Kyoutani yelped in shock, looking up. Yahaba Shirgeru had one foot dangling into Kyoutani's grave and the other resting on top the gravestone, where he was sitting. He had a book open in one hand and a black umbrella resting in the crook of his elbow to keep him dry. "Good to see getting stabbed in the head didn't do too much to your brain," Yahaba said with that rehearsed, indifferent calmness, flipping a page in his book. "I saw you die, last week." .:*:. Kyoutani Kentarou hasn't been in Japan for a long time. However, when he finally decides to come back, the first interesting thing that happens is his murder, after he got abducted by a zombie-fanatic cult. After a few days, he finds himself resurrected as a zombie by his old friend, Yahaba Shigeru. Years have passed and both men are different now; Kyoutani's even more different than before, now that his heart no longer beats. But both are back to kick some cultist ass and insult people, despite some loose ends between the two... ~ {Book One of Come Lie With My Bones}

For Childe, the only thing more difficult than completing a mission in a nation where he's hated, is completing a mission in a nation where he's being threatened with imminent deportation. Out of alternatives and with failure not an option, the only way he can hope to remain in Liyue is by entering a relationship with one of its' residents. He can think of only one person eccentric enough to go along with such a suggestion. OR: The inherent awkwardness of undertaking a secret mission while falling in love with the guy you're fake dating for your residency permit. Cover art commissioned from 1ss1k1_gn on Twitter!

Shirabu needs a fake date to prove he's not still in love with his ex. Cliqué i know. But what else was he supposed to do? And it's not like he, or anyone else, knew the consequences of that. ~ "Semi... are you mad at me?" "...No." "Don't lie to me." "We've kissed before, right? What's so different about this one?"

Giyuu was suffering with his mental strength. Though he didnt tell anyone. It was only after his attempt that others seemed to actually care. But a certain someone cares more about him than Giyuu thinks. Now Giyuu and Sanemi have to both find a way to admit their feelings. But how is the real question..!Read and find out. CHARACTERS BELONG TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNER (This story is going to have a changing plot, so this description will be the main focus but other things will take place that have no relevance to the title.)

Oikawa leans back in his seat with a lazy smirk, "you're hoping there would be a next time?" "Asshole." Iwaizumi spats. "Babe." "Fuck you." "I'm not stopping you."
