    Summary

    Three minutes and forty-three seconds. That's how late Midland City's Alhaitham was to the bar where he was supposed to stumble upon Kaveh and take him home.

    One minute and twenty-four seconds. That's how long Kaveh had been gone by the time he finally arrived. The moment passed, the chance at reconciliation passing with it.

    Oh well. It's not like HaiKaveh is a lode-bearing wall of the universe or anything.

    Wait. Where's Tighnari? Why hasn't Zhongli showed up to temper Tartaglia's awful personality? And what are all these Rifthounds doing in the middle of Midland City? Does the whole of reality really depend on two emotionally stunted know-it-alls getting over themselves and making out?!

    The Gods have a plan to fix this mess. Rip an Alhaitham who got it right out of his own world - Teyvat will do - set him down in Midland City, and tell him to hop to it with the flirting business. Right. Because Alhaitham, in any universe, is known for being so good at taking orders....

    Or: A Half-AU Half-Teyvat fic where Alhaitham has to convince Kaveh to fall into his waiting arms, or the world is literally over.

    Summary

    A week before Ajax turns 23, he almost floods a country.

    Almost is the key word there, but he doesn't think anyone cares for him pointing it out.

    Injured, seething, and heartbroken, Ajax can’t even lick his wounds in solitude — there’s still work to be done, bridges to mend. With opportunists at every corner, he can trust no one but himself, no matter what his heart begs him to consider.

    Zhongli was sent to Tartaglia as retribution for the village. He was pleasantly surprised that he actually enjoyed Tartaglia's company.

    Maybe a little bit too much.

    Summary

    On his way out of the Golden House, Childe overhears a conversation between Signora and Zhongli. After realizing that his fellow Harbinger and Morax himself were co-conspiring against him all along, he refuses to be thrown under the cart and decides to rip their plans to shreds by defeating Osial himself and becoming Liyue’s saviour.

    Or: Childe’s spite earns him godhood.

    Summary

    Childe like to drown his feeling. Literally.

    After Osial, he frequently goes to lakes, usually Luhua Pool. Making sure no one is around before stepping into the water. He'll float a bit before taking a deep breath and let himself sink.

    Before, back in the abyss, inside the water is where he feels most safe, apart from his Master's side.

    But here in Liyue, there’s no Master.

    It aches something terrible in Ajax's chest, because Liyue used to be warm. It almost feels like home.

    But no more.

    So he returns to the water, where it feels more safe, much like a creature of the depth he truly is inside.

    When he emerges, everything will be muffled either from lack of oxygen or the after-effect of the underwater silence. There'll be dizziness, but it is worth it for the few moments in which he becomes one with hydro. Free from thoughts of his mission, about Zhongli, about Liyue.

    But of course, nothing lasts. Not for him. Ajax is never that lucky.

    One of Zhongli's Adepti saw him.

     

    [In which a series of misunderstandings and well-meaning friends hilariously push Zhongli and Childe to finally do their overly waited reunion.]
