    Summary

    “If you’re going to get married,” Jiang Cheng ground out, “then you’re going to damn well get married at Lotus Pier.”

    Wei Wuxian blinked once. Again. Then: “what?”

    Or: the one with sibling reconciliation, brother-in-laws from hell, and Jiang Cheng trying to sort through his feelings while acknowledging them as little as possible.

    Summary

    It’s a mystery even to himself how he remembers the expression Cyno always made when they battled eight years ago, but chalks it off to the many recordings of the Champion he has seen along the years. Cyno is, technically, a celebrity; it’s impossible not to see his face plastered everywhere whenever Alhaitham is in town.

    In a way, Cyno’s fame was the one reason why he hadn’t forgotten his childhood rival’s face, even though they had still been kids the last time they saw each other.

    Eight years ago, Alhaitham and Cyno had been neighbors and rivals, but that no longer has anything to do with Alhaitham. It was supposed to stay that way, until the Sages decide to return and Alhaitham is called in to assist the Sumeru Champion in investigating the matter.

    Summary

    "You think?"

     

    "I do." Kaveh leans back on his chair, then. "You're like Ove, from the novel. You seem like you'd be gruff and uncaring, but you're one of the most beautiful people I've met, and I've only known you for two days."

     

    Cyno quirks an eyebrow. "I want to take that as a compliment…but an old, gruff man?"

     

    or, kaveh temporarily moves to gandharva ville to get away from work after nearly bursting from stress. a local librarian helps him along the way, albeit unintentionally

    Summary

    “I don’t know any other way of living.”

    She shook her head. “There’s so much more to you than that. I’ve seen it before, Cyno: the kindness and the jokes, the easygoing way you interact with your loved ones. You know exactly what else is there for you, outside of these walls.” Nahida’s eyes were severe in a way Cyno was unused to; it sent shivers down his spine. “But you’re afraid to admit to yourself that you’re so much more than a wielded tool, you’re afraid you’ll lose your purpose otherwise.”

    Summary

    Yes, his heart had been beating so loud, he couldn't discern what Alhaitham had said when he bolted. Yes, his hands were clammy with sweat and trembling due to adrenaline. And yes, he had left Sumeru City before the sun was up with barely a warning.

    He did not freak out.

    Cyno kisses Alhaitham, and it dawns on him far too late.

    Summary

    "They have a hard won mutual respect, and Alhaitham is content to keep it that way. A mutual respect, at a respectable distance, just where he likes the rest of the world.
    And yet, all it takes is sand shifting beneath his feet, and Alhaitham is forced to reevaluate everything. Not that Cyno isn’t a hotheaded little maniac, but that Alhaitham is actually really, truly invested that Cyno gets out of this desert hellhole alive."

    Or: It turns out that near death experiences can lead to a lot of newfound revelations, and Alhaitham is not a fan.

    Summary

    “This is not an invitation to spoil me,” Albedo says through a bite, a hand over his mouth. “As you have with Klee.”

    “I have no idea what you are talking about," Kaeya laughs. “Although… would it really be that bad, if I wanted to take care of you?”

    (Or: When Sucrose mentions that she's been worried about Albedo and his constant cases of zoning out, Kaeya takes it upon himself to investigate the situation.)

    Unlike less respectable knights, Huffman is not one to gossip. Still, it is only professional for him to keep his colleagues up to speed about the interpersonal goings-on of his superiors, given that unspoken relationship dynamics are statistically a top factor for workplace efficiency.

    Swan simply stares at him in awe.

    Summary

    Venturing into the desert after runaway thesis students is, unfortunately, a normal part of Cyno's job. The same can't be said of Alhaitham, feeble scholar extraordinare, and yet he's here anyway. It's an addition Cyno doesn't need, no matter how helpful Alhaitham can be, but though the company's better than expected, the complications only get worse from there.

    Summary


    “Come on, Kaeya.”

    Kaeya… He likes how his name tastes on Albedo’s tongue. Surely it is quite corny and stupid to think that, but he likes it anyway. How the tongue seems to curl up a little in the middle of his name… It is sweet. It is special. It makes him feel special.

    Left to drown in the ocean where the sirens can eat him, Kaeya didn't fight his fate. As a former pirate stuck all his life between two sides, he knows when he has to give up. He didn't expect to be given a second chance at life thanks to the curiosity of some peculiar merman.

    Summary

    Kaeya laughed and whisked himself through the door. He deliberately stood in the hallway, as if debating following Albedo to his lab. Jean huffed and he laughed again, turning his feet with some effort to the exit.

    He just had to keep going. Exist today. And tomorrow. And the day after.

    It was harder now, only because he had no idea what he existed for. He couldn’t exactly gather information to send it nowhere, could he? What was he doing now? Who was he meant to be? What about all the work he’d already done?

    He managed to get to the door before he turned around. The curiosity was killing him, like acid in his veins. He needed to know. He needed to know about this Albedo man.

    /Please, Rhine, I’m begging you. If you do this, I’ll do whatever you and Father want. I’ll go, I’ll fuck and kill and burn my way through that country, I don’t care./

    The words felt like yesterday. They felt like a lifetime ago. The cold of tears on his face made him so cold he had to check and see if they were actually there. His cheeks were dry, but his throat ached.

    Summary

    “An accident doing what?” Albedo scoffed. “You haven’t had a mark on you since you became my guard. Since when do you get an eye taken out?”

    “It only takes one lucky swing, Prince,” Kaeya sighed and stretched his arms wide. “One lucky swing and one idiot knight not paying attention.”

    Albedo frowned. Too many questions still presented themselves. How had the wound been healed so quickly? Kaeya hadn’t been in the hospital. How was it covered so quickly with an eyepatch? Why weren’t there bandages and salves and treatment plans? Why wasn’t he replaced immediately with someone who hadn’t just had their eye sliced open?

    No. He didn’t believe Kaeya for a minute, but when Kaeya didn’t want to reveal a secret, there was no line of questioning that could trick him into it. Albedo had tried often enough.
