    Summary

    “Mr. Zhongli. You’ve heard of him?”

    That funeral consultant in town. He’s had a few dealings with the Fatui. An odd job or two. The parlor director had chastised them for bringing in too much business. It must be how he and Tartaglia met. He's an eccentric man. Particular and precise. Seems a bit stuffy for Tartaglia’s type.

    The Fatui soldier scoffs. “How could I not with him moaning out his name all the time. Never says anything about it, though. Do you think he even realizes-?”

    They both laugh. For one with such talent and power, their Harbinger can be willfully blind.

    “That he has it bad?”

    Or, Childe brings a little too much conspicuous pining for a certain Liyue funeral consultant into his regularly scheduled Fatui fuckfest.

    Summary

    "ART loved its crew. The joy and the love and perfect clarity with what it was supposed to be, what it was supposed to do. ART couldn’t understand how someone could dislike their function - how I could. Once, I had a similar clarity of understanding with my function, then I hacked my governor module and left the company for good, and I had lost it all. It was better, now, in a lot of ways. I had my humans, and ART, and our crew. But in some ways, things were worse.
    I still wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, ever. I had made one good decision, to stay with ART, a few years ago, and I had been just making the same decision over and over again. It felt kind of like cheating."

    A 20-some year fic in which Murderbot comes to terms with what it means to have a home (or two), a found family (or several), and just what mutual administrative assistance can entail.

    Summary

    Five perspectives on Thanatos and Zagreus as they fall, and in the aftermath.

    “He's not leaving,” Thanatos bites back. “There's nowhere to go.”

    Ah, the words of a god. To Achilles’ once-mortal eyes, there are cracks and open windows and doors with just the right key and escape routes aplenty from the House. “So you'd think. I guess wherever he goes, you'll be seeing him either way.”

    Thanatos turns to him and it's as if this had never occurred to him. “What do you mean?”

    “Didn't you tell him? It's a hard world out there. I’m sure he'll find out, and I don't know anything that can bleed that doesn't wash up here eventually.”
