    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.

    Summary

    “You’re doing it wrong.” Accusation, a wet hiccup in her throat. She’s seen people grooming wings—Fischl and Razor picking debris out of Bennets ivory and ink feathers, Xiangling’s father brushing soot out of her dark-blue down. Tears prick her eyes from his hands on her, the sheer sensation. “It’s not—it’s not like this when the others do it—”

    “Then you should have asked one of them to help before your wings got to this state. Look at you,” he tsks, sinking a thumb into a persistent knot in her neck. “Just needed someone to pin you down and take care of you, huh, baby?”

    Summary

    She was standing at the far end of the shooting range, all pastel and pigtails, adjusting the scope on a .50 cal like she was adjusting the setting of her curling iron. I watched her pull the trigger, hit dead center, then blow a bubble with her strawberry gum and smile like she didn't just break my record and steal my heart in the same breath. I think that was the exact moment I fell in love... and possibly discovered a kink I didn't even know I had.

     

     

    It starts with a broken shooting record and a wild night he's never forgotten.

    When Ajax -- hired gun for the Bratva -- meets Lumine, it's lust (or love) at first sight.
    Now, they're tangled in something hot, dangerous, and bound to implode.

    Fortunately, Ajax has never had reservations about spilling a little blood. And a love like theirs comes with a body count.

    Summary

    A slip of the tongue leads to Childe discovering that someone else is also trying to seduce Lumine to the dark side.
    This prompts only a bit of murderous intent and a smidge of evil plotting.

    Summary

    The walk is short. Lumine finds herself close despite her better efforts, and once at her door, Lord Tartaglia pauses. His mouth parts as he considers something. Finally, he says, “If it is not too presumptuous to inquire, are you sure that we have never met?”

    Lumine stills. A hot feeling strikes through her. She thinks of hands against her waist, pulling her close to a solid weight; of lips against her own, and soft, sweet murmurings of not her name, but—

    “Starlight,” whispers a voice in her skull.

    When Lumine goes to an old estate for work, she swears that she's been there before. Written for Time and Again, a Chilumi Zine.

    Summary

    All the university student wanted was a night to be someone other than herself. Lumine wanted to be desired by the wicked touch of a handsome stranger whose sweet words set her heart on fire. One night to be whoever they both wanted to be— it was an evening's impulse that should have ended the moment the sun rose.

    But, the man who locked eyes with her from the court had no intention of leaving it there. Childe would not be denied who he wanted, even if that someone was the sister of one of his greatest rivals.

    Summary

    Lumine hated Childe.

    Ever since high school and into college, the two of them had been neck and neck at the top of their class. While Lumine put 110% of her effort into her academics, it was once in a blue moon that Childe broke 50%. His knowing smile, the way he always slung his arm around her shoulder, his indifference at his consistent success - she hated it all.

    She hated him. She hated him.

    So when she realized that they were assigned to the same room on Dr. Kaveh's field trip, all hell broke loose.

    Summary

    There's a certain pleasure in being accompanied by a Fatui Harbinger. Childe cuts through the enemies like the paper they are, and once the room is clear he looks around like a kid would stare at an empty box of chocolates, sad that there are none left.
    Lumine finds his cheerful social mask grating but he looks like a living tempest in battle. Something pure. He fights with a kind of ruthless grace that borders on artistry and Lumine can appreciate mastery when she sees it.

     

    Labyrinth Warriors chilumi edition.

    I keep thinking of how Childe's passive talent increases normal attack level for everyone in the party and how there should be a lore explanation for this and I have two versions.
    First: he explains techniques to people.
    Second: he's just very annoying and angry people put more strength in their blows.
    It's probably both.

    Summary

    He’s the eleventh harbinger—an enemy on paper, and something else in truth. Friends is too simple a word, even if he declares himself hers all too easily with that charming smile.

    She may have come here to find him, but that doesn't mean she trusts him. Only a fool would think they matter in the face of his true loyalties.

    Which is why when she goes to sleep in her cell one night, the last thing she expects is to wake up to him in her bed, with his cock sheathed inside her.

    or

    lumine, childe and a world where everything is the same except for what isn't.

    Summary

    His face was placid, satisfied, even though she had him pinned to the wall. He looked down at her through his lashes, daring her to come closer. To show the emotion he so craved from her—any emotion other than that cool front she had been putting up for weeks on end.

    “Don’t play these games with me,” she breathed, her voice low and chiding.

    To that, he scoffed. Laughed, even. “You set the board. I’m just a player.”

    Lumine had the school heartthrob, their star basketball player, wrapped around her finger. She found it intoxicating to watch him reel beneath her, coming undone at the flick of her wrist. She was a nobody in the eyes of the general public, yet she found herself in a position to be everything to him.

    Unfortunately for her, Childe soon finds out that two can play this game.

    Tartaglia is infamous for his depraved ideas but this—

    (“I can't believe you, Ajax—”

    “That's not what the letter says, is it, girlie?”)

    this is definitely more outlandish than the others.

    Or: Ajax and Lumine, and a certain letter they read together.
