Pantalone is working late one evening in the office. It is an otherwise unremarkable evening of overtime. Except he feels a strange shiver across the back of his neck. A ghost has come to visit, looking for the Bank’s previous owner, Gentry De’An, to tell him that she has been mistakenly buried under his daughter's name. And she has a few things to say…
Ghosts but not in a horror way. Or a Christmas Carol.
The story of how Pantalone acquired the Northland Bank in Liyue Harbour.

Summary
**SLOW BURN**
You are a lawyer in Liyue Harbour whose business partner suddenly dies, making you responsible for the secret loan they'd taken out with the Northland Bank.
Unable to pay, you are summoned to a private audience with the Regrator himself, who makes you an interesting proposition to settle your debt; a transactional 'exchange of affectionate services'. You and he will be exclusive on two conditions: (i) no sex; and (ii) no love.
Despite your strong principles making you want to avoid having anything to do with him, as you get to know him, you cannot help but feel a strange and uncomfortable chemistry develop. Will your attraction for him in your personal interactions outweigh your moral objections to the dark and dirty deeds he does when not with you? Will he eventually overcome his trauma-induced aversion to sex?
And how does Pantalone's troubled past dictate his sense of love and intimacy?

Summary
The Pope dies, leaving the seat vacant. A Cardinal has his eyes set on the prize; one Cardinal Pantalone
Inspired by Strawbunny's Pantalone priest AU art, a discussion with Zandikaal about Pantalone wearing priestcore robes, the general shitshow that was the Borgias in the 1400-1500s, the Roberto Calvi affair, and the memoirs of ‘Mastro Titta’, the official executioner for the Papal States 1796-1864
The title is the official Latin pronouncement upon a new Pope being chosen. However, it’s also a nod to the film of the same name by Nanni Moretti
CW: If you are sensitive to critical commentary about organised religion generally – and Catholicism specifically – then you may find this work offensive
N.B. THIS FIC WILL BE SLOW TO UPDATE. I have many ongoing fics that I need to resume/finish plus irl stuff as well. This one will be a palate cleanser side-project for me when not working on xReader fics

A Teyvat retelling of the short story, The Man from the South, by Roald Dahl.
I got serious brainrot for this when I watched a vintage episode of Hitchcock’s Half Hour the other day. As such, it is an EXTREMELY OOC and NOT CANON COMPLIANT bit of fun. But hope you enjoy it.
On the Pearl Galley, Pantalone - accompanied by Ypsilon segment - agrees to a wager with a merchant. If the merchant can successfully demonstrate his product Pantalone will invest 5m mora. If not, the merchant will give up his pinkie finger. A fair exchange.
I couldn’t decide how to end it, so there are two alternative endings depending on whether you choose Pantalone to win his little bet! However, there is some overlap between the two endings since they both have the same 'reveal' which obviously needs to be included in both.
