    Summary

    “You’re upset,” Cyno realizes, almost sounding amazed. It’s quite astute of his Mahamatra, maybe the man can tell Kaveh, and Tighnari, and the rest of Sumeru about it. “What did I– wait, where are you going?”

    “To work, obviously,” Alhaitham drawls, without looking back. “Go enjoy your plans.”

    --

    Alhaitham struggles with work-life balance in his new role.

    Summary

    “One scholar’s complaint should not doom an ancient ruin,” Candace says frantically. “The domain is a priceless remnant from King Deshret’s kingdom. It’s a cultural artifact that belongs to the Sands!”

    “This domain sits far from any authority that can keep the area safe,” Cyno says.

    “It’s far from Sumeru City’s authority, you mean,” Candace retorts.

    “It’s far from the Matra’s offices,” Cyno corrects. “It’s the Matra that keeps scholars safe. And it is the Matra that rescues anyone trapped in domains.”

    -–

    Kaveh goes missing on an expedition to the desert, leading to a tense reunion amongst the desert gang. It’s a headache fueled by conflicting motivations. Aside from finding the missing party, Cyno wants order, Candace wants them gone, Dehya wants everyone to get along–

    And Alhaitham just wants Cyno to himself.

    Summary

    Being with Touya felt like breathing. In the face of so much cruelty, it was only natural to love each other— hearts beating frail and sickly in parallel addictions.

    Summary

    “Have you heard the rumours?” A woman in a perfectly tailored emerald dress said, holding her lace fan up to her mercury-laden, painted face.
    “What rumours?” Another lady asked.
    She had what looked like a giant peacock feather pocking out of a headpiece she called a hat.  You could only assume she’d had it specially made for the occasion of looking busy doing absolutely nothing.
    “Rumour has it the duke is in love."

    You are an opera singer who doesn't like the spotlight and Wriothesley is being a bit too careless with his visits.

    Summary

    “Sooo…” Tribbie begins, soundly smacking her lips.

    “What a situation,” Aglaea laments.

    “I wonder who will help him,” is Trinnon’s two cents.

    “Now’s your cue, De,” Trianne whispers at him from in between her tiny hands, like it wasn't damn obvious his fate was sealed the moment they all looked at him.

    “Splendid idea. Leave it to the homicidal maniac to be his caretaker; what could possibly go wrong?”

    Alternatively: A cursed Phainon can't speak, see or hear. Mydei is tasked with taking care of him until everything's sorted out.
