Summary
Gorou sighs, resigned. “That Hina-san?” he says. “It’s me. She’s me.”
Itto laughs his stupid laugh. “Okay,” he says, chortling.
“I’m not joking,” Gorou says.
Itto laughs again. But then he meets Gorou’s eyes, and abruptly stops laughing. “Gods,” he says. “You’re serious?”love in the time of advice columns.

Summary
Scaramouche can’t be attracted to Childe. It’s Childe, for crying out loud. Stupid, asshole Childe with his idiot blue eyes and warm smile, and those big hands and… Fuck, he is attracted to Childe. He’s attracted to a ginger. That’s so embarrassing.

Summary
There was, indeed, a person. Aether stared in horror and wonder at the young man inside the coffin. (It was a coffin; it must have been, given what it contained.) The body looked perfectly preserved. There were no signs of decay or dryness. His clothes were immaculate. It was as if the man was merely sleeping.
“Let's leave,” Paimon said, tugging on Aether's scarf.
“Wait.” Aether leaned over the coffin's edge. This wasn’t normal. This place, the ice, this man… Aether didn’t understand, but he wanted to.
Aether, a fallen star looking for his lost sister, awakens a sleeper in a frozen ruin.

Summary
“By order of the Liyue Qixing, all members of the Fatui who are non-essential to the day-to-day operations of Northland Bank are to leave Liyue by the end of the month.
Please note: Harbingers do not qualify as essential staff.”
The only thing more difficult than completing a mission in a nation where Childe is hated, is completing a mission in a nation where he’s being threatened with imminent deportation.
Out of alternatives and with failure not an option, the only way he can hope to remain in Liyue is by entering a relationship with one of its residents. He can think of only one person eccentric enough to go along with such a suggestion.
OR: The inherent awkwardness of undertaking a secret mission while falling in love with the guy you’re fake dating for your residency permit.

Summary
It’s been two months since the storm, and Childe hasn’t seen Zhongli not even once, not since that fateful meeting with the Signora where the truth is finally unveiled.
And what a fun little kick to the gut that is, the realization that not only had he been played by all sides, but he's also being tossed aside like trash now that his use had run its course.
It’s not that Childe doesn’t get it. He’s a Harbinger. He knows first-hand what it means to do his duty, to put the mission first and his personal feelings far, far away, preferably locked up in a box, where it wouldn’t interfere with his job. He knows what it’s like working with vipers, to scheme and plot and lie in wait for the opportune moment to stab his opponent in the back.
But this time, this time Childe can’t help but feel a little (a lot) gutted.
Stupid. He’s gotten himself stupidly attached.
--
A story about Childe trying to move on after the events of 1.1 Update, but some of his actions have consequences, and those consequences have followed him back to Snezhnaya.NOTE: THIS FIC WAS DRAFTED BEFORE 1.1 UPDATE CAME OUT. MIND THE CANON-DIVERGENT TAG FOR THIS REASON.
