    Summary

    “Kaveh,” Alhaitham said again, his voice now raised through the wood. Kaveh could almost picture him standing against the door, hand curled in a fist, knuckles rested against it. The image set something burning in him. He swallowed again.

    “Mmm?” Kaveh managed. In the empty room, echoing against the tiles, his voice bounced back, a strange and breathy mockery.

    “Kaveh,” Alhaitham repeated. The doorknob rattled. “Unlock the door.”

    - - -

    Kaveh has cleared patches of the Withering before without incident, but this one doesn’t seem to be quite right.

    Summary

    Ajax had a soulmate mark, just like about half the population of Teyvat did.
    If Ajax ever found his soulmate, he would pretend to be normal for them. He would observe from afar if possible, and make sure nothing happened to them. That no ailments ever came to them. That they never came to lack anything.
    That was the plan. Or, at least, it had been, until the Tsaritsa requested an audience with him alone and asked to see his mark.

    “Tartaglia,” she began, serious. “That is Morax, the Geo Archon.”

    -------------

    Or, Ajax is Morax' soulmate, the Tsaritsa ships him off to Liyue, and he has to pretend like he doesn't feel like he's not good enough for the Geo Archon.

    Summary

    “I won’t allow you to mark me. I am not seeking to be claimed or mated. This is just…”

    “Casual sex,” Tomo finishes for him, in a rather crude, but entirely Tomo way of describing the situation. “No strings attached, got it. What’s your second rule?”

    “This...arrangement. I don’t want it to affect our friendship. I don’t want us to change.”

    At this, Tomo smiles at him, warm and slightly crooked, familiar in a way that dissolves the last of the hesitation in Kazuha’s heart. “Wouldn’t dream of it, Princess.”

    -

    Kazuha requires a convenient method of dealing with his heats. Tomo is conveniently present. Naturally, they come to an agreement, of sorts.

    Summary

    “My friend,” Dorian said, bumping their shoulders together. “While I disagree, and will encourage you to keep speaking, I think you, of all people in Thedas, have a right to complain.”

    Camris huffed out another laugh. “You might regret those words, Pavus. I can complain a lot.”

    “Do it, then,” Dorian said, his tone gentle. “I rather like talking to you.”
