    Summary

    Oh how he missed the days where he slept so deeply that it was more akin to unconsciousness. The complete nothingness of that dreamless sleep would be welcome, right now. But he could not let himself reach for that sweet oblivion again.

    Or… couldn't he? The Wild Hund was dealt with, their other pressing issues resolved. No one had need of his services. What was keeping him from slipping back into the embrace of that pure darkness, at least for long enough to get some proper sleep? Nothing.

    Flins take a long nap, but not as long as it could have been.

    Summary

    Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.

    Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.

    It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.

    Summary

    "Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”

    Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.

    Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?

    Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.

    And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

    Summary

    “The campaign has turned out quite well, my friend,” Plo mused.

    Wolffe crossed his arms and tilted his head, considering.

    “Monnk looks good,” he said thoughtfully; “does our face justice.”

    “Thank the ka’ra they didn’t pick Unduli and Gree,” Rex added. “That would’ve been embarrassing.”

    “I detest this,” Kit declared, crossing his arms too. “I don’t see why I had to be involved at all.”

    “The idea of the campaign is to show Clones and Jedi, working together in harmony to defend the citizens of the Republic,” Plo said, lacing his fingers together and tilting his head. “I think it comes over rather well.”

    Rex was pretty sure that the quiver in his tusks meant he was laughing at Kit.

    Summary

    Cody was still staring at him. Fox wasn't sure what made him keep talking.

    "It's always the shinies who think they're invincible," he muttered, "who think they're above the rules."

    Cody nodded slowly.

    "Yeah," he said, voice a little hoarse, "that's usually how I lose them too."

    Fox watched as his little brother finished the rest of his drink and stared down into his empty cup.

    It wasn't the same, he wanted to say. That's a battlefield, this is the centre of the Republic, it's different. The truth is that it's not as different as it should be.
