As the crowd launched into their final, dramatic verse, a tuba booming and the melody slowing, Zhongli turned to Helen.

โ€œExcuse me,โ€ he said. โ€œI do not wish to be presumptuous, but I was under the impression that the target of our operations was a singular operative of a criminal operation, rather than a theatre troupe?โ€

Helen stared at him blankly and blinked once. โ€It is a singular man.โ€ She pointed to the tap dancing fellow. โ€œItโ€™s him, heโ€™s the one who started this. We havenโ€™t had a dayโ€™s peace since he started all this nonsense. All over a new door colour painting policy. Itโ€™s ridiculous.โ€

โ€œI see.โ€ Zhongli did not see. There was supposed to be a mob, not a choir and dance ensemble. โ€œApologies for my presumptuousness, but did you not mention that this young man was also the ringleader of some manner of mob troubling your town?โ€

She squinted at him, and Zhongli had the strange sensation that heโ€™d just said something she considered quite foolish. โ€œThat was the mob, sir.โ€

Outside the window, the troupe echoed with a final, rousing note, the red-head front and centre as his co-conspirators harmonised around him. โ€œI have never seen a mob quite like it,โ€ he said, taking the most diplomatic answer he could think of.

Hello all, I've just gotten back from holiday, and I was having some trouble posting fics etc from there, so I'll be trying to catch up with everything asap. I've not disappeared, just had weird technology access for the past couple weeks ๐Ÿ˜†

Post image โ€œAi ya, whatโ€™s this?โ€ His employer, the young Director Hu, stands in the doorway, staring at the scattering of petals, her eyes wide. Then she clicks her tongue, shakes her head and says, โ€œItโ€™s that Fatui boy, isnโ€™t it? You two havenโ€™t spoken to each other since he released that monster into our harbour.โ€

His first instinct is to deny it. His health is not her responsibility, but his alone, and for all those thousands of years, responsibility was a weight to shoulder alone, and to impose upon his subjects the mark of an unsuitable god. But the petals and blood spell the truth plainly, and to deny his affliction would be an insult to her intelligence.

โ€œIndeed,โ€ he says. โ€œBut it is no matter that you should concern yourself with.โ€

โ€œNot a matter to concern myself with? Ai ai ai!โ€ She marches across the room and plants a hand on the desk, raising the other to waggle a finger at Zhongli. โ€œMy favourite consultant is trying to land himself in one of my coffins, thatโ€™s definitely a problem. Eesh, and you havenโ€™t even asked me about the two for one deal.โ€

you posted a thought or hc with a little fic? Would you even want that, or would you prefer they keep it to themselves? These things are a mystery to me, internet is confusing ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Sometimes I see a moot write a really cool idea or hc on here and get a little fic idea, but I can't ever write it fast enough that I feel weird dragging up an old post by the time I get round to it ๐Ÿ˜ญ Idk, would you find it weird if a writer moot came back like a month after---

now, let me introduce you to a fic I've been writing like possessed since yesterday evening: #zhongchili very incorrect historically roaring twenties au, featuring childe as nepo mobster (with a dream to be a movie star) and zhongli as stock market shark, too rich and too arrogant for his own good

The rose gardens spread out before them. Beneath the starlit sky, everything is silvered and ethereal, and Mydei thinks it the loveliest thing heโ€™s ever seen until blue-eyed Kephale touches his jaw. In the starlight, his eyes are shadowed, but the planes of his face are even more defined, and he is hauntingly beautiful beneath his mask.

โ€œThis place is beautiful,โ€ Mydei says.

โ€œAnd yet it pales in comparison to you,โ€ blue-eyed Kephale murmurs, his thumb brushing against Mydeiโ€™s lower lip.

His breath catches. โ€œHow many others have you led to this place to flatter with that line?โ€ he asks.

โ€œYou wouldnโ€™t believe me.โ€ 

โ€œNo?โ€ 

โ€œNo. For I have shared this place with only you.โ€

Should have the outline for my next longfic polished off sooon. ๐Ÿ™ It's been fun returning to the classic Liyue Archon Quest era, combined with a murder mystery timeloop feat Ekaterina.

Childe runs.

Bullets ricochet off the filing cabinets as he ducks into the next row. He dodges left, sprints to the next opening, then right. He needs distance and angles to buy him time to make a plan.

Escaping is out of the questionโ€”the only way out is via the staircase, but Rybakov knows that too; if he tries to escape that way, heโ€™s dead. But killing Rybakov outright is no better; the CCTV cameras arenโ€™t angled in this direction, and heโ€™ll have no way to prove he hasnโ€™t murdered Rybakov in cold blood upon being discovered sneaking around the archive. The authorities wonโ€™t go easy on that.

Itโ€™s a death sentence either way.
