   Summary

   AU: Zhongli is an alien born from a falling star who accidentally attaches himself to Neuvillette and begins trying—often very badly—to understand humans. What starts as a strange horror situation slowly turns into a romance as Zhongli learns to build his own life, and Neuvillette struggles with the fear that being loved is only possible if someone needs him.

   There’s horror, comedy, some angst, and lots of fluff.
