Summary
For Humanity, First Contact with an alien race should've been historical, right? Too bad History in this case meant war. A war that spread slowly and became entrenched across Shanxi. In the middle of it, two officers on opposing sides decide to take a gamble on each other if it means saving lives. Cooperation turns into trust, which slowly turns into something that's too dangerous to name on a battlefield. And learning to live with that is no easier.
[First Contact War AU Avitus/Scott story - already written, updated weekly]

Summary
When Dennis Whitaker leaves Nebraska for the first time, in the summer of 1994, it isn’t by choice. Sicily is too warm, too foreign, too full of things he doesn’t understand, and too far from the life that was already decided for him.
Between restless nights, suffocating expectations, and a family that only seems to notice him when he’s useful, Dennis begins to drift. The future waiting for him back home feels less and less certain—and wanting something else is one thing. Allowing it is another.
Then there’s the man next door. Older. Quiet. Observant. Someone who sees more than he says, and more than Dennis is used to being seen at all. What begins as a simple encounter, a ball over a wall, turns into something slower. Something deliberate. Something that lingers.
Because Robby doesn’t exist outside Dennis’ world—he unsettles it. Questions it. Opens it. And for the first time, Dennis finds himself standing at the edge of something he doesn’t understand, and isn’t sure he’s allowed to want.
Because some distances can’t be measured in miles. And some crossings don’t let you go back.

Summary
Xiao did not flinch or look away. He sat there, his horns nearly brushing the Geo Archon's hair, and stared up into his eyes. Ancient dragon eyes, that had seen every mystery of Teyvat and still found something worthwhile in him.
"What if I become him again? Will you promise to kill me?"
Rex Lapis snorted, his warm breath clouding over Xiao's face. "I'm not concerned about that."
"Please." He grasped Rex Lapis's hand in both of his, holding desperate and tight. "Promise me."
This hidden vale could have been the entire universe, in that moment. Everything in Xiao's being was pinpointing onto the expression on Rex Lapis's face.
Rex Lapis closed his other hand over Xiao's and told him, "I promise."
Slow-burn Xiao / Zhongli romance, heavily focusing on how Xiao recovers from the torment he endures from his former master. His traumatic memory splits into two selves: Xiao and Red Xiao. In order to become the Conqueror of Demons, Xiao must first conquer the demon of his own past.
