    Summary

    “So which is it? Are you ashamed of me as a person? Ashamed of what others might think to see us together? Or are you ashamed of wanting something you think you don't deserve?” Alhaitham tips his head, just enough that his hair falls away from his eyes. “Which one is it, Kaveh — or is it all of the above? And will I ever get to have a say in what we could be?”

    Kaveh spends his last summer before college working odd jobs, eyes on his future as an architect. Fourteen years later, established and jaded, Kaveh finds that he spends most of his spare time looking back. He doesn’t want to take this life he’s built for granted, but his heart seems to always be at odds with his mind.

    Then he receives a letter from his mother: an invitation to attend her wedding in Fontaine. A chance to catch up, to close the rift between them. Adrift and longing for connection, Kaveh is tempted by her offer. He’s only held back by his inability to speak the language.

    Somehow, his best option is to ask a man drinking coffee alone to help him learn. And so he crosses his fingers and hopes that something good will come from taking the leap.

    Summary

    “People in high society are saying that you switch ladies every other night, each one more ferocious than the last.”

    Childe laughed, holding over his stomach. The glass of wine tipping in a drunken hold while he caught his breath. As his laughter died, he shook his head. Ocean eyes trailed to Zhongli before shifting back to Ekaterina with a smile.

    “You should tell them that they have a very vivid imagination. I’m actually impressed.”

    Summary

    It’s been two months since the storm, and Childe hasn’t seen Zhongli not even once, not since that fateful meeting with the Signora where the truth is finally unveiled.

    And what a fun little kick to the gut that is, the realization that not only had he been played by all sides, but he's also being tossed aside like trash now that his use had run its course.

    It’s not that Childe doesn’t get it. He’s a Harbinger. He knows first-hand what it means to do his duty, to put the mission first and his personal feelings far, far away, preferably locked up in a box, where it wouldn’t interfere with his job. He knows what it’s like working with vipers, to scheme and plot and lie in wait for the opportune moment to stab his opponent in the back.

    But this time, this time Childe can’t help but feel a little (a lot) gutted.

    Stupid. He’s gotten himself stupidly attached.

    --
    A story about Childe trying to move on after the events of 1.1 Update, but some of his actions have consequences, and those consequences have followed him back to Snezhnaya.

    NOTE: THIS FIC WAS DRAFTED BEFORE 1.1 UPDATE CAME OUT. MIND THE CANON-DIVERGENT TAG FOR THIS REASON.

    Summary

    How Hiiragi Shinya developed his feelings for Ichinose Guren over the years.

    This would have canon and non-canon scenarios.

    The present time was between the manga's chapters 46 and not later than chapter 54 so yes, this was before Guren became apeshit crazy.

    Oh, also Byakkomaru is the real MVP. I stan a kind, protective demon.
