Summary
“You don’t remember me?” Romeo murmurs.
Not-Carlo’s expression morphs ever so slightly from that passive gaze to something a tad more… remorseful. “I know who you are. I know who Carlo is, what he means to you.” Not-Carlo bites at his bottom lip, still refusing to meet Romeo’s gaze. “But I’m not him.” Then, almost as an afterthought: “I’m sorry.”
The storm ends, and the world persists. Romeo, brought to Hotel Krat and fixed up, vows not to rest until Carlo remembers him once again.
Unfortunately, things are rarely as cut and dried as he would like them to be.

These Golden Regrets by ThreeOfSpades (Third_Time_Charmed)

Summary
"Of all the ridiculous, risky things I expect of you, gambler," he said, slowly and deliberately, "bringing a trained assassin to your own home — one that attempted to kill you mere hours ago, no less — was decidedly not on the list of things I ever anticipated."
The tone was scathing, harsh and reproachful, but it did little to faze the smaller man, whose smile never faltered. "One of these days I'm going to teach you that to gamble well means being able to anticipate any outcome, no matter how ridiculous or impossible it might seem."
While on their first field assignment since Penacony, Aventurine and Ratio are surprised to encounter a vengeful Avgin mercenary. As soon as she speaks, however, a name and face from the past spring instantly to Aventurine's mind — that of his supposedly dead sister, Kadriya. In what proves to be the biggest gamble of his life, he strikes a deal with her to convince her to come back to Pier Point with him, even though he can't be sure of her actual identity. What follows is a tense and chaotic ride that none of them expected, filled with mystery, secrets, distrust… and regret.

An Emergency Decision by iridescentmirrorshkvh

Summary
“List me then.”
Kaveh took some time to respond. Furtive glances cast between the book on his lap and to where Alhaitham sat on the opposite side of the table told him that Kaveh was still ruminating. Until –
“You?” Kaveh drew himself upright, his eyes sharp with focus colliding with Alhaitham’s. “What? Why?”
He doubted that Tighnari had received the same hostility when offering his services. “If you don’t want to list Tighnari, then naturally the responsibility would fall to me. I’m as knowledgeable of your history of ailments as he is.”
“That’s not the issue,” Kaveh rebuked, leaning forwards with a sudden ferocity. “You would be just as willing to travel to Liyue if the circumstances came to it? I don’t buy it. What’s in this for you?”
Not for the first time he questioned how it had come to this between them, despite fully knowing the answer. Fruitless endeavours. “An emergency contact of my own.”
(Alhaitham offers to be Kaveh’s emergency contact in exchange for Kaveh acting as his. As to how things pertaining to Kaveh usually transpire, this does not go as planned, and a difficult truth comes to light.)

Summary
The gambler reeks of alcohol; it won't serve any purpose to cater to the whims of someone who is so evidently impaired.
Kakavasha opens his mouth.
“…I wish to meet ▇▇▇.”
And then—
Glass seems to break, crack, shatter all across. It shows on Lapis’ face—something abrupt and vaguely familiar.
The hand on Kakavasha’s cheek slackens, lowers, falls. It falls, but it doesn’t tumble fully out of reach—the doctor’s fingers, instinctively tightening around Lapis’ wrist.
“…I see.”
Lapis looks at him—in hurt, in regret, in self-loathing, in too many things Kakavasha sees in his own reflection.
“…My apologies,” a breath; something tender, “I don’t know where he is either.”
…Oh.
“Oh,” Kakavasha says.
——
Or, scripts are swapped and roles are reversed. It changes nothing and everything.
