Summary
Yuuri slowly dropped his shaking hand from his mouth, and it drifted down to rest against his belly. He was eerily still as he stared off into space, and the scared, confused look in his eyes made Viktor's chest feel like it had a thousand pounds on top of it.
When Yuuri finally spoke in a terrified, quivering whisper, it made tears well up in Viktor's eyes."What am I going to do?"
-
When Yuuri's life is unintentionally turned upside down, he and Viktor are thrown onto a path in their relationship that neither of them could have foreseen. The future is a vast, uncertain cavern before them, and if they're going to get through it, they're going to have to lean on each other, to trust each other more than they ever have before...
...and it isn't always going to be easy.

Summary
"Well, if it makes you feel better, I think Cyno is just trying to be respectful. He knows how independent you are, so he probably doesn't want you to feel babied." Kaveh shrugged. "Just...maybe start letting him do some little things for you here and there? I think it would really make him happy."
Tighnari straightened his shoulders with a determined sigh. “I'll try my best.”
❀
Tighnari struggles to accept help. Cyno loves him anyway.

Summary
"These last few weeks are going to fly by before you know it." Kaveh patted Tighnari's belly. "You'll look back on this day with these two sweethearts cuddled in your arms and say, 'huh, Kaveh was right, as he ever is. Maybe I should make better use of my oversized ears and listen to him more often.'"
"Easy for you to say." Tighnari watched Collei draw a card from her deck, his eyebrows pulling low. "It'll be the blink of an eye for everyone but me. You know, the one who actually has to endure it all."
Kaveh hummed, a high-low sound. "You're awfully moody, sunshine. Is something else bothering you?"
Yes, everything, Tighnari wanted to seethe.
❀
In which waiting is never easy, but the sweetness of family can make it tolerable.

Summary
"Just a shame you can't keep her," Cyno said.
Kaveh pasted on an anemic smile, refusing to let it quiver at the corners. "Yeah."
Cyno gave Kaveh a knowing look that held tinges of pity. Kaveh waved it off with a pleading grimace, and the subject was dropped.
˖᯽ ݁˖
Kaveh finds a kitten, and perhaps a piece of his heart.

Summary
"Why don't you start at the top?" Roberto said, not unkindly.
Vash's shoulders squared, his cheeks mottling beet red. He buried his face in his hands, his posture tight and uncomfortable. A pained little croak leaked out of him.
Meryl's heart ached with every hard thump against her ribs, like it was embedded with glass. All this time, all this pain he was in...
She looked at the GPS. Fifty iles to the next settlement.
Hang on, Vash.
⁌
Vash's inhuman biology creates a harrowing situation. Meryl and Wolfwood pick up the pieces.

Summary
Red-faced and in tears and pissed off, mostly at himself, Tighnari stalked out of the room.
Halting footsteps followed him.
"I need to be alone," he choked out over his shoulder without looking at Cyno. "Please."
Cyno let him go.
❀
Sometimes, fences need to be torn down. Even if it's painful.

Summary
Someone escorted Alhaitham none too gently from the room. Probably one of the several other doctors that had just burst through the door.
He caught one final glimpse of Kaveh over his shoulder between the frantic flurry of activity, and his scent glands felt like they'd been stabbed clean through with a dagger.
They were giving Kaveh chest compressions.
˖᯽ ݁˖
Alhaitham and Kaveh welcome their first child into the world earlier than they'd anticipated. Unforeseen complications arise.

Summary
Tighnari's veins flooded with adrenaline, standing the fine hair on his arms straight up. Nausea burned sour in the pit of his stomach, heightened by his pounding heartbeat.
The concerned looks from passersby barely even registered in his shell-shocked brain.
Archons, please, don't do this. Not now. They were so healthy.
He forced his shaking legs to hurry, half hunched and half limping.
❀
The shadow of the past is never far behind.

Summary
"Hey." Tighnari turned slightly more onto his back so he could look up at Cyno's face.
"Hey," Cyno echoed, his eyes warm.
"A few days ago, I felt kicks for the first time."
It was like watching a sunrise. The hazy dawn of realization, then the brilliant, shining rays of joy, broken up by clouds of emotion.
❀
In which a relaxing, intimate bath is shared.

Summary
Cyno never treated Tighnari with anything other than tenderness and consideration, completely at odds with Collei's preconceived notions of him, and it was just...bewildering.
And even still, Collei just couldn't bring herself to trust him fully. Trusting got you separated from your parents. Trusting got you tortured and experimented on. Trusting could put you in the ground.
Therefore, she remained wary and distant, avoiding eye contact with Cyno most of the time and certainly never getting close enough for him to touch her.
She would never let him touch her again.
❦
Collei, through the years.

Summary
Tighnari's world tilted on its axis, and his heart slowly picked up speed. Familiar and unwelcome tightness crept up his throat.
Oh.
Aether coughed. "Could that...be true?"
Tighnari recalled how tired he'd been getting at the end of the day lately. Those seemingly random waves of heightened emotion. His periodic, unprovoked nausea.
The snugness of his waistband he'd been noticing for a few days.
"...it could," he whispered, swallowing hard.
By the Archons.
❀
In which Tighnari and Cyno receive...more than one surprise.

Summary
He shakily lifted his injured hand, and Cyno held it in his own like it was made of blown glass, so fragile it could be destroyed with a simple squeeze.
"Cyno," Tighnari breathed. The words he had to say festered in his stomach, sickening him. He drew in a shuddering breath through his nose, ears fully pinned back in distress. "How much did Shirin tell you?"
❀
In which Tighnari's injury at Pardis Dhyai did more than just sear Lichtenberg figures into his skin.

Summary
Sucrose's thumb turned Albedo's wedding ring back and forth on his finger. "There is...something else we could try. To see if it induces labor."
Albedo's eyebrows raised. "Oh? Something you learned from Barbara?"
Sucrose's neck heated against his cheek. "N-not exactly. Someone else told me about this one."
⟡
Albedo and Sucrose try in vain to evict their little wisp, and have an intimate heart to heart along the way.

His gaze darted to Jean. Her brow was wrinkled, her lips pursed in a grim frown.
She gestured to the last chair next to Sucrose.
"Sit down, Albedo."
⟡
No matter how carefully concealed the truth is, it will always end up rising to the surface like oil on water.

Summary
Ice crept up Albedo's windpipe, temporarily freezing his tongue. Instantly, he set the crystal sample in his hands back on the shelf and followed Kaeya's swift gait up the stairs of lower Mondstadt.
Sucrose hadn't had a panic attack from vomiting in years...not since...since...
Albedo's throat felt sticky with dust as he swallowed.
⟡
Albedo and Sucrose weather a storm together, past and present.

Summary
Sucrose didn't take offense, really. Lisa was only teasing. In Lisa's eyes—in everyone's eyes—she and Albedo had...well, made a baby. A baby that Albedo had put in Sucrose. It was only natural for people to assume they had...
...erm.
But, well, they had never.
⟡
Albedo and Sucrose finally stop dancing around each other, in more ways than one.

Summary
A wise man once said, "the love of knowledge is a kind of madness."
Albedo was heavily inclined to agree.
He was playing with fire. He knew he was. But, in his one-track mind, intrigue always outweighed the threat of consequence.
For what are mistakes, if not gateways to understanding?
⟡
Human transmutation is reckless and foolish. Albedo does it anyway.

Summary
“You can run and hide from the truth.
You can deny and avoid the truth.
But you cannot destroy the truth, nor can you make the lie true.
You must know that love will always uncover the truth.”
He knows this far too well, but...
Just for a little longer, he'll pretend that he doesn't.
