    Summary

    Not too long ago, there was chatter about an incident involving Master Diluc and some outlandish alcohol from Snezhnaya.

    Now, it’s no shock to anyone that Diluc is not a fan of alcohol.

    Whether it be wine, beer, or any other of the various distilled beverages Mondstadt cherishes, Diluc can’t stand it.

    That is, not today, he can’t.

    8 years ago, deep in the frozen tundra of Snezhnaya, was a different story.

     

    Or;

     

    Diluc has a one night stand with a Fatui Harbinger.

    Summary

    The Black Tide is gone. The world is remade. And Phainon the Deliverer, the man who fulfilled prophecy, doesn’t know what to do with himself.

    Mydei, who has always seen him too clearly, drags him back to the ruins of Aedes Elysiae and says “We’re rebuilding this. Together.”

    Summary

    "I've asked around, Diluc. Everyone says that you seem more distracted lately."

    "There is no correlation! For all you know, I could be distracted by some unforseen problem you knights have yet to discover."

    Lohen smirked. "But is it really that, Master Diluc?"

    ————

    After learning that Diluc has been targetted, Lohen decides to task himself with walking the winery owner home. And walking him home obviously entails railing him, no questions asked.

    Summary

    Diluc pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "I'm not sure whether or not that was a compliment, but I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't stare at me."

    "Sounds like you want me to stop, Master Diluc." Lohen's grin only grew wider.

    "Indeed, I would like you to stop."

    "Then, make me."

    ".. Excuse me?"

    "I'm sure that if you were to bash my head against the wall a couple of times, I'd have no choice but to stop staring, wouldn't you say, Master Diluc?"

    Diluc's brows creased in concern as he looked at the man, whose face was flushed, pupils dilated and shaking as he stared at him with scary intensity.

    ——

    Positively exhausted after their “fight,” Lohen turned to look at Diluc with a smug grin.

    “I win.” he announced, taking in the sight of the disheveled man before him.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng visits the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City while on an impromptu trip his friends forced him to join at gunpoint (not really, but Wei Wuxian's threats to expose all of Jiang Cheng's old Facebook photos might as well be the same damn thing).

    He just doesn't expect something – or someone, for that matter – to follow him home.

    Summary

    “Hm,” Lan Wangji hums, not like the curt sound he makes when he wants to avoid a conversation. It’s more stubborn and very, very sarcastic.

    Lan Wangji is the worst. Somehow, Jiang Cheng doesn’t think it’s a bad thing.

    Summary

    “Then, I believe I’ll take you up on your offer,” he agrees. “As for today, what did you have planned?”

    Jin Guangyao smiles and inclines his head slightly towards Jin Ling, feeling oddly mirthful. “I am at the mercy of the Young Master’s whims.”

    (A day of babysitting his nephew alongside Lan Xichen forces Jin Guangyao to face what he truly wants, and the idea that maybe he can actually have it.)

    Summary

    “Uh, Shifu,” Chengling follows him into the kitchen like an anxious puppy, fluttering around and trying to peer over his shoulder, “are you sure about this? Shouldn’t we wait for Uncle Wen? He said I shouldn’t mess around the kitchen when he’s not here…”

    “Don’t be absurd, it’s a meal, not a battlefield,” he huffs, pointedly not thinking how much easier a battlefield would realistically be, “we’ll be fine. Now, get the ginger, it should be in,” coming up with a blank, he looks around the kitchen. Where should it be in? Well, probably somewhere not too difficult to find. “Here somewhere,” he decides on, very diplomatically. 

    Chengling makes a noise. “It’s just that, Shifu, Uncle Wen also told me to warn him before you, er, burned down the kitchen again.”

    Of course he did. Why did he ever think Wen Kexing would let him live that down so soon? “Your Uncle Wen isn’t here right now,” Zhou Zishu says, very pleasantly, and begins gutting the fish with enthusiasm, “and the kitchen isn’t burning. Now, do you want to go get the ginger or do handstands outside?”

    Wise beyond his years, Chengling goes look for the ginger.

    Summary

    Zhou Zishu knew he signed himself up for a night of trouble when he agreed to chaperone Chengling to some "haunted" manor while he films an episode of Cao Weining and Gu Xiang's paranormal investigation show. He didn't know, however, that he would run into one flirtatious Wen Kexing clad in white hanfu and suffer half of the night in his company.

    That is, until Wen Kexing vanishes. Now Zishu has to learn how to deal with the possibility that he may have gotten hit on by a ghost.

    Summary

    The beach is deceptively quiet. Zhou Zishu is used to the bustle of the city, to the never-ending roar of the traffic and electricity and people, and how it fades into background radiation that's so easy to ignore. But out here, in this tiny house perched at the top of the hill overlooking the dunes and waves, the silence tries to deafen him. Without the white noise of constant activity, the crash of the ocean grates on his nerves like the scrape of metal on metal. The wind that blows through the sea grass keeps him awake at night, and the harsh cries of the gulls set his teeth on edge.

    Now as Zhou Zishu sits on his porch, looking over the sunset on the churning water and enjoying the burn of whiskey that slides down his throat, he lets out a bitter laugh. It's a good thing he didn't come here to relax; he came here to die.

    Or the merman/ex-cryptid hunter au!

    Summary

    Zhang Chengling knows he hasn’t been dealt the best hand in life, but he’s content where he is now. Living with Zhou Zishu is comforting in a way Chengling cannot describe and could not have imagined back when he was still being shuffled from uncle to uncle. He’s comfortable here--happy, even.

    Chengling doesn’t have much to complain about these days. In fact, the only issue troubling him is the increasingly evident realization that his adoptive father’s house husband is an actual mobster.

    “What if I were to tell you I’m a mob boss?” Wen Kexing asks, his expression neutral. Zhou Zishu pauses for a fraction of a second, considering, and it’s enough time for Wen Kexing’s face to crinkle back into his standard grin. “Really? You think I, Philanthropist Wen, could be a mob boss? How little you think of me. I’m wounded.”

    “If you ever do become involved with the mob, you’ve got the dramatics down for sure,” Zhou Zishu deadpans.

    Summary

    Meng Yao’s fingers tighten against the box; he can’t help it. There’s nothing he can do—any reaction from him will only prove their assumptions about him correct in their own minds. The only thing he can do is remain silent, smile pinned to his face like a dead butterfly, hollow and lifeless. Lan Qiren, voice carrying despite its low volume, calls for silence—

    —and then: Lan-zongzhu, Zewu-jun, Lan Xichen steps from the raised partition of the classroom; steps down, towards Meng Yao, rather than one of the other Lan attendants coming to receive the box from him. “I have heard much from Nie-zongzhu about his capable deputy,” he says, and there is a smile unfurled across his face, tender and, against all odds, genuine; and Meng Yao wonders, wildly, what he’s doing. “The elegance of your speech proves the expectations I had in full.”

    -

    A retrospective on the life of Jin Guangyao, and his relationship with Lan Xichen.

    Summary

    There’s the quiet knock of his assistant, Su She, at the door. He likes to hover anxiously outside the glass walls of his office as if Meng Yao can’t see him. This is usually followed by Meng Yao waving him in wordlessly, taking something or filing something or approving something whilst Su She wrings his hands.

    Today, Meng Yao has to balance the phone between his ear and shoulder as Su She passes him a baby.

    ***

    Yet another illegitimate Jin baby appears and Jin Guangshan takes no responsibility.

    Meng Yao has to do everything around here.
