There’s more to torture than pain, though that’s a big part of it: there must also be desperation, destruction of ego, and just enough hope not to give up completely. Childe tests the ratios on Xiao as he struggles to lay his eggs.

Summary
War may be brutal, but it’s fly or die for the dragon riders at Meropide College of War.
Wriothesley abandons his post as an infantry colonel for a chance to become a dragon rider and wield magic. Very soon, he finds he’s bitten off more than he can chew when half the college want him dead or dishonoured, and his ageing body starts to give out. Wriothesley finds a lifeline in his friend Navia and his favourite Professor, Neuvillette, but trusting anyone is like walking the edge of a knife.
With every day that passes, the war outside Teyvat’s protective wards creeps closer. Despite twelve years of service, Wriothesley begins to lose faith in leadership when a terrible secret comes to light.

Summary
Aite let out a nervous laugh. “Of course, Lord Morax, I have coexisted peacefully alongside the Guili Assembly for centuries. I would not dare—”
“But you did,” Morax cut her off, voice soft but imbued with telluric power. Once again, the limestone beneath his feet shivered. “Their dreams were eaten. This is your work. Your mark is plainly on it.”
“Allow me to explain,” Aite said, voice sickly-sweet — just like the stench of overripe fruit that pervaded her hall. “I believe I know how this…mistake…was made.”
“Oh? Then explain.”
Xiao first meets Morax when he is still enslaved to his first master. He does not expect kindness, especially not when his goddess puts him forth as the culprit in the massacre of a human settlement on a contested border.
Morax, though, surprises him.

No Secrets Remain Untold by AbsSexuality for UrarakaisntKirby

Summary
Wriothesley is the top student in the Military Science department of the Academy of Fontaine. With his combat skills, muscular build, and his masculine aura, he stands as an example among these men. Straight or gay is a question no one asks in this institution where men are kept 24/7 until they graduate. Being a bottom, though, might ruin the admiration he garners from his peers. Fortunately, he struck a discreet deal that gives him relief every once in a while.
Still, no secrets remain untold, and his happened to fall onto the ears of someone who desires Wriothesley in ways he has yet to comprehend.

Summary
One cool scaly palm pushed down between his shoulder blades, pinning him to the bed, and Neuvillette thrummed softly, the bed rocking beneath them with each thrust. Wriothesley whined desperately for release, his cock throbbing against the metal cage that surrounded it, and fuck he loved it.
"Not yet, sweet boy," Neuvillette purred, his other hand circling around to brush Wriothesley's stomach. "My cup is not yet full."

Summary
"Alhaitham likes his tea bitter, stirred for about one minute and twenty seconds and then left to be chilled a little above room temperature. Kaveh would usually not entertain the specificity of his request, but for now, this cup of tea has become the most valuable thing in his whole world. It carries a memory and it heals.
If anyone were to see a few lone tears disturb the calm water of the cup Kaveh would perhaps call them crazy, but there is not a single person around for hundreds of kilometres, so he cries silently in this awful cold. It will not rip another part of him away ever again."
Alhaitham and Kaveh leave for a research trip. No one could have predicted it would end up this way.

Summary
If you were to ask someone: “Could the acting Grand Sage, Alhaitham, be depressed?” all you would get as an answer is a huff.
“That guy? Depressed? Since when can an ice cube be depressed? He doesn’t have any feelings. How would that even work?”
Alhaitham has maintained the image of a cold and rational being so carefully that it was almost impossible to look behind the mask and see the truth. Only he knew that he was barely holding on.___
"You can't survive on books alone", Kaveh always told him. Alhaitham finally understands the meaning of these words, but it is already too late. His loneliness has carved his insides out and left him hollow. The severity of his depression goes unnoticed by everyone, including the scribe until it is too late to recover. Kaveh will be proven right once more. Alhaitham won't survive this.

Summary
Deep in the Fortress of Meropide, beneath the watchful eyes of both Celestia and the Sovereign, something stirs to life once more.
Following the events of the flood, Wriothesley discovers new depths of the Fortress, unseen since it’s inception. As if that wasn’t enough to deal with already, Neuvillette has been distant since Furina’s trial, the heavens raining down enough to threaten another flood.
So he investigates both things, at the same time of course. Wriothesley is nothing if not resourceful after all.

Summary
It was always a breath of fresh air when Wriothesley was called up to the surface. And it seemed like he was being called up by the Chief Justice more and more these days.
At first, it was your typical parlay between dignitaries. Wriothesley had officially taken his post with little to no fanfare, but plenty of eyes were still upon him for a fair few good reasons.
Yet a very specific set of eyes were taking in each of their many meetings into account when settling firmly on an opinion of Wriothesley; a personal opinion as well as a professional one. The Duke had fallen under the gaze of the Chief Justice, who seemed intent on taking as long as necessary to thoroughly make a judgment of his present character.
A judgment that was taking quite some time to decide upon.
Still, the Duke gladly humored him.
Though certain feelings started to stir despite himself…

Summary
“That’s cheating, Monsieur,” the wolf shifter complained, swaying on his feet as he fought the effects of the sedative.
“Only if one ascribes to the conditions of whatever game it is you seem to be playing. Make no mistake, this is my house, and when you’re in it, you play by my rules.” The clipped tone left no room for argument.
...
Wriothesley, a wolf-shifter hybrid at the end of his rope, finds himself pressured into accepting a bargain he wouldn't have been caught dead agreeing to, with the powerful Oratrice family he knows next to nothing about except, of course, that the current family head is devastatingly handsome. Tasked with playing the role of a double agent between the Berets and the Oratrice, while looking into a slew of problematic occurrences around the city, he finds himself slipping further into the web of lies he’s woven for years to keep himself alive and keep those with a grip on his and Winnie's life off his back. Will he finally be able to rid himself of the past and trust in those that have his best interest at heart? Or will he bite the wrong hand and reveal truths better left unsaid and secrets kept hidden for his own good?Series

Summary
When Kaveh announces that he’ll need to temporarily stop taking suppressants, Alhaitham assumes that he must be an omega. After all, that’s the only logical reason that Kaveh would have pretended to be a beta for all this time. It’s the only logical reason that Kaveh would ask Alhaitham, an alpha, to leave the house for two weeks.
Except Alhaitham has made a rare miscalculation—and helping Kaveh will be much more difficult than Alhaitham expected, when his own instincts keep pulling him in two different directions.
“To clarify,” Alhaitham says, “you’re saying you’ll feel safer if I’m not here. Do I have that correct?”
“That—that’s not exactly what I said.”
“You said that you don’t know if it’s safe. That implies a degree of uncertainty, which means that you’ll feel less uncertain—and therefore safer—if I’m not around.” When Kaveh doesn’t respond, Alhaitham adds, “I’m just making sure I understand the situation correctly.”
“To be honest,” Kaveh says, “I don’t think you understand the situation at all.”

Summary
Alhaitham shifted slightly in his seat during a regular Akademiya lecture. Most would think he's just sick, but in reality, he's been holding a dirty secret that might just teach him an important lesson: sometimes, knowing too much can be your downfall.
Mainly Azar/Alhaitham, but the last chapter is Dottore/Alhaitham!
