    Summary

    Alhaitham already knows what Kaveh will say. He will sweep his hair off his neck as he is wont to do when he is nervous, and provide an easy way to leave the conversation without giving too much away.

    Instead, Kaveh goes strangely silent, shifting uncomfortably on his feet, and glances back between Alhaitham and their friends.

    "Actually," he starts, sweeping his gaze along their faces, "I'll probably be walking home with him a while longer."

    Alhaitham is quite used to Kaveh denying that they live together. Whether the vendors in the bazaar believe him is another issue, but Kaveh always corrects anyone that dares assume they might enjoy spending time together.

    Naturally, Alhaitham assumes Kaveh will continue to keep this 'secret' even when they start seeing each other, out of shame or embarrassment or otherwise.

    As it turns out, there are things even Alhaitham does not know.

    Summary

    It is those eyes, Ajax thinks. Amber and gold, shifting carnelian flecks that seem to draw even the sunlight's fractal shards toward them. Those eyes, he decides, must keep the planet spinning about its axis.

    "Morning, xiangsheng."

    The metallic scales of Zhongli's cheekbone glitter again as he yawns. "How are you feeling..?" Ajax asks, sliding his fingers down an intricate pattern creeping down his neck. "You... ah, turned, a bit, in your sleep."

    Zhongli blinks hazily, with saccharine innocence almost like a mortal's. He looks down then, and observes the draconian features of his body like an adolescent thing passing through his very first molt. "Oh, I..." He pinkens slightly, in that way that swirls crystalflies in Ajax's stomach, before flicking his tail restlessly against the bed. "Mh. 'M… Fine. Just feel…" he wriggles his hips, grumbling slightly, "...empty."

    Zhongli goes into heat, as he has many times before. This time, however, he craves something a bit — deeper.

    Summary

    Peering into the mirror, Alhaitham found a pair of wide tourmaline eyes staring back at him - pools of aquamarine dotted red and gold at the slits, just like his original human pupils. And his body, a gradient of soft greys and whites, had been decorated with intricate black spots all throughout. Reminiscent of a snow leopard or a silver rishboland tiger, the speckles ran all the way down his sides to his hind legs, and inky, elegant lines curled around his face as if kohl had been painted into his very fur.

    Alhaitham, by some curse or some miracle, had been turned into a cat.

    Summary

    "Fine, then," he says, as the robe slips off his shoulders in a stream of silk,

    "..Draw me comme l'un de tes 'hommes Fontanoises.'"

    ...

    Alhaitham lounges amid a sea of jewel toned fabrics, and he sparkles among them with the translucent brilliance of a diamond himself. Kaveh can see his mind at work within the pages, can watch his eyes light up or see the scrunch of his brow, and it is the only thing about Alhaitham he cannot seem to pin down to the sketch.

    Kaveh wants to capture his lover in a portrait.

    Summary

    Alhaitham happened to be the first real guest of Kaveh's newly finished, long-awaited, personally designed house. The place glittered from floor to ceiling, with all the extravagance and elegance a wealthy architect could buy in the heart of the city.

    But even then, some things never change. It couldn't escape Alhaitham's notice that the bathroom was chock full of his favourite products, or that the familiar aroma of sandalwood oudh permeated each room.

    So when Kaveh, after a candlelit dinner, offered (asked) him to stay the night, despite the state of the unfurnished guest bedroom - which Alhaitham knew was missing even a modest mattress - it was as if a decade-long puzzle he was too scared to solve finally clicked into place.

    Summary

    Promise and ambition, strung by waves of the sea,
    Weave you carefully through a changing destiny.
    Embroidered like a painting on a silk brocade
    Cut, sewn and stitched to the intricate whims of fate.

    Enduring all your trials, and in pain finding mirth,
    You reach out to the future and pray for rebirth.

    In the end, every step in this long dance of strings
    Will lead you back to Alatus,
    The Golden-Winged King.

    Ⰶ⋯Ⰶ⋯Ⰶ

    The Liyue you'd come to know was bursting at the seams. And as the Tianjiang of the Liyue Qixing, you had a responsibility to sew it back together, one thread at a time.
    If only you knew how it'd tear you apart in the process.
