Summary
“This is not an invitation to spoil me,” Albedo says through a bite, a hand over his mouth. “As you have with Klee.”
“I have no idea what you are talking about," Kaeya laughs. “Although… would it really be that bad, if I wanted to take care of you?”
(Or: When Sucrose mentions that she's been worried about Albedo and his constant cases of zoning out, Kaeya takes it upon himself to investigate the situation.)

Summary
"I wonder when you'll tell me something that has an ending, Sir Flins," Illuga remembered grumbling.
"Master Illuga," Flins had said, melancholy lacing his honeyed words, "the day I tell you a story with an ending..."
Illuga's heart dropped to his gut.
The day that happened...would be the day they stop meeting. For one reason or another.
(Or, the moment Flins and Illuga met after defeating Dottore and before the League meeting.)

Summary
“I shouldn’t pry into your business,” Illuga says. “I only asked because I was thinking about something you said in Nasha Town. You said your friends don’t understand your habits.”
“I detect an unasked question. Would you like to know if I consider us friends? Or perhaps what kind of strange habits I was talking about? Frankly, young master, my private affairs are none of—”
“I am not asking about your private affairs,” Illuga interrupts, looking at the ground. “And I wasn’t asking if you consider us friends, either. I suppose I wanted to know if that was why you spend all your time at the Final Night Cemetery, instead of with the rest of the Lightkeepers.”
A normal afternoon with two normal Lightkeepers.

Summary
“Sir, kindly do not obstruct us,” says the matra sharply. “We are in the midst of carrying out an arrest.”
“An arrest?” repeats Kaveh, incredulously. “You’re arresting him? You’re arresting him? Why, what in Teyvat has he done?”
The Archon Rescue Operation is going as smoothly as it possibly can — that is, until Kaveh returns prematurely from his desert trip, and runs into Alhaitham at the absolute worst possible moment.
Of course he would.

Summary
A series of strange events has begun to enter Illuga's life, and a certain Ratnik takes it upon himself to guard the human that's dear to him, but not without having his fair share of mischief!
“Illuga, I don’t think you need to wear the nails anymore.” His father starts one day as they were eating dinner, placing his fork to the side of his plate. “Or placing salt on the windowsill, and you can take down the horseshoe by your door.”
“I thought the nails were for The Wild Hunt.”
“It turned out to be a bit more of a hassle when—er—Rolf scratched himself with it.”
“Oh dear…is he alright?”
“Nothing major—just—take off all of that stuff.”

“Don’t do that again,” Illuga whispered, his voice soft and silky amidst the golden glow of the flames, warmed up by them, sluggish and tinted with the sweet embrace of sleep. “Just, ask for help, next time.” And even quieter, uttered so achingly soft; please.

Summary
For a man raised to want nothing, Flins finds himself wanting Illuga’s company far too easily. A shared gift, a shared night, and the quiet understanding that neither of them is as untouched as they pretend.

Summary
Flins's self-imposed isolation once led Illuga to assume a distaste for social obligations, perhaps to avoid small talk with his peers. Far from it. Once the man got going, he never quite stopped. Plenty of late nights by the lighthouse can attest to that.
---
Flins is a mystery Illuga has yet to figure out. He'd like to.

Summary
Alhaitham has a meltdown in the House of Daena - terrible timing, considering he's sitting right beside Kaveh. But instead of responding with judgment or treating him like a burden, his senior shields him with unexpected gentleness... and something inside Alhaitham starts to shift toward Kaveh in a way he can't quite name.
The library was never truly silent, but the air seemed to be heavier than usual with noise - pages turning, whispers rising, chairs scraping, pens scratching on parchment in an endless loop that pressed against the confines of Alhaitham’s skull and set him on edge.
The final straw was the tragic 'beep boop' of his noise-cancelling headphones’ battery shutting down. And as they powered off... Alhaitham’s pencil snapped in half with a sharp crack.
All at once, the world was unbearably loud.

Summary
Albedo rushes up to her, easily picking her up and heading towards her room. “Hey! No, let me go! Mister Swan said Kaeya was hurt!” She protests, and almost kicks at Albedo’s chest before he puts her down swiftly in the middle of her room.
Albedo runs a hand through her hair, and she can feel it shaking. “Stay here. I’ll be back for you in a bit, yeah? Just gotta take care of some things. Can you do that for me?”
“Okay.” Obviously, she's not going to do that for him. Klee is now on a quest to one, find kaeya and see what happened to him, two, fix him up, somehow. That's what a little sister should do for her big brother.
-
Alternatively, Kaeya gets stabbed, Klee thinks she's a god, which is definitely Venti's fault, Albedo is stressed but put together, and Diluc is in desperate need of therapy. Klee takes it upon herself as a god to see to it that Kaeya heals, her big brothers stay safe (and in love), and Diluc gets the help he desperately needs with working things out with Kaeya.
Oh, and Childe is there... for a bit.Series

“You need to calm down,” Kaeya hisses.
Albedo's grin reveals bloody teeth.
“Play with me, little prince,” he croons. “We’re going to have so much fun.”

Kaeya said he'd stop him. He didn't think it would come to this.

Summary
Albedo hums and leans in close. Kaeya doesn’t move back.
“I know good things when I see them,” he says, his breath fanning against Kaeya’s face. Kaeya swallows. “You are very, very good, Kaeya Alberich.”
------
Or, Albedo moves to Mondstadt. He and Kaeya don't get along.

“You are walking down a dangerous path, Albedo…”
“As have you,” responds Albedo. “I spent months trying to understand you, Captain, why you act the way you do, why you provoke me.” He takes another step closer. “Why I like it.”
Kaeya's heart falters.
(Or: There are some things Kaeya and Albedo definitely need to talk about.)

Summary
Kaveh's eyelashes flutter open. Alhaitham is greeted with the most beautiful shade of maroon red he has ever seen. There's no hostility in Kaveh's gaze, no insecurity. Alhaitham won't have to decode his silence today.
No, Kaveh simply smiles, and then giggles as he tries to spin in Alhaitham's arms.
"Dance with me," Kaveh mumbles, and Alhaitham wraps his arm around his middle a little tighter. "'Haitham, pretend you don't dislike me. Just this once."

Summary
When Sucrose, Albedo, and Lisa begin clinical, controlled trials on a potential love potion, they're delighted to find that it works just as expected. Until, of course, they administer the potion to Kaeya.
Albedo needs to know why there is an outlier in the data, and why Kaeya is the only person wholly unaffected by the potion.
Perhaps being in love just isn't in their nature.

Summary
After a fight, Alhaitham has a nightmare where he loses Kaveh entirely. Waking brings no relief - only a fear he can't shake, pushing him toward Kaveh's door while praying he hasn't already gone too far.
Instantly withdrawn, Kaveh rose to his feet, silently gathered his blueprints, and turned his back. Dragging a hand over his face, Alhaitham reached for the gentler words he should’ve used in the first place to try and undo the damage - but Kaveh cut him off with a quiet 'leave me alone' and retreated into his bedroom without a backward glance.
It hadn’t even been an insult, but it was somehow all the more piercing for its bare simplicity. In one solitary sentence, Alhaitham heard the echo of every fear he carried about himself - incapable of the softness required to hold something as bright as Kaveh’s trust without breaking it into pieces.
