    Summary

    Bill Cipher begs the Axolotl for a second chance on the verge of death. The Axolotl agrees, like the bleeding-heart idiot that it is. All Bill has to do is pass a little trial. How hard can that be for a dream demon of unfathomable cosmic power?

    He wakes up in 1979. And he is not a dream demon of unfathomable cosmic power.

    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.

    Summary

    In the labyrinthine depths of human existence, there lies a peculiar establishment—a casino, a place filled with shadowy origins that renders it an aberration in the eyes of common society. Its very essence entices a peculiar breed of souls, those who find themselves having a quirky mind of their own. Here, it stands, shrouded in its own enigma, with rules that defy conventional norms, an appearance as unique as it is beguiling, and actions as unpredictable as one's fate.

    The casino never sleeps. It twists and turns, revealing dozens of glassy colorful shards glimmering in the light like tears constructing a web of diverse feelings and thoughts as it follows the rules of time, never repeating it's cycle. And yet, despite those misshapen figures, it will always show a beautiful pattern of discord. Just like a kaleidoscope.

    The temperamental 22-year old Chuuya Nakahara, mafioso and undercover casino worker, encounters a variety of diverse faces and personalities during his work. From professional detectives to government agents and former traitors, from a writer overflowing with obsession to desperate trainees, looking for permission to live… And in the center of all - a particular cocky individual in bandages.

    Summary

    Dangerous place, these misty waters. It is hardly inhabited by merfolk, this part of the ocean, but it is for good reason. Sailors steer away from these parts, not wishing to risk their crew running into one of them

    Sirens

    No one knows how many there are, but stories of the survivors speak of a melody that surrounded them from all directions, yet not a single creature of the sea could be spotted. One after one, the sailors fell, jumped into the waves, steered against a cliff. Never did one come back with the description of one of these wretched beasts

    They speculated there must be dozens. Perhaps hundreds.

    In truth there was only one
