Look at me, Neuvillette’s eyes plead over the fluke of his glass, a silent begging that thrums with a desperation he has only ever held for Wriothesley.Neuvillette, after the return of his authority severs the shackles of his isolation, is looking for a mate. Wriothesley is a considerable candidate. He makes sure to vet him thoroughly.

Summary
It felt right to be with Alhaitham, this resolute stranger, even if it was just to linger next to him, sun overhead, voices of patrons nearby overlapping. He would do this. But where was this hesitance springing from?
Asking someone on a date, well, he must have done this before, surely, even if it surfaced as a blank. Even if he hadn’t, there was a first time for everything. The hesitance curdled, a harrowing sensation, akin to erosion in the gut of his being. Just what was this?
He couldn’t recall, but no longer could he stall, with time pressing and Alhaitham’s presence threatening to separate from his side, where he was the only receiver of that pressing, omniscient gaze.
“Listen,” he began. Alhaitham’s expression failed to change, and neither did Alhaitham move. Only by speaking it could Alhaitham’s mind be known. “I hope I’m not being too forward- that is, I hope I’m interpreting things correctly, but I’d like to do this again, if you’re also interested.”
(An amnesiac Kaveh professes his interest in handsome stranger Alhaitham. Once recovered, Kaveh is compelled by his and Alhaitham’s mutual honesty to reveal his true feelings despite his own self-doubts.)

Summary
That sickness. It churned relentlessly in his gut. He flicked, flicked, flicked through the cameras, metal fingertip tapping against the monitor to capture you at every angle. He couldn't bring himself to admit how many times he had zoomed in and brought his hand to the screen in a pathetic gesture just to imagine he could feel the warmth of your cheek against his palm. His reason for life, granted to him by you, stunted and stalled by...well. By his death.
He's back, now. He'd endured countless horrors and torn open the gates of hell to claw his way back to you. At last, he could return to his purpose. To kneel at your feet and present his neck to your boot. Nod his head yes and bow to your every order. Be right where he belongs. But...
In his absence, you've started taking care of yourself. Poorly. Very poorly. And you're so fucking stubborn, refuting his help. It makes his jaw hurt with how hard he clenches his teeth.
This night, though, this blessed, perfect night, you finally let him back in. You finally let him further. It's more than anything he could have ever dreamed. He should know better by now, but you make him so hopeless he can’t help himself. He knows good things for him never last.

Summary
You rolled your eyes. “You’re being dramatic.”
“Am I?” he mused, his voice lilting, coaxing—so effortlessly familiar. “You wound me, Miss Bodyguard. Here I was, trying to paint a masterpiece, thinking of you after an agonizing week apart, only to check my notifications and find you, in the dead of night no less, liking another man’s post. Truly, a betrayal of the highest order.”
“Thomas is your agent.”
“Doesn’t change the facts.”
You sighed again, but this time, it was laced with amusement. “You know what? I’m coming over.”
There was a beat of silence. Then, sharper now— “What?”
(Or... at 3:30 AM, Rafayel calls about you liking Thomas’ post. You know him far too well to believe that’s all it is. So you go to him, finding him amidst half-finished paintings and restless emotions, teetering between wanting space and needing you too much.)

Summary
In times of college-related stress and frustrations, you think it's a little odd when you overhear how some people find resonance in sounds. No music, just any random sounds whipped out by random strangers on the internet. It almost sounds funny.
Until it's not so funny anymore.
OR
Under the stress that is college, your desperate search for stress-relief aid takes a surprising turn when you stumble upon Starrysound's ASMR channel. Except, this is no ordinairy ASMR, and this is definitely no ordinairy ASMR creator.

Summary
At 9:48 pm system time, a classified weapon was detonated beneath Pier Point. Among the missing employees are a team leader of the Marketing Development Department… and a senior manager of the Strategic Investment Department.
As the brightest mind of the Intelligentsia Guild, Ratio is asked to assist with the investigation. It’s a high-stakes case and the departments are competing to present their version of events to the Board of Directors. Buried beneath the political feud, the growing body count, and the scars of an intricate scheme, Ratio must find the truth.
But can he do that, when the person who was closest to the blast, the person who is now missing, and might be missing forever… was also the one and only person he could rely on in his weakest moments?
Without Aventurine… can he even stay sane…?

