Ta-daaa∽ I've locked in for the past 4 days to finally finish this that stayed a WIP for a month! I have more comics in mind so I wanted to mark this as complete before moving on 😌✨

This is one of the HoS episodes I've kept in my head for more than a year before eventually bringing it to life now... πŸ₯Ή I've repeated Zhongli and Neuvi's dialogue over and over again for countless times and now it's hereeee∽

With this, I can say we reached a new Act of the story! I hope you'll enjoy this one too!!Thank you for following HoS so far!! 🧑🧑🧑

Last year (March, 2024) the Zhongli un-stoned and met Neuvillette.... it's nice to see how the Dragon daddies evolved since their first meeting, I'm definitely happier with their appearance now haha

Once again thank you to Keiki for doing the flat colors for these pages - except the last one cause I wanted it to be a surprise for them too! πŸ˜œπŸ’œ

YES I love this, Zhongli being determined about possibly having Baizhu love him again is so sweet. I also adore the Wrio tease πŸ˜ŒπŸ’› these comic updates never fail to satisfy me, I look forward to more as always

Kaye L. Snow

OMGS AAAAHHH!! I'm so excited! Amazing work, absolutely stunning. I love all the setup you've done and the way you write them is pitch perfect. Please please please let the dragon daddies win their husbands back eventually. I will perish if they don't. 🀞🀞❀️❀️

JayChirps

Will-o'-the-wisp

ASDSGAVFGASDVFGAAFVGBAHGBGBAH screaming, yelling, punching the wall, gnawing on my pillow- i am so NOT normal about this Neuvi: he's not the same man Zhongli: and that's supposed to stop me? also Wriooooooo aaaaaa stop holding back Neuvi and go get your hubbie, i know you miss him x( off topic, but the fact Zhongli learned to use Neuvi's card faster than using his phone made me laugh out loud xDDD

*points and squeals* I remember asking like 6 months ago or smthin if we were gonna get any Wriollette on the side like the HaiKaveh and I've been waiting to see how you work it in ever since. I can FEEL the yearning. I love how concerned Neuvillette seems to be that this Baizhu isn't exactly the same and Zhongli is already way past that and it at the "he doesn't have to be exactly the same for it to still be the man I fell in love with, it just means I have new parts to fall in love with all over again" part. No one understands better than Zhongli that the world changes and it doesn't stop and wait for everyone to catch up, and I think that's a big difference between them. I think Zhongli has always been able to accept the world for what it is and Neuvillette is a bit less flexible(which I'm basing a lot on how Neuvillette's view of the archons is viewed though a film of how he's expecting them to be/act, because he's always so surprised when he finds how how they ACTUALLY are, like he already has this preconceived notion of how they SHOULD be). Or maybe I'm just reading too into this bc now my OTP is toeing it's way into the comic for the ship Kira politely dragged us all onto by our toes and we all just kinda stayed after looking around a little and saying "okay FINE, it's pretty nice" lmaoooo. This is a very, super, 100000% portrayal of how it feels to get pulled into a ship you never would have looked twice at otherwise πŸ‘

Ruby Ophidian

HOLY WORD SALAD BATMAN, I DIDN'T KNOW IT GOT THIS LONG OOPS

Wrio enjoyer

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS YESSSS RAAAAAHHH I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION 😭😭😭😭

Ruby Ophidian

ALSO can I ask who the secretary is based on?? I guess I've been watching my fiance play Rivals too much bc my brain instantly went "Squirrel Girl???" which I'm pretty sure is wrong.

yacchan

i might have SCREAMED

Archer

SCREAMING!! SCREAMING!! How do you manage to make Neuvillette so pretty!! Zhongli just happy to know his wife is alive and well and not letting anything stop him from wooing him all over again is the best!!! Also, I can see how this would be a little turning point for Neuvillette who probably never let himself go find Wriothesley again AND WRIOTHESLY!!! DUDE!! I remember when you asked for police outfits from our countries and I know this isn't what I submitted but holy shit he's so cute!!! I love this!! I'm so invested!!! And I can't wait for the next update 🌹🌹

