    Summary

    Albedo examined him from below, face as impassive as it always was: when he fought, when he worked, when he painted, when he chatted with someone he did not find particularly interesting. But the exertion had taken its toll on him nonetheless — because Albedo was real, corporeal, with hard elbow bones Kaeya could feel against his palm — and left him panting lightly. Kaeya was hardly starved for combat experience, and in his time he’d seen the face of bloodlust a thousand times, from battle-hungry rookies throwing themselves into death’s arms for the thrill of it, to seasoned professionals who treat killing like a sport. Albedo, beneath the flushed cheeks and the tousled hair, simply looked bored.

    Summary

    “Right. So, uh, how much are you asking for this thing? This book of yours.”

    Dori leans back in, her grin widening to reveal sharp teeth. “Oh, I thought you’d never ask, Grandmaster!” she purrs, each word as sweet as honey taken straight from the comb. “Why, it’s only fifty thousand mora.”

    Varka doesn’t quite choke on his own saliva, but it’s a close thing. “Fifty what now?”

    “Oh, don’t be like that,” Dori scolds with a shake of her head. “Anyone else would be asking for much more – it’s not every day you stumble upon a book this old and this useful too! A guide to courting for, ah, individuals specific to Nod-Krai and Snezhnaya? It’s practically a trove of information, Sir Varka! Really now, it’s only because you’re my most loyal, most esteemed, most valuable customer that I can afford naming such a low price.”

    Or: Varka gets swindled into buying a Fae courting guide, written by a human for other humans. He's also forced to come to terms with his own feelings regarding a certain Lightkeeper (who might or might not be Fae). Shenanigans ensue as he attempts to follow this dubious yet somehow effective guide to the very end.

    Summary

    Zhongli is careful after that.

    The moment he sees the young harbinger—sees those ocean eyes, that sharp, boyish smile—he knows.

    The world has brought him back.

    Not as he was, not as the man Zhongli once held in his arms, kissed under the pale hush of the moon, whispered devotion to between the hush of battles and the quiet of morning light. But as something new. A blank slate, untouched by the weight of history.

    Childe does not know him.

    Childe will never know him.

    But Zhongli does.

    It is a cruel thing, memory. Like the tide that recedes and returns, like the mountain that stands long after the civilization it bore has crumbled, Zhongli remains. A god in mortal skin, walking among those who do not know his name in the language of worship anymore.

    And yet, what is worship to a man who once held love in his hands?

    What is eternity when the one he would have shared it with is dust beneath his feet?

    Or, grief is easy when the body is cold; it is unbearable when the body smiles back at you.
