    Summary

    “Ah, yes, that she did. My name is Kyryll Chudomirovich Flins. You can refer to me as Kyryll, as all teachers are referred to by their first name here.”

    Voice steady and a light smile on his lips - a good save, a well-crafted response. He can do it.

    It’s all about believing in yourself after all.

    “Klee talks about you, specifically, a lot, Kyryll, you’re her favorite,” the man says with a smile and a wink, which is clearly meant in a bro way, and Kyryll wants the ground to swallow him.

    Why does he have a talent for finding hetero men attractive? Kyryll had one job.

    Kyryll is a kindergarten teacher in his forties, living life comfortably until he's face-to-face with the force that is Varka, a man made out of his dreams. Even worse, he might be Alice's husband?! A misunderstanding is bout to happen, sending them into a new life together that is nothing short of chaotic and undeniably them. And Alice? She finds it all very amusing, much to Kyryll's dismay.

    Summary

    Varka's military contract requires him to be temporarily stationed in Nod-Krai, since those lands are an object of constant conflicts between Mondstadt and Shneznaya.

    As a high rank officer, he is allowed to live outside of the barracks and finds himself a nice apartment in a quiet neighborhood. He quickly makes friends with everyone but this one neighbor who is rarely seen leaving his lot - a mysterious middle-aged man with a noble aura to him. What secret is this person hiding and why does he avoid any human interaction? Obviously, the ever nosy Varka can't help wanting to learn more about him and will use any opportunity to do so. Even more so, once he learns the neighbor in question is totally his type.

    Summary

    “Right. So, uh, how much are you asking for this thing? This book of yours.”

    Dori leans back in, her grin widening to reveal sharp teeth. “Oh, I thought you’d never ask, Grandmaster!” she purrs, each word as sweet as honey taken straight from the comb. “Why, it’s only fifty thousand mora.”

    Varka doesn’t quite choke on his own saliva, but it’s a close thing. “Fifty what now?”

    “Oh, don’t be like that,” Dori scolds with a shake of her head. “Anyone else would be asking for much more – it’s not every day you stumble upon a book this old and this useful too! A guide to courting for, ah, individuals specific to Nod-Krai and Snezhnaya? It’s practically a trove of information, Sir Varka! Really now, it’s only because you’re my most loyal, most esteemed, most valuable customer that I can afford naming such a low price.”

    Or: Varka gets swindled into buying a Fae courting guide, written by a human for other humans. He's also forced to come to terms with his own feelings regarding a certain Lightkeeper (who might or might not be Fae). Shenanigans ensue as he attempts to follow this dubious yet somehow effective guide to the very end.
