    Summary

    It's almost a pity, that the other elves are too afraid of him, of what he reminds them of. They hate him because they fear him, they are ashamed of him because they cannot understand him.

    Summary

    Quentin shook out the tension in his hands. He didn’t understand why it wasn’t getting any easier. For days on end he’d been trying to perfect the illumination spell the rest of his fellow First Years had nailed in a matter of hours. But no matter how he tried, Quentin couldn’t seem to make anything more than a spark.

    He didn’t know what was worse: that his discipline was apparently shit at magic, or that he’d been placed in the Physical Kids’ Cottage with his ex-whatever-the-hell-they’d-been-in-undergrad because the administration didn’t know what else to do with him. He couldn’t do shit about the latter, but he figured he could at least try and get the basics of magic down before Dean Fogg realized what a grave mistake he’d made in allowing Quentin into Brakebills to begin with.

    OR

    The one where Quentin and Eliot are exes who had an intense D/s relationship in undergrad.

    Summary

    { Tomo/Kazuha ※ AU ※ Written for TomoZuha Week }

    The spirit flinched under his touch. For once, though, he didn't pull away, letting Tomo comb through his hair. "Why are you so kind to me?"
    "Do I need a reason?" Tomo said. [...] "I think it's sad to live as you do. Everyone deserves a chance at enjoying life, and no god has the right to trample others as they please."
    Kazuha stiffened on the stool. "If it's pity you feel for me, I don't require it."
    "Yet, you're still here."

    { On his duty to purify a demon, Tomo gets the wrong person and accidentally offends a local forest spirit. Eventually, the two of them manage to form a feeble bond... but things hardly go smoothly for them. }

    Summary

    { Tomo/Kazuha ※ Royalty AU (noble!Tomo/bodyguard!Kazuha) }

    "You know," Tomo snapped at some point, "at least my previous bodyguards talked."
    He didn't picture a precise reaction he'd love to see on Kazuha's face. He was hoping for a pout, an inkling of hurt, or even sheer anger at the indirect criticism. Yet, there was no change in his expression.
    "I apologize if I'm not living up to your expectations."

    { At the ripe age of 24, Tomo thinks he's past the point he needs a bodyguard to follow him around. His family disagrees, and chaos ensues. }

    Summary

    Lisa didn't expect the citizens of Mondstadt to be monsters. Heartless, horrible, disgusting monsters.

    Because who could look at the stunning blonde Knight, who looked more angel than mortal, tightly squeezing the laughing little girl in her arms, and think they were an abomination?

    or, Mondstadt believes that marriage is sacred, and women who have children out of wedlock are looked down upon and spat at. Lisa, a newcomer who has never lived in a place that thought that way, meets Jean, a single mother, and her absolutely adorable daughter Klee.

    Summary

    Xiao is old. Very fucking old. He got old enough to see Liyue modernize to extreme lengths. Liyue no longer has any need for him or any other Adepti. Xiao no longer has a purpose - nothing more to hunt. Nothing to fight but his dreams.

    Simply put, Xiao is forced to live under humans and obey human rules. Now he has to pay rent like a normal person. So, he starts streaming video games.

    Everything is going great except that Venti keeps crashing on his couch. That and the dead body.

    Summary

    Zhongli’s eyes widened, instinctively stepping out of the way as something darted past him. The odd entity carried the scent of rainfall, its body lightly glowing like an illuminated sea. The streets of Liyue Harbor were filled with panicked cries.

    No one could gain a better view as the thing leaped into the water, vanishing upon impact. Zhongli approached, peering down upon the water’s surface. There wasn’t even a trace of that creature being there in the first place.

    “... What was that?”

    In which Childe isn’t completely human, is nearly 200 years old, could probably become an archon if he wanted, is a “part-time” Harbinger, and eventually ends up moving in with Zhongli.

    Meanwhile, Zhongli has never seen a being quite like Childe in all of his years of living. Childe is left wondering why the Geo Archon looks at him like he’s the most interesting thing in the world.

    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

    “I thought I was the only Avenger with kids,” Clint says.

    “Scott has a daughter.” Natasha pours herself coffee. “Katy, right? No, Cassie.”

    Clint gives her a dirty look. “You could’ve told me. They’re so similar, Tasha. I mean, Jesus.”

    “Wait,” says Natasha. “You actually think—”

    “Hey, Nat,” says Peter, looking up from the waffle iron for the first time. “Do you want a waffle? I think Mr. Stark has some whipped cream, and I have skittles and gummy bears to add flavor and texture.”

     

    OR: The Avengers meet Spiderman via the online world and then meet Peter Parker in Stark's living room. It takes them longer than it should to put two-and-two together.