NP 😊

Can't wait to see him abuse tap to pay lol its too easy

Clarice

Crying because I've been waiting to see where Wrio is, and now I'm like ohhhhhh was Neuvillette already met him in another samsara and had it end badly, and now he's too afraid to try again...and along comes Zhongli, all too ready to use his card to buy his mortal reincarnated husband flowers oh my GOD these old men 😭😭😭

Maleficar

slams in here late pointing the at the TV but also man i love when reincarnation stories tackle what it means for the reincarnation to have a new life and difference experience and how they're not the original *bites shirt* im so excited

Chro-NO

I'M OBSESSED WITH NEUVI'S HIGH PONYTAIL AND HIS EAR JEWELLERY UGH. Zhongli wants to go get his man and I support that wholeheartedly I WANT NEUVI TO DO THE SAME UGH GO GET YOUR WRIOOOOO. I'm devouring this like it's a whole ass meal.

katie davison

A sneaky wrio! Both dragon daddies deserve theys man's!

Syd!

This is always so good tysm for all your hard work 😩😩😩 also peeped Wriothesley πŸ‘€

Meropede Beetle

Neuvi wants him so bad The absolute yearning (as least how I see it lol), please try for him, Neuvi,pleeassee

fushidori

I’m crying… Zhongli’s analogy here was so beautiful, Kira. In all Reincarnation AUs I’d read, I don’t think anyone has ever described it the way you have. β€œWouldn’t you love the new bloom of the same plant just as much as the first flower?”. I’ll never forget this line. I’m truly speechless by what you created here, Kira 🩷

Dewey Drop Art

WRIO MY BELOVED! I was so hoping he would show up eventually aahhhhh

Saigocage

Ooooh hes watching his man on the news!!! Also, I really hope, that once this is done, you make it into a physical book, because I NEED to own this ASAP

Okay Neuvillettes Earcuffs to make sure noone gets suspicious of his pointy ears is already chef's kiss... AND THEN HIS YEARNING GAZE AT THE SCREEN I SEE YOU KIRA, I SEE YOU. Cooked, ate and left no crumbs as always. 😭🫢

Basromoth

I think it's my favorite work from you, i hardly wait for more each time. Its just so gorgeous I can't wait for more. ❀️❀️

Basilisa

I was just thinking, how does Neuvi get some reprieve in this life and having to deal with Zhongli (I love their shenans but it must the stressful - the card swiping comment ended me!!) and you give us OFFICER WRIO stunning work and I for one did not see the twist happening, namely that Neuvi set the meeting up on purpose. as always very keen to see what comes next <3

Echo~

the expression when neuvi says "i'm sorry" is just ... so... it's so HIM, but also shows a bit more of how he has been affected by this passage of time. aaaaaaa i love neuvi cries. also, WRIO CAMEO???? πŸ˜³πŸ˜³πŸ«£πŸ«£πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈπŸ™‚β€β†•οΈπŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ thank you as always kira, you fill our hearts with every emotion possible 😭🀍

Echo~

oh my gods..... you are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT???? even if this was made into individual prints or something, i would buy them all and make them into my own book!!! but just imagine having "Heart of Stone" on a spine on your bookshelf!!!!??!?!?! dies*

Echo~

WHAT GOD, CLARICE???!! πŸ˜³πŸ«£πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜πŸ€

zhongli tapping it 8 times trying to figure out how the hell its supposed to work

no but you fully captured my own thoughts too

ZHONGLIS TIE MATCHES BAIZHUS HAIR I JUST NOTICED SCREAMS?????

NP 😊

"Sir on the screen...you have to hols it untill it beeps"

KiraShion

Yes πŸ’– very important detail!!

KiraShion

Yeah, Neuvi has been through a lot over the past millenia, that "I'm sorry" comes from experiences that makes him relate to Zhongli's present situation πŸ₯Ή Always really, really happy that you enjoy HoS!!!

KiraShion

I love Zhongli-Neuvi relationship because they're at the same time the most traumatized characters AND the comic relief πŸ˜‚ You know those Tumblr phrases like "depressed people smile the most" lol it's them Teaching Zhongli how to appropriately behave can be a hassle but he's learning fast (except that phones are his enemies πŸ˜‚) and at some point even Neuvi might even gain something from the relationship...

