Summary
Xiao is quiet as he eats. Xiao will only eat food aside from almond tofu if Aether begs him to, and really, Xiao will eat anything he makes. Because they are dating now and Xiao is just physically incapable of saying no, always expecting a thorough lashing at the end of his gentlest refusals.
Aether tries not to let it affect him, but Archons how it makes him feel blue.
“Xiao, do you like my cooking?”
Because surprisingly, it takes one plate of Fontainian food to bring two yearning hearts even closer.

Until… one night late in their senior year, Kazuha makes a deal with Scaramouche that promises he will never step foot in his life ever again.

Summary
To be able to receive a supreme gnosis Scaramouche has scrubbed away all trace of human emotion. Though for some reason his body aches, screams and curls in on itself after he has finally pushed the power container into his chest.
Ignoring the pain, he searches for someone to test his powers on and luckily stumbles upon a maple wearing stranger.
However, the torturing pain in his chest grows all the more consuming until he is barely able to move anymore. Nonetheless, he needs to get himself together in order to rub his supremity into his creator's face - whatever the costs are he will gladly bear them.
With every passing day his body's condition worsens but somehow there always is a wanderer with a red streak of hair, catching him whenever he falls.Check out the Russian Translation!

Summary
With a hum, Kazuha slid the sword down his neck and traced it across his clothed chest. “How’s this? More of your liking?” Kazuha questioned. He hooked his sword under a fold in his shirt and effortlessly cut through the fabric. Scaramouche looked down when he felt the shirt being ripped, about to tell him off until he felt the cold sword pressing against his warm chest, inching towards his stomach. He shared glances between the sword and Kazuha’s expressionless face as he continued what he was doing.
“You’re a freak,” Scaramouche insulted, glaring at him.
...
Scaramouche isn't sure whether sneaking onto The Crux is his biggest achievement or his biggest mistake.

Summary
“It is nice that you have made a friend amongst them as well,” Zhongli says.
Xiao looks at him with a frown and raises his brow.
Zhongli glances at him and blinks. “The Traveller.”
“He is not a friend,” Xiao clarifies. “He happens to be an acquaintance whom I do not mind helping out.”
Zhongli shifts his gaze back to the ocean and hums. Yet, a smile is evident on his face. Xiao isn’t sure if the implications of that are something he would like.or
Xiao learns what it is to be a friend and quite possibly make one and Aether learns the meaning of attachment through his days in Teyvat.

i think you're so good (and i'm nothing like you) by TrashcanWithSprinkles

Summary
Ajax had a soulmate mark, just like about half the population of Teyvat did.
If Ajax ever found his soulmate, he would pretend to be normal for them. He would observe from afar if possible, and make sure nothing happened to them. That no ailments ever came to them. That they never came to lack anything.
That was the plan. Or, at least, it had been, until the Tsaritsa requested an audience with him alone and asked to see his mark.“Tartaglia,” she began, serious. “That is Morax, the Geo Archon.”
-------------
Or, Ajax is Morax' soulmate, the Tsaritsa ships him off to Liyue, and he has to pretend like he doesn't feel like he's not good enough for the Geo Archon.
[the word count up to chapter 14 was 69 420 and i think i won't achieve something as beautiful ever again]

Summary
Intuition is Shikanoin Heizou's best friend, but some things are best confirmed in other ways. Especially when those things involve the love-struck Traveler.
__
Strands of mahogany-red hair obscure the blond’s vision as the detective’s hand slides down along the countertop as if to cage him in his seat, while the other taps against his cheek. Pearly white teeth curl into a playful grin, inching closer until the Traveler could smell the katsu sandwich the detective had eaten on his breath.“Because I like you, Aether.”
The delivery is nonchalant, the accompanying grin full of mirth and the gestures needlessly flirtatious. But the eyes - those sparkling, stunningly clear and beautiful meadow green eyes - are nothing but earnest.

Summary
Brughel Poisson was a necessary identity for Sampo, an elegant woman he used to carry out overworld business out of the eyes of the Silvermane Guards. But after a chance encounter in a bar, he manages to stumble into living on the Landau estate for an extended period of time. Playing Gepard's gentlemanly nature to get into close proximity of treasures likely hidden away on the estate.
But Sampo really didn't consider that he'd have to keep up his charade as Brughel the whole time. Which on it's own is fine, but when it's the only barrier between you and the person legally obligated to arrest you, it's different.
Even more different when you both have feelings for each other.
---“I never got your name, it may be important to know considering we will be living together for the foreseeable future.” Gepard used his free hand to push messy black bangs out of Sampo’s eyes, so he was able to look at him properly.
“Brughel Poisson, although I don’t have any esteemed titles like you do.”
“A title does not determine your worth nor your integrity, beyond the titles I too am just a human.”

Summary
When Dainsleif does show up, Kaeya always leans back in his chair, gazing at him with a small smile and says, “Did you miss me that much?”
Dainsleif always hangs his head, a bow of respect that he's never been able to let go of no matter how many years go by and says, “Of course.”
By the time morning comes, he’s gone again, into the shadows where he's lived for hundreds of years, away from anyone who might try to take him from this world or from Kaeya. Kaeya always sighs, takes a deep breath and leans his chin on his hand, deep in thought in his absence.