Summary
Pt. 2 of The Unveiling of a Dying Star
Ratio stopped in the hallway, far down it, as if tucking himself away from the people who bled out from the ballroom. His back faced Aventurine, dimly lit by the lights, and Aventurine briefly had to wonder if this was a nightmare. If he approached Ratio now, would he attack him? Try to hurt him like he had in previous dreams? Or would he do it on his own volition?
The doctor dipped his head back, sipping directly from a bottle of something, and when he turned, shooting Aventurine a glance, the gambler realized a couple of things:
Ratio was drinking his favorite drink. His hair had gotten longer. There were bags under his eyes and hair fallen over his face that he made no effort to fix.
Aventurine stepped closer to him, appropriate.. Conversation length, and instead of smelling of human being – attractive, masculine, yet equally domestic smelling of cashmere and cotton.. He smelt of booze.
Holy fuck, said his worry-brain. I broke the guy.Series

Qijiu are too busy smashing for Shen Qingqiu to waste his time abusing apprentices, so Luo Binghe has signed on a disciple of Bai Zhan peak.
Sure would be terrible if Luo Binghe's crush on his peerlessly beautiful shizun Liu Qingge was immortalized in a series of novels.

"He'll tell you that your hair falling in your face as you drafted projects over the table made him want to brush some behind your ear, just to have an excuse touch you. He's romantic, but it's all fantasy."
"It could be real," Kaveh retorts without thinking.
"Could it?" Alhaitham grunts a skeptical noise that makes Kaveh's stomach swoop alongside its cadence. "But it's not what you want, is it."
...
Kaveh may or may not have a thing for voices. Alhaitham may or may not set the bar.

❝ In return for a waived overdue book fee, an eventual all-expenses-paid vacation, a date that doesn't fall apart at the seams, and so-called bragging rights, you agree to fake a life for the summer as Al-Haitham's fiancée just to help the professor-slash-librarian prove to an old friend of his that his life isn't all that bad. It's clear to you that Al-Haitham cares more than anything about restoring his brittle friendship with Kaveh, so if you can be of help in return for some stability in your disastrous love life, even if it is all for show, you don't see the harm. After all, who could ever truly fall in love with the impossibly academic and stiff Al-Haitham? ❞

Summary
“Kaveh cannot know about this.” Alhaitham felt the words leap out of his throat like bullets from the barrel of a gun, “There is too much risk to tell him something so severe outright. The chance it would jeopardize what remains of our friendship is too substantial of a gamble."
Cyno hummed as if to himself, ordering another drink from the same waitress that'd swung by a little while ago and sipping at the final dregs of amber pooling at the bottom of his near barren glass. He stared Alhaitham dead across the table, and it wouldn’t have taken even the slightest shred of intelligence from any of the three admittable geniuses present to pick out the bright twinkle of glee at his teeth and the silvery snark of his tone that came with it.
"Well, if it's abruptness you're worried about, you could always try courting him."

Summary
After overhearing a fascinating story about an obscure temple tucked into some corner of Liyue Harbor, Childe had only meant to have a little fun at Zhongli's expense; he'd earned at least that much after the Osial Incident. Unfortunately for Childe, his track record at outmaneuvering Zhongli isn't exactly stellar.
There's a not-quite hysterical cadence to Childe's quiet words as he leans in closer, sweeping a hand wide to encompass shelves heavy with hundreds upon hundreds of icons and figurines depicting Rex Lapis in various forms both draconic and human, lovingly crafted and singularly, proudly well-endowed. "This is your dick temple," he whispers, for emphasis. "Just — here, in the middle of Liyue Harbor?"
"Worship comes in many forms, as a servant of the Cryo Archon is surely well aware," Zhongli says serenely, eyes narrowing in suspicion when Childe makes a small strangled sound to avoid pointing out the unfortunate innuendo. "What god would turn away a sincere offering?"
"The Tsaritsa doesn't have a dick temple," Childe mutters.
