    Summary

    ‘I think… I like him? Or is it love..? But!’ Kaveh hiccuped, lounging around his seat. ‘I think he will never ‘love’ me back because of his stupid rationality…’
    Kaveh then bursted out sobbing, hiding his face from plain view. ‘Since when was love meant to be rational?!’

    The myths and legend of Sumeru tell of a tale between the Scarlet King's ambitions and the Goddess of Flowers' folly in the desert. But what if there was more to their tragic end?

    Alhaitham struggles between rationality and love, seeking out answers by dealing with Kaveh's dependency to alcohol and his other silly antics. So what could potentially go wrong when past, present and future lives converge at one point in time? What would both men do then, when they go on a journey to paradise and find there is more to their love than it seems on the surface?

    (There will be warnings on chapters that involve sexual content in any form in the beginning notes if you wish not to read it - there will be a summary at the end of the said chapters)

    Summary

    There is one thing that everyone with even a passing interest in Deshretic ruins at the Sumeru Akademiya knows for certain: if you have a problem figuring out something in the course of your studies, if you run into a puzzle you cannot crack, your very last resort is to show it to Scribe Alhaitham.

     

    Alhaitham and Kaveh are, yes, King Deshret and Nabu Malikata's reborn forms. But they'll never realize it, because to them, all the things that hint towards that fact are just parts of their life. Talents, habits, stray feelings- they'd never figure it out on their own. Six things that are blatant hints that Alhaitham and Kaveh have a lot more going on in their lives than they know about that they absolutely ignored.

    Summary

    From as far back as she could remember, Sansa knew her parents’ soulmarks as well as their faces.

    Sansa had always known that their marks didn’t match, but it had taken her years to understand what that meant.

    #

    Jon's fingers ran over his mark reverently, if with a little sorrow.

    A grey wolf and a dragon with obvious Targaryen coloring? What else could it mean but that his soulmate was a Targaryen.

    The problem was, all the Targaryens were dead. Their children murdered in their sleep.

    #

    Jaime's soulmark was a solitary sword with a roaring lion carved into the hilt. It was a queer mark. Most marks were a representation of the bonded pair. There was no other person in his mark, though. It was just him.

    The gods made him to be selfish, then, so why not be selfish?

    Summary

    An obscure research paper from Mondstadt about the lesser known divine epithets of Barbatos unexpectedly causes a stir in Liyue, as some very old mysteries and gaps in Morax’s mythology suddenly gain answers.

    Or: “Celestia be damned, I will make sure historians remember us as ‘very close friends’ because that’s what you get for leaving me alone for so long,” the fic.

    Summary

    Alhaitham.
    I won’t say my dear, my dearest or my love, or any other sweet names you don’t deserve. You never call me those anyway. But it doesn’t matter.

    Because this is goodbye. You won't see me for a while.

    The newly reinstated Scribe- not Acting Grand Sage anymore- with the biggest salary any Scribe as ever gained- finally free from all the pompous titles saving a nation bestow upon you- Alhaitham, just freshly clocked-out for the day, already has enough of this bullshit.

    He might have neglected Kaveh for a bit. True. But who could judge him? Do you know how many books he missed on while being the Acting Grand Sage?

    Anyway, from the unprecedented dramatics in this one greeting and first four sentences of a five-page letter, he hopes not all of Sumeru is involved in their lover’s spat.
