    Summary

    “One scholar’s complaint should not doom an ancient ruin,” Candace says frantically. “The domain is a priceless remnant from King Deshret’s kingdom. It’s a cultural artifact that belongs to the Sands!”

    “This domain sits far from any authority that can keep the area safe,” Cyno says.

    “It’s far from Sumeru City’s authority, you mean,” Candace retorts.

    “It’s far from the Matra’s offices,” Cyno corrects. “It’s the Matra that keeps scholars safe. And it is the Matra that rescues anyone trapped in domains.”

    -–

    Kaveh goes missing on an expedition to the desert, leading to a tense reunion amongst the desert gang. It’s a headache fueled by conflicting motivations. Aside from finding the missing party, Cyno wants order, Candace wants them gone, Dehya wants everyone to get along–

    And Alhaitham just wants Cyno to himself.

    Summary

    Cyno and Tighnari have been best friends since college. While Cyno hasn't dated much, Tighnari has had quite a few partners, though he is discreet about it. When Tighnari and Cyno sleep together for the first time, after a drunk heat-ridden fun night, it poses the question: What now...? When one person wants a relationship, and the other person pulls away...

    Summary

    “Okay. What can I do to assist?” Tighnari really didn’t see what the big deal was. Did Cyno need some kind of first aid prepared in case the investigation got dangerous? Perhaps a powder that would make the suspect more inclined to speak the truth in interrogation? A poison strong enough to take out a sumpter beast? Tighnari could certainly do that.
    “I need a date.”

    Oh.

    “A… what?” Tighnari asked in case he’d heard wrong.

    Or: Cyno needs a fake boyfriend and they're both fucking idiots.

    Summary

    “Can I help you?” Alhaitham asked, settling back into his chair. He was never completely sure where he stood with Tighnari. Were they friends? Possibly. Probably. They drank together, at least. But Tighnari was a little too sharp for Alhaitham’s comfort; he always felt a little transparent under his eyes. But now those eyes weren’t focused on him. They weren’t really focused on anything. Tighnari looked half-mad with exhaustion, hair mussed and ears twitching wildly. He leaned one hand heavily against the doorway as he slumped in place.
    “Where is the Temple of Silence?”

     

    When Hermanubis turns against his host and leaves Cyno near dead, Alhaitham has too little time and too much desert to search in a desperate bid to find the Temple of Silence and the only people who might be able to save him. (Oh yeah. And then maybe he can confess.)

    Summary

    Love was a foreign concept to Sylvain - it didn't matter if it was being given, or being received, he didn't recognize it. So it's laughable, really, that this would be his downfall. Sylvain hadn't even thought that he could love. But apparently he could.

    And it was going to kill him.
