    Summary

    Trapped in your family's poverty, you were forced into a suffocating marriage with the overzealous Grand Master from Mondstatdt. Fleeing your wedding rehearsal in panic, you made a bitter, mock vow in a desolate cemetery.

    And the silence answered your quiet lament.

     
    Inspired by Tim Burton's "Corpse Bride" and The Unequal Marriage, 1862. Vasili Pukirev.

    Summary

    You were sent to the Shadow Realm for reasons Queen Marika wouldn’t disclose. Stripped of Grace, you make a deal with Messmer the Impaler that in order to delay your death by his flames, you will find a way to lessen the burden of his ‘curse’ and help the suffering shamans. Along the way you two will find friendship in each other, and eventually have an unbreakable bond between a son of a god and a Tarnished stripped of light. But Messmer will never let it become something more, because it will mean to abandon his duty.

    And to abandon his duty will mean abandoning his mother.

     

    “Then, if Your Grace allows it, I can help you lessen the burden. In exchange, if you ever find the need to perish me by your flames…please grant me a whole day to outrun you.”

    Summary

    “Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”

    A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”

    Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.

    What did he want?

    “Have you?” asked Kaveh.

    “Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.

    Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”

    Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.

    Summary

    When his next heat is due, Ratio thinks of…
    It’s a little humiliating, if he’s being honest. Aventurine is not particularly attractive by most standards, and Ratio has plenty of other suitors who would be more agreeable with him. Simps.
    Unfortunately, for some inane reason, the damn gambler is the one Ratio is thinking of. He resolves to book himself a psychiatric evaluation after his heat.
