    Summary

    It’d been a mid-life crisis thing—starting up a ThirstTrap account. He’s aging, going gray, and it’s harder and harder to snag cute guys when out on the town. So Wriothesley thought: What is the harm? He posts up a few lewds, gets a few bites, and maybe makes a couple hundred on the side. Being a personal trainer pays his bills, but a slush fund is nice, and Wriothesley deemed it worth the ill-advised idea™.

    Clorinde had laughed at him. Literally. Wriothesley spilled the beans the next day over coffee and tea cakes at Café Lutece, and she’d laughed so hard he thought he might’ve broken her. He’s known Clorinde for decades and that is the only time he’s seen her double over and lose it.

    She’d stopped laughing after the first payout because Wriothesley was an instant sensation, a rough and tumble, silver fox showing off the goods. As it turns out, there’s a market for decent-looking middle-aged men with gnarly scars, and a bomb-ass physique.

    Wriothesley and Neuvillette are both lonely, socially stunted older dudes terrified of dating, and so they do what the youngsters do-- accidentally initiate romance over social media by way of 'lewd modeling'.

    Summary

    “You are the Lord Incognito of the Murky Depths, Good Counselor, and God of Death and Darkness,” Neuvillette observes.

    If the God of Death is surprised that he is known, he does not show it. Instead, he offers Neuvillette a lopsided smile. “And you are the Font of All Life. Focalors’ most enduring secret.”

    “Perhaps not so good a secret if you have found me.”

    A strange rot over takes the golden fields of Elysium, compelling Wriothesley to seek out Neuvillette, held in bondage to Focalors and all the gods of Celestia.

    Summary

    “Say you got married,” Robby found himself asking. “Would you wear your dress blues? Or civilian clothes?”

    It had only been an idle thought, no different than any number of easy, directionless musings of the sort that often came over the two of them on mornings like this one, when no one had a shift to go to for at least thirty-six hours. Robby didn’t mean anything by it. But he regretted the words the instant they left his mouth, even before he saw the incredulous grin slide over Jack’s face.

    Summary

    “Rumor has it that the Electro Archon lets a puppet rule over her land instead of herself,” the Tsaritsa tells them both, though her eyes stay trained on Scaramouche.

    “I’ve heard of it,” he whispers, still breathless more than anything else. His mouth feels dry and there’s adrenaline rushing through his veins that makes it so hard to stay still on his knees.

    “You will obtain her Gnosis and bring it back home to me, won’t you?”

    It’s not a question.

    Beelzebul’s Gnosis.

    A Gnosis that once was supposed to be his.

     

    Or; Scaramouche finds himself in the Elventh Harbinger's company more often than he'd like. It culminates in them getting tasked with retrieving the Electro Archon's Gnosis and Scaramouche gets into conflict with his own feelings.

    Summary

    “Coming!” Al-Haitham calls, navigating the maze of packing peanuts and crates. He undoes the latch on the door and lets it swing open, fully expecting to see the bearded face of his landlord only to be met with the vermillion-eyed face of somebody he had given up hope on seeing for the rest of his life.

    There’s a long moment of silence. The aching swell of Vivaldi in the background and the rushing in his ears like the ocean waves.

    “...Kaveh?”

    Kaveh, globally-renowned musician, disappears off the face of Teyvat. Five years later, he shows up outside of Al-Haitham's door with no explanation but to ask for a bed to sleep in.

    It's fine. They only have thirteen years of history, after all.

    Summary

    After an accident at work, Kaveh sort of dies. But he is granted a chance to come back to life if he can get three people to shed tears of pure love for him. He thinks that would be easy, since he has so many friends, but soon realises that it's not as easy as he thought it would be.

    Meanwhile, a grieving Alhaitham is very confused by this new stranger in Sumeru City who acts so much like Kaveh, but is not Kaveh.

