    Summary

    Ratio nods. “Good,” he says. “No heavy machinery or other potentially dangerous tasks. I wouldn’t recommend travel, either. Set alarms to remind yourself to eat, if necessary.”

    “Just stay at home and do nothing,” Aventurine says dully. “Sounds like a great way to fix Wanting To Do Nothing disease.”

    (Those who step into the shadows of IX become Self-Annihilators, drained of the will to live and desiring only their own death. After Penacony, Aventurine's not feeling so hot.)

    Summary

    “Wake up already… you damned gambler…”

    Weeks after Aventurine’s gamble in Penacony, Ratio is still tending to him in Reality. But even when his efforts pay off, there are still many wounds left behind.

    Some of them may be far too severe to ever be healed… but that won’t stop Ratio from trying, anyway.

    Summary

    “Zhongli said we should talk.” Childe admits, shifting now after a moment or ten of silence. Xiao was content with it just staring the increasingly twitchy mortal down. “Did he?”

    “Yes.” The ginger straightens now, eyes locked on him, Xiao hates how tall he is. “I— I really like your dad Xiao—“

    “What!??“

    “What?” Childe blinks, face going from serious and firm to anxious and confused in a second.

    “He is not my…father.” Xiao doesn’t know why saying that irritates him so much why everything feels eerily delicate and useless.

    “Oh.” Childe blinks. He looks surprised. “I- really? Does he know that?”

    “Zhongli is aware he is not my father, what is this line of questioning!?”

    “I-“ Childe stops. Shaking his head after a moment, a truthful smile on his face. “He really cares about you, that's all. Sorry if I offended you.”

    “I’m not offended.” Xiao bristles. “What was it Zhongli wished us to discuss?”

    Summary

    Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.

    Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.

    It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.

    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.
