    Summary

    “You see, I’m new in town. And I heard here and there that you were the person to come to for a tour.”

    From this close, Zhongli can smell the seaspray clinging to his clothes, spot the faint flush of the sun sitting high on his cheeks. It really must not have been long since he stepped off the deck of a boat: did he only arrive this morning? What is he doing in Wangsheng Funeral Parlour then, of all places?

    “… A tour.”

    “Of Liyue,” explains Childe, as though that had been what Zhongli was asking for clarification about. “Word on the street is that your knowledge of it is like no other. Naturally, I had to come straight to make a booking with such a renowned guide!”

    Childe and Zhongli's intertwining deceptions, reimagined with some extra entanglements: confusing friendship, 'casual' sex, and, inconveniently, the foresight of love.

    Summary

    2006 was a busy year for 24 year-old Roman Roy, but if the devil works hard, Gerri Kellman works harder, and 2006 was a very productive year for the General Counsel. Unfortunately, the best-laid plans had not accounted for the power of cheek swabs and algorithms sixteen years later.

    At least the timing could be worse! (It couldn't be worse, actually. This is definitely the worst possible time for this to happen. There is nothing more inconvenient than learning the most dire secret of your life after you and your siblings have been ousted and exiled and thrown onto the very thin ice of newfound trust.)

    Summary

    “Until you break, or until I stop loving you. Whichever comes first.” Miko whispers in a tone that is almost erotic—shame and pride and hurt meld together.

    The faint whizzing of silk sliding against silk as the Guuji reaches over to her bedside bookcase, the snipping of petals plucked from an ikebana display.

    She leans in closer to sink the soft curls of chrysanthemum into the Shogun’s throat. Reflected in the kitsune’s eyes, Ei sees a mirror image of herself, frozen in time, lips sweetly and peacefully curved into a light smile, unperturbed by the experience as though Miko were feeding her dessert.

    “Why...?” The reflection shimmers as well-contained tears finally start to well up in those eyes. “Why did it have to be you..?”

    Ei travels backwards in time.
