Summary
Armin Arlert has spent years confined to the quiet routine of his bedroom, his world reduced to four walls and a window that leads nowhere. With a body that betrays him at every turn and parents who smother him with concern, he’s long since stopped hoping for more.
His world is small, until Eren Jaeger moves in next door.
Loud, persistent, and impossible to ignore, Eren is everything Armin isn’t. But Armin knows better than to get attached. His body has limits. His heart has defenses. Eren has wounds.
Yet, Armin can't remember the last time he felt this alive.
--
Or, that one Eremin neighbors-to-friends-to-lovers fic where Armin's an exhausted, chronically ill recluse, and Eren teaches him how to live and love again.
(The beginning's a bit rough but it gets better I promise)

Fate's Mischief: The Prince and the Assassin by IridescentLotus

Summary
“I’ve always wanted to watch a royal bleed.”
“Go ahead. You’ll have to live the rest of your life knowing the hell you plunged your people into. The peasantry doesn’t eat without me.”
“Excuse me, princess? How dare you think you know anything about me and where I come from?”
“Your blade is forged of carbon steel, and you reek of lye soap and woodsmoke. On top of that, the fact that you think I’m your enemy proves you’re painfully uneducated. You must be a shit assassin who’s killed more innocent victims than you can imagine.”
In the medieval country of Paradis, soulmates are connected through locked objects and the keys that open them. Assassin Eren Jaeger's ideal soulmate is a dead noble. The key around his neck — a symbol of freedom and control. While performing an assassination contract, Eren's key unlocks a mysterious book that shows him the true meaning of freedom. The one his soul is bound to — the prince, who turns everything Eren knows upside down, and digs up secrets long buried.

Summary
Xiao isn't a person. He hasn't been since he was five years old. He's a weapon of war, a killing machine. So even if he is that boy in the mural, the one with the mother god and the dragon, what does it matter. He'll never be that boy again. It's as accurate a reflection as a gravestone.

Summary
Or: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
In which Venti harbors a suspicion that the neighboring Geo Archon hates his guts and is actively trying to unseat him from the Seven, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
“He just casually sharpens his spear while talking to me. All the time! I mean, who does that? How am I supposed to not perceive that as a threat?”
“To be fair, we are talking about a god of martial arts, here,” the Pyro Archon suggested. “That seems pretty par for the course.”
“Okay, you are all being way too calm about this!” Venti snapped. “You guys realize he only does this to me? I mean,” he started, counting on his fingers, “does he randomly visit any of you unannounced? Does he threateningly show off his spears when talking to any of you? Did he buy any of you a bunch of fancy wine right before the winter gala so you’d get super drunk and make an ass of yourselves? No! It’s only me! It’s always me! Because he’s trying to get rid of me at any cost!”

Summary
“Just think of all the Mora…” he whispers to himself, unbuttoning the ends of his sleeves.
Zhongli shows up not long after. Similar to yesterday, he’s dressed stupidly well: nice suit, hair combed back perfectly and eyeliner that slays. Venti admits, only to himself, that he isn’t hard on the eyes and is, relatively, unobtrusive.
Zhongli’s smile is beautiful, though.
“Are you ready to go?” Zhongli asks, voice smooth and slow but gentle.
Why did someone so flawless on paper need to hire someone to be their date?
In which Zhongli needs a fiancé for the holidays and Venti is broke enough to answer that online ad.

Summary
Had I known the new anemo archon would be so infuriating, I would have banned every gust of wind from the nation.
My dearest god of contracts, you ought to know better than to make promises like that!
Morax takes the wine like it is poison. Surrender is apparent in his voice. A contract in full, then. I drink from this bottle, and you leave me be for the next fifty years.
Be sure to enjoy it in its entirety.
Morax looks at him with thinly-veiled disgust. The fifty years begins now.
(Or: the conversations they have over the years.)

Summary
Venti remembers the man in the alleyway, lit almost ablaze in the lamplight. The gold in his eyes. The meteor orbiting his shoulders. His hands had been as steady as the earth, and when he held Venti, he had called him—
—a name he hadn’t heard in a long, long time.
After hearing news of Morax’s death, Venti travels to Liyue to honor a tradition that the Original Seven had long held: each time one of them passed on, those that remained would gather to drink a toast and say their final goodbyes.
He figures Morax deserves this, at the least, even if it’s a party of one. He didn’t think it would be so hard to do it alone.
Drunk, lonely, and despairing, Venti takes to wandering the streets of Liyue and stumbles upon a well-dressed stranger by the name of Zhongli, who reminds him far too much of what he’s just lost.
