Summary
Liyue, the nation of commerce, home of the great Emperor Morax, has long been hailed as Teyvat's centre of wealth and commerce. Word of the nation flowed with the spread of its Emperor’s namesake coin, Mora. Many would travel to the nation for business, chasing the desperate hope of seeking their fortune.
Ajax of Morepesok was among such people. His hometown, a sleepy fishing village on the coast of Snezhnaya, was never going to be enough for someone like him. Planning to provide a better life for his family, Ajax spent months searching for work across the nation.
But after months of misfortune, culminating in being kidnapped to be sold off as a servant, Ajax finds himself stuck in the rear palace as… a low-ranking concubine?!
Now risking catching the attention of the Emperor and being doomed to spend the rest of his life in the rear palace, he must do everything in his power if he wants to return home to his beloved siblings. But when he begins to meet the many people in the Imperial Palace, from the illustrious high-ranking concubines to the mysterious Millelith soldier Zhongli, and a plot to assassinate the Emperor comes to light, Ajax must discover the truth, lest he lose all that he holds dear.

Noelle knew she had to finish the group project sooner rather than later. What she didn’t count for was inviting Susie to help her. Even more so having proper conversation with her.

Summary
“It’s okay that you miss him,” said Lan Wangji, a familiar litany to them both by now. “Do you feel sad?”
“I feel sad,” A-Yuan repeated, shoulders hitching with tiny hiccuping sniffs. “When is he coming back?”
“I don’t know. I am not sure where he is.”
But this seemed to frustrate A-Yuan. “Xian-gege! I miss him! Please, baba?” He looked up at him with wet cheeks and a wide, quivering frown. “Please baba can you ask him? I really miss him!” He sobbed again, heartbreakingly.
It stabbed straight through him, cracking open the reservoir of loss and helplessness that was all his own. His child’s grief did that, sometimes. It always took him by surprise. He caught his breath sharply and gathered A-Yuan into his arms, holding him tight until the pain ebbed.
“I will try,” he said softly into A-Yuan’s hair, when he could speak again. He never made uncertain promises and tried not even to raise uncertain hopes, but his son was hurting. His son believed he could make it better. He couldn’t not try.
Wen Qing might at least know who this “Xian-gege” was. He would text her in the morning. It would be a start.

Summary
“I hate you. I hate you so much that it makes me sick even thinking about your face. But… I will indulge myself selfishly tonight. One last time.”
“...What’s that suppos’ta mean?”
“It means come here, you foolish Doctor. Kiss me, before it is too late.”
Drunk and hopelessly pining for his married rival, Il Dottore makes a mistake. A human child sized mistake, that looks suspiciously like one as well.
In an effort to draw Pantalone's eye one last time, Il Dottore makes himself a new segment. A vessel, complete with all the "attractive" features Pantalone adores. However, like many of Il Dottore's experiments, this one goes awry when the incubator stops early, leaving a lost and helpless child in its wake, one that Pantalone just happens to stumble across and take pity on.
Now, faced with a furious Pantalone and agonizing feelings, Dottore is forced to play father to this little monster (which he hates). That is... until he starts getting attached to it. Oh no. He's caught feelings to it already, and he's only had it for two seconds. Not only that, but Pantalone is growing ever closer to him, too close to be "just" coworkers any longer.
Tsaritsa help them both.

Summary
Secure. Contain. Protect.
These are the words Zhongli lives by, working his way up the ranks of the SCP Foundation—an organisation dedicated to protecting humanity against anomalous threats. Now a respected researcher, he has spent the past two months as a consultant in Sumeru. His time on his current case at its end, the details of his next assignment arrive: he will relocate to Snezhnaya to assist with the initial analysis of a freshly contained SCP—a creature infused with forbidden energy and an insatiable drive to fight any who dare enter its containment cell.
For a man who has built his career on the principle of protecting humanity, his new assignment will test his resolve as he discovers that there is humanity even in the most monstrous of appearances, and a little bit of monster hidden in the places least expected.

Summary
Pantalone meets one of Il Dottore's clones: Though it's not the one he expected. Instead of the asshole that looks like a clown with his weird half mask, he gets a literal child, who's too cute to refuse.
Although... The child is not similar to the Doctor at all. In fact, this kid is as far from the Harbinger as one gets, weirdly helpful and quiet, barely speaking unless he was thanking Pantalone or giving information.
It was strange. Unusual. As if this child was never the Doctor in the first place.
What happened to make the Doctor into an apathetic asshole, if his younger self was so shy and polite?
Tl;dr: Pantalone meets baby clone and decides that it's his kid now. Dottore has to begrudgingly raise it with him and somehow also gets affection along the way (which he did NOT agree to).
