Summary
Akutagawa was briefly lost in a glassy sea of purple and gold - like rays of sun breaking through storm clouds, there were more colors reflected in Atsushi’s tear-stained eyes than he’d seen in ages. And Atsushi, damn it all, was still smiling up at him.

Summary
Maybe sharing a bath isn’t too weird, all things considered.
Noé ignored the fact that by nature of Vanitas offering in the first place, it definitely was, and kicked off the remainder of his clothes.

Summary
Kakashi thought that maybe he had just been looking for this the whole time - and he’d found it, the stars on earth; they’d just been hiding. Shooting stars, only there for a moment before they were lost to the darkness forever.

Summary
To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.
He comes close, though.
By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.
What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.
“Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”
Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

Summary
Legends say the God of Contracts used to roam our world, fulfilling contracts with countless with humans and magical beings alike.
Until he stopped appearing in the mortal realm five hundred years ago.
Brave travelers claim to have found his library and made even stronger contracts with him, saying that he has decided to retreat from his beloved subjects after an incident with the old God of Fate.
As the new God of Fate, I seek to right the wrongs of my predecessor.
Tartaglia, Eleventh Harbinger of Fate, I hereby give you this quest, for I trust you will be deemed worthy to pass through the library wards and free the God of Contracts from his curse.
P.S. Here is a scroll to aid in your quest.
Childe folded the letter and smirked. Ah, this was going to be fun.

Summary
It’s been two months since the storm, and Childe hasn’t seen Zhongli not even once, not since that fateful meeting with the Signora where the truth is finally unveiled.
And what a fun little kick to the gut that is, the realization that not only had he been played by all sides, but he's also being tossed aside like trash now that his use had run its course.
It’s not that Childe doesn’t get it. He’s a Harbinger. He knows first-hand what it means to do his duty, to put the mission first and his personal feelings far, far away, preferably locked up in a box, where it wouldn’t interfere with his job. He knows what it’s like working with vipers, to scheme and plot and lie in wait for the opportune moment to stab his opponent in the back.
But this time, this time Childe can’t help but feel a little (a lot) gutted.
Stupid. He’s gotten himself stupidly attached.

A story about Childe trying to move on after the events of 1.1 Update, but some of his actions have consequences, and those consequences have followed him back to Snezhnaya.NOTE: THIS FIC WAS DRAFTED BEFORE 1.1 UPDATE CAME OUT. MIND THE CANON-DIVERGENT TAG FOR THIS REASON.
