    Summary

    “Wake up already… you damned gambler…”

    Weeks after Aventurine’s gamble in Penacony, Ratio is still tending to him in Reality. But even when his efforts pay off, there are still many wounds left behind.

    Some of them may be far too severe to ever be healed… but that won’t stop Ratio from trying, anyway.

    Summary

    Concrete and plaster rain from the ceiling, a cloud of dust billows from the floor to create a storm rivalling the Desert of Hadramaveth, and Zhongli raises a geo shield moments before a slab of concrete hurtles toward him, slamming against the shield and shattering in pieces on the floor.

    From within the cloud comes a glint of purple and a low, dark laugh.

    “Oh, xiansheng…looks like you don’t have much of a choice now, do you?” Childe emerges from the chaos, his hydro polearm crackling electro at the tip. “Don’t go easy on me. I won’t be holding back either.”

    After one of Dottore's experiments goes wrong, Childe spends a week lost in the depths of the Abyss. Summoned to Snezhnaya to assist, Zhongli meets a darker, more tormented Childe than the one who left Liyue only weeks prior, tainted with an insatiable thirst for the Geo Archon's blood.

    As Childe continues to struggle against uncontrollable transformations and his own dark urges, Zhongli contends with his own uncertainty in being able to assist before Childe is lost to the Abyss's call.

    After all, how can one who is not human hope to help another regain their own humanity?

    Summary

    His junior comes right up behind him as he pauses, his tone suddenly softer. “You’re angry with me.”

    “Of course I’m angry!” Kaveh spins around on heel and forced himself to stare up at his roommate, barely able to keep the tremble out of his lip. “We had plans and you just…tossed them aside. Without so much as asking me!”

    Alhaitham’s brows pinch together as he stares Kaveh down, as if trying to decipher a puzzle. “You could have just come with us-”

    “That’s not the point!” He’s far too drunk for this. It’s getting harder and harder to fight back the sting in his eyes and the tight squeeze in his chest. “I just…I need to go to bed. We can talk about this later.”

    --

    Kaveh's carried a torch for Alhaitham pretty much since the first day they met. It's obvious to everyone but the Grand Sage himself, but Kaveh isn't ready to put himself out there and risk being shut down.

    Turns out keeping his feelings to himself ends up hurting a lot more than he expected.

    In which Kaveh gaslights himself (a lot), Alhaitham's bad at feelings, Cyno's jokes are terrible, and Tighnari's just trying his best.
