Summary
After a near-fatal encounter with Rerir, Vice Captain Lohen is forced off the battlefield and into recovery. Stuck behind the frontlines while the war continues without him, he finds himself haunted by a familiar frustration: no matter how hard he trains, it is never enough.
Illuga knows that feeling all too well.
Left behind in Piramida while the people he cares about risk their lives against the Wild Hunt, he keeps himself busy with reports, errands, and anything else that stops him from waiting.
What begins as a chance encounter between an injured knight and a Lightkeeper slowly becomes something neither of them expected.
Or: Lohen and Illuga discover that loneliness is easier to bear when shared.

Summary
—When Lohen looked up, the red in his eyes reflected the warmth of Mondstadt's sunny sky and the affection they had lovingly nurtured for what must have been several lifetimes and in this one life. "Lucky I am, indeed,” he said, “I even got the Grand Master as my personal healer and caretaker, too."
Varka's answering grin was just as warm. "You're mine to take care of.” Mine to love. Mine to embrace. Mine to cherish.
Mine, always.
aka (previously) sick Lohen x (especially) sappy Varka.

Summary
Lohen and Illuga meet, blood gets shed.
“Was that too much?” Lohen asks, a little breathless but not looking or sounding particularly apologetic.
“You’re—” Sick. Twisted. Mad. Hot—
It’s not so much a kiss as a crash of lips.

Summary
It’s become a nightly routine of theirs that’s shaped itself over the years spent in Nod-Krai. Every time Lohen returns to Favonius Keep from a fight, Varka is waiting for him in his tent, with a first-aid kit ready to be used.
What comes next plays out exactly as it always does. Varka removes his gauntlet, then pulls on the glove on his other hand, leaving his hands bare. Lohen observes Varka, how deliberate he is in each and every movement, his eyes trailing along the lines and curves of Varka’s hands as he washes them, drying them with a clean cloth, before opening the first-aid kit.
Lohen has long stopped commenting on how unnecessary Varka’s attention is, in these moments. He’s made his promise: to always come back in one piece to him. However, it’s instinctual for Lohen to open his mouth, a request for Varka to speed it up, but no words come out — it feels wrong to break this encompassing calm surrounding them.
