    Summary

    Two hearts, two fates, both intertwined,
    a love borne from the Abyss.
    A contract of eternity, bound and signed,
    by the join of hands and a lover’s kiss.

    Zhongli has renounced his immortality and is ready to live a mundane mortal life in seclusion. His plans are uprooted, however, when he is approached by a shifty redhead with a strange request. Childe is a loyal mouthpiece of the Snezhnayan queen, tasked with a covert mission to use Zhongli to gather the whereabouts of an object lost after the Archon War. As the unlikely pair are forced to work together, their journey uncovers a threat far greater than either could have ever imagined. Beliefs challenged, and hearts on the line, the two men grow closer and find the kind of love that both had previously deemed impossible.

    Summary

    Two months after the Osial incident, Childe is back in Liyue Harbour, and diplomatic immunity is the only reason he isn't behind bars. Apparently, Keqing is the only one who sees this for the absolutely terrible idea it is, so she takes it into her own hands to... encourage Childe's good behaviour. By blackmailing him. With his feelings for Zhongli.

    No, she's not proud of it either. The Yuheng isn't the only one adept at blackmail, though, and when Childe pressures her with photographs of the Rex Lapis shrine in her closet, the two find themselves in the pettiest of stalemates.

    Summary

    Childe has feelings for Zhongli. Zhongli has feelings for Childe.

    Things could be so easy, but not when you're a fatui harbinger with abyssal taint and a literal god. Both of them having to deal with their difficult pasts and presents, on top of their obvious differences and their own insecurities. Because if you ask either of them? There's simply no way that the object of their affection could ever have feelings for them. Not after everything they've done in their past.

    Summary

    Many have flocked to Liyue to try their hand at conquering Rex Lapis’ Path of Indomitable Jade, rumoured to be relentless in its challenge but bountiful in its reward. Unsurprisingly, Ajax’s one track mind honed in on the word challenge and ran all the way to Celestia with it.

    No one told him it was a bygone tradition that vied for the emperor’s hand in marriage, not until much later, when Liyue was already decked to the nines in preparation for the coronation of the emperor’s beloved consort– an Ajax-shaped consort.

    (In which a bored Childe thinks he’s scaling up mountains to fight adepti and gain bountiful gifts for his nation and all that jazz, but he actually ends up wooing one of them and fighting favour from the rest and-- uh, wait, what do you mean the eccentric rock enthusiast is the emperor--)

    Summary

    “Ah, but before I go… you… were kind of right, ehe!” Venti wriggled in place, removing his hat to rummage inside it. “Forcing you to listen to my new song isn’t the only reason why I’m here~”
    Before Xiao could feel any kind of way about this admission, Venti reached out to him with his hand closed into a fist, prompting him to offer his own palm up, confused. He was not expecting Venti to drop a small, black pebble on his waiting hand.
    “This is for you!”
    Bringing it up to his face, Xiao tried to see what was so special about the pebble, but it looked no different from the rocks he found on his patrol route. Just a normal black pebble, albeit rather polished.
    “What is this…?”
    “A gift!” at Xiao’s blank look, Venti added, sheepish, “It reminded me of you! See, it’s like your hair!”

    Or: Xiao, and the journey from a place to a home.
