    Summary

    When Lady Ningguang proposes a contest while rebuilding the Jade Chamber, half of Liyue rushes to take part. The winner must bring Sunset Vermillionite, Wonder Cores, and Adepti Sigils. Few people have heard of the first two items, and as for the sigils, it’s hard enough to locate an Adeptus, let alone convince it to give a boon. Who in the world could possibly amass such a huge number of sigils in a short amount of time? …Wait a second.

    (AU version of The Crane Returns on the Wind, with accompanying spoilers)

    Summary

    In which Zhongli experiences the depths of Childe's love for fishing and fish paraphernalia (read: Childe is quickly transforming into an overenthusiastic fishing bro). Nonetheless, Zhongli tries to be a supportive partner with mixed results.

    Based on the hilarious fanart by maylingorange (Twt) featuring Childe wearing the most ridiculous fishing swag: https://twitter.com/maylingorange/status/1536917538864521216

    Summary

    "Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”

    Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.

    Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?

    Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.

    And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

    Summary

    There is a popular game in Snezhnaya, one that originates as an activity to keep children occupied during the long winter days stuck indoors while arctic winds howl outside, knocking against doors and windows and carrying with it a violent storm of ice and frost. The game has since been adopted into a drinking game by bored young adults similarly trapped inside those cold, dark grueling months.

    The game’s rules go something like this. Each person takes a turn telling two truths and one lie about themselves while the rest of the participants have to pluck out the lie. If the guessers guessed wrong, the person telling the information gets the point. If the guesser guessed right, then the person gets no points.

    There is no real end to this game. Children play it until they become bored, adults play it until they become drunk.

    Childe plays it until…

    Come to think of it, Childe’s not entirely sure why he’s playing.

    --

    A Childe introspection story where he tries to find his heart.

    Summary

    “Gregor, babe, it's too loud,” She says, quiet enough as to not disrupt the uplifted mood in the bus. The rest were simply happy to have gotten the combat over with. “Don’tcha think it would be a good idea for us to take this elsewhere?”
    “Mm.” He hums in agreement. “You don't need to ask me permission, you know.”
    “Yeahh, but you're coming with me.”
    Rodion winks, and Gregor sputters in an attempt to find a valid argument. Even so, he gives in rather quickly, huffing out an exasperated sigh. As if he was kicking himself for being vulnerable to her flattery.

    Aka a prompt for a most likely sporadic kinktober
