    Summary

    Lanterns. Caged flames, tamed into obedience. Cursed to burn only where they’re told and no more than they’re allowed to. A tool.

    Flins is a Lantern Fae, the only one of his kind. Known as the Azure Flame, he is feared by both fae and humans. Stripped of his name and memories by the Tsar, he exists as little more than a weapon: a hunting hound bound to its master, a flame condemned to burn only where commanded. For centuries, he has accepted this as his fate.

    That is, until in the midst of a routine and merciless task, he encounters a Captain of the Lightkeepers: a faction that dares to resist the unyielding dominion of the fae over humanity. Mistaking Flins for a human who has lost his name to a cruel fae, the Captain offers him a place among the Lightkeepers. Giving the Tsar an idea for Flins’s next mission:

    To infiltrate the Lightkeepers and destroy them from the inside.

    But could a creature feared even by his own kind truly pass as human? Especially with that insufferably persistent Captain refusing to leave his side, hovering, prying, and dragging him ever closer to a life he was never meant to have.

    Could something born in a cage ever learn how to be free?

    Summary

    "Your beans are enchanting, Little Master, and I ask for your permission to squeeze them,"
     
    Illuga's ears, triangular and quite big compared to the rest of him, twitched and faced towards his current nuisance in life: elegant, leather-clad and unfortunately attached to someone who enjoyed nothing more than teasing him. He resisted temptation and rolled himself into a miserable ball of grey fur. Sometimes, the best way was to ignore one's bullies and not give them the satisfaction of a reaction. Yes, Illuga allowed his paw to be held by said nuisance. Flins pressed his finger against a delicate pink toe bean. He then fucking cooed.


    Or: Illuga gets cursed and is transformed into a cat. Flins takes care of him.

    Summary

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON NOD-KRAIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE
    Presented by the Sumeru Akademiya Press, Department of Historical Ethnography
    Volume XII, Issue 3—"The Lightkeepers: Myth, Memory, and the Long Night"

    Selected papers, recovered correspondence, and transcribed artifacts presented at the Third Annual Symposium on Nod-Kraian Cultural Heritage, held at the Akademiya Grand Lecture Hall, Sumeru City. Compiled and edited by Dr. Vireshka Dastur, Chair of Northern Teyvatian Studies.

    Editor's Note:
    The Lightkeepers of Nod-Krai remain one of the most enduring and least understood institutions in Teyvatian history.
    This volume collects several papers and primary source materials presented at the third Annual Symposium on Nod-Kraian Cultural Heritage. Of particular interest is the ongoing scholarly debate surrounding "Ratnik Flins," whose historical existence remains hotly contented and whose relationship with the better-documented Starshyna Illuga Nikitovich continues to generate discussion in fields ranging from military history to folklore studies.

    We trust our readers will find much to consider.

    Flins and Illuga's footprints in Teyvatian history.

    Summary

    Flins should really reign in his curiosity one of these days, and learn to not touch every relic he sees. Really, such things won't always come consequence free.

    Or, have as adorable consequences. Such as turning into a mandragora.

    A reminder: Purple mandragora are NOT for eating!

    Summary

    How?

    “Well, you see, Master Illuga,” Flins tries to comfort him by intertwining their hands, “When two people love each other very much—”

    “I know that!” Illuga interrupts indignantly, though slightly less frantic than before. “I mean, I know that you can change your body at will," as Flins often does, like during their last encounter, "but you are still…?”

    “Ah. Despite my preferred apperance, those things are less set in stone for the Fae,” Flins explains. “As life forms created ultimately out of elemental energy, we are less governed by our bodies and biology, but rather by our intentions and wishes. If you remember during our last entanglement, I did express a certain desire in the heat of the moment…”

    “So you're saying that… you wanted me to come inside you so much that you became pregnant?”

    Summary

    “Right. So, uh, how much are you asking for this thing? This book of yours.”

    Dori leans back in, her grin widening to reveal sharp teeth. “Oh, I thought you’d never ask, Grandmaster!” she purrs, each word as sweet as honey taken straight from the comb. “Why, it’s only fifty thousand mora.”

    Varka doesn’t quite choke on his own saliva, but it’s a close thing. “Fifty what now?”

    “Oh, don’t be like that,” Dori scolds with a shake of her head. “Anyone else would be asking for much more – it’s not every day you stumble upon a book this old and this useful too! A guide to courting for, ah, individuals specific to Nod-Krai and Snezhnaya? It’s practically a trove of information, Sir Varka! Really now, it’s only because you’re my most loyal, most esteemed, most valuable customer that I can afford naming such a low price.”

