    Summary

    “They’re bitter,” he offers. “Ganyu eats them.”

    Barbatos’s eyes go round. “Raw?” he says, astonished. “My word.” He pauses, studying the qingxin in deep contemplation. Then he pops a petal into his mouth and immediately gags.

    Xiao concludes then and there that the Anemo Archon is an idiot. “I warned you,” he says, utterly unsympathetic.

    “That’s true!” Barbatos laughs. He runs a thumb over the bloom, but (thankfully) doesn’t try to eat any more. “I think it’ll grow on me,” he muses, then smiles, as if he’s said something clever.

    A selection of memories. Venti and Xiao, from the beginning to the end—and after.

    Summary

    Steve hadn't known what to expect. Even with all his training he feels unprepared.

    Any presumptions and expectations he did have went down the drain at the sight of him... of the demon with those ice-cold eyes that watch him. One blink and then the demon is upon him, metal arm wrapped around his throat, like a lion pawing a mouse.

    The cold fingers against his pulse don't hurt.

    The demon portrays no evil intent, choosing to wrap its shadows around Steve's limbs as he leans his human form closer to the cadet, pink lips ghosting over the shell of Steve's ear as he breathes the human in.

    Steve's heart is racing so fast, so quick, it would have been hard for the demon not to have heard it, to have seen his weakness. But by then it's too late: the demon lets out a deafening scream, hair shadowing his eyes as he crumples to the floor.

    This is his chance.

    Steve's only chance.

    It's now or never.

    No regrets.

    Even if it is the most foolish decision Steve will ever make.

    Summary

    Okay, so Bucky Barnes has a crush on Steve Rogers. The guy's gorgeous, talented and, oh yeah, the Chief Design Officer of the biggest tech company in the world. In other words: he's so far out of Bucky's league that he might as well be in a different stratosphere.

    Summary

    Steve had given up on relationships, given up on ever finding anyone out there for /him/. So, when Sam asks him if he'd be willing to help omegas out during their heat, he says yes. Enter: Bucky Barnes.

    This tells the story of Just Left of Normal from Steve's POV, and then explains what happens after.
