    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

    “It’ll be okay, Akito,” Touya whispers, laying his head on his partner’s impossibly soft hair. “We’ve always stuck together no matter what, and this won’t be any different. One day…we’ll be okay.”

    [akito, touya, and the idea of a home in past, present, and future.]

    Summary

    The Sabzeruz Festival repeats again and again, and Alhaitham is forced to remember every day for as long as the Akademiya feels like continuing their dream harvest. He learns something about Kaveh in the process, and maybe a little something about himself, too.

    "I keep coming back to you,” He laughed, but it came out nervous. “How sad is that?”

    “Sad?”

    Kaveh picked at the grass below him, keeping his head down. “You don’t love me. You never will.”

    Summary

    In thirty minutes, Alhaitham is going to be home, and Kaveh needs to be able to be his most composed self for the inevitable confrontation that will happen the second his roommate is through the door.

    Actually— no, scratch that.

    Why live through the confrontation at all when he could move out right the fuck now? If he starts packing this very second he can at least take a bag for some of his clothes and another for his most important tools. Right? Right.

    Kaveh accidentally ends a phone call with “I love you.” Alhaitham… deals with it.

    Summary

    The thing is: Akito’s not that impulsive. Not when it comes to things that matter. Later, he’ll reminisce and consider that maybe this was not the smartest thing to do to a perfectly stable, years-long partnership without thinking about the potential consequences.

    But later is later and now is now, and right now he happens to be busy grabbing Toya by the collar and smashing their mouths together, fevered and frantic, eager to kiss every trace of surprise off his stupid cute face.

    Six years in the future, Shinonome Akito hooks up with his best friend. This has—consequences.
