Summary
One of the hardest parts of being a thief is selling the stolen items without getting caught. Luckily for the famous thief Tartaglia, the Queen of Snezhnaya has offered him a very large sum of money if he steals a certain item for her.
What's that item you ask?
One of 7 priceless chess pieces that have been passed down in the royal families for generations.
The Liyue Emperor's Gnosis.
-
AU where Childe is a thief tasked with stealing Rex Lapis' Gnosis but in the process he finds himself getting attached to the very knowledgeable funeral parlour consultant he originally approached to get information.
Rated T for occasional swearing.

Summary
Rex Lapis' golden gaze lowers to the ground. For a moment, it feels as though every other living thing holds its breath.
"Rex Lapis! My name is Childe, and while I am kind of a bad guy, I am honoured to meet you." He puts his fist to his palm in a traditional Liyuen greeting, exactly as Zhongli had once showed him, and smiles with too much teeth. "Will you heed my request?"
Rex Lapis does not answer, but he does not immediately smite Childe where he stands either, so he takes it as a cue to continue.
"May I please have one of your scales?"
Childe can’t bear to see his good friend Zhongli upset over his broken jewellery box. He decides to make Zhongli a new one, out of nice-smelling wood, definitely platonic love, and a dragon scale from Rex Lapis himself.

Summary
Ajax has plenty of regrets.
When he left for war, things between him and Tonia had been ... complicated. He still remembers her screaming, crying, begging him not to leave. Eventually, he left her.
Then there was Capitano's fountain pen.
Ajax had thought it was simply a gift before the man departed for Natlan. He never realized it was actually Capitano's final keepsake, left behind before his death.
And—oh. Right.
Zhongli.
Their relationship had never been quite the same after Ajax discovered his true identity. Zhongli had tried to apologize—no, "tried" was an understatement.
He had begged for Ajax's forgiveness.
But now that he was dead, Ajax wished he had been kinder. It was only now that he realized just how many people cared about him.
***
Or, a regression AU where Ajax turn back time and trying to fix things. Mostly fluff and found family.
Oh, did I mention angst?

Summary
There was a problem. An underground fighting tournament was in a week, but Childe was supposed to meet his future husband that same day. The solution? Switch lives with Thoma, of course! Slap on a wig and some colored contacts and bam! It was the perfect plan! What could possibly go wrong? (Spoiler: Everything goes disastrously wrong.)
Childe never intended to end up in Liyue, claimed as Morax’s fated mate. Thoma just wanted to go back to his miserable, debt-filled life, but this persistent, rich, and sexy lord won’t leave him alone! Nevertheless, the two must do everything they can to avoid exposing their identities.
Or, a Princess and the Pauper story that nobody asked for.

Summary
“Tartaglia, you are being reassigned.”
Excitement pumps through Childe’s veins as the words are uttered, his casual smile widening into an ecstatic grin. For it to be the Tsaritsa passing this mission along to him directly rather than Pierro– it must be high-stakes.
“You will be going to Liyue,” she says, “to enter a courtship with Rex Lapis.”
What?
Childe swallows harshly, his tongue feeling thick in his mouth.
“Your Majesty, I believe there may be a misunderstanding.”
More like an impossibly large oversight to this whole plan. “Rex Lapis and I… we are not on the best of terms, at the moment.” That’s putting it lightly, though saying as much to his Queen feels immensely childish, and shame surely paints his face a burning red hue. “I do not think he would be pleased to receive me.”
Her expression does not change, and she only answers him with patience. “On the contrary, he has specifically requested you.”
