Summary
“Coming!” Al-Haitham calls, navigating the maze of packing peanuts and crates. He undoes the latch on the door and lets it swing open, fully expecting to see the bearded face of his landlord only to be met with the vermillion-eyed face of somebody he had given up hope on seeing for the rest of his life.
There’s a long moment of silence. The aching swell of Vivaldi in the background and the rushing in his ears like the ocean waves.
“...Kaveh?”
Kaveh, globally-renowned musician, disappears off the face of Teyvat. Five years later, he shows up outside of Al-Haitham's door with no explanation but to ask for a bed to sleep in.
It's fine. They only have thirteen years of history, after all.

Summary
After an accident at work, Kaveh sort of dies. But he is granted a chance to come back to life if he can get three people to shed tears of pure love for him. He thinks that would be easy, since he has so many friends, but soon realises that it's not as easy as he thought it would be.
Meanwhile, a grieving Alhaitham is very confused by this new stranger in Sumeru City who acts so much like Kaveh, but is not Kaveh.
“Well, I promise you, Kaveh will be very okay with it. I’m sure of it.”
“If I’m not convinced, will you be suddenly bringing me a letter allegedly written by Kaveh that expresses his agreement?” Alhaitham asked with a raised eyebrow.
“That letter was written by Kaveh. One hundred percent. I don’t know why you keep doubting me,” Kaveh insisted.
Alhaitham hummed to himself. “Just wanted to see how you’d react.”Series

Summary
To Kaveh, Alhaitham is just a brutally honest loner of a genius. To Alhaitham, Kaveh is a bumbling, frivolous, art-obsessed idiot. But, when their worlds collide in an unforgettable way, their lives become intertwined so deeply to the point where becoming untangled is out of the question. Or possibly… outside the realm of their desires.
–or–
Kaveh and Alhaitham gradually realize that their presences in each other’s lives aren’t as painful as either of them initially imagined. Within a college setting, of course.

Summary
“Oh, right – Alhaitham.” Kaveh claps a hand to his forehead. “Cyno, if you see him at the Akademiya tomorrow, don’t mention this to him, would you? I haven’t told him yet.”
“Told him?” Cyno asks slowly, a wary glint in his eye. “What exactly haven’t you told him?”
“That I’m getting married,” Kaveh grimaces. “I wanted to tell him myself – I suppose I do want him at the wedding after all, you know – but I didn’t get a chance yet. You know what it’s like, trying to have a conversation with him.”
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
Kaveh is a single man. That's about it, really.or: the one in which Kaveh gets married, but not to whom you think.

Summary
“I’m an angel,” the angel says, doing jazz hands a little pathetically. “It means I’m here to save you. Don’t you remember me? We met that day in the records room, but I understand if you don’t remember. You were a little distracted.”
“I was a little distracted being stabbed,” Al-Haitham says unbelievingly. “Also, angels aren’t real.”
In which Kaveh is an angel, Al-Haitham is a disgruntled working man, and this can't end any way but badly.

If it's all the same to you (I love you) by RobynsRampage
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
30 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
His junior comes right up behind him as he pauses, his tone suddenly softer. “You’re angry with me.”
“Of course I’m angry!” Kaveh spins around on heel and forced himself to stare up at his roommate, barely able to keep the tremble out of his lip. “We had plans and you just…tossed them aside. Without so much as asking me!”
Alhaitham’s brows pinch together as he stares Kaveh down, as if trying to decipher a puzzle. “You could have just come with us-”
“That’s not the point!” He’s far too drunk for this. It’s getting harder and harder to fight back the sting in his eyes and the tight squeeze in his chest. “I just…I need to go to bed. We can talk about this later.”
--
Kaveh's carried a torch for Alhaitham pretty much since the first day they met. It's obvious to everyone but the Grand Sage himself, but Kaveh isn't ready to put himself out there and risk being shut down.
Turns out keeping his feelings to himself ends up hurting a lot more than he expected.
In which Kaveh gaslights himself (a lot), Alhaitham's bad at feelings, Cyno's jokes are terrible, and Tighnari's just trying his best.

Summary
In thirty minutes, Alhaitham is going to be home, and Kaveh needs to be able to be his most composed self for the inevitable confrontation that will happen the second his roommate is through the door.
Actually— no, scratch that.
Why live through the confrontation at all when he could move out right the fuck now? If he starts packing this very second he can at least take a bag for some of his clothes and another for his most important tools. Right? Right.
Kaveh accidentally ends a phone call with “I love you.” Alhaitham… deals with it.

Summary
The young man is a thing of ethereal beauty, the kind of sight Xiao has only heard in stories and legends. When the man notices his approach and turns to look at him, innocent amber eyes blinking back at Xiao in amazement, Xiao cannot help the warmth that blooms on the back of his neck and spreads to his face, his lips parted in a quiet gasp.
“An angel,” he whispers to himself. A spirit of life and good fortune, of plentiful harvests and inexplicable miracles. To be lucky enough to find oneself in the presence of such a rare and fantastical being is to have all of one’s wishes granted, or so the stories often say.
He is Xiao’s polar opposite.

Summary
A year ago, Aether’s twin sister Lumine was killed in a freak homicide, and the case went cold. After a year of semi-effective recovery, a bad breakup, and the need for a fresh start, he packs up what’s left of his belongings and moves to a small nowhere town well outside of Mondstadt, hoping it’ll be the breath of fresh air he needs to really move on with his life.
Instead, on the first night in the new place…he finds himself haunted by her restless spirit.
Enter, Xiao: a friend of a friend, courtesy of Venti, and "a guy who deals with ghosts." When the hauntings increase, and Aether finds himself in need of Xiao's protection, he realizes his "fresh start" is about to be full of repressed trauma...and a significant amount of questioning his sexuality. Oh—and a little bit of solving a murder, too.

Summary
Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.
Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.
It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.

Of course, this easy escape doesn't last too long for Aether, as his past would soon catch up to him.
That, and the envious gazes he'd get, as his stylist did his hair, was becoming hard to ignore.

Summary
Aether must know who he is. Xiao has a pretty distinct face and hairstyle, and the highlight of this event was his team’s match. But the conversation so far hasn’t been made awkward by any requests for pictures or solicitations for advice. No, this is the first time Xiao has had a somewhat normal conversation with someone other than his teammates.
Either Aether doesn’t know who Xiao is—which would be ignorant and amusing—or he does, and still, he’s treating Xiao just like anyone else.
The thought makes Xiao feel simultaneously unsteady and also firmly rooted in place.

Summary
“I want you to accompany me on my visit to my family home, in Snezhnaya.”
And the starry-eyed Traveler watched Childe swaying into the music for several moments. Aether was moved by this and was a little surprised to hear him say it. Something was stirred in him, something not accounted for by the alcohol, or the faint smell of his cologne that came and went like the sound of music. Aether was moved and felt persistently that, in more ways than others, the Harbinger was being entirely genuine.
