Summary
Zhongli stares at the way blood is licked from Childe’s lips, from the way some still drips down to his chin and stains his skin a shade of red far too tangy to be the crimson he had accustomed himself to from times of perpetual hardship.
Words form on his lips, but he is rooted in place in this terrible display.
The air is suffocating, their safe haven intruded upon by images of Zhongli’s failures resurfacing to ruin the power he had on himself.
Childe smiles.
It is abyssal.
It is monstrous.
Zhongli is horrified by his lack of control.
--
Or: Zhongli caves in and forgets how to simply be all over again.

Summary
"Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”
Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.
Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?
Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.
And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

Summary
There aren't any windows in the Archives. They're in the basement, after all, deep underground in a way Tim often offhandedly referred to as "tomb-like" - usually when Jon gave him more work than usual.
Because of that, and also because it's late, it's by the light of a single flickering bulb that Jon finds himself swearing at a set of keys and a stiff, stubborn lock.
Jon encounters what was once Martin Blackwood.

Summary
Promptly, Jon snapped the book closed, his skin crawling a bit. He just invaded Martin's privacy. For Christ's sake-his bloody poetry book? Why was it on his desk in the first place? It looked like something that could've been seriously haunted, for all he knew! Doesn’t he know where he works? His personal belongings do not belong here. He really should have a talk with him about that.
