    The Heretic was blessed and cursed with dreams of another world.

    A scholar plagued by Eleazar, he would pursue a cure at all costs.

    Summary

    “You have, but I can forgive you for it,” Diluc says. “For what it’s worth, I’d stay. If I had a different past, a different history, I would stay. It would be so easy to be yours.”

    “In another life, then.”

    “Do you believe in that sort of thing?”

    “I am in another life already."

    * * *

    Diluc first met Zhongli in the final year of his sojourn around Teyvat. When he decides it's time to return home to Mondstadt, he intends to make a clean cut in their companionship - but a goodbye is never so straightforward.

    Almost two years later, Diluc is brought back to Liyue Harbor in his efforts to help Aether. He and Zhongli meet again, despite being so sure that they'd go the rest of their lives estranged, and attempt to recognize the relationship they've spent the better part of three years wanting.

    Summary

    His heart burns in the hearth of a forge, pinned by the vice of time and warping in the heat, caressed by orange and blue. Visions offered in good faith at the edge of a celestial end.

    Let us be metals together, melted down in a crucible. Liquified and blended, I will never be without you. My molecules are yours. I beg they wrap us in plaster, pour us into a cast, and make us something bold, dynamic, permanent. Hold me in the center of a fountain—our arms will reflect moonlight and tarnish green in freezing rain.

    ***

    Viktor and Jayce don't grow old together, not here, but statues never die.

    Summary

    "Professor Talis!" A young man strides towards them, Academy-crest pin gleaming on his jacket. Jayce raises his hand in greeting, but the kid breezes right past him and stops a respectable distance from Viktor's chair. "I tried to sign up for your class this semester, but the waitlist was miles long--"

    Viktor and Jayce end up in a new world. In the middle of their honeymoon. There's a lot to figure out.
