There the young girl was adopted into the Kaslana-Shariac household and was given another chance at the normal life she always wanted. These are the stories of that world.

The fact she’s now successfully working as a scientist should tell you everything.

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: The story is told in third person and mainly focuses on Sirin and the way she impacts others’ lives, so frequent switches to her friends and family are expected. Though more notable examples that barely, if at all, involve Sirin have begun to show up.
** ''Vermilion'' is about Hua preparing herself to fight [[spoiler:the current era Herrscher of Flames, Himeko,]] and is noted to be the first chapter to not revolve around Sirin in any way, only involving a short appearance of her in a flashback.
** ''Slithering Snake'' focuses on Mobius and shows us what she’d been up to between the end of the previous era and becoming a therapist at St. Freya. It's soon followed by the ''Breakout'' chapters, which are about the fallout of Mobius’ connection to World Serpent being discovered.

* CompositeCharacter: Kiana in this story is the original one with a personality closer to that of the clone one. Because of Sirin being alive K-423 is never created and the plane crash in which Kiana gets lost never happens.
* CoolBigSis: Sirin is one to Kiana and it's not hard to see why. How would you react to an older sister that can fly, create portals and comes packaged with a dragon maid?
* DecompositeCharacter: In canon Kurikara was the result of Mei reanimating the corpse of Benares with her powers. In this story they're two entirely separate entities, with Kurikara being a different Honkai creature that was given sentience by Mei in a similar manner.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Otto really should've known better than using his Divine Key against one of the people responsible for creating it. Mobius easily convinced Void Archives to tell her everything it knew about Otto.
* HappilyAdopted: The main premise of this story. Sirin is adopted by the Kaslana-Shariac family. She loves Cecilia and even took her surname. Her new younger sister Kiana is equally adored by her. The relationship to Siegfried is very noticeably colder, though it’s pretty [[Main/AnArmAndALeg understandable why]].
* NamedByTheAdaptation: In canon Mei’s Herrscher personality was never addressed in a specific manner. In this story it’s referred to as [[VideoGame/GenshinImpact Baal]].
* ShoutOut: Mei’s Herrscher personality is called Baal in this story, referring to the name of the Electro Archon of ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'' that’s ironically based on Mei herself.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Sirin and Cecilia survive the Second Honkai War in this story.
