    Summary

    There’s a rising young talent in Sumeru City.

    Depending on who you ask, she is either proof that art still has a place in a rational world, or he is another idealist that upholds aesthetics that will never survive scrutiny. If he is the Akademiya’s inconvenience, then she is its contradiction.

    There’s a rising young talent in Sumeru City, and neither version of the story is entirely wrong.

    Kaveh and Nilou on resistance.

    Summary

    The weight of one moment can be enough to turn two parallel paths into intersecting, reciprocal curves.

    When the Interastral Peace Corporation assigns Aventurine to seduce the latest secret invention from Dr. Veritas Ratio, their professionally amicable relationship crumbles; but as choice and circumstance continue to bring them together, they form something even better.

    Summary

    “Not—” Kaveh pants, fingers gripping Alhaitham’s shoulders, pressing his head back into a pillow so Alhaitham can leave kisses all over his throat. “Not even going to appreciate my nest? I—I made it just for you.”

    “It’s a great nest,” Alhaitham replies immediately, and Kaveh’s opening his mouth to refute that statement because Alhaitham has not—“I’d really rather just appreciate you.”

    Summary

    It's fine. He’s completely chill about this. He’s completely calm and collected about the fact that Alhaitham bought a collar for some other omega. A collar of the highest grade, he can tell—the leather is supple and soft, with a removable ring, and Kaveh knows, from the smaller box stuffed into the bag, that it’s supposed to display a stunning little ruby the size of his thumb. Understated yet entirely screaming of wealth and good craftsmanship.

    He's not bitter.

    He’s not.

    Which means that when he gets home and finds Alhaitham calmly lounging on the divan like he isn’t having any thoughts of being with another omega, Kaveh stomps up to him and says, “Who. The fuck. Is it.”

    Summary

    Kaveh's had hanahaki before, back when they were students at the Akademiya. He'd hidden it then, before Alhaitham found him hunched over a toilet throwing flower petals up.

    “Is it the same person?”

    Kaveh looks at him, then. His hands are still wet from where he’d presumably been washing them.

    “No,” Kaveh says, “it’s not.” He doesn’t look Alhaitham in the eyes as he says it.

    Somehow, even with no proof, Alhaitham feels like he’s lying.

    Summary

    “I can taste it.”

    Kaveh lifts a brow. “What?”

    Isn’t that the point of drinking coffee? Tasting it? He knows some folks consume it for the alertness it brings them, but he and Alhaitham had always been connoisseurs of complex blends and—

    “I can taste you.”

    Suddenly, the room feels hotter than the desert.

    Or, Kaveh accidentally starts scenting Alhaitham's coffee each morning, which spirals into something quite different that may finally force them to confront the growing something between them.

    Summary

    Having been born an omega in Sigonia had not been a bad thing. It was seen as good luck; to have someone able to create life in barren Sigonia. Little Kakavasha had quickly grown out of that mindset, when he saw his people being massacred. Stress and having his first heat forcefully triggered had made him feral, and alphas showing interest at him only made his skin crawl.

    Dr. Ratio had been the one exception.

    Summary

    Aventurine had recognized the first signs of his unscheduled heat four days ago; flushed cheeks, increased appetite and sudden tiredness. Yet, he had kept the knowledge of his faulty cycles away from his mate.

    At least until Veritas learned the truth.

    “I hope you realize it would not be a bother for me to return earlier than expected and properly tend to your needs. I am your mate, after all.”

    “Always fulfilling your duties like the diligent Alpha you are. How mighty of you, Doctor.” Aventurine stared at those hypnotizing rosy golden eyes and the deep frown settled between them.

    “This is not a duty. And if my words are not enough to convince you of this fact, I will give you a proper demonstration instead,” Veritas whispered, ignoring Aventurine’s whines as he did so.

    Summary

    Five times Kaveh and Alhaitham accidentally built a marriage out of clauses, arguments, shared tea, and emotional terrorism (involving a House Constitution neither of them should have been trusted to write, an anniversary disguised as a treaty negotiation, a public use of “husband” that caused academic casualties, a dairy-based love language, and a cold that turned Alhaitham into the world’s least subtle caretaker). And one time, the word finally caught up with them.

    Summary

    Lately, he'd almost lost his home—and quite possibly his life—to Dottore. Then Alhaitham had started acting all weird and considerate, and now he was hallucinating the voices of some ancient gods?!

    "You're not hallucinating, young one," the first voice said. "We have merely entered your consciousness, nothing more."

    The other hummed in apparent amusement. "Is this perhaps a bad time? I hope we didn't interrupt anything."

    "What?!" Just how long had they been here? "T-there was nothing to interrupt!"

    "Ah, forgive me. We had assumed admiring one's companion during his morning exercises was perhaps a common human custom."

