Summary
Courting 101. Tch. Just what does Al-Haitham think he's playing at?
Kaveh storms into the room and sets the book on his desk with a large thud.
"Stop this ruse and tell me just what you intend to get out of this," Kaveh says, breathing furiously.
Al-Haitham studies him for a moment, visibly ruminating over a matter, and then something changes in his expression.
"Okay," he says, and then he pulls Kaveh over the desk by the lapels and kisses him fully on the mouth.
Al-Haitham is courting Kaveh. He is very smug about it.

Summary
“Enough of the poetry,” Scaramouche snaps hastily, mostly to spare himself from more of this perpetual torment. “Find something better to do with your mouth.”
Kazuha pauses at that, surprise ghosting over his face as he tilts his head, and Scaramouche savors in his temporary victory, in the triumph of having caught the other off guard at last. Until--
“Is that an offer, Lord Harbinger?”
Oh.
-
Or, Kazuha and Scaramouche are sleeping together. And Scaramouche absolutely, definitely, does not fall in love.

Summary
It’s been two months since the storm, and Childe hasn’t seen Zhongli not even once, not since that fateful meeting with the Signora where the truth is finally unveiled.
And what a fun little kick to the gut that is, the realization that not only had he been played by all sides, but he's also being tossed aside like trash now that his use had run its course.
It’s not that Childe doesn’t get it. He’s a Harbinger. He knows first-hand what it means to do his duty, to put the mission first and his personal feelings far, far away, preferably locked up in a box, where it wouldn’t interfere with his job. He knows what it’s like working with vipers, to scheme and plot and lie in wait for the opportune moment to stab his opponent in the back.
But this time, this time Childe can’t help but feel a little (a lot) gutted.
Stupid. He’s gotten himself stupidly attached.
--
A story about Childe trying to move on after the events of 1.1 Update, but some of his actions have consequences, and those consequences have followed him back to Snezhnaya.NOTE: THIS FIC WAS DRAFTED BEFORE 1.1 UPDATE CAME OUT. MIND THE CANON-DIVERGENT TAG FOR THIS REASON.

just gonna put my comment on this fic here in the bookmark so y'all can understand just how i felt from this <3:
ah, the way this story made me feel... it honestly took me quite a while to write this comment bc i had to gather my thoughts to make this brief and concise /without actually just screaming incoherently/ lol, i am just absolutely in awe. this is BEAUTIFUL. i've been reading tartali fics for quite some time now and this probably is the most interesting one i read, especially since it follows the happenings after the 'a new star approaches' archon quest, and i am honestly so glad that i stumbled upon this. <3
reread: 251115
“You make a pinkie promise, you keep it all your life. You break a pinkie promise, I throw you on the ice. The cold will kill the pinkie that once betrayed your friend, the frost will freeze your tongue off so you never lie again.”Ajax knows Zhongli’s not going to choose him. Because to choose him means Zhongli would also have to choose Childe and Tartaglia as well, and nobody’s ever done that. Nobody’s ever embraced Ajax, all of Ajax, including his ugly, jagged facets.
You have broken my heart, one that I did not even know I had given to you.
“What is a boy like me supposed to think?”
“Well, what kind of boy are you?”
“Do you know what I think, Ajax?”
“I think, the kind of boy you are is the one who shares my feelings.”
and i proceed to scream“Pearls and silks, baobei,” felt that line in my soul bruh

this was so so so utterly beautiful. you can see just how much venti has changed xiao's life and helped him see the light in all the darkness he was surrounded in. it's so hard to form the exact words about what i have truly felt from this but...... i'm just left mesmerized and in awe bc of this story. i truly felt like this could actually have happened between them, you know? my favorite thing about this has to be the way they exchanged flowers, it was a simple thing, but it just left such a huge impact to me (and definitely to the both of them as well) bc it just spoke so much of what they feel for each other. this was so sweet and well-written. definitely one of my favs now <333
reread: 251107 “It was all he could hear. Sweet, warm, as loving as the embrace of a mother. A melody that, just by listening to it, could make you feel as if you’re soaring in the highest skies. Once again he could feel it. The wind caressing his cheeks, hair flowing around with each strand being carded caringly by the breeze. He felt— Free.” :,)

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.

Bookmarker's Notes
this was so well-written! very intimate and emotional.
reread: 251104 i don’t know why i didn’t elaborate more about this when i first read this fic because now that i reread it, it truly deserves a long review (and more than one kudos!) this was so amazing and the pining, the yearning, the push-and-pull, and everything were just truly impressive. i could feel my heart squeezing from all the emotions they’re feeling from the situation they were in like this was just too good! the line “I knew you’d come for me.” !!!! i should’ve come back here earlier and read it at least once a year ugh this is everything to me, it’s now going straight to my favorites ! ily and imy tomokazu, i hope i can come back to this again soon :,)
