Summary
The line between life and death is not as solid as you'd think. There are those with the power to touch that line, in one way or another.
You would think that two people like that would understand each other better.

Summary
Sometimes there's nothing to do but wait and hope.
In a situation such as the one Fontaine is facing, it is necessary to triage, to prioritize. The people of Fontaine need clean water, unspoiled food, shelter that will not collapse on them in the night, and they need these things immediately. Exports may not be restored for months.
It is only logical that exports of medicine made from a variant of Beryl Conch to treat a condition found in less than one in ten thousand people will be low on the list of priorities.
Even if that medicine is the only barrier between Alhaitham and a gradual slide into death.

Summary
"In my dream, there was a light," you say. "So bright that it burned."
"A fire?" Jarayan asks.
"No," you say. "No, it was not a fire."
"A very bright light," Musiqi muses. "Shall we call you Nur, then?"
It is not your name. You know this with the same absolute certainty that you felt when you heard Jarayan's voice. But while it is not correct, it would be impractical to go entirely without an alias until you've found the correct one, and "Nur" is not actively unpleasant.
"You may call me Nur," you say. "For now."
In which even without their memories, even without their names, Alhaitham and Kaveh choose each other. (No knowledge of Haibane Renmei required, but it might enhance the experience.)

Summary
"You look terrible," Kaveh says. "Do you feel any differently other than the fever? Worse? Dare we hope for better?"
Alhaitham sighs. "About the same."
Approximately 1650 words of Kaveh taking care of Alhaitham.

Summary
"You don't look well."
"I don't feel well," Alhaitham says. "So I would appreciate it if you got to the point."
Cyno sighs. "There has been an... incident with the Kshahrewar expedition," he says. "Someone reconnected the nearby Ruin Golem's power systems, and its weapon systems reactivated."
"Kaveh," Alhaitham murmurs, a little too dizzy to keep himself from verbalizing that first thought.
Cyno grimaces. "He helped several students escape the area, but he didn't leave himself."
Alhaitham's head throbs. He rubs at his sinuses. "Of course he didn't," he says. It's Kaveh. "He went into the Golem, didn't he?"
Cyno sighs. "The students said that he did, in fact, go into the Golem."
Alhaitham has the flu. Unfortunately, Kaveh has need of Alhaitham.

Summary
Lumine's sometimes-unfortunate adventures in Teyvat, with co-stars big brother Kaeya and weird bff Paimon, and special guest appearances by many of our other favorite characters. It definitely wanders into AU territory at some point but I don't know where...
Whump and hurt/comfort, because that's what I want to write and that's as good a reason as any.
Started prior to We Will Be Reunited, so some of the lore is off. I'm not fixing it.

A Treatise on the Inherent Moral Failures of Domestic Cohabitation (or, How to Fall in Love Through the Socratic Method and Poorly Timed Silences) by the_untamed_poet25
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
Kaveh paced. “Okay. Fine. Let’s play your game.”
“It’s your game.”
“Shut up. Assume mutual desire. Assume emotional repression. Assume shared domestic space.”
“Assumed.”
“Now: Is it ethical to pursue a romantic relationship if doing so risks destabilizing the existing cohabitative equilibrium?”
Alhaitham blinked. “You’re asking if kissing me would ruin the kitchen schedule.”
“I’m asking if kissing you would ethically constitute sabotage.”
There was silence.
Or, the ethics of love were complicated, but the ethics of not kissing each other were worse.

Briars and Roses 'Round Your Heart by sonotfine

Summary
The short of it: Kaveh caught a very rare manifestation of the Withering that was not Eleazar after clearing out a remaining pocket of said Withering by himself. Alone. In the woods. Following directions the Traveler scribbled on a tree trunk somewhere, probably. This conclusion will eventually be drawn.
The long of it: Kaveh went home coughing up flower petals in a stroke of truly poetic misfortune, and if Alhaitham's presence exacerbated his mysterious new problem terribly, well, that was just one more way in which Kaveh would have to endure excruciating pain for fear of losing a man he could not have, did not deserve to have, but was too greedy to let go of.

Two fools, the impasse, and the disease that punishes the unspoken thing between them. Love is as cruel as you choose to make it for yourself. Fortunately, it takes two to love, in this case. [Hanahaki Disease]
