    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.”

    Summary

    “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.
