Summary
In which Ajax stumbled across a battered stranger left in an alleyway and decides to take him home and patch him up - call it his good deed for the year, if you will.
After an accident leaving him severely injured and unable to return to his mantle of the Geo Archon, Zhongli chose to remain incognito in a mortal vessel - the success of such a decision was debatable though, considering the auburn-haired boy who practically wrangled him back to his apartment.
But the mortal Ajax was quite the enigma; tainted by the Abyss with calloused hands and battle-ready instincts, juxtaposed with a gentle and generous nature. Ajax was a puzzle of a human being, and Celestia knew how Zhongli loved a good puzzle.

"You are very beautiful," Morax says. "Just because I do not remember does not mean I do not think so."
--
[Amnesia AU:] The one formerly known as the Geo Archon wakes up to a world he has yet to see, in bed with a stranger he has yet to meet, and something beyond the obvious is not right. AKA Zhongli loses 2000 years worth of memories, so he is not really Zhongli anymore—he is Morax.

Summary
Kaveh expects some offhandedly smug, smooth remark from Alhaitham about how Kaveh’s his senior but never acts like it, or how it was the most logical outcome given the circumstances and he’s being a child for debating with him about it. But he just mumbles, low and almost petulant, “It is what it is.” He won’t meet Kaveh’s eyes. “You can’t move out.”
Kaveh balks at him before rubbing at his face furiously. “You can’t be serious. You can’t be serious,” he laughs, almost delirious. There’s no way his luck has reached this new low. He knows the ascended heroes on Celestia are guffawing at his misfortune. “Why would you do that when you’ve always wanted me to leave anyway?”
Alhaitham stares at him for a long moment before sighing, slipping into his seat and sliding his plate of Kaveh’s carefully constructed Fatteh towards him primly. “Why indeed,” he drones, sounding exhausted. “Why indeed.”
or: in which there’s a cohabitation clause in sumeru city’s body of legislation; a pair who lives together for longer than six months, files taxes together, and presents as a couple are considered married by law. who knew. (alhaitham, apparently.)

Summary
"If going for the FL gets the villain killed, then I will go for the ML instead!"
A university student on his internship one second, a fantasy novel's villain in the next – Kaveh is left with no choice but to play the antagonist's role. But he doesn't want to die a second time so he attempts to 'remove' Novel Kaveh's death flag by wooing the ML, Alhaitham. Expecting the man to be put off by his act (both the villain shtick and the love-struck one), he gets an even bigger surprise when Alhaitham becomes receptive of his advances (if poking holes at his sloppy acting and accumulated karma from his past sins can be considered taking interest in him, that is).
When these characters are actually much more than just words written on pages of a book, will Kaveh be able to hold on to his role or will he miss the truth hidden between the lines? One thing's for sure though – Alhaitham is the reason why Kaveh went down the villain's path.

Summary
Kaveh knows all too well that Alhaitham is woven into his history, his everyday routine, residing in his space, all five of his senses, but not until now had he allowed Alhaitham to witness him coming undone.
——
Or; Kaveh and Alhaitham enter an arrangement to help relieve one another sexually when it so calls for it.

Summary
Alhaitham puts Kaveh’s theory into question by pulling Kaveh into his lap, making him let out an embarrassing, high pitched yelp at the sudden movement. This Alhaitham is so much bigger than him, and his huge arms easily cage Kaveh’s small frame within his grasp. His legs easily slot around Alhaitham’s thighs. Kaveh is used to being the taller, elegant senior that his little Haitham looks up to, but under Alhaitham’s gaze, he feels like a little bunny staring into the predator’s maw. It doesn’t help that Alhaitham smells heavenly, a shockingly masculine, overbearing scent that makes Kaveh want to rub his thighs together.
“Of course, once the domain’s conditions are fulfilled, the occupants are usually spit right back out.”
Their new position puts Kaveh’s face right up to Alhaitham’s. His Haitham has always had beautiful eyes, green like the eyes in his hair, overlapped with the red of the setting sun, the shine in his eyes always especially when looking at Kaveh. Right now, the red in his eyes is so dark they look almost black, and it makes his eyes look particularly bright, anticipatory, hungry. Alhaitham is looking at Kaveh like he wants to eat him.

