Nec Possum Tecum Vivere, Nec Sine Te by 0bibibi

Summary
Kaveh still struggles to pay his debt back, having to endure his "usual" troubles and to deal with his "roommate", Alhaitham. Torn between his past, his present and his future, Kaveh can barely make ends meet.
As their relationship degrades, he can't even imagine what awaits them.
Just like a scholar shouldn't judge a book by its cover, an architect shouldn't build on shifting sands.

Summary
In the relentless whirl of deadlines and life turmoil, Kaveh finds himself sleepless and on the brink of crashing out. The project he’d been working on for hours is completely derailed from what the professor asked them to do, but that’s just one of the many things that he has to worry about. To sate his crisis, Kaveh turns to alcohol for comfort. One drink too many later, and Kaveh finds himself in the apartment of a hot stranger.
Or where Kaveh gets absolutely drunk and wakes up in Ahaitham’s bed.

Summary
Kaveh.
Kaveh leans closer to Sage Naphis. Reaches out, pressing his forehead against the sage’s bare hand. Paying his respects to an old teacher, head bowed, dupattā falling forward for the breath of a moment and cloaking him from Alhaitham's desperate gaze.
Five years ago, Kaveh disappeared from the Akademiya.
Now, Alhaitham watches his old friend ascend back up the dais, ghaghra rippling around pearl strung ankles, and seat himself on the lap of the king.
or
kaveh left him once.
in the flickering firelight, kaveh's lashes are steeped to a burnished gold. his eyes are dark, his breaths shallow, as alhaitham murmurs of love and pleasure in tongues long lost.
kaveh left him once. alhaitham will not let it happen twice.
here: alhaitham, kaveh and a love that kills.

Summary
“Funny.” Alhaitham's voice got lower. “I seem to be handling you just fine so far.” His smirk was still there, but his eyes held a gleam Kaveh had never seen before.
“That is because we are just friends, Haitham.” Two could play that game. Kaveh was tired of being the blushing maiden everytime. “As a lover, I am much more demanding.”
That didn't get the reaction he was waiting for. Instead of retreating, his so-called friend's eyes widened, a shine of challenge in them. Were they getting closer?
“That seems like a hassle.” There was no bite to the words, but somehow, they still seemed scalding.
It was Kaveh's turn to smirk. “I haven't gotten any complaints.”
-
Desperate for work after the fiasco with the Palace of Alcazarzaray, Kaveh accepts a secretive offer that ends up going very wrong. With his career in shambles and his friendship with Alhaitham hanging by a thread, he finds himself with no other choice but to adopt the newborn whose life he'd ruined.
Reluctant of this new member in their lives, Alhaitham suffers to manage putting up with two whiny people inside his house, while trying to hide how deeply in love he is with his senior.

Summary
“The report from the messenger they sent ahead was that the victim was a younger man with blond hair and a red cloak.”
Alhaitham ignored the uneasy feeling in his gut with an ease born from years and years of practice. “You think it might be Kaveh.”
“I do.”

Summary
“Zhongli,” Childe says, rocking them side to side slightly. “I’ve got it.”
“Got what?” Zhongli asks. It’s impossible to not smile when faced with that look - it’s something that had compelled him to want to be Childe’s friend. No one makes him smile as much as Childe can.
“I should suck you off,” Childe continues, still smiling, still rocking them from side to side. “It’s perfect. You’re sexually repressed-” Nonsense, and Zhongli scoffs- “and really bad at picking up women-” Okay, that’s true- “and I’m bisexual. I can suck dick. Good at it, even.”
Zhongli’s heartbeat is far too loud in his ears, but he’s very sure he didn’t mishear that. “Um.” That wasn’t where he thought this conversation would go, but now they’re here it’s actually surprisingly easy to imagine Childe on his knees. “But you’re… not my boyfriend?”
Zhongli knows two things about himself - that he's heterosexual, and that he's going to fail his entire degree if he doesn't get his brain to co-operate with the whole learning thing. Thankfully for Zhongli, he has a beautiful bisexual roommate who is happy to (platonically, of course) blowjob him back on track.

Summary
Kaveh remembered the stories. Cattle that were sacred. Cattle that were never to be touched.
“Please. I’m sorry. I’ll do anything. If it’s punishment you want—or justice—I’ll take it. Just spare them. Some of them are still kids.”
The god tilted his head. Stepped closer. Looked Kaveh over like he was something to be carved open.
“Anything?”
Kaveh swallowed. “Y-yes.”
Or: Kaveh’s juniors pissed off a god. Kaveh offered himself in their place. He didn’t expect the punishment to last a lifetime. And he definitely didn’t expect to enjoy it.

Summary
It starts with the Sabzeruz Festival loops.
…More specifically, it starts with the modifications he’d made to his own Akasha terminal for the ease of personal use. A tiny, innocuous decision Kaveh had made as a student, now spiraling out of control more than a decade later as it sets him on a collision course with an imprisoned Archon, a nationwide conspiracy, and the forgotten truths of Sumeru’s history.
(In which Kaveh falls in love with his roommate, participates in a coup, and reawakens with the memories of a long-dead god. Not necessarily in that order.)

