Summary
Prompt: Xiao mourns Morax and what could have been. Zhongli visits him in a dream to try to clear the air and Xiao takes it as his brain trying to soothe him. They fuck. Angst, ambigious ending, rated E, either pov, just make it hurt.
Indeed, Xiao realizes then, their lives are as long as the mountains are as old, but there had still come a day that the mountains had shuddered. The sky had fallen, plummeting from the heavens onto a broken altar, and Xiao had discovered that even the earth is not endless, that even stone will one day turn to dust.
So if this is the last chance they may be together—
"My lord,” Xiao finally manages.
Is it really that selfish… to accept this last dream of something he was never allowed to have?

Summary
Xiao seeks sleep. Zhongli, being allowed into this intimate setting for the first time, does his best to support him.
----
'Are you in pain, my love?'
My love. What a precious thing to be called, Xiao thinks; the use of pet names feels unnatural to him, awkward even, but he basks in Zhongli using them for him in the privacy of their shared time. He silently catalogues away every time Zhongli addresses him so lovingly.
'Headache won't shift,' Xiao murmurs as he reaches up to massage his temple. Just another side effect of being tired; his ever-present headache gets so much worse.

Summary
“I think you might want to check out the hot springs on Planarcadia,” Stelle said. “You know, soak in the water and do your dragon thing to relax. I’m sending you the coordinates to a public bath that has a cold water bathing area, plus a coupon code. You need to go.”
Dan Heng furrowed his brows. Why was Stelle so insistent on this?
“You should use the coupon yourself. I’ll go to the archives—”
In a flash, Stelle grabbed Dan Heng’s shoulders in a vice grip, her eyes twitching uncontrollably as she started pushing him toward the exit of the Express. “You need to go.”
