    Summary

    It hurt his head to think about what he was doing prior to… this, but he was fairly certain he’d gone to bed. Like any normal day. He’d returned from his routine shift at the Fatui headquarters and gone back to his studio apartment to sleep. The first thing his slightly dumbfound mind managed to conjure up was that he’d been isekai’d, but it was thought with a mental laugh and a ‘yeah, sure’ followed right after.
    Meaning the only feasible conclusion was that he was still asleep, and this was all a dream.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    It sounded to Ajax as though dragons had to take the elements as a part of themselves, kind of like slimes. Although it felt slightly sacreligious to compare dragons to slimes,
    ...
    The possibilities, and he limited himself to swords! And haha funny little narwhal with a funny little horn, shut up Pulcinella, keep complaining about anatomical inaccuracies and I’ll keep adding horns to my constructs. Jellyfish with horns, now how would you like that?

    Ahem
    ---
    “Yes, but Havria cashed in an old favor and requested our aid back then,” Guizhong explained, serene. “Dai had been bothering her borders with increasing intensity, and was threatening her people. So, Morax and I went to deal with him.”

    “No, I went to deal with him while you had tea with Havria,” the god corrected, unfazed.

    “Same thing,” Guizhong mused.
    ---
    Guizhong felt like she should no longer be surprised, yet she still was.

    Childe was flying. With Hydro. Not with Anemo, the element that was meant to make one fly.

    Hydro. The element that wasn’t meant to make people fly.

    Or, at least, wasn’t supposed to. Because, apparently, it could. Somehow.

    Either that, or Childe was just different. Which, at this point, Guizhong was very much willing to accept as fact.
    ---
    “One can see the reasoning. Do not worry, this is no trouble. One would be honored to assist Master Childe in this mission,” Trail Clearer nodded as well, one hand on her chest. She then turned and settled a look on Zhihao and Xinyi. “One can only hope these raskals will behave themselves while on duty.”

    “What? Of course we will!” Zhihao pouted. Ajax had the suspicion they wouldn’t, actually.
    ---
    And hanging over the void, their light peeking through the flowers and rocks from time to time, were the stars. As though they were underground. Like-

    Like some sort of… root vegetable…

    Why were they called fruits then?! Ajax kind of wanted to scream.
    ---
    “That much is true,” Rex Lapis hummed, pondering. Ajax tried not to preen at that, his mind latching on to the smallest of crumbs like a half-brained pigeon. Gods, Pulcinella was right: his’ was just a self-perpetuating ego.
    ---
    Briefly, his brain wondered if Morax could use that tail like a kangaroo. If Ajax should worry about the god springing up and kicking him with both feet to the solar plexus. It was a funny image, but mildly terrifying at the same time.
    ---
    “If you stayed, you’d get to see Pantalone’s kids,” Arlecchino mused, joking, giving him a thumbs-up as the hug slowly dissolved now that he’d left. Ajax groaned in annoyance again.

    “What kids?” the supposed Pantalone demanded, also annoyed.
    ...
    Pantalone threw up his hands in frustration and turned to walk away as the others snickered.

    Summary

    Xiao is certain his life is a joke at this point. He's seen a lot of things in his life, but this takes the cake. Zhongli will be the death of him.

    In other words, Zhongli kidnapped Childe and now the Fatui think he's dead.

    At least Aether is there to suffer with him. Someone has to keep these idiots in line.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Somehow, they managed to make breakfast without killing each other. Xiao’s kind of impressed with Childe’s skill in the kitchen - he did not expect a killer to make such fluffy pancakes. Xiao even managed to make one too - it’s a bit misshapen but it’s eatable. They made more things too, but Xiao had very little hand in that.

    He hates that he had fun, Xiao is supposed to hate Childe’s guts.

    EXCEPT HE’S REX LAPIS’ WIFE.

    He’s still digesting that one.

    Can you even be married if the other party doesn’t know? Is that scamming? Xiao has so many questions.
    ---
    He knows that look in Zhongli’s eyes - he’ll go on a long-winded rant about trivia again. It’s great timing too - Childe has been missing those. “It all dates back to a very long time ago. Centuries ago even.”

    Zhongli goes on and on, his eyes full of life as he describes all kinds of things to Tartaglia. The delight might not show on his face, but it’s so clear in his eyes that Childe wants to go over and kiss him.

    Hmmm!!!!

    He must have fucked up at thinking there. Hug. Childe meant hug, of course. Like dudebros. Friends for life. Nothing else to see here!
    ---
    “Am I being too forward?” Zhongli asks like he doesn’t know how much Xiao wants to kill him right now. “I am simply being honest with my feelings.”

    “Be honest somewhere else.” Xiao hisses through clenched teeth. “I’m reaching my capacity for sap this week.”

    “...It’s Monday.” Aether states. Xiao only glares at them. Aether raises their hands in surrender.
    ---
    Xiao stares at the child tugging on Zhongli’s coat. He’s not fond of this situation - why does he have to babysit one more Snezhnayan?

    “Big brother said you know a lot!” Teucer’s cheery voice echoes around the room. “Tell me something smart!”

    Xiao watches as Zhongli tries to entertain the child with his trivia and it seems to be somewhat working - but Teucer keeps getting interested in something else, leaving Zhongli not enough room to breathe as he struggles to keep up.

    It’s hilarious. Xiao doesn’t mind Teucer anymore - this is great actually. He watches in amusement as Teucer drags Zhongli around the house, pointing out various things and demanding a story.

    Ah yes, sweet sweet revenge.
    ---
    Childe looks thoughtful but then nods. He basically attacks the closet as he frantically searches for a good outfit, asking for Xiao’s opinion on each piece.

    Xiao is now certain.

    This is hell.

    Summary

    It had been weeks—weeks since Kaeya last walked through the door of Angel's Share, weeks since Kaeya had given him that usual teasing smirk of his, weeks since the captain's voice rang loud and clear through the noise of the tavern. At first, it was only a little strange. But no one had seen the man around and soon he was officially declared missing. Diluc was starting to think that he would never be able to see Kaeya again... and the longer days passed by with no sign of his sworn brother, the more he lost hope. The only thing that had been keeping him sane, strangely enough, was the fluffy Cryo Abyss Mage that oddly reminded him of the missing captain and followed him everywhere like a lost puppy.

    Or, an Abyss Mage AU fic, inspired by a Twitter post from @Kasumi_Doodles.

    Summary

    “Oh well of-fucking-course,” Grog says. “We send the bookworm to scout out first and he gets all the fun!”

    Vax barely hears him though. He’s too focused on the splattering of bright red that stands out against the streaks of congealed brown on stone near the entrance of their keep.

    Summary

    Percy was trying to close the flower shop when a man with a man bun stalked in, slapped down a twenty dollar bill, and said, "How do I passive-aggressively say 'fuck you' in flower?"

    In which Percy works at Keyleth's flower shop and Vax promised Vex he'd get her flowers for her date but now they're fighting.
