    Summary

    "Forgive me, Lord Phainon, I can't help but be curious. How could you possibly not know that Lord Mydei has been your spouse for... four months?"

    "To be honest, Miss Castorice, I haven't the slightest idea."

    Through a series of events that may or may not have involved a Kremnoan courting ritual, Phainon had somehow managed to ask for Mydei's hand in marriage.

    For some reason, Mydei said yes.

    Summary

    “I like the kind of person who doesn’t flinch when I look them in the eye, who doesn’t back down.” Childe’s grip on his tie tightens, eye to eye, blue to gold. “Someone strong enough to match me and ambitious enough to enjoy the...challenge.”

    Zhongli’s rationality is swallowed by that soft ocean scent, his lungs clogged by the shimmering heat that drenches the air.

    “Is that what you are?” he murmurs. “A challenge?”

    “I think you’ll find, Mr. Zhongli, that I am the greatest challenge you will ever face.” Childe’s lips are a sin, hovering over his, apple-sweet temptation. “Will you back down now?”

    And Zhongli, cursing himself, does not back down.

    Childe is a dangerous crime boss threatening the peace of Liyue. Zhongli is the retired intelligence agent sent to infiltrate his organization and bring him to justice.

    But beneath Childe’s many masks, Zhongli finds a lost soul who yearns for redemption, and beyond Zhongli’s steadfast duty, Childe finds a tired soldier who yearns for a home.

    Summary

    “I’m an angel,” the angel says, doing jazz hands a little pathetically. “It means I’m here to save you. Don’t you remember me? We met that day in the records room, but I understand if you don’t remember. You were a little distracted.”

    “I was a little distracted being stabbed,” Al-Haitham says unbelievingly. “Also, angels aren’t real.”

    In which Kaveh is an angel, Al-Haitham is a disgruntled working man, and this can't end any way but badly.

    Summary

    “What is that, by the way?” He gestures at Jumpy Dumpty in Klee’s hands.

    “I made it!” Klee says happily, holding it up in two hands up in the air for Al-Haitham to take a closer look. Then she takes it back close to her chest and swings it around. “It’s looooots of fun, and it keeps me company in solitary confinement, and it protects me from all the ugly monsters out in the woods.”

    “Solitary confinement?”

    “That’s only because of the fish,” Klee says flippantly. “Among other things. Anyway. It’s one of my best friends!”

    “And it protects you how?” Al-Haitham says carefully.

    “Oh.” Klee blinks. “It’s a bomb.”

    Al-Haitham stands up suddenly. “Let’s go find your gege, okay?”

    In her search for Kaeya, Klee unwittingly becomes the catalyst for Al-Haitham and Kaveh's relationship. According to her, love is much simpler than they give it credit for.
