    Summary

    A mercenary. The "Ashen Demon", known for cutting through enemies with a blank expression all the while on her face. An emotionless child only a father can love.

    Then she finds herself within the walls of Garreg Mach Monastery, surrounded by cheerful faces and earnest voices. Ones that spark a warmth in her chest, spreading from the inside out.

    Time is lost, and now she's in the midst of a war. Innocence is scarce and the years have chipped away at the soft shells of those she has come to understand as 'friends'.

    Through it all, there is a lone smile. A bright one with all the radiance of the sun. It's a smile which makes her think that one day, she'll know what it feels like to have a heart that beats.

    { On semi-hiatus. }

    Summary

    A drifter who doesn’t know his name, a General caught in an endless cycle of regret, and a mercenary wielding a sharp blade and an even sharper tongue.

    Those three personalities can’t possibly mesh well - Or can they?

    No. The answer is no.

    Rover, Jiyan, and Calcharo get up to mischief, chaos, heartache and heartbreak, steaming sex, and - maybe - a little romance. Not necessarily in that order, though.

    “How about no one fucks anyone else for a change?” Jiyan finally said in an exasperated sigh.
    “You’ve been doing well at that,” Rover said, bitter.
    Jiyan threw him an angry glower.
    Then Calcharo surprised everyone when he said, “Actually, might be for the best. Until our work is done, I’ll stay put.”
    “Seriously?” Jiyan asked incredulously.
    “What do you want, a pinky fucking promise?” The mercenary barked.
    That left the man between them.
    “Does it even matter what I say in this case?” Rover stubbornly asked and crossed his arms. The others stared and waited until he added, “Fine!”

    Summary

    "That cough still sounds awful...Did you take any cold medicine?"
    "Don’t need to, I don’t have a- *cough cough cough cough*"
    "Dunno man, sounds like a cold..."
    "No, it’s not. And we are too broke for cold medicine."
    "I think it’s very inspiring that you believe pure denial can conquer the common cold. I’ll take a leaf out of your book when I inevitably catch it. "
    "Idiots can’t catch colds."

    When Lu Guang comes down with pneumonia, the fever dreams have him convinced he's drowning, and Cheng Xiaoshi would do anything to make him feel better.

    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.
