    Summary

    Something is spinning, spinning, in his stomach, in his head. It twists around his lungs until he can’t breathe.

    Albedo wonders what else he’d seen. If he’d looked past the concentration, past the supposed attractiveness, and into the core of his artistry. Albedo is a painter. Albedo is a mess, he is troubled, but above the surface, he is a painter—and he hopes that’s all there is to notice; he hopes that’s all Kaeya saw.

    five times albedo does kaeya’s nails, and the once that kaeya does his.

    Summary

    The human’s hand was warm. Warmer than Misurn remembered anyone’s hands being. He tried to think of his lover and recall the temperature of their skin, but the warmth seeping through his clothes and spreading throughout his chest was making it hard to recall. No one was as warm as Kabru—no Canaries, no elves.

    Summary

    “I suppose this is where we part,” Albedo says once they reach the fountain and come to a stop. “Thank you for the tea.”

    “Thank you for your company,” Kaeya returns with a soft smile. “You’re welcome to come over anytime. Klee, too. I mean it.”

    Albedo meets his gaze before ducking his head in a nod. “I’ll keep that in mind,” he says quietly. He carefully chooses to call the warmth blooming in his chest a result of being flattered by the statement, rather than anything else. “Goodbye for now, Captain.”

    “I think we’re close enough now that you can stop being so formal all the time,” Kaeya says airily, eye twinkling. “Use my name more. I like the way you make it sound.”

    He blinks in surprise, lips parting but no response coming out. Kaeya watches him for a minute before laughing lightly, raising a hand in a small wave. “I’ll see you later, Chief Alchemist.”

    Or, in a world where those recognized by Celestia are gifted with dragons instead of visions, Kaeya's tiny companion becomes oddly attached to the Knight of Favonius' Chief Alchemist.

    Eventually, her master does too.

    Summary

    On a pleasant afternoon in Mondstadt, Albedo returns from killing an identical version of himself, with shaking hands and last words he can't get out of his head: "What makes you so special?"

    After all, what kind of alchemist leaves a burning question unanswered? And what kind of alchemist is afraid of getting his hands dirty?

    or, albedo freaks out after the events of 2.3 and goes into a downward spiral involving questionable self-experimentation, a trail of burned relationships, and whole lot of identity crises

    Summary

    Two years ago, Albedo and Kaeya made a solemn pact with one another. If one of them should lose control and become a threat to Mondstandt, the other would stop them no matter the cost. Now that promise is put to the test, leaving them with a heartbreaking choice.

    Summary

    Albedo would like to blame two things for the current situation he found himself in.

    Firstly, his overwhelming fondness for Aether overshadowed his ability to fully understand everything that was said that night.

    Secondly, his inclination to stay in his room and read in his personal library or research in his new secluded study resulted in him not being fully aware of every change in the house.

    This is what led to him getting caught completely off-guard—staring wide-eyed at the Calvary Captain standing in the kitchen at 3 in the morning, returning an equally baffled stare.

     

    OR

    Albedo and Kaeya become roommates in Aether’s teapot and take the opportunity to get to know each other a little bit better :)

    Summary

    “So,” Aventurine’s hand dipped into the collar of his shirt, tracing the column of his throat, his collarbone. Argenti’s eyes opened, an emerald green he knew too well meeting the darkened blues of an unfamiliar sea, storm clouds forming in the far distance. “Am I worth it?”

    Argenti blinked hard, then shook his head with a chuckle. Aventurine’s hand fell away, and he was cold. He grabbed the limb back, holding it gently within his own, and met the shine of apricot lenses. “You misunderstand me, I’m sorry. Can we meet on the beach tomorrow at sunrise? I’d like to draw you, if that is agreeable.”

    Summary

    Despite his abundance of good fortune, Aventurine believes his eyes to be the single most unlucky thing about him.

    So, when he meets a Knight of Beauty by the name of Argenti, it twists uncertainty in his gut at the way he compliments their clashing hues.

    Or, Aventurine hates his eyes, Argenti doesn’t, and he thinks he might be able to learn to live with that.

    Kaeya and Albedo’s very bodies are marked by the Khaenri’ahn star. In another time and place, it would’ve been a sign of shared fealty, of trust and honor and godlessness.

    Summary

    Albedo gasped. His eyes widened, what had once been a lilac colored eye was now blood red. He could now see the fangs poking out from lips. A vampire. Just like the rumours and stories said. A shiver went down his spine as that blood colored eye watched him coldly as one may regard a fly.

    Kaeya watched him carefully, “And pray tell, why should I not just tear out your throat from where you stand? What do you have to trade in exchange for scuttling about in my home, dear alchemist?”

    The blonde gritted his teeth and pushed the hand holding his jaw aside. “Perhaps I could teach you some manners first,” said Albedo flatly as he stared into the creature of the night’s gaze, rubbing at the sore spot on his jaw where the vampire had grabbed him.

    Summary

    For some people, every night is the same because they follow the same routine. Meanwhile, for others, there are nights in which different events occur, away from the rest of the world, with the moon and the stars as the only witnesses to the events of that moment.
    Sometimes one needs those nights to let one's feelings come out, but other times they are only necessary to relax and have a moment of peace impossible to get during the day; maybe what is needed is company, or maybe all at the same time; but if there is something that happened that night, then only the moon and the cecilias were witnesses of that beautiful dance performed by a couple in love.

    Summary

    They were taking Dorian away.
    Albedo really didn’t mind all that much, actually.

    Albedo’s older brother is being transferred into a new home due to his behavioral problems. It gives Albedo some peace and quiet. Some time to himself. Some time to think and reflect on the place in which he lived, and those who he lived with.
    As he grows older, Dorian's absence begins to affect him in ways he never thought it would. Even if Albedo cant remember his name anymore.

    And, most frighteningly, Rhinedottir begins to change, too.

    Summary

    Of course, Kaveh would never force Alhaitham into doing something he didn’t want to, but selfishly, he wishes that his boyfriend would dramatically profess his love with all the cheesy, flowery words from the books he buries his nose in. Perhaps he’s not worthy of such verbosity.

    or

    Kaveh wonders why Alhaitham never says “I love you,” to him.

    Summary

    Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.

    No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.

    It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.

    or,

    Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.

    “I also wanted to find out… why my father left me in Mondstadt.”

    Albedo nods.

    “And what were your conclusions?”

    The candle by their bed illuminates the sheen of dampness on Kaeya’s shoulders. The towel from his shower is still slung over his back, and Albedo reaches up and runs his fingers through his wet hair, sifting through the dark locks.

    Kaeya holds his gaze, a fraction longer than quite necessary, and does not answer for a while.
