Summary
“Truly, it’s beautiful.”
“What," Boothill laughs, "my bloodlust?”
Argenti shakes his head. “Your dedication to justice.” He reaches out to take Boothill’s hand. “You have a beautiful spirit, my friend. You awe me with every encounter.”

That knight, that fudging Knight of Beauty… he won’t stop calling Boothill beautiful.Bookmarked by straycrows

Summary
Immortal and monstrous he may be, Dainsleif is only human. He has never once been immune to all that she does, all that she is. To the blasphemous and grotesque, the perverse poetry that writs itself upon his flesh, awakening that baser part of him which somehow still remembers want.
Or,
Defeat, excavation, and consumption, in lieu of a civil conversation like the starved freaks they are

Summary
"Do you want to write a thesis with me?"
It should have been a relatively normal question between scholars, but it made Kaveh's heart speed up its erratic beating. The last time they'd tried writing something together, everything had cracked open and engulfed him in a spiral of insecurities and suffering.
And yet… they'd come a long way, hadn't they? They'd grown an entire fucking tree of wisdom together — with no serious squabbles this time around — and had come out walking side-by-side. Perhaps they could, yes, seek knowledge and craft something together this time.
"Yes," he answered. "I do."
Alhaitham and Kaveh and two research papers they collaborated on, ten years apart.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he says. “You’re the one who left.” It comes out bitter, like wine aged into vinegar.
She sighs, slips her calloused fingers between his. “I know,” she says. “I miss you anyway.”
Night after night, he dreams of a woman in a field of flowers.

Summary
There’s no finesse in it. Illuga is out of patience, and the wet drag of Flins’s tongue is only adding fuel to the fire. He presses his hands to Flins’s ribs, skin so cold it’s burning, as if he could dig his way into his heart. Illuga keeps him there, muscles flexing when Flins tries to wiggle away. His hands come to blanket Illuga’s own. At last, a furrow appears between his brows.
“You don’t know what’s good for you,” Illuga spits out with the pieces of his aching heart.
Maybe Flins will grasp onto one of them to keep.
For once, Flins is the one who got hurt in the line of duty. Not too happy about it, there's only one thing Illuga can do.
(Fuck him.)Bookmarked by straycrows

Summary
Illuga is choking on his love for Flins. Literally. As the unshakable Captain, he’s mastered the art of carrying burdens. And yet the Hanahaki flowers rooted in his lungs are a weight he can’t share. To confess would shatter the bond that is his anchor. To stay silent is a death sentence. But when the petals turn to thorned vines, he must choose: Risk the bond they share or Let the unspoken love he nurtured become his hope

Summary
Illuga is pushing himself to the breaking point. A silent desperate performance for the people who need their unshakable captain. Flins, his partner in everything sees through the act to the exhaustion beneath.
When a "low-risk" patrol in the snows of Nod-Krai goes awry, Flins must confront a truth that has haunted his long life. A story about the fear of being known, the cost of a heroic façade and the absolute love that refuses to let it crumble.
(A light refuses to go out and another refuses to stop searching.)
For those who have already read this fic, I have added a special Chapter 2. A prequel showing the night the promise was made and how they got together ❤️

Summary
Blade's hands dance along his spine, and Dan Heng has to fight the urge to shiver. They've been sharing a bed since Planarcadia, even before Blade boarded the Express, and Dan Heng still isn't used to him. He doesn't know if he ever will be.
Still, Dan Heng keeps his cool facade, moving his hands to rest on Blade's thighs before leaning in to whisper in his ear. "If I do this, you have to hold me, you have to be patient, or I won't do anything with you at all."
Blade's smirk grows wider, Dan Heng doesn't know why, Blade has never been a patient person especially regarding Dan Heng. "I can certainly do that," Blade replies in a low voice that tells Dan Heng he very much can't do that.
/Or: After Planarcadia, Dan Heng stays with Blade on the Astral Express, and they enjoy the time alone together.

Summary
It was all coming back to him now, though the details of his fall were still blurry and scattered. The tree had been growing on the edge of the cliff above Wyrmrest Valley, so he must have tumbled halfway down the mountain. If he’d hit his head, it made sense that his short term memory might be affected.
More pressing than that, however, was his current situation. Albedo could see shards of icy blue sky though the dark fingers of bare tree branches, which implied that he had survived the fall and was laying somewhere at the bottom of the mountain. However, he couldn’t feel his body at all, and attempting to move in order to get a better look at himself only resulted in an odd, empty sensation, like tugging on a loose rope. Left without another option, he continued to stare at the fragmented sky.
—
Albedo's body shatters into chalk after an unfortunate accident. Left alone at the bottom of Dragonspine, he struggles to piece himself back together.

Summary
“I thought you weren’t at all upset about any of this?”
“I’m not,” Al-Haitham insists. Stubborn.
“Well, what happened then? Surely something’s bothering you, or else you wouldn’t be moving your things back and forth in the same spot like that.”
Al-Haitham’s eyes drop to his hands, between them a box filled with little trinkets—souvenirs from his trips to the desert, no doubt, gleaming gem stones and jagged blocks of stone, the old runes on them barely legible from erosion. Al-Haitham sighs.
“Nothing happened,” he begins, slow and measured, “I’m just looking for something.”
The morning after their return to Sumeru City, Al-Haitham’s cover of nonchalance is blown for good.

Summary
“Alhaitham,” Kaveh drawls quietly, the alcohol hitting his system. “Why don’t you touch me?”
Alhaitham blinks. He wasn’t expected to be asked about this, of all things. This goes against everything he had gathered from his observations of Kaveh’s behavior.
“Because… you don’t like being touched?” Alhaitham supplies.
“But I do,” Kaveh whines. “And you never touch me.”
Or, Kaveh keeps reacting strangely when Alhaitham touches him. In observing why exactly Kaveh's behaving like this, Alhaitham realizes that what Kaveh desires aligns awfully close to his own.