KiraShion

I'm so happyyyy that you enjoy thisss!! When I began dedicating this more time I was worried nobody would care since this takes away time from NSFW, so your appreciation means immensely to me πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯ΉπŸ’œπŸ’œ

KiraShion

The ear jewelry Neuvi wears is not exactly a cover for the pointy ear; he shapeshifted to appear fully human but it is something he'd rather not do, so the jewelry is a reminder/affirmation of his draconic identity πŸ’™ being free to appear as dragon is something he misses, but not as much as what he's staring at the monitor πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯Ή

KiraShion

I think I have more art where Wrio appears with a stubble than not haha I want to experiment with more/less beard on him in HoS though, there may be variations!! πŸ’•

KiraShion

Guys this is making me tear up.... πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯ΉπŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­ I surely an entertaining the thought of printing it, every time I finish a new chapter I update a PDF I'm compiling cause maybe one day.... it can be in your hands (and it's 70 pages for now, it includes sketches and extras!!)

KiraShion

πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ’• I'm so happy you were touched by that line!! I felt proud for explaining it like that because I was trying to make myself understand what it means to fall in love with a reincarnation and I didn't want to ignore it's a different person but it's also undeniable that somehow it's the same... same root, different outcome! And because the subject was Baizhu, what could have been more fitting than a pretty flower? πŸŒΈπŸ’š

KiraShion

It's a crime for such fine gentlemen to stay single πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸ‘

KiraShion

Yes!! Of course the sight of an asthetically and loosely personality-wise similar person to your previous lover can instantly trigger a "I WANT HIM BACK", but it'll never be the same person. This justifies the mourning when loosing one, while also making the relationship with the reincarnation a new experience worth exploring... brings the comfort of partially knowing the person while also allowing you to appreciate the unknown of their new personality traits πŸ’œ

DoritoMLG666

Ooo that is such a sweet homage. The world building also goes crazy. Having to abandon what was once a common occurrence and society moving along to push beings of greater power into mysticism and basically non-existence? There is much time can erase but love ain't one of them. πŸ˜”πŸ˜­

KiraShion

Neuvillette is a fabulous snack ready to be eaten.... πŸ‘€ I had my eyes on some uniforms y'all had sent, some were just as delicious!! In the end I wanted to stay close to his og color palette and I think a little bit of patriotism also led me to choose Italian uniforms haha Can't wait to bring you the update!!

KiraShion

Not Gorou, tottally not Squirrel Girl πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ she's human Sedene, the melusine working behind the desk at Palais Mermonia!

KiraShion

I really loved your analysis of Zhongli and Neuvi, that's exactly how I wanted them to be perceived!! πŸ’œ Adding to it that this Neuvillette lived through 1k more years, and that time has changed him. It didn't make him flexible but grew him used to accepting whatever fate, while he faded in the background due to a human society rejecting his nature and what is now called "supernatural"... he doesn't realize yet but having Zhongli's naive optimism and determination by his side might benefit him! Happy to be showing more of your OTP while also being able to make you appreciate mine πŸ’œπŸ’œ

KiraShion

You do see the big picture haha everybody's cheering for Wrio's appearance, few remember angst is just behing the corner ghjkl

KiraShion

Zhongli exposed πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ he never lost the habit of spending others' money haha

KiraShion

Neuvillette tried his best to warn Zhongli without realizing he didn't have a say on the matter to begin with πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Mona

I can see it from a mile away… I’m prepared to be wrecked but I’m hopeful it’ll end happy so… I won’t hurt too much, hahaha

Jelleebell

I'm so happy seeing a new HoS part😁 the interactions with zhongli and neuvi are always great. But I do kinda feel bad for neuvi. The yearning look in his eyes at the end are just so good

NP 😊

I can't wait to see more dragon vs modern tech... also a beautiful love story unfold that's important tooπŸ˜†

KiraShion

ECHO I WHEEZED OUT LOUD πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

KiraShion

I always use game screenshots for bg, either Hoyo or TS4, mixes the gameplay fun and utility πŸ™ŒπŸ˜‚

Hannah Y

This is awesome...... I didn't find an error.... I think. Would you like me to send it to you?

KiraShion

Ah yes if you spotted typos or something else that's off, let me know! πŸ™ˆ

Basromoth

Well I am happy other people take interest in your non-nsfw work !!!!! Because it's really gorgeous, i already cant wait for an updatteeee

Kori Twelve
