    Summary

    “Why is my staff calling you my guide?”

    Sung Hyunjae’s smile was as charming as his TV interviews or the pictures the media took of him. Innocent but somehow deceiving. And it only infuriated Yoojin.

    “Haven’t I been a very satisfying guide to you?” Sung Hyunjae asked.

    A guideverse AU where Yoojin is an esper and the most powerful guide in Korea takes an interest in him.

    Physical affection is Han Yoojin's love language, and everyone will accept his touches. But it's not anyone else's, so he doesn't receive them in return. He's fine with that, really.

    Sung Hyunjae decides to make it his love language, too - but really only for Han Yoojin.

    Summary

    After Maomao serves as a medical attendant at the birth of Basen and Lishu's baby, a shift begins to happen inside of her that changes how she feels about herself as a woman, and about Jinshi as a man. Meanwhile, the prince remains far away and blissfully unaware that his cat is in heat and the emperor, due to an error in understanding, believes that Maomao is already pregnant and decides the right thing for him to do is to reveal this information to the head of the La clan so they might quietly find a way to cover for an unplanned pregnancy that doesn't exist.

    Summary

    The trouble with being in love with the Chief Justice of Fontaine is that everyone is in love with the Chief Justice of Fontaine. Wriothesley isn’t special in that regard, and he knows it. Knows he’s just one more idiot with a crush, like half the damn nation. But unlike the vast majority of Fontainians, Wriothesley actually has access to Neuvillette.

    When all of high society tries to court Neuvillette, Wriothesley decides to do something about it.

    Summary

    “What do you do with the flowers?”

    Al-Haitham paused. “What do you mean?”

    “Like, what do you do with the flowers you cough up? Do you keep them or…?”

    He furrowed his eyebrows. “What—why would I keep them? I obviously throw them away. Why are you asking?”

    “I was just wondering—I mean if you’re not using them—like, if I could possibly…have them?”

    Al-Haitham stared at him incredulously. “You want my unrequited love flowers?”

    “Yes?” Kaveh flushed red. “Since…since you’re not using them.”

    Since you’re not using them—

    “What the hell would I be using them for? What the hell are you using them for?”

    Al-Haitham has Hanahaki disease and coughs up mourning flowers. Kaveh asks if he can use them for his ascension materials.

    Summary

    “Prove it.”

    Kaveh paused. Slowly, he turned around. “What?”

    “Prove that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh tilted his head. “And how do you suggest I do that?”

    “Date me,” said Al-Haitham. “Prove to me that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh keeps getting broken up with and is on the verge of giving up on love when Al-Haitham propositions him.

    Summary

    Their faces are very close now. They’re both huffing, winded from the run. When Kaveh exhales, Al-Haitham can smell the mint gum he always liked to chew.

    “I hate you,” Kaveh spits, but he doesn’t move away.

    “I know.” Al-Haitham brings a hand up to his face. He pauses before he wipes away a tear.

    Kaveh’s trembling. “You ruined me."

    Al-Haitham exhales, slow and shuddery. “I know.”

    Kaveh closes his eyes— “I hate that you left me.”

    —and Al-Haitham kisses him.

    After four long years, Al-Haitham finally returns to the idol industry.

    Summary

    The first Guide that is brought forward is a mess. Al-Haitham keeps his head down as the exchange commences, and once she is let go, Kaveh himself stands up and makes his way down off his throne. Then he looks at Al-Haitham and asks him to touch his hand.

    It takes approximately half a second for Al-Haitham to know that he is doomed for life.

    Al-Haitham enters a marriage of convenience with Kaveh, the new king of Sumeru.

    Summary

    “God, this guy is just so annoying,” Kaveh tells Tighnari. “Like, seriously? Why is all of his content about how good he is at making soup? We get it, dude. You can be, like, good at your own thing you know, but you don’t have to publicly announce it to everyone on social media for some likes.”

    “I know exactly what you mean, Kaveh,” Tighnari says.

    “I think it may be more offensive to say that about me while sitting beside me than for me to create the content in the first place,” Al-Haitham says next to him. “But that might just be me.”

    Kaveh eats soup on Instagram. Al-Haitham makes soup on Instagram. Is there anything else you need for a good love story?

    Summary

    Zhongli knew from the start that Neuvillette would hate him. He knew from the moment he'd locked eyes with the Sovereign the day that Lumine introduced them. But Zhongli still longed for the softness of his gaze and his gently spoken words, back when the Sovereign did not know him. He tried to accept the vitriol—he deserved it, after all—but when Lumine's question burned a hole into his mind, he couldn't help but wonder if things could be different between them.
    Perhaps that's what brought him to such a foolish wager.

    Neuvillette had made the choice to join Lumine on her journey, to try a relationship that he wasn't sure about. He had been clear that he would only be civil to Zhongli, nothing more, instead devoting his attention to the Traveler and her playful envoy that stole his heart. But he still recalled the days before he knew who Zhongli was, back when he had not regained his Authority and recognized the Archon's power. He tried to erase those thoughts, to push the man away; it was better for both of them, after all.
    So when Zhongli presented him with the wager, he took it out of hopes that it would remove any notion of a future together from the Archon's mind.

    Such was not the case.

    Summary

    "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.

    Summary

    Wriothesley tried to ask – tried to explain – but no words came. Instead, he was left with a denseness in his chest, a burning that raced from his bowels to his brain as his lungs refused to resume their old refrain. In a panic, he commanded them to expel their current breath, to eject whatever ichor still remained in their recesses. Yet, they remained solid and still, making it apparent that they were not obstructed, but emptied and collapsed in upon themselves.

    He couldn’t do it.

    He couldn’t commit this sin.

    He couldn’t accept this dominance.

    ~~~

    As they prepare to experiment with a blindfold, Wriothesley and Neuvillette find their encounter threatened by a simmering insecurity.

    Summary

    Kaveh twirls, humming to his imaginary melody. His eyes land on Alhaitham, and he lets go of a small laugh, observing him with a glint in his eyes.
    “Do I captivate you that much, Scribe?”
    Now Alhaitham is the prince between the two of them, and Kaveh a half-dressed dancer giving a private performance.
    “I must admit… You are hard to ignore.”

    Summary

    “There you go, being quiet again.” Kaveh laughs. It sounds tragic. When Alhaitham doesn’t respond, Kaveh hums as if in thought. “How about I guess? I feel like after all this time… I should be pretty good at reading your mind.”

    Alhaitham folds his arms over his chest. The only light is the dull green of their visions and the vague, white moonlight hidden behind the clouds. None of it is enough to see Kaveh in detail, but he can sense that Kaveh has turned and is standing close to him.

    “You’re currently thinking this is stupid, and that I’m being ridiculous.”

    “Miraculous. A prognostication worthy of an oracle.”

    “Shut up. I’m more interested in what’s behind that, though. The things you said when I couldn’t hear you. It was about me, wasn’t it?”

    or: alhaitham pines for kaveh, and he's not sure what comes next.
