Summary
“Zhongli, tell me, why were you avoiding me back then?”
“I simply did not wish to cause your reputation harm. The media—”
“I couldn't care less about what the damn media says.” Childe scoffs, stepping forward and placing a hand on the rails of the bridge they’d stopped upon, caging the other in place, “Xiansheng, did you really think you could get rid of me that easily?”
Once had been enough. And if this Zhongli still loved him…
In the past, he’d let go of their love much too easily. Let outside words and even his own pride tear them apart and keep them separated on parallel paths that would never meet again.
Now, as fate grants them another chance, Childe knows his answer.
The rising foreign star and Liyue's most beloved meet, clash, and reunite—painted as rivals by the media, with few knowing their true relationship. And as they begin to spend more time together, memories of the past return, realisations are made, and feelings finally revealed as well as shamelessly confessed in public.

Summary
[Childe]: hate to be the bearer of bad news my dude but u have the wrong number
It’s late enough that Childe doesn’t expect an answer until the morning, so he’s leaning over to put his phone away when three little dots appear at the bottom of his messages.
[Unknown Number]: Ah, apologies. I was intending to text my wife.
Childe squints at his screen. Wouldn’t the dude know their wife’s phone number? Childe’s about to respond when those dots reappear, another reply cycling.
[Unknown Number]: She passed away quite some time ago, and this was her number. I text it every year, but it seems as though there is finally someone on the other end. It wasn’t my intention to bother you, so, again, apologies.
Well, that took a turn.
While on an ad campaign in Liyue, an aging model named Childe gets a text message from a widower, wishing his dead wife a happy holiday. Lonely himself, Childe strikes up a conversation--will it lead to love?

Summary
He lifts up the stir fry meat first, "What has gotten into you?"
"I don't know." Childe sips from his cup innocently, "What's gotten into you?"
"I don't understand." Zhongli says this even when he knows exactly what is inside himself as of this moment. "Unless you would like to enlighten me."
Childe simply widens his smile.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Zhongli hides his pregnancy for reasons he does not say immediately. Unbeknownst to him, Childe knows.

Summary
Every profound spirit needs a mask; even more, around every profound spirit a mask is continually growing.
On Wall Street, everyone wears a mask. Ajax's is gilded—wealthy, brilliant and a little ruthless—the youngest Vice President of Snezhnaya Group and the envy of men twice his age. But beneath the polish lies Tartaglia: the murderous creature born in frozen Leningrad and buried beneath years of performance and starvation.
Then he meets Zhongli, the untouchable chairman of a rival firm. He is irrevocably handsome, utterly composed, absolutely revered without even trying to be. Ajax’s fascination festers. He wants him. He wants to be him. He wants to crawl beneath his skin, wear his calm like a second face, and feel what it’s like to be adored without effort.
To love Zhongli is to envy him.
To envy him is to become him.And as the bodies around Zhongli begin to appear in the forms of his secretaries, partners, and friends, Ajax must confront the most terrifying possibility of all.
Perhaps the mask has slipped. Perhaps Ajax is a killer.

Summary
Zhongli is just as enamored, staring his boyfriend directly in his eyes as wrinkles appear on each side of his own, lips curling into a fond smile and oh, fuck, why is Ajax's face so close to his?
He can feel their noses nearly touching and he can see the intense flush of freckled cheeks clearly mimicking his own because why would he suddenly feel hot if it's nearly winter, and it's cold, and they're outside?
The blue of his big eyes beckons him, but so does the golden with the other man. Are the waves of the stormy sea finally going to crash onto the rocks that lay there and have been immovable for countless years?In which Ajax and Zhongli get to spend their first "monthversary" together, watching the sunset... and making out. Like, a lot.
