Summary
When Alhaitham learns that Kaveh has never felt truly seen or loved in a relationship, he approaches the problem as he would any other: with a rigorous, five-week experiment based on the concept of love languages. It is a perfectly logical plan to discover what makes his roommate feel cherished.
The only flaw in his methodology? Failing to account for his own heart, especially when a certain serious-minded Mondstadt winemaker named Diluc takes an interest in Kaveh's genius.

The Intimacy of a Simple Gift by LeviathansQuill

Summary
Hu Tao prodded, “So who keeps sending the baskets, hmm? A friend? A lover?! Mr. Zhongli, I didn’t know you were the type to take lovers! You always seemed like the lone wolf type of guy to me.”
Zhongli sighed, shaking his head, but fondness tugged at the corners of his lips anyway, despite his best efforts, “Director Hu, please… May I be left alone?”
“Yeah, yeah,” she turned dramatically, pivoting on her heel with her other leg kicked up high. “Have fun with your little gift basket.” She closed the door behind her, her giggles fading away as she crept back down the hall.

Dottore raised an eyebrow under his mask, feeling his lip curl up in a grimace. “Her Majesty, The Tsaritsa… Wants me to give all of the other Harbingers… Check-ups?” Pierro gave a soft nod. Dottore sighed, whispering under his breath, “Her Benevolence knows no bounds, truly… What am I? Some hoity-toity healer?”

The Problem With Being Too Polite by orphan_account

Summary
Diluc Ragnvindr is many things: a skilled fighter, a responsible businessman, and someone who rarely shows his softer side.
So when he starts leaving Zhongli small gifts, remembering every little detail about his preferences, and going out of his way to make sure he’s comfortable, everyone notices.
Everyone except Zhongli.
While Zhongli assumes Diluc is simply being an exceptionally courteous friend, Venti and Kaeya are left wondering how someone so wise can be so completely oblivious.
Between failed attempts at explaining modern romance, Kaeya making the situation even worse, and Diluc slowly losing patience, one thing becomes clear:
Sometimes the hardest part of love isn’t admitting your feelings…
It’s realizing someone has been showing you them all along.

Summary
"It's not as if it's hot out," Dottore remarks, "so I'm not entirely sure what you're complaining about."
"It's too bright." Pantalone brings his cigarette to his lips. Dottore flicks it out from between his fingers and watches as it fizzles out in the snow. Pantalone gives him a look.
Dottore shrugs. "The light from your cigarette was too bright."
"You're ridiculous."
"And yet you keep me around."
Alternatively: A dichotomy in every sense of the word, and yet here they stand, against all odds, inextricably bound. Some things transcend all logic, it would seem—most certainly a partnership that transcends death itself.

Summary
"What?" the man continues. "Never heard one of your test subjects talk before, doctor?"
And, well, it's not quite that, exactly, because of course this isn't the first time one of his test subjects has spoken to him while on the gurney… it's just that typically, they're wide-eyed and frantic, wasting every ounce of their remaining strength to pointlessly plead for him and his segments to spare their lives.
And yet, this man is different.
He lies strapped to an operating table beneath the cold, clinical gaze and scalpel of the infamously insane second Harbinger, slowly dying of a stab wound, and yet he remains impossibly calm, the ghost of a smile on his lips and his voice smooth as velvet.
How peculiar.
"It's a shame we have to kill this one," 35 remarks. "I find that I quite like him."
Alternatively: A report spanning 380 years, beginning in a laboratory where people go to die. Here is the story of a so-called doctor and the man who is his longest-running experiment.

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.

Lover of the Emperor, Enemy of the State by equinoctial
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
Many have flocked to Liyue to try their hand at conquering Rex Lapis’ Path of Indomitable Jade, rumoured to be relentless in its challenge but bountiful in its reward. Unsurprisingly, Ajax’s one track mind honed in on the word challenge and ran all the way to Celestia with it.
No one told him it was a bygone tradition that vied for the emperor’s hand in marriage, not until much later, when Liyue was already decked to the nines in preparation for the coronation of the emperor’s beloved consort– an Ajax-shaped consort.
(In which a bored Childe thinks he’s scaling up mountains to fight adepti and gain bountiful gifts for his nation and all that jazz, but he actually ends up wooing one of them and fighting favour from the rest and-- uh, wait, what do you mean the eccentric rock enthusiast is the emperor--)

Summary
Pantalone scoffs. "What's your favorite part then, hmm?"
"When Vodyanitsa's character dies, of course."
"Ah. Naturally."
It is truly a shame that Pierro had the foresight to order the Harbingers to be civil to one another for the duration of the show. If he hadn't, the issue of Sandrone's present company would have been dealt with by the end of the first act. "Has it ever occurred to either of you," she mutters, "that not everyone has seen this play before?"
Pantalone hums lightly. "Opera, actually."
Sandrone is going to kill him.
Alternatively: Sandrone has the misfortune of being seated next to Dottore and Pantalone at the opera. It is perhaps the most horrendous three hours of her entire career.

Summary
Pantalone draws a shaky breath. "I was in your office earlier," he begins, "looking for a copy of your will. You don't have a will. Did you know that?"
Dottore says nothing. Pantalone takes a drag of his cigarette and continues.
"One of your subordinates came in looking for something. He reeked of antiseptic. I had to send him away."
Because he smelled like antiseptic?
"Because he smelled like you."
Alternatively: The funeral proceedings of a man who dared to fly too close to the sun. Forsaken by all, survived by one.