    Kaveh took a deep breath in an almost futile attempt to calm himself down from… who even knew at this point? The embarrassment of being caught ogling his roommate, or the simple fact that two literal gods had infiltrated his consciousness.

    "My apologies, Lord Ibis King and…Goat King?"

    Or

    Take a suddenly more considerate roommate and add two bored ancient gods to the mix, and you get the recipe for some of Kaveh's newest gray hairs.

    Summary

    “...what type of person could have the Grand Sage of Sumeru wrapped around his finger.”

    Hm?

    He knew it was wrong to listen in on a potentially private conversation, but Kaveh’s curiosity took over his decisions. Alhaitham never told him anything anymore, he rationalized. He just wanted to make sure he was forming good relationships with his friends. That was all.

    His decision to eavesdrop had nothing to do with this mysterious person who allegedly had Alhaitham of all people wrapped around his finger. Nope. Not one bit.

    After saving Sumeru, Alhaitham and Dehya hang out every month to catch up (read: gossip) as friends do. And if that gossip happens to be about Alhaitham’s hopeless crush on his roommate, then so be it.

    One day, Kaveh happens to overhear.

    Summary

    “You… delicate?” Ekaterina scrunched her face in agitation. “I don’t think anyone would describe y-”

    “My legs feel so weak from the long voyage! I couldn't possibly take another step!” Tartaglia cut her off and accentuated his words with a flourish of his wrist which came to rest on his forehead.

    “Then it looks like we'll have to carry you to the Emperor's palace by stretcher, sir.”

    -----
    Or, Tartaglia is sent to Liyue as a consort to participate in the selection of the next Empress. He swears to get disqualified and sent home early, but that’s easier said than done.

    Summary

    Zhongli loved to be a romantic when needed, and knowing that the Lieutenant hated it, he couldn't help himself. Even if that relationship was as strange as it can get, without any promise made or any confession happened.
    So, he sent Childe a very long, romantic message. It didn't matter if they couldn't voice it, their relationship was hardly a friendship or a one night thing.
    Yet his message was met with the sign that it has been read, without any answer.

    Or: Detective Childe's heat it's not like the others, good thing Zhongli is there to lend a hand.

    Summary

    He finds it surreal, even when the veil over him is curled open, him meeting amber eyes, "Hi." Offering a small smile to his now husband.

    "..Hi..." Zhongli sound breathless, his cheeks pink, his eyes listless, gazing at his face, holding him like how he would to those trinkets they find in the night market, delicately.

    He steps closer, erasing the small distance between them, peering up into amber eyes, "Are you going to kiss me, laogong?" Gently tapping the forearm holding him.

    "...Apologies, I am just too...speechless. It feels unbelievable. To have you as my wife." A soft sentimental giggle left his lips as his heart palpitates when the familiar scent of petrichor paired with tea came closer.

    "I share the sentiment. But look where we are now." At the altar, with the Tsaritsa Herself officiating their wedding.

    Summary

    “My name is Veritas Ratio.”

    It was a pointless offering. What good was the name of a scholar to a boy in iron shackles? Soon, the boy would procure another wound, and this time, Ratio would not be there to halt the infection. He was a man of vast influence, intellect, and interest, yet sitting on the edge of this cot, he had never felt so utterly powerless.

    The clever boy raised a hand to his own chest, his gemstone eyes catching the dim light. “Kakavasha.”

    A decade after the IPC declares sovereignty over Sigonia-IV, Dr. Veritas Ratio accompanies Oswaldo Schneider on a diplomatic mission to discuss reparations. Stepping into the wrong door, Ratio expects to find a local liaison. Instead, he finds a bleeding Avgin boy and a circular chessboard.

    Summary

    It’s been two months since the storm, and Childe hasn’t seen Zhongli not even once, not since that fateful meeting with the Signora where the truth is finally unveiled.

    And what a fun little kick to the gut that is, the realization that not only had he been played by all sides, but he's also being tossed aside like trash now that his use had run its course.

    It’s not that Childe doesn’t get it. He’s a Harbinger. He knows first-hand what it means to do his duty, to put the mission first and his personal feelings far, far away, preferably locked up in a box, where it wouldn’t interfere with his job. He knows what it’s like working with vipers, to scheme and plot and lie in wait for the opportune moment to stab his opponent in the back.

    But this time, this time Childe can’t help but feel a little (a lot) gutted.

    Stupid. He’s gotten himself stupidly attached.

    --
    A story about Childe trying to move on after the events of 1.1 Update, but some of his actions have consequences, and those consequences have followed him back to Snezhnaya.

    NOTE: THIS FIC WAS DRAFTED BEFORE 1.1 UPDATE CAME OUT. MIND THE CANON-DIVERGENT TAG FOR THIS REASON.
