. "Can I really stay like this?" He mumbled to himself, as he pointed his own cold blade towards the distant lands. He had fled from his own homeland, and took refuge in another land, falling in love and making a place for himself. Yet his past never would leave him be, would it? "Hm.

- "𝒀𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒚 𝒅𝒓𝒖𝒎 𝒌𝒊𝒕" - - (Y/N) never expected to find herself in the spotlight, let alone in a band with four of Inazuma's most unexpected teens. Between late-night rehearsals, intense practice sessions, and the pressure of performing on stage, (Y/N) finds herself navigating the complexities of first love-especially when her heart keeps leading her toward the group's charismatic drummer, Itto...- HELLOOOOO! Thanks for getting lost on this page. Itto fanfic! In this fanfic visions do not exist. Every character exists but they are just normal people. However, for characters like Itto, Miko and so on, who have like things on their body, which a human wouldn't have, I didn't remove them. So Itto will stay with his horns even though he is a 'human'. I think it would be weird if e.g. Miko is missing her fox ears lol. The characters in the book are all teen age (14-18) and it's modern au. IF YOU FIND ANY GRAMMAR MISTAKES, I'M SORRY! ENGLISH IS NOT MY NATIVE LANGUAGE! BUT FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IN THE COMMENTS! THAT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED :) DISCLAMIER: Cedits to HoYoverse and the person who took the picture for that.
