Summary
And this too, is part of Tokyo. This city. This luminous whirlpool of static energy that draws all dreamers to its enigmatic core. Tokyo, a mediated ghost that haunted all who Wished to be there, to be here….
Perhaps then, it can be said that Sumeragi Subaru did finally achieve his dream of being a zookeeper. After all, one needs a zookeeper for all the animals within Tokyo’s urban jungle.
And because the zookeeper Sumeragi Subaru exists, so does his veterinary counterpart, Sakurazuka Seishirou. They are not so different, except the duties of a veterinarian also include putting the animals down.
An interlude: a pause between acts of a play.
Seishirou and Subaru navigate Tokyo in the years between winter '97 to the start of the Promised Year 1999.Takes place after Annex: Snow-Catcher but can be read stand-alone. Trigger warnings for graphic violence and/or extreme kinks/rough sex are added above each individual chapter.

Tartaglia reveals his Foul Legacy form for the first time to Zhongli.

Summary
It’s not like he wants to go back though— oh, don’t get him wrong, Subaru would do anything to have Hokuto back alive. But seven years is a long time, enough time.
How the mind tours the wreckage, over and over again as if its ruins were its own amusement park. Shibuya’s Crossing, Ikebukuro’s Sunshine City, Shinjuku’s Godzilla: still the same youthful faces, walking over his wild-torn heart. Survey the scars: death, betrayal, and take each overturned memory, stones gripped so tightly that Subaru’s palms bled from how hard he held on to them.
The smallest details, Subaru knew them all. He’ll practice his pain until each miserable flagellation stops having any meaning. Until one day, Subaru could finally say he felt nothing. He’ll tell that man then, with the same indifference displayed: I don’t hate you, but I don’t love you either, and Subaru would mean every word.
Now Subaru has no wish for anything else. The illusory smile, the deadly smirk. Same thing. Same man. Subaru will find him. Subaru will be the death of them both.
Seven years after the conclusion of the Bet, Subaru Sumeragi is sent to investigate a case in Kanazawa.

Such Great Heights by iskendaris for Animosa

Summary
“Carpal tunnel on the elbows and wrist, and tightness on the shoulders.” Deanreldy said. “Signs of strain on the median nerve, all the way up to the neck tendons.” Deanreldy sounded conversational, even casual. “I suppose the calluses on your hands can also be easily explained… or perhaps, they come from using magic?”
In an instant, Beldaruit recoiled. He slapped aside Deanreldy’s hands, twisting his entire body away. “Is this part of your scheme? Stop this at once! I refuse to be your specimen!”
Deanreldy was too clever by half. If he allowed the king to continue, Beldaruit feared that his body would somehow betray their witchly secrets. It was easy enough to hide his fear with anger, although part of the anger was directed at himself. He had let down his guard.
After the disastrous meeting, Deanreldy visits Beldaruit in private to tend to his wounds.

Summary
After the romantic poetics, then came the reality of dirty dishes stacked in short towers by the sink, books written in Liyuen and Snezhnayan alike scattered amongst half-finished cups of tea, polished brick clay next to a well-traveled samovar. On the floor, a lone sock and brown necktie escaped from their shared laundry basket. Such was the state of his current life.
The detritus of domesticity, Zhongli rejoiced in the things that didn’t belong to him; revealing how one might live, their identities in slow revelation, ambiguous and tellingly intimate, and even so, Tartaglia still chose to share it with him.
Zhongli and Childe navigate the beginnings of their new relationship, revealing more about themselves, and all that it entails.
[Set after Phantom Lines, but can be read as a stand-alone]

Summary
He'd never known anything like it before. The taste of freedom had been sweet, but it only made the fall back to reality hurt that much more. Now Subaru was left wanting, every moment of every day. Death was not the end of something, for the living. It just meant that those feelings no longer had anywhere to go.
In a way, a part of you died when you lost someone. There is a person that you are with them, and them alone. And when they are gone, that version of you ceases to exist. Hokuto took half of Subaru's soul with him, when she died. But Seishirou, too, had died in a sense — the Seishirou he knew and had fallen in love with initially did not exist.
Subaru has a death wish.
