    Summary

    Men are a thing of the past, practically a myth at this point. Lumine's kingdom is composed entirely of women, for better or for worse. At least, it was until Ajax showed up.

    Summary

    They met in-game, and fell in love over voice chat. For Lumine and Tartaglia, two CS students, a relationship is basically a co-op raid on Hard mode. Their idea of a perfect date is a 12-hour Dota 2 marathon, and the best gift isn't flowers—it's a rare skin.

    But when reality starts glitching their cozy pixel world, they face the hardest quest of all: finding out what’s left of their love when one of them presses "Exit"

    Summary

    And even as a dead god’s corpse crashes onto the altar, as his well-laid plans crumble into dust around his ears, as the air fills with cries of rage and despair, her skirts fluttering behind her as the Traveller pivots to flee—

    All Childe feels is the siren-song pulse thumping in his veins.

    Omega. Omega, Omega.

    (It is only the beginning.)

    or

    Alpha Childe falls helplessly in love with the Traveller. The Omega does not appreciate it.

    Summary

    “I am your brothers intended,” she breathes.

    He smiles, lazy. The indolent curve of a predator. "Everything in these lands is mine, Lumine. And that includes you."

    In a land where strength is law, and her people die in the name of a god that is not theirs, the Eleventh reigns with an iron fist.

    She is nobody. A slave. A war-bride brought to the empire in exchange for a life-debt. All she wants is to be ignored and forgotten.

    The Eleventh Harbinger has other plans.

    Summary

    Sometimes sleepless nights lead to strange conversations.

    "Should I be worried about the trouble you're causing?" she prods.
    Childe shakes his head with an expression that is almost rueful.
    "I wish. No, just passing through."
    "Pinkie promise?"
    He lets out an awkward laugh, stretching out his hand. Lumine locks her finger with his—the soft leather of his glove is slightly cool to the touch. This is silly but perhaps silly is what she needs right now.
    "I most solemnly swear I don't mean harm to anyone in Sumeru." He looks mischievous and serious at the same time, like a teenager.
