Summary
The first taste of autumn is in the air when Xiao first receives the order.
Retirement, it says, written in the inexorable and utterly recognizable script of Rex Lapis, the rest of the contract written formally and his seal stamped over the dried ink. He had done enough, Xiao had done enough—it had said—and his duties were discharged now, to let him have a little of the hard-won peace, and some enjoyment of it. And maybe—the contract stated in the kindest possible terms—maybe Xiao could have a new life of his own, just like Rex Lapis, as though he was hatched anew.

Summary
"He tastes salt in the air which stings his lips. He has always hated the sea. It is the place where gods go to die."
When Zhongli discovers he has Hanahaki disease he decides he is going to die.
It has been two months since he gave up his gnosis and, after his betrayal, Childe must hate him, so there's no way he will ever love him back. No, it's better to choke to death on petals than to be more of a burden to the Harbinger than he already is.Bookmarked by ancientmai

Summary
When Tony considers laying down the charm on Bucky Barnes around Steve, it's not with some grand plan in mind to actually be nicer. If anything, it serves the sole purpose of pissing Steve off.
The problem is, when Tony makes this decision—this half-cocked, spur-of-the-moment resolution to dial up the harmless flirt offensive—he doesn't pause to consider the potential fallout. Honestly, not for a second does he entertain the thought that this could backfire so spectacularly, not just with Bucky, but with Winter too.
Tony has no clue how he lets it get this far, but it’s not just his own fault. Not. Alright?

Summary
(totk) Link finds Kass standing next to Lover's Pond, playing his accordion just like he used to.
“You can tell me anything, friend. This conversation stays between you and me.”
Link shakes his head, because he can shoot a Gleeok thrice in the eye but he can’t ever find the right words. Luckily, he’s in the company of a poet.
“You miss her.”
