    Summary

    “I understand my own nature,” he said, eyebrows arched, “that doesn’t mean I’m not a slave to it. Just because you understand gravity, it doesn’t mean that you can choose not to abide it.”

    “Gravity is not the same as killing,” Neuvillette countered. “You speak too lightly about killing people.”

    “Killing people is easy,” Ajax replied. “And I happen to be good at it. Now keeping people alive. Keeping people happy. That’s a tall order, alright, but that’s what your nature says you should do, doesn’t it?”

    “I am more than just impulse,” Neuvillette pointed out. “And I suspect, so are you.”

    Summary

    Childe's life post the Osial incident has settled into something of normalcy. He has a comfortable (if not a bit boring) 9-5 job at the bank, he has loads of free time to waste, and he gets to experience whatever Liyue has to offer, at his own pace, frequently accompanied by Zhongli.

    However, this idyllic picture is shattered the day Childe receives a letter from the Tsaritsa, summoning him back to Snezhnaya, immediately.

    He is crushed by the news. He has expected it – it was bound to happen, eventually, but the message still daunts him. How is he supposed to say goodbye to Liyue so suddenly? How is he going to say goodbye to Zhongli, the only person he can call a friend?

    To his surprise, the god offers to travel with him, and so they set on a journey to the northern lands of everwinter. They just forget about one important thing – reptiles don’t do well in freezing cold.

    Which is why Childe now has to deal with his own grumpy Archon, the constant scheming and bickering of the other Harbingers, and a very sleepy and very clingy dragon.

    Summary

    Ajax, having been deformed and spit out of the Abyss as a creature of the unknown, struggles to adjust back into casual, mundane life. A group of strange people are there for him to lean on; they’re nice, they feed and water and clothe him, teach him things he long since deemed useless in the Abyss.

    It is nice. And slow. And monotonous, and makes the itching under his skin burn ever brighter.

    Summary

    In which Wriothesley, owner of a wildlife rescue and sanctuary, rescues a weird-looking not-gopher in a pool, which leads him down a strange mystery involving a government conspiracy, an illegal smuggling ring, and a Iudex that has disappeared from the office, sending Fontaine in a frenzy. Little does he know, the missing Iudex Neuvillette is a lot closer to him than he realizes.

    (All he has to do is look closer at the fluffy otter creature currently curled against his chest, shamelessly using his pecs as his pillow.)
