    Summary

    An accidental magical bonding isn't how Childe wanted to become a father, but parents don't really get to choose their children, do they? He's only giving up a year of his life, just until the baby can bond with her birth father, but it's still a year of his life. Besides, he and Zhongli aren't on the best of terms--not any more--and now, they're stuck raising a baby together. It's alright, though. It has to be. And all he has to do is not get attached.

    (Aka: Childe accidentally bonds himself to a baby adeptus, tries not to get attached, and then gets very attached.)

    Summary

    Celestia has a way of dealing with mortals who treat gods in an undignified way. One such curse, ‘hanahaki’, causes the heretical being in love with a god to cough up flowers until they die.
    Tartaglia had resigned himself to being incapable of love.
    But if this curse is to be believed…
    his desire to draw out,
    to fight Rex Lapis…

     


    Childe- Childe?”
    Zhongli is as refined as ever, the perfect picture of patience and serenity, even as he watches Childe zone out, his mind straying far from his body,
    He’s beautiful.
    In a few weeks, Childe will die because he cannot love anyone but a god he has never even seen the face of.
    But for now, Zhongli is smiling and radiant, and Childe can pretend the flowers tangling in his throat are for him.
    Childe smiles back.

     

    Or, Childe cannot fathom Zhongli being Rex Lapis, so he deludes himself into believing the desire to fight Rex Lapis is love, especially since he doesn't think he's capable of love in the first place.
    (A retelling of Childe and Zhongli's stories, with the addition of hanahaki.)

    Summary

    What if Dimitri never pulled himself together after the Tragedy of Duscur and the murder of his parents? What if he never attended the Officer’s Academy at Garreg Mach Monastery, but instead went hunting down those behind the Tragedy of Duscur? And what if he couldn’t do it alone? What if he needed to retain the services of a legendary mercenary: the Ashen Demon?

    Summary

    Coffee so good, you'll want to leave your spouse for it!

    Rin's been banned from multiple coffee houses in the area. When he comes across the newest one in town, first impressions don't leave high hopes, but the rather stoic barista is actually pretty damn good at making coffee...

    Kink Meme Prompt:
    Rin is the type who goes into any coffee shop with an extremely anal and specific order in mind and throws a fit whenever his drink if off to even the slightest degree. He orders his disgustingly customized drink at a new shop where an indifferent boy named Haruka works. Despite being a bit snarky, Haru gives Rin a perfectly made drink and the redhead leaves satisfied. As he leaves the shop, he notices his name written on the cup as 'Rinrin'. He goes back everyday.
