    Summary


    Over the course of many years, Aventurine has been practicing diligently, convinced that the lingering touches are nothing more than an act, the tender gazes from Veritas are rehearsed, and their close proximity is all part of the performance. Their relationship in other words was meant to be superficial. A bond lacking emotional depth; it was a practical arrangement, a mutual exchange of benefits without further questions asked.

     

    This is what Aventurine is used to, pushing his luck with each stolen moment, a delicious torment that both terrifies and exhilarates him. Yet with every turn, this preordained shallowness feels more and more confusing, the distinction between performance and truth becomes increasingly hazy.

    While the IPC hosts a Gala at headquarters, Aventurine finds that Veritas is sent to look for him.

    Summary

    In thirty minutes, Alhaitham is going to be home, and Kaveh needs to be able to be his most composed self for the inevitable confrontation that will happen the second his roommate is through the door.

    Actually— no, scratch that.

    Why live through the confrontation at all when he could move out right the fuck now? If he starts packing this very second he can at least take a bag for some of his clothes and another for his most important tools. Right? Right.

    Kaveh accidentally ends a phone call with “I love you.” Alhaitham… deals with it.

    Summary

    "I'm not a baby," Langa huffs, like a baby.

    "You're right, I don't think they make babies in your size," he teases, and squirms when Langa sneaks a pinch to his side.

    -

    Langa grows. So does his relationship with Reki.

    Summary

    “So guess what I did next?”

    Ekaterina contemplated not answering, but Harbinger Tartaglia was just… grinning and waiting. It’s honestly rather creepy the longer time passed.

    In the end, she gave a long suffering sigh that seems lost on him, “You bought him the Erhu—“

    “I bought him the antique, cor lapis based Erhu,”

    -

    When she first left her homeland for the unknown nation of Liyue, Ekaterina was ready to be many things: To be a soldier, to fell Tsaritsa’s enemies in her name, to bring glory to Snezhnaya and her leader.

    Being a receptionist in a cozy bank wasn’t so bad in comparison, but she absolutely can do without the front row seat to Harbinger Tartaglia’s (expensive) love life.