    “Well, I promise you, Kaveh will be very okay with it. I’m sure of it.”
    “If I’m not convinced, will you be suddenly bringing me a letter allegedly written by Kaveh that expresses his agreement?” Alhaitham asked with a raised eyebrow.
    “That letter was written by Kaveh. One hundred percent. I don’t know why you keep doubting me,” Kaveh insisted.
    Alhaitham hummed to himself. “Just wanted to see how you’d react.”

    Summary

    “Kaveh cannot know about this.” Alhaitham felt the words leap out of his throat like bullets from the barrel of a gun, “There is too much risk to tell him something so severe outright. The chance it would jeopardize what remains of our friendship is too substantial of a gamble."

    Cyno hummed as if to himself, ordering another drink from the same waitress that'd swung by a little while ago and sipping at the final dregs of amber pooling at the bottom of his near barren glass. He stared Alhaitham dead across the table, and it wouldn’t have taken even the slightest shred of intelligence from any of the three admittable geniuses present to pick out the bright twinkle of glee at his teeth and the silvery snark of his tone that came with it.

    "Well, if it's abruptness you're worried about, you could always try courting him."

    Summary

    Alhaitham isn’t your run-of-the-mill vampire - he’s a hybrid who shuns the grim clichés of centuries-old pale recluses. But when a catastrophic failure at the Sumeru City Blood Bank wipes out their entire supply, Kaveh offers to let Alhaitham feed from him directly. Neither of them could have foreseen the life-altering consequences that one fateful bite would trigger.

    “Yes, for the thousandth time, I’m sure, you oversized mosquito. Just do it.”

    Alhaitham inhaled slowly, allowing Kaveh’s scent to envelop his senses as his body tingled with something unfamiliar - tense and anticipatory. It was as though the vein beneath Kaveh’s soft skin was calling out Alhaitham’s name, beckoning him in with a powerful lull like a siren’s song.

    Kaveh didn’t flinch as the tips of Alhaitham’s fangs came to rest hesitantly on his throat, and with one final, resolute breath, he gave in. Thumb caressing the other side of Kaveh’s neck as he held him in place, Alhaitham punctured his skin with a gentle bite.

    Summary

    “Prove it.”

    Kaveh paused. Slowly, he turned around. “What?”

    “Prove that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh tilted his head. “And how do you suggest I do that?”

    “Date me,” said Al-Haitham. “Prove to me that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh keeps getting broken up with and is on the verge of giving up on love when Al-Haitham propositions him.

    Summary

    As Kaveh inspects the space that is about to become his new home, he thinks to himself that the room with those marbled counters and a familiar set of wood utensils hanging on the wall. In fact, when he squints closer, he recognizes the model of the stand mixer that’s sitting in the corner. It almost looks like—

    “My name is Al-Haitham,” the man—Al-Haitham, apparently—says, and Kaveh looks at him, looks at the chest that he vaguely recognized, turns to look at the counters that he now pinpoints from motherfucking YouTube, and fully lets his jaw drop again with no regard for propriety.

    Fuck first impressions. It seems that they’ve already had theirs.

    “No the fuck you aren’t,” Kaveh says.

    Kaveh moves into the house of his archnemesis. And then he bakes for him, as one does for their mortal enemy that they definitely don't have a crush on.

    Summary

    "There's no way you're actually still blushing," says Tighnari, sounding way too delighted about it.

    Kaveh slaps a hand to his cheek in mortification. "I'm not! What would I be embarrassed about?"

    "You just became the embodiment of a basic romance novel trope. You're flustered. You just got troped."

    Kaveh groans and wishes he dared to get up and walk out of the cafe, but alas, his unpaid tab would haunt him both morally and financially. "To be part of a romance novel I would have to be in love."

    "Well, I think your crush on Al-Haitham is enough to put you in the category," Tighnari says simply.

    Kaveh's mouth falls open. On the table, a little potted plant mirrors his movements, sprawling leaves opening wide in shock. "What makes you think I have a crush on Al-Haitham?" he asks a little incredulously.

    Tighnari opens his mouth and closes it, and then opens it again. "Oh dear," he says.

    Kaveh meets Al-Haitham in the Akademiya, and it ruins his life from that point forward.

