    Summary

    “Monsieur Chief Justice,” Wriothesley says, not sure if he wants to laugh or walk straight into the sea. “Are you unfamiliar with floriography?”

    Returning to his dockets, Neuvillette says, “I understand it is a passing trend among the young people of Fontaine, but I have never given it much of my own regard.”

    Wriothesley chokes. Half of Fontainian society communicates via the unspoken language of flowers, using bouquets to augment or even subvert their messages. “I wouldn’t call it a passing trend,” Wriothesley manages, strangled.

    Wriothesley teaches Neuvillette the subtle political art of floriography, and Neuvillette takes the opportunity to communicate more privately with the Duke.

    Summary

    “You know,” he rasps, voice still wrecked from fever and sleep, “you’re really good at this.”

    Neuvillette tilts his head. “At reheating soup?”

    “No. Well. Yes. That too. But I meant this.”

    He gestures vaguely with his eyes—because his hands are trapped under the blanket and his pride is trapped under Neuvillette’s patience.

    Neuvillette hums, almost dryly. “At fussing over you?”

    “At staying,” Wriothesley says, more quiet now.

    Neuvillette does not respond right away.

    Instead, he dips the spoon back into the broth, scoops a careful portion, and brings it up again—steady, slow, like ritual. He waits for Wriothesley to part his lips. Waits until the soup is gone before saying softly,

    “You are surprisingly easy to stay for.”

    Or, Wriothesley gets sick, and Neuvillette gets soft.

    Summary

    “You ever get tired of it?”

    Neuvillette considers that. “No. But I do get tired of being a symbol.”

    Wriothesley looks up.

    “I do not always want to represent law,” Neuvillette says quietly. “Sometimes, I want to be… someone.”

    Wriothesley’s smile fades—not into sadness, but something more careful. More deliberate.

    “You are someone,” he says. “To me.”

    Neuvillette feels it like a warmth under the skin. Like light through water.

    “I know,” he says.

    And it’s true. He knows. In the way Wriothesley waits for him. In the way Wriothesley brews tea he doesn’t drink himself. In the way he keeps a second chair always pulled out now, even when Neuvillette is late.

    Or, Wriothesley calls it sorting papers, and Neuvillette calls it staying.

    Summary

    Childe has feelings for Zhongli. Zhongli has feelings for Childe.

    Things could be so easy, but not when you're a fatui harbinger with abyssal taint and a literal god. Both of them having to deal with their difficult pasts and presents, on top of their obvious differences and their own insecurities. Because if you ask either of them? There's simply no way that the object of their affection could ever have feelings for them. Not after everything they've done in their past.
