Summary
It was in that very same table that a grey haired eccentric met an ambitious, artistic optimist all those years ago.
The story was as follows, as we all know it.
Except the addition of a crooked paper crane.5 times Kaveh gave Alhaitham a paper crane + 1 time Alhaitham gave him one back

Summary
Sandrone is gone, isn’t she? Columbina held her mechanical body, cradled it in her arms as the key in her back stopped turning, poured her kuuvahki, sparse as it may be, all over Teyvat to sense her presence.
Nowhere does she feel Sandrone. As expected, she is alone, she has always been. As a goddess of the Frostmoon Scions, a harbinger of the Fatui, there is no one beside her to act as a true companion.
Columbina yearns for Sandrone. She gets invited to breakfast with Lauma and Nefer.

Summary
Clearly, the universe is aligning in a most inaccurate way, for Director Aventurine of the Ten Stonehearts is not in love with Dr. Veritas Ratio of the Intelligentsia Guild.
More curiously, how could this be? Perhaps those magenta and blue ringed irises serve as a veil to the ultimate truth— Veritas Ratio is perfect to fall in love with.
In which both of them think the other isn’t in love

Summary
And then, the unimaginable happens.
Aventurine, his roommate, the man he only occasionally speaks to for more than minutes at a time, leans over in their shared bed, and kisses him. A brief peck, leaving Veritas no time to react and his world spinning.
"Wait." He says firmly, giving his roommate pause. "Why did you do that?"
Aventurine snorts, and his lips twitch like he's trying not to smile. "You told me you love me. You don't remember?"
The air knocks itself out of Veritas' lungs. "I…I what?"
The countdown to one Veritas Ratio telling his roommate that he loves him, and the days after.

Summary
Kaveh angrily shoves the last of his bagel down his throat, then cracks his knuckles and positions his keyboard out in front of him.
you, he types furiously into the small comment box, are exactly the reason why so many fanfic authors quit writing. lucky for you i don’t give a SHIT about your blockheaded, extremely unqualified opinion. thanks for adding to my already massive view count!!! be sure to subscribe to get notified when i post another work!
Then he presses post and slams his laptop closed.
Kaveh deals with his #1 internet hater, FlyingVulture: some rando who reads his Deshret x Nabu fanfiction and leaves comments about how bad his characterization is.
Meanwhile, he also deals with his #1 real life hater, Al-Haitham: his roommate.

Summary
“Look, this might sound a little strange… but could you hear me out for a moment?” Phainon asks, his tone hopeful.
Mydei supposes he signed himself to it. He gives a short nod. Phainon fidgets with the bandage between his fingers.
“I wanted today to be special.” He pauses, his shoulders dropping slightly. “There’s someone I’ve wanted to ask out for a long time.”
Oh, by Nikador balls. Mydei was really going to have to sit here and listen to Phainon gush about his undying crush on Cyrene, wasn’t he? He clenches his fists inside the costume, a wave of discomfort washing over him.
Mydei is working part-time as a mascot at the recently opened Chimera Park. While wearing his Fig Stew costume, he unexpectedly befriends a cheerful teenager, who happens to be both his classmate and his long-time secret crush for over two years, Phainon.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Mehrak may not be the smartest piece of machinery out there, but it is nothing if not devoted to its creator. Anything Kaveh asks of it, Mehrak will perform to the best of its capabilities.
One day, it finds itself presented with its greatest challenge yet: to make Kaveh “happy”.
In which Mehrak mistakes a throwaway comment from Kaveh as an order and does everything in its (regrettably limited) power to fulfill it. When it realizes that Kaveh’s happiness could lie with a certain roommate, it intends to throw everything it has into playing matchmaker.
(And if it learns a little bit more about itself along the way—well, all the better, right?)
