    Summary

    With a heavy sigh, Kaveh buried his face in his pillow. All of his romantic ideals, as usual, were quashed by the one man he actually yearned for such affections from - a marriage for the sake of fucking tax deductions.

    Though it made sense in a cold, rational way, such a logical and disinterested proposal for Kaveh to willingly sacrifice his heart for nothing more than mora cut deep into his chest. And worst of all... Alhaitham was unaware that Kaveh’s heart could never even belong to anyone but him - that he was already the sole benefactor of Kaveh’s silent longing, having stolen Kaveh’s heart against his will long ago.

    Kaveh curled around his pillow as if the soft cotton of his pillowcase could offer a reprieve from the turmoil churning deep in his stomach. He’d long since made peace with his unrequited love for Alhaitham, resigning himself to a lifetime of suppressed yearning - but this? This was torture, plain and simple, demanding mental gymnastics that Kaveh wasn’t confident he was flexible enough to contort himself into.

    Summary

    “I’ve designed many buildings in my career,” Kaveh begins, the attention of every single person in the crowd fixed on him. “Most of which have been extravagant pieces made to stand tall in our city and glitter.”

    Kaveh glances down at what must be some notes on the podium, pausing before he looks back up, shining in the bright lights of the stage.

    “But in recent years, I must admit that my focus has shifted.”

    Alhaitham leans forward, watching, hoping for something he can't quite admit. Not when the truth is that he’s never known how to say that he is hungry without fear that people will see the truth that he is starving.

    Or, a year after the events of the Interdarshan Championship, Alhaitham finally retires

    Summary

    “Wait! Aren’t you going to tell me your name? I’m Kaveh.”

    Shoulders stiffening at the sound of his name, the mercenary halfway turned his head, as though glancing at Kaveh out of the corner of his eye.

    “Alhaitham.”

    Kaveh can’t quite figure out the Eremite he hired to guide him through the desert. Alhaitham’s refusal to answer any questions, and his apparent talent for speaking a dead language, makes him all the more interesting…and infuriating. Kaveh’s curiosity about what secrets Alhaitham is hiding might just be the end of him.

    After all, curiosity is often the most dangerous thing in this land.

    Summary

    This feeling of wrongness, this numbness, the emptiness of his hands, is a heartbreak. One he can’t explain the origins of, doesn’t know the cause of, but a heartbreak nonetheless.

    Mikage Furnace stands out behind his eyes, a graveyard more than anything else. Childe thinks he knows what happened there, centuries ago, although he can’t explain how he even knows something happened. The deserted village seems so utterly important and yet he can’t pinpoint what about it feels the closest to fulfillment.

    How ironic.

    To be a Harbinger for the Cryo Archon, the God of love — and yet kneel at her feet as an empty vessel, untouched by any love. To be her warrior, her weapon, and have his heart broken regardless.

     

    Or: Scaramouche deletes himself from Irminsul. Childe doesn’t remember him, but he remembers being in love. When he runs into Wanderer in Sumeru, he can’t help but feel like he knows him.
