    Summary

    Modern au. Rooommates Oczy (shady part time job worker, aspiring writer) and Badeni (astrophysics PhD) eventually reach the same conclusion, but they show their work a little differently.

    To ‘want’ is greedy. To ‘desire’ is sinful. Putting a name to these feelings roiling in his chest would surely be its own form of sacrilege, against these tenets that have haunted Oczy his entire life. One he will pay for dearly. He knows all too well the punishment for coveting something beyond his means.

    Badeni’s lips turn down, slightly pouted.

    Pretty, pretty.

    Mismatched grey eyes snap up in an instant. “Did you say something?”

    “N-no.” Oczy briefly considers flinging himself from the balcony. “Sorry. Nothing at all.”

    Summary

    Oczy: confesses love accidentally. Panics.
    Badeni: processes feelings through data, astronomy metaphors, and rye bread.

    A romantic confession six centuries in the making—with zero tact, too many feelings, and one napkin that won’t survive the night.

    (Oczy says “I love you.” Badeni says “Hah?” But he’s getting there.)

    Summary

    Oczy and Badeni go on their aquarium date
    Although Oczy would still like everyone to know that this isn't a date, but a casual outing

    Follow that with the usual hijinks from the group of friends

    Note that this is a sequel to The Moments That Make Us Feel Special (one-shot)
    Reading the first part explains the relationships between the characters as well as the universe and headcanons
    This probably won't make much sense as a stand alone either to be completely honest

    Summary

    Professor Badeni is having a terrible month. He has to actually teach classes, he's forced to learn what Genshin Impact is, one of his students has the audacity to use chatGPT, and if that wasn't enough, a very strange man is stalking him.

    Summary

    Badeni had only himself to blame for this predicament. If he’d never flipped open the cover of Oczy’s book, driven by incredulous curiosity, if he’d never skimmed that first page, and then read it again and again, increasingly unbalanced by the spread of sincere words in an awkward hand, he would never have known what was churning away in that inexplicable man’s head. He’d never have known just how much their meeting had meant.
