    Summary

    Childe takes his little student’s hand in his and leads her to the cubbies so that she can pack up her things, “It’s time to go, sweetheart. Granny Ping will be waiting for you. Don’t you want to go home?”

    Childe is expecting to see Granny Ping arriving soon, but she's nowhere in sight. She really hadn’t ever been late. Frowning, Childe looks down at Guili, who is looking up at him with equal confusion in her bright eyes. She is usually the first one to be picked up during dispersal.

    “Guili… over here!” a gentle velvety voice rings through the huddle of parents greeting their children.

    Guili perks up at the sound, screaming “dada” and drags Childe towards the most ethereal man he’s ever laid his eyes on.

    Letting go of his hand, Guili immediately jumps up at the beautiful man who takes her in his arms and places a gentle kiss on her nose. Guili giggles and puts her arms around the man’s neck.

    Summary

    Zhongli, a disenchanted man languishing away as an antique store employee meets the love of his life: Childe, a bright-eyed student with strong convictions and a passionate heart that inspires the older man to give living another try.

    Then the worst happens, and he is left alone to deal with the grief of losing the one that made his life worthwhile.

    That is…until a mysterious man from another universe presents him with an artifact with the ability to manipulate time: a Vision.

    “How will I know when the time is right?”

    “You won’t. But isn’t it worth it? Isn’t he worth it?”

    Zhongli sees just how far he is willing to go to save his happiness. Even if he must die trying.

    Again, and again, and again.

    ----------
    A time-traveling story of first love, promised futures, and unyielding dedication.

    Summary

    They knew it was coming. It was a reality they couldn't change. Having made peace with that reality, they didn't resent it, nor did they question it.

    One day, Childe will pass on, while Zhongli stands ever waiting.

    (Or, Zhongli and Childe mourn their lost time before it even passes.)

    Summary

    I am Ajax of Morepesok. I will endure this. For my family, Ajax thinks, trying to force himself not to forget. He knows there were more words he needed to remember, but they are beyond him now, lost to the ever-growing fog inside his mind

    ---

    A mission gone wrong leaves Childe imprisoned in Fontaine. Stripped of his vision and delusion he starts to slowly deteriorate. What the Traveler finds months later in the depths of the grand prison of Fontaine is barely a person, a husk of a man that stares at them with empty eyes devoid of any recognition. Zhongli is there to pick up the pieces.

    Written for the Lapis Caeli Zine.