Summary
He has never known an impulse to heal until the day the banker crossed his gurney, battered and bruised and covered in a number of stab wounds that for once, Dottore did not long to tear open but to stitch together. Knowing he was at death's door, the man had still smiled, and he spoken to Dottore with such tranquility that Dottore had known, then, that this man was worth keeping, and for once had longed not to break, but to heal.
And it is with Pantalone at his side that Dottore has learned that perhaps he is not alone in this world, for here is another like him. Here is another man who does not know kindness, for the world has forsaken him, too. Your violent, bloodstained hands in mine, at the softness of your touch I come undone.
Alternatively: An attempt by broken men to define those delicate things which they were never taught. It is a shame, indeed, that they have not known such grace until each other.
Inspired by a poem, which can be found here.

Summary
“I didn’t realize,” she mumbles. Cyno looks up at her, confused. She isn’t usually so ashamed of her nosiness. Usually more defensive, actually. “I didn’t realize they were from your lover.”
Cyno’s face suddenly burns as if Dehya had tried to cauterize it. “What?”
“The letters,” she stammers. “I only read one, I swear. I thought they were business letters.”
“You thought they were busine—Tighnari?” Cyno bounces back, helplessly. “Tighnari is not my lover.”
Suddenly, Dehya’s eyebrows furrow. “Excuse me?”
Her confusion offends him further. “Yes, excuse you.”
“No, no,” Dehya shakes her nosy head, stepping closer and snatching up a letter, unfolding it and scanning it. Cyno only lets her because he is confident that whatever she finds there will back him up. “Yours, Tighnari? Does he sign every letter like this?” -

Summary
Al-Haitham stands up too and uses the few inches he has over Kaveh to lean over him. "I suppose so. Thank you, Kaveh."
He doesn't know what compels him to do it—maybe it's the electric-hot pulse still thrumming through his veins from Kaveh's touch, his gentle fingers skating along the edges of his gloves, a heel tapping against his calf—but all Al-Haitham knows that it is Kaveh, on the edge of his peripheries, dancing just out of view, and he leans forward to place a single, delicate kiss along the bridge of his nose. Right along the freckles dotting his skin like stars.
The effects are immediate. A blush spreads like a wildfire along Kaveh's skin, which has always been a little too telling for Al-Haitham, and he splutters, blinking rapidly. "Why did you—"
He touches his nose in something akin to wonder, looking at Al-Haitham almost shyly, who grins and resolves immediately to learn how to be gentle if this is how he can make Kaveh come undone in return for peeling Al-Haitham apart like a ribbon with every glancing touch.
Five times Al-Haitham kisses Kaveh on the nose and one time Kaveh returns the favor.

How to Court a Fatui Harbinger (Like a Dragon Would) by the_untamed_poet25
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
10 Aug 2025

Summary
There comes a moment in every dragon’s unnaturally long life where they decide, against all wisdom, against millennia of stoic solitude, against the soft hiss of slumbering tectonic plates that beg do not, do not, do not—
to fall in love.Zhongli has already lived through three mortal epochs and a dozen minor heartbreaks, a handful of cataclysmic betrayals, and once, a rather distressing culinary incident involving Sumeru spices and a brass teapot. He has watched civilizations rise and crumble like sandcastles abandoned by impatient gods. He has kissed emperors with ash still cooling in their mouths. He has forgotten entire dialects of love.
But this one—
Tartaglia. The Eleventh Harbinger. Fatui dog. That insufferable ginger menace who insists on calling him “xiansheng” while disarming hilichurls with a grin that belongs on wanted posters and in back-alley sonnets.
This one, Zhongli decides, is worth the return of rituals.
In which Zhongli confuses “romantic gestures” with “terrifying declarations of eternal possession,” and Childe is into it anyway.

Summary
Now, Childe wasn’t saying he had a thing for dragons.
But he had, that night, in the privacy of his Liyue apartment (with Zhongli staying over, of course, because “it is impolite to sleep alone, my dear”), turned to his notebook and scribbled in large, spidery handwriting:
PROS OF DATING A DRAGON:
Sexy voice.
Literal god. Will protect me from death and taxes.
Has a hoard. Probably full of rare artifacts, bones, and tea.
Tail.
And underneath, in much bolder, much more desperate handwriting:
FUCKING TAIL.
In which Childe awakens his inner dragon simp and Zhongli regrets having ears.

Summary
Durin has learnt a lot about "courting" and "romance" from observing humans. He still doesn't really understand much, but according to his observations, he definitely thinks there's something "going on" between Albedo and Wanderer. Durin decides it's up to him to do something about it, and begins his great undertaking of a certain task he's heard of: the art of "match making".
Albedo was speechless for a moment before finally speaking up. “Durin,” he asked nicely, “just how many people did you ask about this?”
Wanderer watched with apprehension as Durin mentally counted on his fingers, distinctly feeling the physical sensation of a rock dropping into his stomach, as Durin’s two hands ran out of fingers and he had to start fresh on his left hand once again.
“You know what? Don’t answer that. Don’t answer that question.” Wanderer snapped.
