    Summary

    " Wanderer gets lost in the sensations of the moment; Kazuha's hand on his neck, pulling him closer, the warmth of their bodies pressing together, the wet slide of Kazuha's velvet tongue against his own. When he pulls Wanderer over him and rubs his hips against Wanderer's thigh, the puppet tenses, trembling from the intensity of the moment. He looks into Kazuha's eyes for a few moments before finally breaking away, biting his lip as he sits up.

    Kazuha looked at him knowingly, kindly, yet imploring at the same time. For what seem like an eternity the two remain silent before Kazuha finally draws away and flops back into the bed. Wanderer worries about the expression on his face, but a quick peek tells him that Kazuha isn't disappointed, at least not outwardly, and just smiles up at him. It's more than he deserves."

    ~~~~~

    Or

    Wanderer is, unfortunately, actually a living puppet with no ways to engage in intimacy and he's not having a good time with it. Kazuha is, of course, too in love to care.

    Summary

    A mass grave is discovered at the edge of the desert, and in it 20 corpses with strange circuitry-like marks on their skin, and masks fused to their faces – masks inscribed with a strange, nearly extinct language that can only be read by a dangerous, reclusive Eremite Tribe . . . and, inexplicably, by Alhaitham.

    Perhaps he should be more bothered by the fact that he never actually studied or learned this language than he is, but as Alhaitham heads out to investigate the grave with Cyno, to learn what happened to these people, there are plenty more pressing problems to worry about. Assassins, betrayal, and ancient secrets plague them on their path to uncover a dangerous plot that threatens all of Sumeru, and suddenly it’s all they can do to survive. With allegiances shifting like the desert sands and primordial powers stirring, Cyno suddenly finds himself unsure of who can really be trusted, while Alhaitham . . . Alhaitham finds himself in a fight for his very soul . . .

    Summary

    When Lan Wangji ran away from the jingshi to look for himself, his back still raw, and on Yiling he found only a small child, feverish but still capable of a little bit of babbling, still able to tell the story of what had happened – when he found the traces of blood on the ground, Wei Wuxian’s from when his power had backlashed on him – when he saw the bodies in the blood pool, already rotting –

    For the first time in his life, Lan Wangji didn’t want to go home.

    (what if he had another option?)

    Summary

    Kaveh and Alhaitham had once been something, that was the rumor amongst students and merchants. Now, they bicker in public, angry messages left on boards for all to see, denied Kshahrewar funding from the Acting Grand Sage, and perhaps most painfully, Kaveh hides a secret in the shape of living in the Scribes home.

    Yes, they had been something once. But that was gone now, and Kaveh wonders every day what is he doing looking into a mirror that he had left with cracks in it. In other words, a look into Kaveh and Alhaitham’s life as something that once was, to whatever the future may hold

    “I laid you on my bed. You had blushed so sweetly because I had said you looked handsome in the moonlight” Kaveh’s bed had been by the window. And Alhaitham had. Those teal and red eyes glance away only for a moment to look at Kaveh’s hand as it pets his cheek lightly. His thumb brushes back and forth softly over Alhaitham’s cheekbone.When Alhaitham looks back Kaveh cannot help himself. He remembers, he always does. It never left, that feeling that he had buried so damn deep at the back of his mind. The affection, the warmth, the comfort, the love. The love. They had been in love

    Summary

    The short of it: Kaveh caught a very rare manifestation of the Withering that was not Eleazar after clearing out a remaining pocket of said Withering by himself. Alone. In the woods. Following directions the Traveler scribbled on a tree trunk somewhere, probably. This conclusion will eventually be drawn.

    The long of it: Kaveh went home coughing up flower petals in a stroke of truly poetic misfortune, and if Alhaitham's presence exacerbated his mysterious new problem terribly, well, that was just one more way in which Kaveh would have to endure excruciating pain for fear of losing a man he could not have, did not deserve to have, but was too greedy to let go of.

    Two fools, the impasse, and the disease that punishes the unspoken thing between them. Love is as cruel as you choose to make it for yourself. Fortunately, it takes two to love, in this case. [Hanahaki Disease]