Summary
.
An unnatural silence claimed the Ashavan Realm. For three days, no one who went to investigate had returned.
Sent to uncover the truth, Alhaitham is pulled into a collision of corrupted leylines, forgotten gods, and memories etched deep into the bones of the desert itself. What he uncovers is not merely a disaster, but a legacy, one tied to ancient love, divine ambition, and a debt left unpaid across centuries.
History does not forget its architects. And it does not forgive its heirs.

Summary
For the record, Ajax was not at all opposed to being sent on missions as another Harbinger's backup. As long as he was given things to fight and the rest of the tasks were not excruciatingly boring to get through, Tartaglia would comply without issues.
The actual mission, the actual tasks, the actual experience of being the backup was not the issue here.
The issue was-...He was the only Harbinger being tasked with things like these. The only Harbinger being designated as backup. The only Harbinger being treated like a class below the rest.
(Because Tartaglia was rash and reckless and could not be trusted to keep himself safe.
Tartaglia was to be looked after like an unpredictable rabid animal that only behaved under certain conditions.Tartaglia was off.)
---
Or, Childe struggles to understand why the Tsaritsa insists on treating him differently from the other Harbingers, and tries to pretend like his affiliations aren't irrevocably shifting towards the mysterious god he meets in Liyue.

Summary
A river of russet and black spills onto his lap—it’s soft, exquisitely so. Despite being a cursed gift from Winter, the pelt is warm beneath his hands, and in a moment of weakness, Zhongli holds the thing to his cheek, delighting in the feel of it.
Common sense is cold, and he lowers the fox’s pelt. This…is not a companion. Not even close! Still, to spurn a gift from an Archon is to be a fool, so when he goes to sleep that night, as a human would, he tucks the pelt into its golden box and places it into his closet.
In a Liyue where Zhongli retires alone, he is lonely and adrift. Even the strange gift the Cryo Archon sends him is not quite enough to alleviate his boredom, until a knock at his front door changes everything.

Summary
Yaoyao rustles in her pocket for a moment. “Alright, well I’ll give Zhongli the blindfold, and then the ‘rebels’’ countdown to hide will start. The countdown will show on your wristbands, and so will the game time afterwards.” She pulls out a simple black blindfold, extending the fabric to Zhongli. “Ready?”
“I am,” Zhongli says, but looks to the others for confirmation.
“Oh! Yeah, I guess?” Yoimiya says, exchanging glances with Childe and the Traveler.
The Traveler shrugs. “Sure.”
“Yeah, I’m ready,” Childe says, watching Zhongli fasten the blindfold around his eyes. Somehow, the black fabric doesn’t make him look foolish, or any less imposing than before. It makes something in Childe’s gut burn, and he impulsively blurts– “Make sure you don’t go easy on us, Zhongli.”
Zhongli’s head swings toward Childe, and even through the blindfold Childe swears he can feel the weight of that golden gaze. Zhongli’s lips curve upwards. “I shall certainly endeavor not to disappoint.”
_____
While on a reconnaissance mission in Mondstadt, Childe gets roped into a game of Snowtrace. He isn't expecting to see Zhongli.
To the victor go the spoils.

