Summary
Orpheus’s gaze sweeps over Norton for a moment, before it settles onto Norton’s face. “May I come in?”
For a moment, Norton thinks of the stories about vampires asking their prey if they can be invited in. He sighs, and holds the door open more, so that Orpheus can walk through.
There are many things Norton does not allow himself to have.

Summary
Orpheus doesn’t remember him. Perhaps they got along, perhaps they didn’t. He doesn’t know. There is nothing that can be done about what happened, anyway.

Summary
“You thought I needed cheering up, like a child?” He says, trying to alleviate his giggles, and only partially succeeding. “That is the opposite of flattering, Zhongli. You’re correct, that does further my perception that you think of me as weak and insignificant.” He turns away, moving to go grab his discarded boots and jacket.
“No, that is not what I think at all. Your strength could be greater than Celestia itself, and I would still have given you my coat.”
Tartaglia stops.
For Tartaglia, it’s easier to lie to himself than to anyone else.

Summary
When artist-turned-office-worker Phainon attends the funeral of his former mentor, the infamously uncompromising painter Anaxagoras, the last thing he expects is to see the man’s ghost standing beside the casket. Trapped in limbo with “unfinished business” Anaxa is convinced the key to moving past this life lies somewhere in his chaotic artistic legacy.
Phainon, unconvinced, ends up dragging the stubborn spirit through experiences Anaxa never let himself have in life, hoping they might find answers there instead. As they retrace the shape of something they’d lost and thought was long gone between them, Anaxa begins to wonder if what’s keeping him here might have little to do with the work he left behind after all.

you can't go out the way you came in (in the arms of someone unaware of your sins) by rubydragonz

Summary
You kill a lot of people. People who've gotten on the wrong side of the bank, mostly, but sometimes robbers you meet on the side of the road. Sometimes robbers you hunt down just for the thrill of the hunt.
Sometimes the consultant watches. He closes his eyes when you deliver the final blow. He tells you that they're still people, though criminals. You wish he would watch everything. You want him to think you unclean. You want him to know what you are.

Summary
"I like you," he says, and he knows it's the truth. "May I have your name?"
"No you may not," says Zhongli. He may nurse a certain admiration for this faerie, but he knows better than to lose at the unseelie's games. "You may call me Zhongli."
The faerie smiles again, still somehow unnatural.
"You're a smart one," he says, and something in Zhongli's chest flutters for reasons he cannot begin to guess at.
He steps closer, close enough that Zhongli can feel his breath on his face and see the little icicles that form on his pretty eyelashes.
"You may call me Childe," he says. "Come see me again, would you?"

This house says my name like an elegy by gloomyparfait

Summary
Something always feels a little unreal about handling the aftermath of death. Childe hates it, really. It’s one thing to dole it out, to be the one to watch as life slips out of the eyes of his opponents. There is a certain satisfaction in that, and one he doesn’t feel entirely clean for. But it’s not that which he minds, really—what he hates about death is when it becomes personal.

Summary
PRETTY
adjective.1. Originally: cunning, crafty. Subsequently: clever, skillful, able.
2. Of a person, esp. a woman or child: attractive and pleasing in appearance; good-looking, esp. in a delicate or diminutive way. N.E.D. (1908) has the following comment: ‘Pretty is somewhat of a condescending term; we grant it: beauty is imperious, and commands our acknowledgement’."That was my nickname when I was a kid," he says. "Pretty deadly."
"I do not think a more accurate name exists for you," replies Zhongli, the words rolling off his tongue like a compliment.
