    Battle scars are nothing new to mercenaries. The wounds that one cannot see, though... Those are more difficult to cope with. Soren-centric.

    Peace is the cruelest season. The war is over, but Illuga is still at war with himself. Haunted and hollow, Illuga finds a dark logic in an old myth: that some are meant to burn out, not to last. On the edge of the north spire, he is met not by salvation but by devastating truth. And the one man who refuses to let him go.

    Summary

    Bdubs pauses, and Etho sees that flash across his eyes; something like embarrassment. Flushed on his face. “Well—Yeah, mostly. I mean, I figure — I don’t wanna rush you or nothin’, and then after a couple years I guessed you probably weren’t interested but you never told me to clear off so that’s just us, then, the flirting. The joking around about you being my wife, my boyfriend, the divorces and what have you.”

    “Right,” Etho says.

    “And it didn’t mean nothin’, ‘cept the two of us being us.”

    Etho pauses. He looks up at the ceiling — not quite able to meet Bdubs eyes — and twirls a strand of dark curls around his finger. “I mean, I think that meant something. Since it was us.”

    — ethubs, a decade of familiarity, and first times

    Summary

    In the aftermath of New York, the freshly formed team is still trying to figure out how to live and work together without some kind of property damage.

    Naturally, nothing says 'Team Bonding' like the decision to fix their fearless leader's love-life and hunt down an AWOL Steve Rogers.

    Or, the Thunderbolts break a few timelines, attempt to un-fuck history, and decide they maybe, possibly, kinda tolerate each other in the process.

    Summary

    Lord Kusanali was safe. Azar was exiled, Cyno and the Traveler were bouncing around Sumeru finishing off the remaining Fatui hanging around, and Tighnari had recovered from his injury. On paper, everything was going well.
    So why was Alhaitham shaking as he attempted to unlock his front door for the first time in weeks?

    In the vulnerability of injury and exhaustion, Alhaitham can’t quite find the strength to deal with his emotions and spirals.

    Summary

    Alhaitham steps closer, looking at Kaveh with an odd look in his eyes. He’s never seen it before.

    “Did you mean it?” He asks, his words slower this time. “That you love me?”

    “You–” Kaveh furrows his eyebrows, at a loss. “Were you even listening to me this whole time?”

    “Kaveh, please.”

    Alhaitham and Kaveh's relationship is supposed to move slowly. Yet, when Kaveh breaks down and Alhaitham takes care him, Kaveh accidentally blurts out "I love you" much too early.

    Summary

    Alhaitham's life has been a constant test that he is failing miserably. He doesn't know what he's doing wrong, or why it's so hard to just act the way everyone else does. Kaveh's little comments about his supposed lack of humanity aren't helping either. Does it matter that he knows he's not a machine if the whole world believes he is?

    Summary

    “Hmph.” Kaveh steps closer. "So why choose to listen to my voice even when I’m complaining about you?”

    Alhaitham shuts his eyes. “Just because.”

    “Being a little vague there, Scribe Alhaitham.”

    “I just…” Alhaitham sighs. “I just really like your voice.”

    Or, Kaveh learns sign language because he fears that Alhaitham is growing tired of his voice. He doesn't understand that Alhaitham actually... loves it.

    Summary

    If there was one thing Albedo considered himself good at apart from alchemy, it was observing people.

    It happened to be one of his favourite pastimes too, although he had to admit there was one person in particular he loved to observe especially.

    The way Kaeya made an attempt at hiding his smile whenever he saw something uplifting, or the way he had a habit of tossing a coin whenever he was feeling anxious. The way he flipped his hair back to either intimidate or impress, and how graciously he moved in battle.

    One thing Albedo had noticed though, was the way he avoided using his hands to touch people.

    Or more specifically, touch him.

    Now Albedo didn’t mind per se. Kaeya made sure to make him feel loved in other ways, their intriguing conversations more than enough to keep him satisfied. Soft kisses they shared when no one was looking, book recommendations with sweet notes hidden between their pages.

    He just wished Kaeya would allow him to hold his hand, even just once.

    ---

    Or: Kaeya is embarrassed about his cold hands, so Albedo shows him he doesn't mind.

    In return, Kaeya proves to Albedo he most definitely wanted to hold his hand all along.

    Summary

    Inevitably, gentle kisses from near-death is a hard thing to undo the trauma of, and Kaeya finds himself unsettled way more than he should be by a tragedy that unfolded on Dragonspine and left Albedo holding hands with the skeleton of post-mortem. It's a delicate line, and Kaeya hates how close Albedo got to crossing it for entirely selfish reasons. Albedo, on the other hand, can't quite get himself to stay grounded, and finds that task harder than it already was because of Kaeya calling his feelings about him into question.

    ❝ I was lost in thought. I kept thinking about how weird it was to imagine you weren't here, that your heartbeat wasn't something that could be felt or heard by anyone or anything, that it simply ceased to exist. I don't know, it just did weird things to my head. ❞

    ❝ I'm still here. Perhaps only ever so slightly, but I wasn't buried on Dragonspine. If I'm being honest with myself, I don't know how I am, but clearly someone or something wanted me to stay. Is that not enough? ❞