Summary
“Shit- ow, ow,” Kaveh whined pathetically as he attempted to raise his arms above his head in a simple stretch, one that only seemed to bring him more misery.
“Would you like help?” Alhaitham asked as he flipped the page. He was careful to keep his tone disinterested, lest Kaveh grow suspicious of his intentions.
“When are you ever helpful?” Kaveh grumbled in response, splaying his hands cautiously over his lower back with a hiss.
It wasn’t an agreement, but it also wasn’t a denial – just one of the many contradictions that made up Kaveh. Alhaitham closed the book whose title he'd already forgotten and set it on the coffee table as he pushed himself up to stand, satisfied enough with Kaveh's non-answer.
“I’ve been known to commit an altruistic act every now and then,” Alhaitham hummed.
Kaveh has been in pain recently, and Alhaitham has a solution in mind. His plan works as intended – Kaveh starts to trade his bad habits for healthier ones, but that’s not all that changes. Kaveh is acting friendlier, or perhaps something more than friendly. Alhaitham is skilled at weathering Kaveh’s contempt – he’s not sure he can survive Kaveh’s affection.

Summary
Overwhelmed by the sensation of Alhaitham’s breath against his skin, heart beating erratically, Kaveh grunted softly and tried to step over the fallen bucket - but the movement only pushed them closer, tangling their legs and trapping Alhaitham’s thigh firmly between his own.
“You’re not going to make it any bigger by squirming,” Alhaitham hissed, hand clamping down on Kaveh’s waist and holding him in place with a grip that had turned to steel.
Kaveh sucked in a sharp breath at the sudden pressure, his body reacting before his brain could catch up and sending a jolt of heat flaring beneath his skin. “I - gods, would you just -”
“Shh,” Alhaitham interrupted harshly.
“No, you shh,” Kaveh shot back in a whisper, bapping Alhaitham petulantly on the arm. “I think I can move my leg, just -”
Alhaitham exhaled a quick, frustrated huff and twisted his torso just enough to be able to slide one palm up from Kaveh’s side, tracing a distractingly firm line along his body before landing squarely over his mouth. “Shut up,” Alhaitham whispered directly into his ear, lips brushing just close enough to make the words feel like a threat.

In the relentless whirl of deadlines and life turmoil, Kaveh finds himself sleepless and on the brink of crashing out. The project he’d been working on for hours is completely derailed from what the professor asked them to do, but that’s just one of the many things that he has to worry about. To sate his crisis, Kaveh turns to alcohol for comfort. One drink too many later, and Kaveh finds himself in the apartment of a hot stranger.
Or where Kaveh gets absolutely drunk and wakes up in Ahaitham’s bed.

Kaveh.
Kaveh leans closer to Sage Naphis. Reaches out, pressing his forehead against the sage’s bare hand. Paying his respects to an old teacher, head bowed, dupattā falling forward for the breath of a moment and cloaking him from Alhaitham's desperate gaze.
Five years ago, Kaveh disappeared from the Akademiya.
Now, Alhaitham watches his old friend ascend back up the dais, ghaghra rippling around pearl strung ankles, and seat himself on the lap of the king.
or
kaveh left him once.
in the flickering firelight, kaveh's lashes are steeped to a burnished gold. his eyes are dark, his breaths shallow, as alhaitham murmurs of love and pleasure in tongues long lost.

Summary
“Funny.” Alhaitham's voice got lower. “I seem to be handling you just fine so far.” His smirk was still there, but his eyes held a gleam Kaveh had never seen before.
“That is because we are just friends, Haitham.” Two could play that game. Kaveh was tired of being the blushing maiden everytime. “As a lover, I am much more demanding.”
That didn't get the reaction he was waiting for. Instead of retreating, his so-called friend's eyes widened, a shine of challenge in them. Were they getting closer?
“That seems like a hassle.” There was no bite to the words, but somehow, they still seemed scalding.
It was Kaveh's turn to smirk. “I haven't gotten any complaints.”
-
Desperate for work after the fiasco with the Palace of Alcazarzaray, Kaveh accepts a secretive offer that ends up going very wrong. With his career in shambles and his friendship with Alhaitham hanging by a thread, he finds himself with no other choice but to adopt the newborn whose life he'd ruined.
Reluctant of this new member in their lives, Alhaitham suffers to manage putting up with two whiny people inside his house, while trying to hide how deeply in love he is with his senior.
