    Summary

    The Ferrylady glances down at the resume and wrinkles her brow. “Work experience: Eleventh Fatui Harbinger— 4 years. Strengths: fighting, leadership, and ‘dealing with dead bodies, if you know what I mean.’ Hobbies: ice fishing.” She puts down the paper. “That’s all?”

    Childe nods excitedly, like a puppy wagging its tail. “Yeah! Am I hired?”

    In which Childe gets a job at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao has some new tricks up her sleeve, and Zhongli releases a Xiao Lantern for the first time.

    Summary

    “The men’s singles champion of the Grand Prix Final, making history as the first to ratify the quad axel.”

    The glint of copper on a ring finger, glittering in the stadium lights; the screech of silver skates on the ice, drowned out by the roaring crowd; the golden surface of the medal, polished and shining, rivaled only by the brightest amber eyes, shimmering with the glow of unshed tears.

    The first time that Zhongli had cried on the ice, and the first time that Childe met the skater he would come to love one day.

    //

    “Why, Tartaglia, win the Olympics, and I’ll be your coach. If you don’t, I’ll retire.”

    “I’ll make it worth your time, Zhongli, so don’t you dare think about retiring.”

    “Win,” Zhongli whispers, eyes narrowed, “beat me, and prove that you mean what you just said.”

    “I’ll win, and when I do, I’ll win with the quad axel for you.”

    //

    A love story blossoming over eight years, four (and a half) rotations, two winters, and a copper ring.

    Summary

    Ajax has a brain that builds cases in the dark. Against the morning. Against the thing lasting. Against the possibility that being wanted and being useful are not, actually, the same.

    Zhongli stays anyway.

    Summary

    Childe cups his jaw, runs the edge of his thumb into Zhongli’s lips. “What do you want?”

    The amber in his eyes is impossibly tender. A heated shiver licks Childe’s spine.

    “I want you to kiss me,” Zhongli whispers, leaning down so their mouths are scant apart.

    Stolen moments from the life of an unlikely family: a former God, a Harbinger, and their half-human, half-dragon kids.
