    Summary

    “Ooh, that’s a pretty flower!” Sethos leaned in. He was definitely in Wanderer’s personal space.

    “I found it on my patrol earlier today.” Tighnari smiled sweetly. “I thought he’d want to see it.”

    “It’s a good flower to show off.” Sethos’ eyes shone so brightly, and it was so distracting. “I love lotuses.”

    Tighnari gave Wanderer a smug grin, and Wanderer sneered at him.

    “And look!” Sethos plucked the flower out of Wanderer’s hand and held it next to his face. “It’s the same color as your eyes!” Sethos’ hand brushed Wanderer’s cheek when he pulled it back. Wanderer swore he couldn’t breathe.

     

    Wanderer finds his life getting increasingly confusing as he gains feelings that he can't explain for Sethos. Sethos, of all people! Why did it have to be the only person who was too pure to feel the same way...

    Aka: flowers. Surprise :)

    Summary

    Thursdays are technically for studying.

    Technically.

    Realistically, they’re for iced coffee, dumb sea puns, and whisper-laughing until someone from the next cubicle kicks the divider.

    But mostly, they’re for Kinich.

    Or, Mualani develops a growing interest in her unofficial library seatmate, whose idea of flirting is correcting her marine bio notes.

    Summary

    There is no peace, not with Alhaitham sitting at the table in the kitchen as he usually does. Like their routine will continue as normal.

    Normal is Kaveh tugging at Alhaitham’s bed hair as he passes by. It’s filling a mug with already-brewed coffee, dropping into the vacant chair, peering over at whatever document or paper Alhaitham is reading and helping himself to its contents. It’s rubbing sleep-sand from his eyes. It’s Alhaitham swiping a stray drop of milk from his cheek as Kaveh’s face burns. It’s the late-morning light holding the day in languid suspension for them to keep together.

    Like normal is attainable. Like normal is everything they could ever ask for.

    ●●●

    Mehrak records everything. Including the things Kaveh and Alhaitham don’t see.

    Summary

    In the city of freedom, it was customary to wear one’s heart on one's sleeve – in quite the literal sense of the word.

    Love was not something to be ashamed of, nor something that needed to be hidden away. Hiding one’s soulmark was not necessarily frowned upon – people from all corners of Teyvat visited Mondstadt after all, bringing along their own soulmark customs – but it was usually a clear indication of what archon said person worshipped.

    In Liyue, soulmarks were considered to be more of a sacred thing, and were usually only shared with people one had already grown close to.

    In Snezhnaya, showing off one’s soulmark in public was outright illegal, despite the Cryo archon being considered a goddess of love.

    Kaeya didn’t know what Khaenri’ah’s policy on soulmarks had been in the past, but he did know for a fact he preferred to keep his own mark hidden.

    He wondered if, had the people of Khaenri’ah not been cursed to never be able to see their own soulmarks, his views might have been different.

    ---

    Or: Two people who think they're undeserving of having a soulmate find out they have one after all.

    (Or: The Kaebedo soulmate AU no one asked for.)

    Summary

    Cyno knew he was screwed the moment he realized he was in love with Tighnari. Between his compassion for those around him and his passion for his research, it was impossible for Cyno not to.

    When Cyno learned he had Hanahaki disease he realized even more so just how truly screwed he was. He needed to tell Tighnari of his impending fate, he was still his best friend after all. This seemingly simple task proves far more challenging and complicated than Cyno could've anticipated.
