Star Rail Fanfiction
HoYoverse's space-fantasy RPG aboard the Astral Express, where the Trailblazer hops between worlds shaped by capricious gods called Aeons. Its AO3 fandom inherited Genshin's energy and its own distinct ships, led by Dan Heng/Blade's lifetimes-deep grudge romance and the Aventurine/Ratio gambler-and-scholar dynamic that exploded out of the Penacony arc. Fic favors reincarnation angst, high-stakes casino intrigue, and the Express crew as a bickering, tea-drinking found family.

Their canon collision on the Xianzhou Luofu is heavy with borrowed grudges, immortal grief, and a history only one of them remembers wanting. Shippers are drawn to the question of whether Blade hates Dan Heng or simply cannot let go of who he used to be.
