Summary
The concept of hope was interesting from a financial standpoint. To manufacture dreams and euphoria was to grasp power in a way most could not fathom. To rule with fear and despair? That was mere child’s play. Perhaps though, it’s better to say that, only through the negative emotions and experiences could unfettered and unadulterated joy be realized.
For what was light without the dark, good without evil, and yin without yang? In the requiem of this cyclic world, around and around in circles they went with this impossible puzzle. Oh, to be a fool, to be a Fatuus.
In the greatest of despair, it is hope that drives you forward. In the greatest of hope, it is despair that keeps you at a standstill.
Then, it is fear that drives the most basics of instinctive human reactions. And to rule over fear was to conquer demons. To hold the entire world in the palm of your own hands.

Summary
There are many stories that speculate the origins of Rex Lapis, yet perhaps it was not as theatrical as they claim.
There are also accounts that he came from humble beginnings, the last remnant of an ancient race, and a simple stone.

Summary
Once the dust settled Rex Lapis was content to fade into obscurity. But things are not simple for those who still remain, for Zhongli. You can shed one identity to a mortal one like the changing leaves in seasons, but the past never forgets. Once that unmovable visage was cast aside, what is left?
Time is not something gods lack. But at long last, maybe it was finally time to learn how to live for oneself.

Summary
“Who are you?” Dottore asked.
The other him responded. “I am you. In the future, that has yet to pass. That will not come to pass.”
It was not impossible. While he created the past in his own segments, theoretically, of course, he would be able to meet one of his own futures.
Dottore chuckled. “Hehe, fascinating. So there are in fact existences of myself in future timelines.”
“I trust you will know what to do?” the other him asked.
All projected and modeled possibilities lead to his own demise. Why was Pantalone, a simple human, such a key variable? Then for the greater goal of his own continued existence, it seems he must comply with his other selves’ demands.
“What do you have in mind?” he inquired from his other self.
They had reached the same conclusion.

Summary
A trilogy of Dottore and Pantalone's early life and relationship together.
On what it means to love someone who has segmented themselves and carries so much self-hatred. Who could only be described as a monster. On what it means to be someone who loves too much, to their own self-destruction.

Summary
"This is where the Sages imprisoned you," he says.
"Oh, yes, it is," Nahida answers, even though she's not sure that had been intended as a question. "In a little bubble, right there in the center." She points at the spot.
He turns his gaze to the blooming-flower central dais, as directed. The side of his mouth curls down. "For five-hundred years," he says.
Four-hundred and ninety-eight years, eleven months, and twenty-three days. "Approximately, yes."

Summary
Astarion doesn’t need a reflection to know himself – two hundred years of servitude has shown him exactly what he’s good for. Odd that his new partner seems to disagree.
Or, five times Astarion regretted being seen over the past centuries, and one time he didn’t.

Summary
A good lover is not something Childe would be so bold as to claim for himself, but he is eager to prove himself. He is earnest and adaptive and burning so fiercely now, entrenched in the depths of this hunger that only seems to spiral deeper and deeper. He lets Zhongli lead him to the side of his bed, and Childe will follow — keeping his eyes fixed on Zhongli’s gaze — his lips brushing against the smooth ridges of Zhongli’s knuckles, whispering words Childe did not know he could summon —
“Zhongli… how I've anticipated this moment — how eager I am to repay you for your generosity, divulging your knowledge to me, humble servant of another god from a foreign land — taking me into your home, filling my cup —”
Those curtains surrounding the bed are drawn aside, and Zhongli sits himself elegantly along the side of the mattress. Childe kisses his way up the inside of Zhongli's wrist, falling to his knees before his seated figure above him.
"Zhongli — would you let me show you?"

Summary
“We should…” Dan Heng inhales, “...stop.”
“I agree,” Ren says, but his dark eyes say otherwise.
Dan Heng leans in again before leaving a peck on Ren’s cheek. “We should really stop.”
“Mm.” Ren pulls him by his arm and Dan Heng lets himself be pinned on the bed.
Or Ren and Dan Heng within years of unresolved romantic tension.
