    Summary

    In a world where alphas' violent tenancies have led to them being sequestered away from civilised society, Childe keeps his true status a secret, concealed from the rest of the world with the help of Dottore's experimental pills.

    However, a delayed shipment threatens to expose his secret, and with less than a week to go before Childe faces losing himself to his instincts, he turns to the one man in Liyue who can hope to help him should the worst occur. During his subsequent stay with Zhongli, Childe is forced to reflect upon his past and his present, as well as the long-suppressed part of him that he must at last confront.

    Summary

    There comes a moment in every dragon’s unnaturally long life where they decide, against all wisdom, against millennia of stoic solitude, against the soft hiss of slumbering tectonic plates that beg do not, do not, do not—
    to fall in love.

    Zhongli has already lived through three mortal epochs and a dozen minor heartbreaks, a handful of cataclysmic betrayals, and once, a rather distressing culinary incident involving Sumeru spices and a brass teapot. He has watched civilizations rise and crumble like sandcastles abandoned by impatient gods. He has kissed emperors with ash still cooling in their mouths. He has forgotten entire dialects of love.

    But this one—

    Tartaglia. The Eleventh Harbinger. Fatui dog. That insufferable ginger menace who insists on calling him “xiansheng” while disarming hilichurls with a grin that belongs on wanted posters and in back-alley sonnets.

    This one, Zhongli decides, is worth the return of rituals.

    In which Zhongli confuses “romantic gestures” with “terrifying declarations of eternal possession,” and Childe is into it anyway.

    Summary

    Liyue's warmth crashed into Childe like waves in the ocean. So violent yet so beautiful. Childe doesn't fight it, he sinks in it's current, he drowns in it instead.

    He meets Zhongli and suddenly he feels unbroken. He feels whole. It's as if the Abyss never happened. As if his father never happened. As if he's human, unblemished, and unfaded.

    Then Liyue's trial happened.

    Those Cor Lapis eyes that shone for him, that saw him as someone to be cherished, now stood focused on Signora as a Gnosis is traded away.

    He'd felt this before...he's being abandoned again.

    A poisoning incident somehow leads him to find a "tumor" growing on elemental energy, a conspiracy led by the Abyss, and a child of his own.

    Through this, Childe heals. He tries to forget.

    Through this, Zhongli finds that his actions....have consequences.

    Summary

    Ajax remembers very little about the Abyss beyond his first month there. Oh well, there are bigger things to worry about—like being sold into the Fatui.

    “I sort of had a nasty confrontation in Natlan during my diplomatic tenure—got poisoned by my subordinates who happened to be spies—nearly died—and got reassigned to be a diplomat to Liyue because Her Highness doesn’t believe in vacation time,” Childe lists. “Not necessarily in that order. I haven’t even seen my siblings in years.”

    “So work,” Keqing simplifies instantly, not wanting to touch that madness with a seven-foot pole.

    “What are the Tsaritsa’s intentions for you coming to Liyue.”

    “Honestly?” Childe hums. “No damn clue. I mean, she dumped me in Natlan for over half a decade—then boom! Out of nowhere, I get a reassignment when I’ve been asking for one for nearly five-fucking years.”

    “I fucking hate Natlan—three out of ten—would not recommend.”

    Summary

    As Jinwoo’s body & personality start changing following the events of the double dungeon, Jinah has been documenting it. Not entirely on purpose, at first, but then her little following on social media catches sight of something… strange about her brother’s shadow during one of her TikToks, and she becomes determined to find some answers. This turns into a series of shenanigans and silly pranks as she tries to unravel the mystery that is her own older brother, Hunter Sung Jinwoo.

    Or: Jinwoo isn’t exactly up-to-date with the latest trends and thinks that Jinah has been recording videos to send to her friends, or maybe as some kind of video diary to show their comatose mother if when she wakes up. He doesn’t realize she’s been posting them on social media for the world to see.

    CURRENT: As the fourth Jeju Island raid approaches, the Sung siblings struggle to figure out a way to catch their mother up to speed.
