    Summary

    At Primrose Academy, magic is borrowed and the world always collects.

    For three years, Huangxing has watched Professor Qiudingjie from his windowsill at 11:45pm. To the school, he's a model senior who shifts into a black cat to "destress."

    He's lying.

    Huangxing is 28. A mimic. A thief of faces. He's worn 97 lives, and he wants Qiudingjie to be #98 not for his power, but for his silence.

    Qiudingjie should expel him. He's the Sheath forged to contain, not to want. But when he looks at Huangxing's stolen, screaming Thread, his own silent one aches for the first time in 50 years.

    The problem?

    Huangxing and Qiudingjie were never supposed to meet.

    400 years ago, the world cracked a thief in half for stealing a life. The hunger became Huangxing. The guilt became The Ledger. Qiudingjie was forged to cage the hunger when it returned.

    If they touch, the 400-year debt comes due. The well under Primrose wakes. The school falls. And they both cease to exist.

    But the night the teacup on Qiudingjie's ledge finally warms, Huangxing speaks.

    And Qiudingjie answers.

    Magic has a price. Love has a higher one. And the world is done waiting to collect.

    Summary

    Joo Jaekyung hated the rules of the society that he was living in. The Alpha was close to his 30st birthday, and every Alpha needed to be married at that age. If not, a partner would be picked out for him by the government and his life would be on hold until then.
    And for the famous MMA fighter whose entire life was his career, of course that wasn't an option. His next match was already scheduled.

    His Coach was helping him finding the right partner, but with an Alpha as rude and arrogant as Jaekyung who wasn't hiding his strong dislike for Omega's, it wasn't that easy. The Alpha didn't want to marry, but deep down he knew he had no choice.

    Only a few days before his birthday, Namwook found a suitable partner for him. Someone desperate enough to marry anyone, someone who would accept a deal in order to marry someone like Jaekyung.
    Namwook introduced Kim Dan to Jaekyung, thinking he was a Beta. The hazel eyed boy had no scent or pheromones, he wasn't making the impression that he was anything else but a Beta.

    And so, Jaekyung accepted. A Beta wouldn't be so hard to tolerate. A Beta didn't make a mess and bothered him with his heat cycle.

    Unless, the Beta wasn't a Beta....

    Summary

    In the sunset of his life, Thane Krios knows that Maria Shepard's heart lay with another - and he would never ask otherwise, especially now. But she's given him his soul back, and helped reunite him with Kolyat. While he still has time, he wishes to return the favor.

    Thane knows that Shepard only ever loved one person, so far as he could discern. Her name was Ashley Williams, and after nearly giving her life in duty on Mars, she lay in a room just down the hall recovering.

    Shepard gave him his son back. That alone makes it worth the attempt to reunite Shepard with she who once brought her joy and peace.

    Summary

    Gi-hun works for One Line banking in Busan, a company in partnership with Pool Investmemts run by none other than Director Hwang In-ho. When Gi-hun finally experiences a stroke of luck, he’s employed on a contract. Get in, earn some money, and get out, he thinks.

    If only they both knew what was coming their way, and just how far they’d go.

    _________________________________________________

    A moment passed, “I’m glad I’m here with you” Gi-hun confessed then cleared his throat, “I - I mean with this job, this firm, the team we have”. In-ho nodded and Gi-hun stared at his lips that were increasingly growing into a smile. He wished the man could smile more; it was such a pleasure to see.

    In-ho nodded, “I’m glad, too”. Then, like the perfect set-up for a K-drama, the radio played a slow ballad love song with lyrics that rang far too loudly in their silence.

    I wish I could say all that I felt,
    don’t want to waste a moment with you.
    Stolen glances, missing chances,
    I look into your eyes and know you feel it too.

    Summary

    Six months after his escape from Fatui custody, Diluc Ragnvindr has finally uncovered the identity behind the Fatui double agent who orchestrated his freedom. But the truth only spawns new questions. When a bullet meant for him was taken by the same individual, Diluc finds himself in a sanctuary hidden deep in Natlan.

    There, Diluc faces a choice: accept induction into the elite unit of the "organization from the north," operatives bound by something deeper than duty; or, fully surrender his solitary war as he slowly poisons himself with his Delusion.

    In that moment, Diluc understood that it meant becoming something he never expected to be again.

    Becoming a part of a family. A family of specialized, highly-competent operatives that wielded Visions, to be exact.

    **Part II to Part I of Theater Cygnus: A Piece on the Board. Canon-adjacent to the four years during Diluc's departure from Mondstadt and Nefer's Northern Intelligence Network; this is just my take on it. NIN is a separate entity.
