fffx is such a strange beast of an exchange. The creation period alone is 7 months, so with nominations, sign-ups, and the anonymous period, the exchange is active for more time in the year than it isn't. This time around, we got assignments way back in August, so it feels almost surreal that gifts have finally been exchanged.
As someone who doesn't usually receive treats, I was blown away to receive three incredible gifts:
this sharing is what we both now need [Genshin Impact] Explicit, 5k words
Old Stars [Genshin Impact] General Audiences, 12k words
Living Just [Alice in Borderland] Explicit, 11k words
I was planning to make this my last exchange for a while, but right now I'm just a little caught up in the exchange magic. Time to go check out the other works in the collection!

Xiao asks Morax to punish him. Morax obliges.A smutty zhongxiao fic involving caning, D/S, and that deep understanding and care between Zhongli and Xiao that makes the pairing perfect:
Old Stars [Genshin Impact] General Audiences, 12k words
"Times have changed." Zhongli smiled, nostalgia evident in his eyes. "Liyue Harbour is but a memory of the past. Perhaps the name Liyue is an old-fashioned one, but I always have loved the city dearly. No matter what face it takes on, at its heart, the city will always be Liyue to me in some form. And that is why I named the teahouse after it."A plotty zhongxiao fic that makes excellent use of outsider POV. Set in a cozy teashop AU that nevertheless manages a mindblowing exploration of Genshin lore. I seriously had shivers by the end.The owner of Liyue Teahouse is traditional, refined, and seemingly older than he looks. As for how old… quite a bit older than expected, as one of his regulars comes to find out.

Kuzuryu joined games every three days, like everyone else.
Not only are the games a refreshing change from the reader fics that make up the rest of the fandom tag, not only did the author somehow manage to intuit my deep love for contract bridge, but it is also such an in-character exploration of a rarepair I never expected to receive, literally the first in its tag.
