Summary
Kaeya has a bit of a proposal problem. He has always been a popular man, but the flowers are starting to overwhelm his office and he can only take so many more pointed comments from the elderly grandmothers of Mondstadt about how nice a spouse their grandchildren would make.
Kaeya has only ever wanted to marry one man, after all.
Or, Diluc receives some interesting news from Jean before the annual Ordo Favonius winter party and has a bit of a “come to Barbatos” moment. In front of everybody.

Diluc blinks. “No stars where?”
“In Khaenri'ah.”
Aside from that one terrible night, this is the most Kaeya has ever spoken about his homeland.

Summary
“Charles, I was thinking,” He talks as though Charles isn’t waiting on knees, desperate and pleading, “I think you don’t get to come unless I beat you in qualifying.”
Charles is speechless. It’s Wednesday, they had just checked into the hotel hours earlier. Qualifying isn’t until Saturday.
“What?” Charles barely manages to squeak out.
“I’ll know, if you do. You know that,” Seb walks back over towards the bed, not even sparing a look in Charles’ direction. “Beat me in qualifying, and you don’t get to come until the race.”or; Singapore 2019.

“This was the last time,” Charles says.
The low light of the bathroom catches on his face as he turns to Seb.
Seb scoffs, a short laugh coming out. “Yeah, sure thing, kid.”
"I hope you savored it," Charles says, mouth twisting bitterly, and then he's slipping away, out of the room.
It’s only later, much later, when Charles realizes they were not talking about the same thing.
Sebastian Vettel never wins another race.

Let’s be clear here, when you say “selected” you mean “stoned to death.”
Just like an adult would be in that circumstance, yeah.

Summary
One of them would go to the draft lottery winning Aces and one of them would go to the Leafs and they’d meet twice a year barring any injuries because God knows they wouldn’t be sent down to the minors. Sending Kent Parson or Jack Zimmermann down to the minors would be like sending your prize stallion out to the stables when everyone paid to see a fucking show. They’d insert feline hissing noises into the broadcast and caption it “Catfight,” they’d compare their game-day suits and judge who was hotter (not on like, Hockey Night in Canada, but on the dudebro hockey blogs that Kent pretends she doesn’t read). Kent would hate it, but accept it, because it would all mean being on the ice with Zimms again. She’d skate circles around Jack in the warm ups, bucket-less with her hair and chirps flowing and Jack? Jack would smile, helmet on, the picture of austerity save the glimmer of a smirk in her eyes.
They’d had limited edition Barbies made, for fuck’s sake. Kent’s got one in a box on her mantle. The doll has its own hockey stick but the skates are high heeled. You win some, you lose more.

"Kent is an anomaly, a bug in the system. Someday, the NHL will course correct and things will revert to the old normal."

Bookmarker's Notes
"“The last pages are approaching,” says Hamlet, his voice soft. “The reader’s almost ready to close the book. Do you think they’ll weep for me?”
“You’re not a novel,” says Horatio. “You’re not a book. You don’t have a story, you have a life—”
Hamlet laughs, his eyes bright. “I don’t think I’ll have either,” he says, “soon,” and then he coughs, and his lungs sound so empty."

Summary
Klavier goes through relationships like most people go through water.
Bookmarked by RagnvindrRed (CatchAsCatchCan)
03 Jan 2021
Bookmarker's Notes
"Apollo nods, but he disagrees with part of that. Klavier is being himself. Apollo is pretty sure that this insanely focused, completely intense individual is who Klavier naturally is. Klavier always worked so hard to watch himself, to tone himself down, to make himself tolerable to be around and with. He was polite and friendly and sometimes even personable. He was likeable.
But Klavier is out of control. He's very much like his brother. Kristoph was always in control, always careful, until he wasn't. But even then he was focused and he was full-on and there was no stopping the intensity of his very presence. He was dark and smothering and oppressive. Klavier, here and now, is exactly the same."
