Summary
“I like the kind of person who doesn’t flinch when I look them in the eye, who doesn’t back down.” Childe’s grip on his tie tightens, eye to eye, blue to gold. “Someone strong enough to match me and ambitious enough to enjoy the...challenge.”
Zhongli’s rationality is swallowed by that soft ocean scent, his lungs clogged by the shimmering heat that drenches the air.
“Is that what you are?” he murmurs. “A challenge?”
“I think you’ll find, Mr. Zhongli, that I am the greatest challenge you will ever face.” Childe’s lips are a sin, hovering over his, apple-sweet temptation. “Will you back down now?”
And Zhongli, cursing himself, does not back down.
Childe is a dangerous crime boss threatening the peace of Liyue. Zhongli is the retired intelligence agent sent to infiltrate his organization and bring him to justice.
But beneath Childe’s many masks, Zhongli finds a lost soul who yearns for redemption, and beyond Zhongli’s steadfast duty, Childe finds a tired soldier who yearns for a home.

Summary
Sara stops in her tracks. Childe nearly runs into her before he stops and takes a step back.
“Sara? You good?”
“Do you know what a beard is?”
The non-sequitur makes Childe cross his arms and furrow his brow. “You mean the hair on your chin?”
“No, you idiot.” She shakes her head, turning around. “A beard. Like, two gay people getting into a relationship so people think they’re straight.”
“Oh.”
(Or, Childe and Sara pretend to date each other. Unfortunately, Sara doesn't know how to not simp for Baal, and Childe doesn't know why talking about it with Zhongli is so hard.)

Summary

Xiao reads the title and subheader once, twice, three times, before it fully registers.
“Fuck.”

Summary
Alhaitham finishes his novel. He dozes against the same window, smudged from where his cheek constantly presses against it. The other man completes sketch after sketch, traces racing raindrops with his fingertips, mutters to himself as he flips through notebooks. Leaves turn to fire then die in the fading sunset, until their evening rides are taken in darkness. Day in, day out, the comfort of their cyclical monotony perpetuates.
Until one blustery morning.
❅
Alhaitham's days are easy rituals. He doesn't realize, until one occurs, that he's desperately needed the disruption.
