    Summary

    “Understandable, given your situation,” Zhongli offers diplomatically. “If it is any consolation, I feel much the same way.”

    A possibility crosses Childe's mind, and his expression changes thoughtfully. “Say, what if we made a deal? This is the Land of Contracts, after all, it should surely be appropriate.”

    He can tell he’s piqued Zhongli’s interest, as the man’s head tilts and masked amber eyes narrow in on Childe’s face. “Oh? I have to admit, Master Childe, I am not particularly looking for new business ventures at the moment."

    Childe waves a gloved hand dismissively. “No, no, not of that nature. I mean for the Hunt.”

    Zhongli appears even more intrigued. “I’m listening.”

    With a devious grin, Childe leans toward Zhongli and speaks lowly, though there’s no indication anyone is listening in on their conversation. “What if we partnered up for the Hunt? You’re not looking for a match, I’m not looking for a match, it’s a win-win opportunity.”

    -

    Or; Every five years, Teyvat holds the Hunter's Ball. It is an opportunity for the upper class and nobility of each nation to mingle, and to participate in the Hunt; a matchmaking game wherein predator hybrids hunt prey hybrids to secure a mate.

    Summary

    Katsuki realized that the idea of the two of them—Bakugou Katsuki and Midoriya Izuku, Kacchan and Deku—was woven so intimately into who he was that he’d never given any of it a second thought.

    When he’d fallen in love with Izuku, he’d never thought to be afraid.

    When Izuku turned down the invitation to work together as heroes, it completely derailed the plan that Katsuki had been working towards for the past eight years.

    In the face of this unexpected turn of events, Katsuki quickly realized just how much he’d messed up by clinging to the idea of Izuku’s return. Because without Izuku there to fill in the gaps of his life, he became more and more aware of how painfully empty he felt.

    With his future cleared of the last hopes and dreams of his youth, there was plenty of room for flowers to grow.

    Summary

    When the hydro sovereign arrives in Liyue, Zhongli suspects that carrying out judgment isn’t the only reason he has come. After all, he could have sought out any other archon first, but he had come to him, the only dragon beside Neuvillette who still roamed Teyvat. Going off a hunch, Zhongli decides to make him an offer: He’ll teach him how to transform into a dragon. What he asks for in exchange is that his trial will take place in Liyue, only between the two of them.

    Neuvillette, who has lived in the body of a human his entire life, would do anything to finally find his true form; even spend a considerable amount of time with a man he deeply mistrusts.

    Summary

    Ren is well acquainted with Dan Heng's coldness. His fear, his anger, his pity, too. But his gentleness is a foreign beast, and Ren would rather strike it down where it stands than let it live long enough to feel the sting of its bite.

    He isn't foolish enough to think that it could be tamed.

    Summary

    “The Veil…” Solas murmured, as if he couldn’t begin to finish.

    Rook laughed into the ground, bruised and breathless.

    “Oh Solas,” he said, pushing up, “you should never have married me.”

    Or: Solas tries an alternate method of manipulating Rook. It does not go to plan.
