Summary
“Don’t do that again,” Illuga whispered, his voice soft and silky amidst the golden glow of the flames, warmed up by them, sluggish and tinted with the sweet embrace of sleep. “Just, ask for help, next time.” And even quieter, uttered so achingly soft; please.

Summary
Alarm overtook Kaveh’s expression as he looked back and forth between Alhaitham and the matra, dropping his sketchpad and leaping to his feet. “Why is there a guard here? Did you get hurt?”
“Some idiot decided poisoning me to obtain state secrets would be an optimal use of a Tuesday morning,” Alhaitham replied with a deep sigh.
Kaveh’s hands hovered uselessly in the air for a few moments as he stared at Alhaitham. “I’m sorry, what?”
Leaning back against the wall, Alhaitham let out a weary exhale. “Truth serum,” he said tiredly, raking his fingers through his hair then dropping his hand down to rub his throat. “I can’t lie.”
Kaveh’s eyes widened. “Oh my gods. Are you - are you okay?” Hurrying forward, Kaveh - with his blessedly fully covered legs - guided Alhaitham onto the divan, hands steady despite the panic in his voice.
“I don’t know. I’m just glad you’re wearing pants,” was all Alhaitham managed to answer.

Summary
They say the opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference, the slow erosion that dulls what once burned bright.
Dan Heng has been waiting so long that seasons have worn themselves into monotony, days blurring until he fears forgetting the voice he’s searching for. Between deserted streets and the silent gate, he clings to memory with a desperation sharper than any blade.And then, one day, Caelus returns.

Summary
In a world where alphas' violent tenancies have led to them being sequestered away from civilised society, Childe keeps his true status a secret, concealed from the rest of the world with the help of Dottore's experimental pills.
However, a delayed shipment threatens to expose his secret, and with less than a week to go before Childe faces losing himself to his instincts, he turns to the one man in Liyue who can hope to help him should the worst occur. During his subsequent stay with Zhongli, Childe is forced to reflect upon his past and his present, as well as the long-suppressed part of him that he must at last confront.

Summary
Childe takes a deep breath, a steadying breath, and his chest catches. No wonder the secrets hurt so much. No wonder the betrayal cuts so deep. He knows exactly what this is. What he’s feeling. He should’ve expected this. After all those dinners, those shared evenings, the stories told, he should’ve expected this.
Rubbing idly at his chest, he deflates, some of the anger sputtering out into dying embers. Most of it, really. It’s hard to stay angry when you know the truth: that you only feel so hurt and betrayed because you love so deeply.
Love. What a joke.
After the final battle with Osial, Childe and Zhongli find themselves separately facing a similar affliction of the heart.
