Summary
Routines are something small. Something that makes him feel in control of his life. Diluc is used to live in a certain way. Changes are rare and he has a hard time adjusting to said occasional changes.
But what'll happen when Kaeya suddenly starts avoiding him? Kaeya is part of his schedule, they have a script and Kaeya isn't following it. It's distressing and out of character.
Kaeya is simply trying to let go of their broken relationship after trying to mend their past connections for the last few years. Diluc wasn't making any effort and it was frustating for the blunette to see the way he kept clinging to their past like a leech.
Diluc does not take this well.

Summary
Kris has a girlfriend.
Susie figured it would happen eventually. They’re, like, super good at flirting and she’s pretty sure they’d probably made out with like half the school by the time she met them. And Susie has Noelle, her own girlfriend, so it’s not like she’s jealous or anything.
But, it’s just, here’s the thing.Bookmarked by Ember_Sxly

Summary
They had a system.
The lights stayed off. They were there, in case of emergencies or guests, but outside of those extenuating circumstances, they never turned on. On especially dark or cloudy nights, Kris cracked a glowstick and circled it around their wrist when they walked into the kitchen around 4:00 AM to make coffee after giving up on sleep for the night. Sometimes, the smell drew it out of its room; she'd come grab a cup, and they'd sip the hot, bitter liquid together in silent camaraderie. Usually, Kris drank the small pot alone.
...
It feels selfish, like some violation of the silent pact they’ve made with themself, with Dess. An unspoken agreement to fade quietly from this world, to break away in little pieces over time, make their peace and let the others make theirs.
...
They are warm. A hand on their wrist. Breath on their shoulder. Snores shaking the floor. They are comfortable, and safe, and loved, and somehow this is worse. Because the warmth isn't theirs in the same way the screams weren't theirs; because Kris is a quiet thing, a cold thing, and the pain belongs to them but the fire does not.(i.e. Kris and Dess are forced out of their downward spirals and learn to be loved.)

Summary
Something toiled endlessly underneath their feet and dignity wasn't part of its design.
After the dinner, the two couples take inventory. Berdly has a bad idea.

Summary
Noelle and Kris weren't the same as they used to be. It was easier to think it was just Kris getting sullen, harder to talk to, more withdrawn. It was easier to think that it was just growing up: that childhood friends aren’t meant to last. A crown of flowers and grubby hands clasped together wasn't the same as a wedding ring.
Until Susie came into their life, she could even believe it was true.

Summary
Kris looked disheveled. Tattered, damp, covered in mud. It last rained days ago, before the sirens started. They looked like they hadn’t changed clothes, or even slept since then. Strange red eyes peered at her through dirt-caked bangs. Their face expressionless beyond deep exhaustion.
For a long time, they said nothing. When Kris finally spoke, Catti realized it was the first time she’d ever heard their voice. The words came out slowly. A tired monotone that sounded like each syllable was a struggle.
“You’re into weird stuff. Know any magic?”
Catti gets caught between Kris and Noelle in the aftermath of Dess's disappearance.
