    Summary

    Just when Shigeo thinks he can forget and move on, reality comes back to remind him.

    The heart keeps score.

    (Or, the one where Shigeo's injuries from Mogami's twisted world become scars on his physical body, and the people who love him don't let him walk alone.)

    Absolutely incredible emulation of anxiety, fear, and the difficulties of opening up, with nothing short of wonderful characterization. Amazing work.

    Summary


    “It’s a measure of one’s self, Mr Zhongli.” Childe says. “Maybe you don’t understand it since you work as a consultant, but as an ambassador from the Tsaritsa, as one who fights in her name— this is how I learn to know the measure of myself.”

    “I understand,” Zhongli says thoughtfully. “It is a warrior’s way, to test one’s strength against the incomparable. To find where one falls short. To find where one has risen to the challenge.”


    In which Childe has insomnia, vandalizes public property and runs into a mysterious funeral consultant on his first night in Liyue.

    Some of the most beautiful prose I have read. A clear, incredible amount of thought established within every word. Outstanding job.

    Summary

    The Iudex is ready to try his hand at romance - at least the concept of romance, at least in a general sense. Fortunately, Wriothesley is well-versed in both suffering the consequences and reaping the rewards of Neuvillette's more unusual impulses. Neuvillette/Wriothesley.

    "No harm in finding a little extra time for yourself now and again," Wriothesley murmurs. "Take it from me."

    Ah, there goes Neuvillette's smile again, and Wriothesley turns his attention to the statue to avoid losing his train of thought completely. "From what I hear, you've become something of a master at ferreting out such moments for yourself."

    Wriothesley chuckles. "Moments, hours, even whole afternoons if the stars align. No one better to tutor our hardworking Iudex then, yes?"

    "Perhaps so — though I suspect you might find me a hopelessly stubborn pupil."

    "Of that I have no doubt. Fortunate then, that I've been known to take up a challenge if the reward is suitable."

    In the periphery, he sees Neuvillette's head tilt, then turn slowly in his direction. "And what would such a reward be, Wriothesley?"

    A most riveting story between two formal, touch-starved men who unapologetically have light banter in midst of a theater ton of porn—that they reenact in the most prestigious Iudex’s home. Fantastic work.

    A flower that blooms into what is some of the most heart-rendering, capturing prose

    Summary

    Wriothesley whines, a pitiful sound that would send most alphas running, but Neuvillette cups his cheek and laughs, pecking his lips before pulling away. “The muzzle, then. This will take a moment. Lift your head, please.”

    Fitting it takes trial and error. Neuvillette positions the muzzle around his face gently. The bit tamps Wriothesley's tongue down. Not even a half moment in, drool pools at the corners of his mouth, leaking down his chin. Neuvillette sweeps his thumb through it, knowing it's a fruitless effort.

    Wriothesely and Neuvillette have some fun with handcuffs and a muzzle.
