    Summary

    Kaveh promises himself that he will not ruin the relationship that he and Alhaitham have finally rebuilt—so he settles on keeping his hidden feelings to himself.

    Not until, a sudden change disrupts their usual routine.

    It was the third time that week that Alhaitham had come home with a bouquet of flowers in his hands with a small smile on his face.

    Kaveh quickly finds out that this anomaly might not only cause a ripple in their relationship, but also triggers a deep-seated fear within him.

    Or Alhaitham starts bringing home flowers.

    And Kaveh starts to feel an intense, gnawing ache in his chest, called none other than jealousy.

    Summary

    Her Majesty Furina, ruler of Fontaine, is capable of many things, up to and including marrying a dragon for the sake and safety of her people. Why, she could even describe the whole ordeal as entertaining, if only the gaze of the dragon turned man she was supposed to marry didn’t terrify her so much.

    surface disturbance: it starts raining in Fontaine, we get a glimpse into the daily life of our characters before Wriothesley goes and does something dumb (one shot).

    eddies of diplomacy: politics focused, friendship centric, tense tale of a queen trying to propose to a dragon man that has no idea what marriage is (completed).

    turbulent flow: family is the most important thing for Furina, too bad hers is dead or gone, this is certainly the sort of vibe you want to bring to a wedding (ongoing).

    whitewater: there is a dragon prowling the corridors of Palais Mermonia quite angrily because he’s encountered a bit of a rough patch in his marriage (upcoming.)

    Summary

    Aventurine looks away again, turning his head over his shoulder to try and breathe without having to meet Veritas' eyes to do it. He knows it's normal. Of course it's normal. He's heard all those ridiculous, cliched nicknames thrown around all his life. The "Darling"s, the "Love"s, the "Honey"s, everything. He's been called them himself, even, but never like this. Hearing "darling" pass so effortlessly from Veritas' lips, like it was no more special than the latte -- or, really, the coffee with warm milk -- that he had passed to him. It wasn't like the "sweetheart"s that have been tossed at him casually by overly-chummy clients or... the "precious"es that still come to haunt his dreams at times. This feels warmer. Realer. It's almost too much all at once and it's only two blasted words.

    Veritas tries bringing pet names into his relationship with Aventurine. It goes about as well as one could expect.
