    Summary

    "Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”

    Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.

    Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?

    Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.

    And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

    Summary

    Steve needs it on the record, for the sake of his own sanity, that he checked

    He’d touched that battle-worn cheek and it was cold; he’d reached to feel for breath at the bow of those lips and it was still; he’d leaned and pressed his goddamn ear to that blood-soaked chest and it was quiet—so quiet Steve thought he might die for it, for the way it made his ribs feel like they’d cave in and make his chest quiet, too. He checked. He checked.

    How the hell was he supposed to know that time inside this hellscape actually ran faster—even as the backdrop was stuck in ‘83—and the minutes it stole from the real world were the minutes that mattered? The kind that made the difference between life and death?

    He fucking checked.

    Or: two traumatized idiots recuperating, navigating government coverups, moving in together (sort of by circumstance, but then sort of on purpose), and figuring out the shapes love can take after it was almost (but also very-much-actually; except then not at all anymore, thank fuck) too late.

    Summary

    “Your heart’s racing,” Steve noted, quietly.

    Eddie laughed. It was more of a shaky exhale, lashes fluttering as he struggled to keep his composure. “Stevie,” he whispered, fingers cradling Steve’s side like he was precious. “Yeah, no fucking shit.”

    OR: Ma Henderson & Wayne Munson get cosy, Dustin makes an off-hand remark, and Steve spirals. It works out in the end.
