    Summary

    Tartaglia was impossible to glance over.

    The traveller was impossible to forget.

    And every year, as if by chance, they were reunited in Liyue and had a chance to get to know each other without spotlights watching their every move, with Lumine testing how close was too close to a Fatui Harbinger. They are drawn to each other like moths to a flame.

    And every year, the burns scars remind them of what they want and what they can't have.

    Except Tartaglia always got what he wanted.

    Or in which Childe & Lumine fall for each other through the Lantern Rites (and try really hard to deny it)

    Summary

    If you’d asked Ren to make a list of things Akechi might do after surviving certain death, twice, he would not have put ‘continue his dumb celebrity career’ on it anywhere. Like, not even as a back-up option. Not even close.

    Akechi shrugs. “My agent called. There was still interest. I need money to live. Do you expect me to get a job at 777?”

    Akechi’s face is on the 777. His smile glimmers out at the world, his eyes sparkling with secrets, as if nothing could be more coyly, erotically compelling than a cheap can of iced tea. The photographer seems to have been very, very interested in the way Akechi’s long fingers in black leather gloves set off the sweet curve of his lower lip. Every time Ren works a shift he has to look at this poster for hours. And the advertising campaign is working, so he also has to look at the mini-version on the special limited edition cans of iced tea that everyone is suddenly buying.

    Summary

    Futaba closes the door again for some thinking time. That was Goro Akechi on her doorstep. Well, on Sojiro’s doorstep, but Sojiro’s not here. Only Futaba is here.

    Open door. Peep round it. Akechi is a sort of heap on the step. Asleep? Or… possibly dead? Dead mom-killing ex-detective on Futaba’s doorstep? Didn’t he die four years ago? How is he here? Futaba hasn’t slept. Or eaten. She shouldn’t have to deal with this. What do you even do with a murder-detective possibly-corpse? She closes the door.

    Okay, no, she can’t just ignore him and hope he goes away.

    Well, she could though. It’s super super tempting.

    No, come on. What would Ren do? What would Sojiro do?

    What would Mom do?
