A final update to my HuXiao fic, Butterfly Baby, after 3 years. 🦋

A fleeting memory, a fleeting butterfly

as the Snezhnayian civil war rages in the distance, childe runs through a snowy forest, desperate to find his pregnant finance, lumine. the tired and battle-worn harbinger finds himself descending into a familiar place from his youth; the abyss.

after what felt like weeks of combat training, trials, and seeing beasts beyond the understanding of mankind, childe finds his way to the surface, back to civilization, still desperate to find lumine, whom he last saw 8 months pregnant with their baby, wearing her newly purchased engagement ring.

instead of being greeted with layers of white snow and the sound of battlezones, he hears people chattering and the sound of strange machines. childe, bewildered and dazed, looks up to see towering buildings and people walking by on the street, staring into small glowing rectangles in their palms. despite the dark night sky above, everywhere he looked seemed bright with color and lights.

Hu Tao: Buy one get one free! And for a limited time, if you’re killed by Covid-19, anyone you’ve directly infected gets 25% off their “second home” or 50% off a cremation service! Don’t miss out on this incredible deal’

What you lacked was not wind. It's courage that's allowed you to become the first flying birds of this world.

🦋 Chapter 12 of Butterfly Baby is out! (HuXiao)
