    Summary

    "You are very beautiful," Morax says. "Just because I do not remember does not mean I do not think so."

    --

    [Amnesia AU:] The one formerly known as the Geo Archon wakes up to a world he has yet to see, in bed with a stranger he has yet to meet, and something beyond the obvious is not right. AKA Zhongli loses 2000 years worth of memories, so he is not really Zhongli anymore—he is Morax.

    Summary

    “What is it that has brought you to Liyue?”, he asks, as if Childe knew the answer to that himself.

    “Well, it has been - what? - more than a year since I’ve left here, I believe”. Childe stares at his steaming cup of tea. Even if he tries avoiding those golden eyes, he can see their reflection in the mixture in his hands. It bothers him. “I happened to be in the vicinity when I remembered that time has almost come for Lantern Rite to adorn the city. So, I thought I’d visit for a short amount of time. Outside of work, that is”. Dull blue eyes stare back at him from the cup he holds, almost mockingly so. Why has he come here, anyway? What’s even left here? A vain attempt at nostalgia?

    "It has been two years since you have left."
    Childe huffs. As if it matters.

    Summary

    Contrary to popular belief, the eccentric Mr. Zhongli was a most ordinary man, with the most ordinary pleasures life can offer: strolls along the harbor at dusk, tea shared in agreeable company, and love for the freedom-loving foreigner.

    Summary

    A series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)

    Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
    Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
    Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
    Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
    Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
    Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
    Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.

    [This has a limit, so new chapters will have their description at the beginning of the chapter instead]

    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.
