About the Project

Tides & Tears is an unofficial, SFW fan anthology dedicated to celebrating the romantic relationship between Neuvillette and Furina (Focalors) from Genshin! We aim to explore their relationship through the way their lives intertwined in different periods in their long, lonely lifespans, and the limitless possibilities in alternate universes.We are a for-profit project. Profits will first go towards production expenses and ensuring every contributor has a copy of the physical book. Our next priority will go towards adding the rest of the merch for contributors and, if applicable, any leftovers will be split between the mod team and contributors.
