Summary
Xiao remembered touching her once. He'd caught her when she was falling from the crumbling Jade Chamber and held her by the waist, throwing her arm over his shoulders as she got her breath back, even squeezed her hand like one of the yakshas had done for him – who had it been? It was only a blurry silhouette in his mind now. He wished he could remember.
How had he grasped her hand without crushing her fragile fingers in his unrelenting grip?

Summary
This world hasn't seen peace for many years.
Now that the war is finally over and everyone is trying to get used to the new reality, an aspiring novelist Lumine embarks on a journey to find a silver lining in all the violence that had been a faithful companion of the passing turbulent times. In search of inspiration, she finds herself in Hépíng - a small Liyuean village that borders both vast cultivated fields as well as sharp and daunting stone peaks.
Xiao settled in Hépíng right after the war. He's a man of simple wishes - to survive each day and to wake up to see another one, without any disturbances. Little does he know that the arrival of a novelist from the faraway Fontaine will show him that life isn't there for the pure sake of surviving - but for living itself.

Summary
Zagreus and Thanatos have always been very different people, though that's never stopped them from caring deeply for one another - if anything they've always complemented one another. Now somehow after all these years they've realized the true depth of their feelings. Night and day, hot and cold, life and death, they've truly found one another, found their balance.
Or at least, they thought they had...

Summary
"Please consider what I’m about to say. Think of it as you return to your mother. You must put as much thought into it as you can. Will you? Please, promise me you will.”
“Yes! Whatever it is, I’ll consider it.”
“Eventually Lord Hades will have mercy upon you. He will. I know that must sound strange—the most severe of the gods showing mercy where his kindred won’t—but it’s the truth. The Olympians are more… unreliable. The only way I can see to protect the Underworld and in turn you and your mother is this: Bind yourself to me.” His hands tremble. He brushes his thumb along the crook of Zag’s throat, so very sweet, even when he’s rigid with tension. “Wed me.”
Raised by his mother far away from both Olympus and the Underworld, a strange series of events leads Zagreus to meeting a faceless, nameless Chthonic god.

His eyes and mind would always aim to his office and medical files.

Summary
“These chains are my sentence, Zagreus. They won’t break, no matter how many times you strike them,” Thanatos explains wearily.
"Then I’ll find a way to pardon you," he says resolutely. “I brought Orpheus back from his punishment. I can do the same for you.”
“Don’t you see that’s what your father wants, Zag? He wants you to be distracted, wasting your time looking for a way to help me rather than trying to escape-"
“It’s not a waste of time if it means you’re safe-” Thanatos’ eyes flash gold in the dim light, determined and resolute.
"Don’t let him win, Zag. I mean it.” The words shock him into stillness; somehow Thanatos’ gentle tone hurts him more than anything else.
