Summary
“Iwaizumi Hajime…” Oikawa began, but he couldn’t seem to put together the right words. He shook his head and stepped forward, his lips a breath away from the corner of Iwaizumi’s mouth. The captain shuddered slightly.
“Tooru. My name. Oikawa Tooru. Don’t use it in vain,” he whispered at last, breath hot against Iwaizumi’s cheek before he closed the distance with the faintest press of lips. His kiss was so light that it felt like the whistle of wind around a grazing bullet.
- Oikawa is a siren and Iwa is a pirate captain hunting down the renowned National Treasure with the help of some dubious characters.

Summary
“I wish to add on something to this contract of yours. Something that I need from you, if I am to feel any peace about stepping down from my position as the Geo Archon.”
The Tsaritsa motions for him to continue.
“My people must be tested. I need to be certain that they can defend themselves. When I step down, the adepti will be forced to step back. To test them, they need a strong enemy. One who will cause chaos and destruction, who seems like an opponent that only I and the adepti should be able to defeat. One who will be committed to the cause.”
She nods, pulling the contract back.
“One who will know nothing of the true plan. One who has their orders, and will be my pawn to lead.”
“You ask for a near-unbeatable opponent, but one who is easily manipulated?” She raises an eyebrow.
“Too tall an order, Your Highness?” he challenges.
“Just the opposite.”

Summary
Zhongli forgot his wallet.
It is a shame that, as per Snezhnayan etiquette, Ajax was going to pay for the two of them anyway.
Debts are always good for business.
Snapshots of Childe's time in Liyue and his growing relationship with a certain funeral consultant.

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.

Summary
What does it matter if he’s cold when he’s only a two days journey from being dead?
Or, he assumes he’ll be dead. The rest of the court seemed to think so, the way they all stared at him with such cloying pity after the Tsaritsa announced her plan to win over the mysterious nation to the south.
A show of diplomacy, a gift to the great Warrior God.
