🍂 Our time has come with a cool breeze but with warm hearts.

May we all meet again in a greener garden with even brighter flowers in a future spring.

Never forget with a little bit a love, patience, and time- someone can always find their Mint Condition again.

Mint Condition Annoncement stating the zine is now COMPLETE and the payment to Ablegamers can be found below. Thank you for watching us blossom. With love and Rosemary, Mint Condition.

The words Mint Condition were handwritten with a heart font by the head mod, as well as an image of Kaeya finding some mint, his and diluc's ascension flowers in a vase with a white bow on his windowsil. In the background, Diluc watches from a rooftop.

Beautifully wrapped (i almost felt guilty unwrapping it), and an ideal timing with the upcoming ao3 maintenance !

I forgot to share! In addition to Hollow Note, I did two #Luckae / #Crownfinch stickers for Mint!

The bird sticker was never offered in the bundles visibly but a text heavier version was on the candles.

You can pick up both during our leftovers!
mintyklk.bigcartel.com

two stickers from mint condition fanzine- one with the crownfinches that says "Remember to enjoy the little things. With love and rosemary, Mint Condition" and another with their childhood plushies saying "To be loved is to be changed"

Like this work? Mint Condition is running leftovers until October 1st. This artist also did a fantastic print for the theme.

He was proud of the huff he received in response. Diluc fell silent again immediately after, but he wasn't deterred, moving on to the next little memory, then another, and another...
Anything to keep Diluc talking and remind them both of the days when color wasn't so hard to find.

Diluc nibbled the plate of food, pushing the vegetables around more than eating them but that was just another sign of life. He fixed himself something as well, then moved to the next order of business: half coaxing and half dragging the stubborn mule of a man to the washrooms to tend to the bags under their eyes and that rat's nest of hair.

"You know," Kaeya mused. "I used to get pretty jealous of you sometimes."

He could feel the eyes turning up, even if he couldn't see them as he worked a brush through a tangle in his hand.

"Master Crepus used to look at you like you were his whole world."

Diluc made that familiar sound, a little hum from the back of their throat in thought. "Sorry, I wasn’t fishing for compliments or trying to make you feel inadequate."

“No, no it’s just… I just don’t think he would have this any other way. If there was ever a choice—
Master Crepus would always put you first."
