Summary
“Sometimes, it gets to a point that I,” Kaveh swallows. “That I don’t know if I’d ever like to move out of your house. And I know I’ll have to, eventually, if we make it out of here, but that doesn’t stop me from selfishly wishing I could stay.”
“You can,” Alhaitham says immediately. His voice is low as he stands so painfully close, close enough that Kaveh can smell him, that comforting woodsy scent that both makes his stomach flip and his nerves ease. “You can stay. I never had any plans to ask you to leave.”
Kaveh blinks. “Really?”
With Teyvat in danger due to the corruption from Irminsul, Kaveh realizes that there's things he's left unsaid to Alhaitham. In the event they don't make it out alive, he spills to him how he's felt for a long, long time.
Takes place during the scene on the rooftop of the Temple.

Summary
“Alhaitham,” Kaveh drawls quietly, the alcohol hitting his system. “Why don’t you touch me?”
Alhaitham blinks. He wasn’t expected to be asked about this, of all things. This goes against everything he had gathered from his observations of Kaveh’s behavior.
“Because… you don’t like being touched?” Alhaitham supplies.
“But I do,” Kaveh whines. “And you never touch me.”
Or, Kaveh keeps reacting strangely when Alhaitham touches him. In observing why exactly Kaveh's behaving like this, Alhaitham realizes that what Kaveh desires aligns awfully close to his own.

Summary
Alhaitham’s eyes travel down and then back up the length of Kaveh’s body as he glares at Kaveh. “Unfortunately, not all of my decision-making is guided by logic.”
Shuddering under Alhaitham’s scrutiny, Kaveh flushes with anger at how his body still automatically reacts to Alhaitham after all these years.
“Regardless, we used to be…” Kaveh’s voice trails off as he realizes that he doesn’t really know what he should say.
“…research partners,” he finishes lamely, placing his hands on his hips in an attempt to look more intimidating. “I know you don’t approve of my methods or reasoning or…anything, but I didn’t think you would be this purposefully spiteful. I thought it beneath even you.”
Kaveh goes to the desert for a personal project. Alhaitham meets him where he is.

Summary
She tries to remember everything from when she was alive, tries to hold the images for as long as she can. It keeps the wait from feeling fruitless, she thinks. Some echo as clear as a crystal, burning as bright in her mind as the day they happened, while some she can barely muster into a proper memory. In the end they all never last too long.
Her mind wanders in the Yellow Springs.

Summary
Nick Wilde moves in with Judy Hopps and immediately discovers a problem: they are doing everything married couples do, except for the part where they’ve never been on a date.
Somewhere between shared evenings on the couch, accidental “I love yous,” and learning how to ask for what they need without falling apart, Nick starts testing how much happiness he’s allowed to want—and how much steadiness Judy is already offering him without realizing it.
Everyone else already knows what this is. Nick is just trying to survive it.
A (maddening, mentally insane) story about domestic intimacy, boundary negotiations, paralyzing anxiety, and two idiots who haven’t noticed they’re already home.

Summary
Convinced it will make them better partners, Judy asks Nick to take the 5 Love Languages Quiz. He refuses, of course. Obviously, the solution for this is to secretly love him in all five ways, and figure out what he likes best!
The results of this... vary greatly. She winds up discovering far more than she expects.

Summary
Throughout the years, the moon prince would send her gifts she wouldn’t be able to procure on her own. Most were rare medicinal items from completed requests. Some, she received out of nowhere. And sometimes, he’d send her incense. Not too expensive though—she’d reproach him for that.
So when a wandering merchant told the moon prince of an incense called “To Be Closest to the One You Desire,” he immediately thought of her. The name sounded poetic. The merchant didn’t want money—only something of value to the moon prince. Skeptical, he obliged.
He sent the incense to the apothecary as a casual thank-you. And that’s when it started.
He began hearing her thoughts—the ones not meant to be said aloud.
Thoughts that left him reeling.
Confounded.
And maybe… wanting more.Or: the JinMao fic where Jinshi starts hearing Maomao’s internal monologues, and absolutely cannot handle it.

Summary
“What are you still doing here? I thought a person like you should be busy.”
“I have a lost professor in the midst. Guiding him should be my job.”
“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’re distracted.” Phainon told him Aglaea had endless endeavors to pursue, and his presence might take her away from those. What a compliment.
Aglaea blinked idly, unmoving from her spot. “Let’s say I am.”

Summary
“So…what’s the deal with you and professor Anaxa?” Stelle spoke up, side eyeing her companions who all seemed to be holding their breaths in anticipation. “Do you guys hate each other?”
Aglaea’s sightless eyes slid over to Stelle, her expression unreadable. “Certainly not. There’s simply…a difference of opinions.” Despite her calm words, her hold on her teacup tightened to the point where the delicate porcelain groaned in agony. “I’ve maintained my confidence in him regarding the protection of the coreflame over these years, even despite our…disagreements.”
Phainon exchanged an uneasy look with Stelle, shaking his head helplessly when she turned to him for answers.
“Lady Aglaea…” Castorice started meekly, shutting her mouth when Aglaea turned to look at her. Stelle would have shaken her head in disappointment if Castorice didn’t remind her of a sad, wet chimera.
A muscle ticked in the ever composed weaver’s jaw. After a moment, she let out a rueful sigh. “Fine. If you really must know…” She set her teacup back down onto the table daintily. “Anaxa is my ex fiance.”
Amidst the immediate bout of chaos that ensued after her blunt statement, Aglaea looked ten years older than usual.

Mydei’s eye twitched, fingers curling around the apple protectively, “Surely he doesn’t know what it meant… right?” If he did, Mydei would be pissed that Phainon just ran away after dropping this bomb.
Anaxa let out a chuckle, “If you are referring to Mnestia’s myth of tossing apples to mean a declaration of romantic love, then perhaps not. It wasn’t a required part of the Grove’s curriculum.”
Suddenly, an idea blessed by Cerces herself came to him.
Or,
5 times that Mydei tried to make Phainon blush, and 1 time he actually does

“You certainly love your challenges, don't you?” Cerces meaningfully remarks. “That young maiden of Thanatos presented you with an opportunity so that you wouldn't have to strain your eyes longingly staring at Mnestia's heir from afar, but you rejected it because it wasn't challenging enough for you.”
