ganyu/keqing (ganqing) slow burn, drama & romance 12/12 chapters (complete), 72k words, rated t

In the aftermath of Rex Lapis's departure, Keqing rushes to strengthen Liyue's infrastructure and trade routes. Her first project takes her on a survey trip to a site north of Qingce Village. Despite Keqing's protests and doubts, Ganyu comes along to help in lieu of her usual entourage of assistants. The two of them couldn't be more different, but a week together has its way of unearthing secrets and words they never thought they would say to anyone, let alone to each other.

Passage: Ch. 5

AO3 LINK

“‘At the sight of these words, people should leave immediately, as they should at the sight of the adeptus,’” Keqing reads the last portion aloud as Ganyu joins her, and shoots her a half-amused look. “Well. I’m reading these words, and I see an adeptus—clearly I’m doubly unwanted here,” she remarks.

Ganyu laughs and takes her hand and kisses the back of it, over her glove. “There,” she declares. “You have my express permission to be here.”

Keqing grins. “What an honor.”

Pairing: Ganyu/Keqing Rating: M Summary: The past eleven years of Keqing and Ganyu’s relationship have been beautifully, wonderfully mundane. But despite the house they share, despite the safety of the love they have, despite the life they’ve built together, they remain well aware that Keqing is human, and Ganyu is not. They know, but are unprepared for, the pain that will bring.

Keqing has struggled—with small success—to make her peace with being unable to resolve this, and continues to try. She never expects Ganyu to present a solution: one that intertwines with Liyue’s ancient secrets, and that asks her to make decisions that will very literally change both of their lives.

ganqing pacific rim au ft. ganyu as a flyboy and former jaeger pilot who retired after mentor/copilot zhongli was injured in combat (and was forced to retire) + keqing as a jaeger pilot currently suspended for disobeying direct orders on a mission, which resulted in zhongli’s injury. ganyu resents keqing but their kwoon battles say they’re highly drift compatible...

Passage: Ch. 4

AO3 LINK

Wednesday evening over dinner, Keqing asks, “Do you ever find it absurd to think about? Me, of all people, as an adeptus?”

Ganyu giggles over her bowl of rice. “Yes,” she admits. “But you’re full of surprises.”

Keqing frowns. “I thought you said I was predictable.”

“Somehow, you manage to be both,” Ganyu replies. Her voice brims, then overflows, with fondness.

“Most?” Ganyu echoes.

Madame Ping waves, a flourish of her fingers. “I’m only playing at being humble, dear. I know all of the adepti—all the old folks at least. Now, if any of them are off, oh, you know, finding love and raising children, it would be very kind of them to inform me. Idle time is best filled with gossip!”

Keqing only catches on to the implications of Madame Ping’s words and mischievous stare when Ganyu stammers out, “I—I’m sure they would, if they did.”

“Wonderful.” Madame Ping beams.
