    Summary

    He heard a sharp intake of breath next to him. Phainon looked to his right, where Mydeimos was watching the Jellies with adept attention. His eyes, locked onto the fishes’ dance, seemed to be sparkling; his mouth slightly agape as white light emerged from the water. He looked as though he was witnessing magic, which Phainon could only assume this must be like for him-such mesmerizing displays could only be seen in animals’ natural environments, away from cities like Okhema.

    “They’re beautiful,” he said.

    The Summer Night sky was dark, and the only illumination came from the jellyfish and the Fisherman’s Shop’s flickering outdoor lights. Phainon didn’t know when his focus had shifted from the Moonlight Jellies’ Dance, but he noticed in the faint glow how pretty Mydeimos’ eyelashes were; he watched the other man aptly as he marveled at the spectacle, smiling at his enthusiasm and awe.

    “Aren’t they?” Phainon breathed out, his blue eyes still fixated on Mydeimos.

    Summary

    Phainon is absolutely adorable, wearing a long sleeved shirt that has a giant, yellow duck over the front and… bright purple pants? His build is small, having chubby arms and legs. But what drew Mydei to Phainon was him having the most stunning eyes Mydei has ever seen. Crystalline blue with golden specks around the pupil, the child stares at Mydei- unblinking for a moment, before turning his head to burrow into his father’s shirt with a muffled gurgle. Something in Mydei breaks, he wants to squish Phainon’s round cheeks- he can imagine how soft it would be.

    “He’s turning three this year, isn’t he adorable?” Audata coos, trying to get Phainon out of his father’s shirt. Mydei can see the red blush on the tips of Phainon’s ears. He wants to melt into a pile of goo, this kid is too much for his heart!

    -
    No matter what, Phainon will always gravitates towards Mydei.

    Summary

    Zhongli, a professor at a local university, puts out an ad to get a new roommate.

    He hopes for someone sane, and easy to get along with.

    Perhaps what (or who) he gets is a bit too much of what he wanted.

    Summary

    Falling in love was nothing like falling in battle.

    In battle, there was the rush of adrenaline, the clarity of instinct. You knew the stakes. You understood the cost. You braced yourself for the impact.

    But this—this was something else entirely.

    It was in the little things.

    It was in the way Zhongli never failed to pour him tea first, even though Childe always gulped it down too fast and burned his tongue. It was in the way Xiao, despite all his scowling, started showing up at their table without an excuse, as if some part of him had accepted the ridiculous notion that he belonged here. It was in the mornings, when Childe woke up before Zhongli, stretching in the golden dawn, and realized that this—this quiet, steady life—felt more like victory than any battle ever had.

    In which Childe learns that “home” is not a place you conquer, but a place where someone saves your seat.

    (Or, the one where Childe accidentally adopts a Yaksha, marries a god, retires from the Fatui, and calls it character development.)