    Or: Varka gets swindled into buying a Fae courting guide, written by a human for other humans. He's also forced to come to terms with his own feelings regarding a certain Lightkeeper (who might or might not be Fae). Shenanigans ensue as he attempts to follow this dubious yet somehow effective guide to the very end.

    Summary

    “It’s like having a personal heater. So warm and pretty,” he said, dozing off as he stared at the blue flame, sleep taking over him slowly. “Just like Mr. Flins.”

    As Illuga fell asleep, he drew the lantern closer into his chest, and Aedon wanted to scream. She could see the flicker of blue flame dancing and growing brighter inside the glass, clearly enjoying the comfort. That should’ve been her.

    That was the last strike. This perverted lantern fae was so going to get it.

    The lantern fae Flins was getting too brave yearning for her master, and Aedon took it upon herself to teach him a lesson.

    Summary

    Due to various reasons, Childe joined Zhongli's film crew.

    Their relationship was quite bad at first, but after going through many things together, it gradually improved.
    This fanfic may contain elements of a story within a story (i.e. there are descriptions of the scenes from the movie they are acting in).

    Pairing: Childe(Top) x Zhongli(Bottom), strictly no reverse...

    Translated from my Tartali fanfic 《影帝和至冬爱豆是在麦麸营业吗?》(originally written in Chinese) with some help from machine translation.
    I'll try to update on a daily basis.
    Feel free to let me know in the comment if there is any wrong/weird/inappropriate translation ^^

    Summary

    “Expertise?” The edges of Childe’s lips quirk up, as if he finds something immensely funny. "I have no need for your expertise, Zhongli. No—I want you to wear this.

    He pulls out what is very obviously a bunny costume, a pair of floppy, black bunny ears in the other hand.

    Childe offers Zhongli a part-time job at the bank. Unaware of the finer details, he decides to take it on.

    Summary

    During a fight with a strange new type of Regisvine, Zhongli ingests a mysterious dark slime that will slowly kill him unless he ingests, in one way or another, the reproductive vitality of someone other than himself.

    With roughly a 24-hour window, Zhongli must seek Childe out daily for his dose of "medicine". Unfortunately, for him, Childe thinks that they're just friends, and that 'this is what friends do to help each other out'. This is how it should be, given their respective identities, after all.

    But when their friendship is tested, how will they handle Zhongli's affliction?

    Summary

    Something must be off with Childe’s expression. Zhongli frowns across from him. “Did I make the wrong assumption?” He exhales. “I assumed you would like to stay in Liyue.”

    There’s a hint in Zhongli’s voice that implies forever and…would he? Given the choice, would he want to stay here?

    It’s a place that’s either disgustingly hot or uncomfortably wet, even for a Hydro Vision holder. There are still rules and etiquette that he doesn’t understand. The food is often hit or miss, and he still can’t read his way out of a children’s book. The people, once warm and welcome, now view him as a pariah, a criminal, and Childe knows he deserves it.

    And yet, he doesn’t know. He can’t even answer what should be an easy question. No, he doesn’t want to stay here. He has every single reason to leave, abandon this city and country and leave it for dead.

    Zhongli clears his throat, and Childe’s attention snaps back up. “Have you been to Mondstadt?”

    Wait, what?

    Summary

    Zhongli, in order to fulfill a contract, goes to Snezhnaya but in the middle of fulfilling his duty he runs into a Fatui General drenched in blood standing in his way. Somehow, he seems intent on forming a bond with this Liyuean man he’s never met before and although Zhongli is not as keen on forming relationships with humans, he can’t help but feel intrigued by those depthless eyes on such a young man.
    __________________________

    Zhongli steps forward out of concern for the general, kneeling before him.
    “You really should just give in. Are you so willing to lose a couple ribs over such a fight?”
    “Ah, Xiangsheng,” The general’s foreign tongue wraps over the Liyuean word in near perfect pronunciation, “For a chance to battle against you, anything would be worth it, even my life.”

    Summary

    Zhongli is still recovering after a battle with Azdaha, so Childe takes it upon himself to protect him. But as the unstoppable force swings out of control, the immovable object will need to step in if he hopes to keep them together.

    This is the sequal fic to Grounding. It isn't necessary to have read the previous one, but it helps get them past the whole 'you used me in your plan and never told me' thing that kind of needed to be addressed. This is the one where it gets shippy.