Zhongli, a professor at a local university, puts out an ad to get a new roommate.
He hopes for someone sane, and easy to get along with.
Perhaps what (or who) he gets is a bit too much of what he wanted.

Summary
Gray.
If someone would ask Alhaitham to describe the masses as a color, he would choose the gray out of all the vibrant and beautiful pigmentations that human’s eyes can perceive.
It is not because Alhaitham has no interest in humanity itself: on the contrary, humans as a concept, humans as their discoveries or contraptions, humans as subjects of an analytical study on their resourcefulness are one of the greatest interests on Teyvat, and he can not fathom the possibility that someone isn’t absolutely fascinated by the capability of mankind, wanting to comprehend more, moved by curiosity.It initially was one day like any other day spent in the House of Daena, when a certain Kaveh, a scholar he never met, made his way through Alhaitham's gray field bringing his bright colors with him, changing his life forever.

Summary
Kaveh just wanted to finish his architectural projects, pay off his debts, and maybe enjoy some alcohol without someone ruining his day.
Instead, he’s getting interrogated by an amateur kidnapper who won’t take no for an answer, playing chess with the same amateur who definitely has ulterior motives, and realizing that, maybe, he’s stumbled headfirst into a conspiracy way above his pay grade.
Oh, and the not-so-amateur kidnapper? He’s everywhere.
(Or: Kaveh makes one wrong turn and ends up accidentally kidnapped. Somehow, it's less stressful than dealing with his clients.)

Summary
Alhaitham had always prided himself on his rational, logical, and reasonable way of thinking. He always assumed he simply wasn’t the type to experience attraction, but one fateful afternoon in the House of Daena, he overhears a group of gossiping students talking about his roommate, Kaveh—more specifically, about his looks.
Even more specifically than that, his ass.

Summary
And despite that... Kaveh is… “Lovesick?”
Kaveh’s hands move to cover his face, palms muffling his words as he mutters, “It’s—not quite like that.”
“Well, the ‘sick’ aspect is accurate, at least.”
“No shit,” Kaveh snorts. “The ‘love’ component, though—it’s, uh—”
“You’re not in love?”
He coughs. “The greenhouse in my lungs begs to differ. I—it’s more that my body is mourning a love it knows can’t ever be requited.”
For all the negative feelings Alhaitham’s encountered over the past twelve hours, the sensation that creeps through him now is…
Unfamiliar.
Unknowable.
Despite all the languages he’s fluent in, Alhaitham is unable to conjure a word or phrase with which he can immediately label it. He just knows that whatever this feeling is, it’s unbelievably unpleasant. Like his body is stationary, yet his internal organs are plummeting into the Abyss.
“You love someone who doesn’t love you back?” he asks after a moment.
Kaveh has Hanahaki. That much is known. But who he loves, and whether Alhaitham will be able to save him, is up in the air.

Summary
"My body! That's all I have left."
Alhaitham stares at him in bewilderment.
"What are you-"
"I don't want to owe anymore debts!" Kaveh yells abruptly, clenching his fists. "Nothing in life is free, I know that. I've learned that the hard way. And the last person I want to be indebted to is you."
Kaveh can't pay rent, he hasn't for eight long month, there just isn't enough money. But the last thing he wants is another thing for Alhaitham to dangle over his head.
He initiated it, but still, he never expected to find a new rent contract slipped under his bedroom door with the payment changed from mora to sexual intercourse.
AKA; Alhaitham and Kaveh use rent as an excuse to explore each other's bodies until their greed leads to more than just mere mutual lust.

Summary
Two young students, racing through the underbrush, laughter spilling from their lips. Ignorant of everything else. Hand in hand, ready to face everything together.
Crimson eyes meeting teal—until their hands slip apart.
“In my monochrome world, you are the most colorful thing I’ve ever seen”.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.
An AU where they never reunite after their fallout, and Alhaitham begins his search for Kaveh far too late.

Summary
“Are you a Sentinel?” he blurts, before remembering Skirk's reticence to questions.
She doesn’t stop moving, but she does glance at him from the corner of her eye.
“No,” she says. “But you are a Guide.”
Ajax blinks, faltering. The woman does not stop there.
“You have also been blessed by Celestia. That Vision was next to you when I found you. To come into both blessings while in the Abyss.” She pauses. “You’re either extremely fortunate, or perhaps extremely cursed.”
“A Guide?” Ajax’s brow furrows. “No, I must be a Sentinel.”
------
Ever since Ajax was young, he has dreamed of being a Sentinel like his father. With heightened senses and strength, he could easily be a renowned adventurer, able to make a name for himself.Life does not quite work out that way.

Summary
He almost relished knowing Kaveh finally broke, finally decided to leave – as he’d always believed he would. Alhaitham didn’t deserve him. He never had.
As he neared the hallway’s end, he heard Kaveh’s voice again, though he wasn’t sure it was intended.
“I wouldn’t wish returning to you on my worst enemy.”
Or Kaveh grew tired of waiting for Alhaitham a long time ago, and it was about time he noticed.