    Summary

    Kaveh raises his hands, palms up. "I have nothing to give, Al-Haitham," he says, and the other's eyes grow fierce.

    "You do not have nothing, Kaveh," Al-Haitham says roughly. "You may have buried yourself in your self-doubt, but you are relentless. You shine even when the moon takes governance of the sky."

    Kaveh gapes at Al-Haitham. "So what I'm hearing," he says slowly, "is that you will not kick me out for the time being."

    "What you're hearing is that I will wait for you," says Al-Haitham.

     

    After all this time, Kaveh has yet to unpack his bags.

    Summary

    “God, this guy is just so annoying,” Kaveh tells Tighnari. “Like, seriously? Why is all of his content about how good he is at making soup? We get it, dude. You can be, like, good at your own thing you know, but you don’t have to publicly announce it to everyone on social media for some likes.”

    “I know exactly what you mean, Kaveh,” Tighnari says.

    “I think it may be more offensive to say that about me while sitting beside me than for me to create the content in the first place,” Al-Haitham says next to him. “But that might just be me.”

    Kaveh eats soup on Instagram. Al-Haitham makes soup on Instagram. Is there anything else you need for a good love story?

    Summary

    Mehrak has this habit of opening Kaveh’s door when it’s not fully closed, nosing her way into his office and then leaping onto his lap to snuggle her head into his stomach. So he’s not entirely unsurprised when he hears the door creak open, slow and deliberate the way his cat always does it, and he doesn’t even look up to check that it’s her before he speaks.

    “Not right now, solnyshko,” he calls distractedly, too focused on his current sketch.

    There’s silence, as there usually is since Mehrak can’t actually respond to him. Then, “Don’t be so vulgar, senior.”

    Kaveh accidentally calls Al-Haitham a pet name in a different language, and then he keeps doing it. It's too bad he forgets that Al-Haitham is fluent in all of them.

    Summary

    Kaveh stares at the neatly packed bento box laying before Al-Haitham, housing neatly sliced vegetables and glistening, fresh rice.

    “Who made you that?” Kaveh asks, not bothering to hide the vengeance in his voice. “Your work husband?”

    Al-Haitham lets the fork go slack in his hands and just stares at him. “Kaveh,” he says, in the sort of tone someone might say dude.

    “Don’t dude me,” Kaveh says, aghast.

    Kaveh is interested in discovering who Al-Haitham's elusive work husband is. Al-Haitham is only interested in Kaveh.

    “Will you allow me to ask you something selfish?” he asks quietly. “Don’t marry her.”

    Kaveh sucks in a deep breath. “You don’t understand, Al-Haitham, I—”

    “Marry me instead,” Al-Haitham says.

    In which Al-Haitham is the rich and polished bachelor of the town, Kaveh is an architect down on his luck, and all Al-Haitham wants is to make Kaveh his friend.

    Really.

    Summary

    “You have to look a little more into it, Kaveh,” Zakaria muttered. “I'm not puking on you right now because I'm imagining you're a hottie with giant bazongas. I'd rather blow my dad than touch you. No offense.”

    Attempting a more sultry tone than usual, Kaveh exhaled a breath of laughter. “I'd rather blow your dad too. Mr. H can get it,” he whispered.

    Zakaria barked out a laugh as he leaned closer and ran a hand through Kaveh's hair. “He's seething,” Zakaria whispered in his ear. “Seething. He looks like he's about to explode. It's working, dude... gods, he looks a little scary, actually. Hope he doesn't stab me. When he's drilling you later tonight after my master plan works out flawlessly make sure to remind him that I'd rather fuck a tree stump than touch you like this so I can still be best man at your wedding.”

    Or; Kaveh’s childhood friend is sick of watching him and Alhaitham pine helplessly after one another, so he devises a plan to make Alhaitham jealous. Kaveh, under the impression that Alhaitham won’t notice - let alone care - is pleasantly surprised by the result as an entirely new side of Alhaitham is revealed to him.
