    Summary

    Xiao looked up at the sign and crossed his arms, eyebrows furrowing. "A tattoo parlor?" he questioned skeptically. He knew that Venti had a few tattoos, which were sometimes visible depending on what he was wearing. Xiao, however, had never been interested in getting one.

    "Just hear me out," Venti began before Xiao could object further.

    Summary

    Lohen has one goal in life: to see how many shades of pink Mika can turn before he runs out of names for them.

    Rose. Peony. Cherry blossom. Crimson.

    Every stolen notebook, every whispered tease, every time he stands too close—the color deepens. It's Lohen's favorite game.

    Until Mika starts giving it right back.

    Or: Lohen came for the blush and stayed for the boy behind it.

    Summary

    Lohen has never been interested in anything but the next fight—until a shy cartographer with shaking hands and a talent for maps sits beside him on a training ground bench and asks if the seat is taken, something shifts.

    Through training yards and frozen wastes, shared tents and stolen moments, their friendship deepens into something neither expected.

    Lohen has spent his life holding everyone at arm's length. Mika might be the only one worth reaching for.

    Or: the one where the sharp, sarcastic knight falls first—and harder than anyone ever expected.

    Summary

    “You’re upset,” Cyno realizes, almost sounding amazed. It’s quite astute of his Mahamatra, maybe the man can tell Kaveh, and Tighnari, and the rest of Sumeru about it. “What did I– wait, where are you going?”

    “To work, obviously,” Alhaitham drawls, without looking back. “Go enjoy your plans.”

    --

    Alhaitham struggles with work-life balance in his new role.

    Summary

    “Finally,” Cyno says. Alhaitham raises an eyebrow, but does not speak. It’s not really a surprise. It’s a rare beast indeed that manages to get the drop on the General Mahamatra (or Cyno, or the Wolf of Spantamad, or the Judicator of Secrets, or any of the thousands of things he’s been called over the years, as if to name a thing is to define it), and Alhaitham is nothing so unique. He is but a feeble scholar, after all.

    “Your thoughts are so loud,” Cyno adds. Alhaitham looks down at him as he steps closer, closer, all the way until they stand side-by-side. There is a space between them that Alhaitham only knows how to define as the absence of touch; he’s so aware of Cyno’s presence, his skin prickling with Cyno’s errant warmth, that if he could not see the small distance between them, he wouldn’t believe it there at all.

    “They only seem loud relative to the dearth found in others,” Alhaitham retorts.

    It’s probably for the best Dehya can’t see him now, Alhaitham decides, because he knows exactly the expression she would be making at the way his eyes always gravitate towards Cyno’s hands.
