FuriLumi

FuriLumi is the femslash ship between Furina and Lumine from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Chapter IV: Act I - Prelude of Blancheur and Noirceur
Furina and Lumine first come face to face during the quest Soloist's Prologue when the latter arrives in the nation of Fontaine alongside her traveling companion Paimon. To the duo's surprise, the two are welcomed soon after by none other than the Hydro god who presides over Fontaine - Furina, the Archon of Justice - who claims to have come to receive them personally and expresses a desire to have an "epic duel" with Lumine in particular. When Lumine interprets this as a provocation for a genuine fight and draws her sword in response, Furina questions nervously how Lumine isn't afraid at all about a duel against the divine, while at the same time expressing her admiration for Lumine's courage and referring to her as a true warrior. She clarifies that the kind of duel she wants to face Lumine in is a "duel in court", bringing up one of Fontaine's arbitrary laws (which Lumine and Paimon had not even technically broken) as an excuse to order Lumine's arrest and put her on trial. Much to Furina's amusement, however, a clever trick by Lyney - a magician that Lumine and Paimon had befriended very soon after arriving in Fontaine - causes Furina's charges against Lumine to no longer hold water, leading Furina to drop said charges before taking her leave.

Following some type spent with Lyney (and his siblings Lynette and Freminet) in the quest The City of Rains and Remembrance, Lumine and Paimon make their way to the Opera Epiclese to take their seats for Lyney and Lynette's magic show, at which Furina is also present but sitting at a much higher seat than everybody else. Coincidentally, Lumine gets seated right next to Neuvillette - the Chief Justice of Fontaine and closest individual to Furina - who comments on how Furina's been striking a pose in her seat for a while in the hopes of giving Lumine an elegant first impression, urging Lumine to look up before Furina gets too flustered and leading her to see Furina giggling satisfiedly to herself. Once the magic show actually starts, the two intently watch the on-stage tricks from their own separate seats and give similar impressed reactions, until the final trick involving a "box swap" ends up going wrong and leaving both the performers and audience in shock.

After it turns out that the error in the trick caused the death of one of Lyney's assistants and the disappearance of the woman inside one of the boxes, Furina uses the latter to draw a connection between an unsolved and ongoing serial disappearances case in Fontaine and impulsively accuses Lyney of being one of its perpetrators. Her satisfaction only grows when Lumine agrees to become Lyney's attorney to defend him against Furina's accusation, stating that facing Lumine as an opponent excites her even more than the prospect of delivering justice onto Lyney and that their showdown will be riveting. Neuvillette even remarks out loud about how Furina has set Lumine in her sights before giving both sides one day to build their cases.

Once Lyney's trial begins in the quest Lies Cast Shadows Under Gathered Lights, Furina is quick to take notice of the disappointed looks on her opponents' faces and remarks that she hopes the lack of evidence in Lyney's favor doesn't cause Lumine to concede so easily lest Furina get disappointed over not getting a proper duel against her most anticipated foe. Over the course of the trial, Furina brings up everything she can from Lyney's lack of knowledge on things he'd have to be aware of if he were truthful to his and his siblings' relation to the Fatui - an antagonistic organization that Lumine herself had clashed with numerous times prior - and her internal monologue gleefully talks about how her reasonings have left Lumine flabbergasted. Eventually, however, Lumine ends up turning one of Furina’s arguments against her, and after some additional much-needed support from an organization called Spina di Rosula (which had assisted prior in the investigation to build Lyney’s case) at a dire moment, Lyney’s innocence is confirmed and Neuvillette clears him of all charges. Furina, unable to find anything else to say in response to this new revelation, displeasedly admits defeat and huffs at Neuvillette for not leaving her any dignity, prompting Paimon to whisper to Lumine about how Furina’s left looking like a “deflated balloon”.

Chapter IV: Act II - As Light Rain Falls Without Reason
Furina is absent for the vast majority of this act and doesn’t even occupy the same space as Lumine in the story until the quest When All Return to the Waters, where both of them are present to see Navia - the president of Spina di Rosula - go up in court against the true culprit of the serial disappearances case that Furina had accused Lyney of in the previous act. While Furina is there to see the charges being pressed in real time, Lumine at that time is busy gathering up evidence with Paimon and only shows up near the very end of the trial to put the final nail in the coffin. Once the duo show up at the opera house with the last piece of evidence Navia needs, though Neuvillette complains about how the rules of the court keep being disrespected, Furina believes based on Lumine’s confidence that she’s found crucial evidence and allows her to proceed.

Once this quest is completed, visiting the Fountain of Lucine in front of the Opera Epiclese will sometimes cause the player to hear what sounds like Furina weeping as she bemoans her loneliness and wonders how much longer she has to bear it, possibly serving as an indication that she wants something or someone to lead her from her solitude.

Chapter IV: Act IV - Cataclysm's Quickening
After being told by Neuvillette to go to the Opera Epiclese to protect Furina, who is currently in a diplomatic meeting with the Knave, Lumine only tells him to explain things later before going to the opera house. Upon seeing her arrival, Furina stands with joy and immediately urges Lumine to sit beside her.

Whilst being pelted with questions by Arlecchino, Lumine makes some decisions in an effort to draw the Harbinger's attention away from Furina. However, at one point, Arlecchino's patience runs out and thus she begins questioning Furina's authority, even claiming that she is negligent towards Fontaine and that she is not the only one with these thoughts in mind. Furina stands up to the Knave and rebukes her accusations, despite having been depicted as extremely frightened when faced with Arlecchino after nearly being assassinated. Lumine internally comments as to how Furina is not being her usual self, and that she truly thinks these thoughts, instead of putting up a front. This burst of confidence is immediately shattered later on when the Knave asks the details of her emergency plan.

Before going out of the room to accompany Arlecchino and proceeding to the next step of the quest, players can interact with Furina, who is still sitting on her spot. When interacted, players will see her sighing about how the tea party was more difficult than she expected, before seeing Lumine listening in on her, in which she will quickly change the subject and becoming incredibly dismissive.

Fanon
FuriLumi is not a very popular ship in the fandom, having only a handful works that feature them in some way (with several of those works only having it as a side pairing and not the actual focus). It’s in direct competition with much more popular ships like ChiLumi and XiaoLumi on Lumine’s side, and Neuvirina and Arlefuri on Furina’s.

They currently have 40+ works on AO3.
