His Eyes Never Change (Gold like Cor Lapis, Blue as Noctilucous Jade) by stars_at_dawn

Summary
10/02/2024 - MAJOR EDITS DONE - Guizhong's adeptus form has been changed, previous chapters affected include Chapters 20 and 22
It takes a lot to catch Tartaglia, 11th of the Fatui Harbingers, off guard. Between surviving three months with the monsters of the Abyss at age fourteen, fighting his way up from square one through the ranks of the Fatui to his current position, and maintaining his facade as “The Greatest Toy Salesman in Snezhnaya” in the eyes of his youngest and most mischievous brother; yes, it would take a lot to find him in a truly tight spot.
Waking up in a body that existed nearly 3,700 years ago in the land that had yet to become Liyue? That would be disorienting even for a god. And speaking of gods, the only person he can turn to happens to be one. Here's hoping that the younger Zhongli is as friendly as the one Childe has grown close to.
Arc 1: Dreams, Incense, and the Gods (Ch. 1-13)
Arc 2: Secrets Beneath the Clouds (Ch. 14-23)
Arc 3: Unearthed Truths (Ch. 24-32)
Arc 4: Days of Gold (33-39)
Arc 5: When the Dust Settles (40-???)Featuring some amazing fanart! Credits found in the chapter notes.

Summary
There was a girl back in the Akademiya. Odd, that she was so integral to his expulsion, and yet Zandik could not remember her name. He barely remembered her face. He remembered what she looked like when he cut her open at the picnic – the horror so fleeting, how her mouth slanted and froze there, like it intended to slide off her face. She’d thought he was handsome and interesting. He hadn’t cared if she thought he was the ugliest creature Irimsul ever recorded, truthfully. He just wanted to know what it looked like to see someone’s insides, how long it took for them to cool from the unyielding grip of death.
He cared if this stranger thought he was handsome.
“Do you trust me, Veksel?” He asked at last.
And Feofan smiled at him, glitter in those spellbinding eyes. “Not even slightly.”
---
Zandik is not certain he loves. But he is certain he knows what he wants -- and what all versions of him have in common.

Summary
"B-Boyfriend?! Since when were we dati-" A moan slipped past his lips as Dottore rubbed his erection through his pants, while unbuckling them.
Suddenly, all action came to a stop as Dottore looked Pantalone in the eyes. Red eyes met violet, and Dottore leaned down pecking Pantalone on the lips and then proceeded to tilt his head like a puppy whose dreams had just been stomped on.
"Love, we’re dating, are we not?" he questioned, red eyes glistening. "You know, I don’t like it when someone touches what’s mine." The hold he had on Pantalone's waist tightened at this.
TDLR; Pantalone is in denial of Dottore loving him. Dottore is possessive and overprotective and thinks they're already dating. Basically that light angst and misunderstandings with a shit ton of fluff fic that no one asked for.

Summary
Common Courting Habits of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes):
1) Increased vocalization: Red foxes become especially chatty, barking and yipping much more often in order to attract potential mates
2) Resource offerings: Red foxes will assist mates in locating a suitable den in which to have kits, or will provide food to their mate and assist with hunting
3) Increased scent-marking: Male red foxes will become extremely interested in the scent markings made by potential mates, investigating each one diligently. Female red foxes may also leave more scent markings at the beginning of mating season.4) They become increasingly clingy Harbinger brats and you're dense, Zhongli. Thank god Lumine has Teyvat's braincell.
