Summary
"He's my wife," Gallagher said calmly, taking a sip of his beer.
"Get real," another enforcer chimed in, snorting. "Look at him. That's... that's a Halovian! A high society beau. I recognize 'I have a villa in the sun-lit part of the city' money when I see it. He'd get married to a famous director or a celebrity chef or whatever ... wouldn't even look twice at a guy who smells like cheap tobacco and dog hair."
A fourth voice spoke up:
"Yeah, he's way out of your league, man. It's not even funny."
Gallagher felt a prickle of irritation. He opened his mouth to argue, to tell them exactly how he had dragged that perfect angel down into the mud, but a voice cut across the table.
"It's true."
Or: Domestic bliss, defined by the click of a lock and the cry of a newborn. Gallagher tries to fill the hollow parts of himself with a family, regardless of the cost to his "wife."

Summary
Varka has spent forty years making sure "biology" is never an excuse. He may be an alpha, but more importantly, he's a Grand Master, the Knight of Boreas, the sort of man who has enough self-control to walk away from any omega in heat if there isn't a ring on both their fingers.
He never felt the need to question this. Not before he met a certain (too-charming) lightkeeper he soon fell half in love with. Even though Flins is definitely a beta... This proves that Nod-Krai's stories about "moonmad" Fae whisking alphas away never to be seen again are just that: stories. They have to be, because the Fae in those stories—creatures of light and hunger that smell sweeter than sin itself—don't sound anything like Flins at all...

Summary
The contract said "get rid of" the Oak Family head, Sunday. It didn't specify how. So when Gallagher discovers the mafia leader's secret—that he's actually an omega posing as a beta—a bullet seems wasteful. After all, claiming Sunday for himself is not only an effective way to neutralize the threat but also serves to kill two birds with one stone: save Gallagher from his loneliness and Sunday from his hubris.

Summary
Kaveh never planned to still be here, in Alhaitham's house ... or to want more than he's allowed. But when a client's offhand command and a too-generous Akademiya program crack open the door to what might be a different future, Kaveh finds himself dreaming of things he's never had: family, stability, maybe even peace.
(Or: When Kaveh considers becoming a single parent, Alhaitham enters crisis mode for the first time in his adult life, scrambling to be chosen as the father of Kaveh's child.)

Summary
An meiner Wand hängt ein japanisches Holzwerk
Maske eines bösen Dämons, bemalt mit Goldlack.
Mitfühlend sehe ich
Die geschwollenen Stirnadern, andeutend
Wie anstrengend es ist, böse zu sein.On my wall hangs a Japanese wood carving
Mask of an evil demon, painted with gold lacquer.
Compassionately I see
The swollen veins of the forehead, indicating
How exhausting it is to be evil.— Bertolt Brecht, Die Maske des Bösen
Danke Brecht Brudi

Summary
Baizhu war sich schon immer darüber bewusst gewesen, dass Celestia Spaß daran fand ihm das Leben schwer zu machen. Chronisch krank und ohne Familie verbringt der schwächliche Heiler seine Tage in einem kleinen Dorf in Liyue.
Als dann eine scheinbar unheilbare Krankheit ausbricht findet Baizhu sich als Opfergabe für die Meeresgottheit Osial wieder, welcher fanatisch von den Dörflern verehrt wird.
In seiner Verzweiflung betet er zu einer anderen Gottheit, Morax. Und wird erhört.Morax findet schnell Gefallen an dem menschlichen Heiler und es dauert nicht lang bis Baizhu sich gefangen zwischen der ehrlichen Zuneigung und dunklen Obsession des Archon wiederfindet.

Summary
Angels do not lie, and so Morax does not speak when Ajax asks if he finds him comely. He does not protest, either, when Ajax steps into his space. When Ajax leans close and Morax can feel the heat radiating off him, when Ajax spreads his leathery wings just enough to make Morax feel like there is nobody else in the world but them, and that they are not tucked into a side street behind a building of blinding light.
A demon breaks through the heavenly bounds with eyes only for Morax, and Morax finds himself too weak to resist its unholy temptation.
