    Summary

    “Are you a Sentinel?” he blurts, before remembering Skirk's reticence to questions.

    She doesn’t stop moving, but she does glance at him from the corner of her eye.

    “No,” she says. “But you are a Guide.”

    Ajax blinks, faltering. The woman does not stop there.

    “You have also been blessed by Celestia. That Vision was next to you when I found you. To come into both blessings while in the Abyss.” She pauses. “You’re either extremely fortunate, or perhaps extremely cursed.”

    “A Guide?” Ajax’s brow furrows. “No, I must be a Sentinel.”

    ------
    Ever since Ajax was young, he has dreamed of being a Sentinel like his father. With heightened senses and strength, he could easily be a renowned adventurer, able to make a name for himself.

    Life does not quite work out that way.

    Summary

    A beat of silence envelops them briefly, Zhongli taking another step toward him but still not touching him. The aura of the Geo Archon crackles invisibly in the air, making Childe swallow as he fights to keep his hands to himself.

    “Would you like for me to scent you?” Zhongli offers then. “It may ease some of the discomfort.”

    Childe proceeds to choke on his own spit.

    ***

    Or: Childe and Zhongli are both betas. Until they're not.

    Summary

    One of the best assassins when alive Ajax Tartaglia had fucked up and gotten himself killed by his targets.

    Now an afterlife in hell awaits.

    But hell ain't no burning hellscape, it's a place where the best people who got blacklisted from Celestia gather. With freedom to kill as a demon Ajax must be in his own personal paradise, right? But when his role as a blood demon doesn't work out and the other Overlords can't seem to or want to control him, can the calm and rational Overlord of Contracts bend this little feisty demon into proper shape?

    A proper guide on how to train a newly born demon must be followed. This time, more....desire should be added.

    Summary

    “Understandable, given your situation,” Zhongli offers diplomatically. “If it is any consolation, I feel much the same way.”

    A possibility crosses Childe's mind, and his expression changes thoughtfully. “Say, what if we made a deal? This is the Land of Contracts, after all, it should surely be appropriate.”

    He can tell he’s piqued Zhongli’s interest, as the man’s head tilts and masked amber eyes narrow in on Childe’s face. “Oh? I have to admit, Master Childe, I am not particularly looking for new business ventures at the moment."

    Childe waves a gloved hand dismissively. “No, no, not of that nature. I mean for the Hunt.”

    Zhongli appears even more intrigued. “I’m listening.”

    With a devious grin, Childe leans toward Zhongli and speaks lowly, though there’s no indication anyone is listening in on their conversation. “What if we partnered up for the Hunt? You’re not looking for a match, I’m not looking for a match, it’s a win-win opportunity.”

    -

    Or; Every five years, Teyvat holds the Hunter's Ball. It is an opportunity for the upper class and nobility of each nation to mingle, and to participate in the Hunt; a matchmaking game wherein predator hybrids hunt prey hybrids to secure a mate.

    Summary

    After a very wild and inadvisable fuck on a cave floor in the middle of the wilderness, Childe and Zhongli each have something plaguing them: Childe, because he’s been feeling weirdly out of sorts after he went mad enough to show his hot business acquaintance his Abyss-tainted monstrous form — and Zhongli, because he isn’t sure if Childe remembers the full extent of their… coupling.
