Summary
Seishiro supposes he's never believed in fate, never believed in the idea of a predetermined future. He's never subscribed to the idea that things happen for a reason, but he supposes that might be in part because nothing ever really happened in his life to begin with. At least, not until recently.
Now, though, he looks at Reo, and he wonders.
After spending his whole life letting everything pass him by, Nagi realizes he's found the first thing he wants to hold onto.

Summary
"What's that look for? You wanted me to feed you, didn't you?"
Nagi pouts, and Reo has to tear his gaze away from Nagi's mouth as he parts his lips to take a small bite out of the Pocky despite his petulance. "Not like that," Nagi mumbles, and is it a trick of the light or do Nagi's cheeks look just a little bit redder?
Ah. Reo tamps down a smile as he figures out exactly what Nagi's playing at. How cute. Maybe he'll tease him a bit more before giving him what he wants; Nagi's not the only one who knows how to play coy, after all.
"No?" Reo continues to hold the stick close to Nagi's mouth. "Then how else am I supposed to feed this to you?"

Summary
There’s a nudge against his arm.
At first, Scaramouche wonders if he’s imagining it. Hopes, even. But then it happens again. And again. And—oh, for fuck’s sake, how much more infuriating can this guy get? He caves, just a little bit, and “accidentally” elbows Childe back a little too hard, because he deserves it. He relishes in the little pang of satisfaction he gets at the pained noise Childe lets out, then turns his attention to the little slip of paper sitting conspicuously atop his empty notebook.
hey gorgeous ;) I lost my number, can I get yours?
Childe has terrible pickup lines. Scaramouche has terrible taste in men.

Summary
Beneath the veil of the night, with the moonlight peeking in through the curtain as his sole witness, Scaramouche rests his head atop Tartaglia’s chest and listens to the beat of his heart.
A quiet room, a steady heartbeat, and the feelings Scaramouche thought he'd left behind long ago.

Summary
The sound of a voice calling out has Chongyun stumbling to a stop, barely managing to keep himself from slipping in the mud. He scans the area frantically but spots no signs of demonic activity. Instead, he finds himself face-to-face with another boy.
“It must be my lucky day,” the stranger says cheerfully as though he hadn’t nearly become intimately acquainted with the tip of Chongyun’s greatsword seconds earlier. “I thought I heard someone approaching, but it was hard to tell over the rain, and even then, it could’ve been a monster running over to attack me!”
Right, it wasn’t a monster running over to attack him, it was Chongyun running over to attack him.
On a search for an evil spirit, Chongyun encounters something else entirely.

Summary
“So,” Xiao starts, pushing himself off the rock he’d been lying on and taking slow, deliberate steps to where Bosacius is standing. “Mind telling me what exactly was ‘your idea’?”
Bosacius takes a cautious step back, holding two hands up in a placating gesture, and that’s when Xiao catches sight of the calligraphy brush he’s holding in one of them, still dripping with ink. A quick glance down at the ground reveals a matching brush that Bosacius had most likely dropped a moment ago.
“Oh dear,” he hears Menogias mutter under his breath.
Bosacius paints on Xiao's face. Xiao decides some payback is in order.

Summary
“Chongyun,” Xingqiu starts nervously, suddenly very aware of all the people around them who are probably watching this entire spectacle unfold, “what are you—”
“Xingqiu,” Chongyun cuts him off, looking almost awed, “you have really pretty eyes.”
Any coherent thoughts Xingqiu might have had left have now flown right out of his head. He’s not sure if they’re ever going to come back. The only sound he manages to produce is an embarrassingly strangled “What?”
“Your eyes are really pretty,” he repeats, “just like the rest of you.”
Xingqiu underestimates just how unpredictable Chongyun can be when he overheats. What was supposed to be a harmless prank leaves him questioning their relationship, and the way he views his best friend.
Or: Xingqiu gets what's coming to him.

Summary
Let it be known that Reki has never been known for his impulse control, which has landed him in quite a few awkward situations in the past. Langa’s not much better, and it doesn’t help that he also tends to enable Reki’s impulsive decisions instead of talking him out of doing something stupid.
Case in point: standing outside of the café with an armful of cat, Reki realizes that they might not have thought this whole thing through very well.
Or: Reki and Langa adopt a cat.
No, it’s not Miya, but it’s pretty close.

the cat-astrophic consequences of having too much free time by babybluebells

Summary
Miya opens up his phone camera and snaps a photo of Hime, the picture of innocence if not for the scratched-up couch cushions right next to her, and posts it with the following caption:
my perfect sweet little angel except for when she’s scratching up the cushions despite having a perfectly good scratching post RIGHT. THERE. 100/10 because i love her but she is on Thin Fucking Ice
Once the tweet is sent, he switches back to his main account and puts it out of his mind.
After all, it’s not like people are actually going to find this account.
Miya acquires a new hobby.

Summary
He takes a confident step onto the ice, and some of the tension seeps out of Reki’s shoulders. Langa makes it about half a step further before his blade gets caught in the ice and he lands on his face.
“You said you’d done this before!” Reki exclaims, torn between amusement and abject horror.
“I never said I was good at it,” Langa retorts, still lying face down.
Miya’s recipe for a day at the ice rink: 5 friends (ability to skate optional), a healthy dose of public embarrassment, several faceplants, and a pinch of emotional turmoil for flavour. Mix well and serve chilled. Pairs nicely with a disgustingly hot summer day.

Summary
He smirks, appreciating the way Chongyun seems to fluster at their proximity. “My my, are you trying to win my affections through free beverages?”
Chongyun sputters, his blush somehow even more angry. “What? What are you talking— of course not, don’t be ridiculous!”
“Sure, sure,” Xingqiu replies breezily, smirk widening as he closes in for the kill. “A word of advice, though. It’s going to take a little more than a free cup of tea to sweep me off my feet. I expect you to court me properly, darling.”
Chongyun bats weakly at Xingqiu’s shoulder in an attempt to put some space between them. “You’re terrible. See if I ever give you a free drink again.”
Xingqiu just smiles.
In which Xingqiu is a library worker and Chongyun is the cute new barista who keeps giving him free drinks, for some reason.

Summary
It truly feels as though this season was made for him. Framed by the snowflakes dancing in the wind, this boy is a picture-perfect portrait of winter.
Xingqiu doesn’t think he could tear his gaze away from this scene even if he wanted to. Winter has never been his favourite season, but he’s beginning to think he might just have to retract that sentiment, because he’s not sure he’s ever seen anything quite as beautiful as this.
Amidst the falling snow, Xingqiu encounters a boy who embodies the beauty of winter.

Summary
He remembered the first time he sat down in front of the piano, his father’s hands guiding his fingers to the keys. He remembered the moment he pressed down, the way drops of colour began to spring forth with each note he played. It was then that he realized he, too, could make those colours appear with his own two hands, just like his parents did. There was a whole new realm of possibilities at his fingertips; he had a whole array of colours at his disposal to paint the most wonderful pictures using his music, to share that joy with everyone else.
And then his father passed away, and everything fell apart.
When Langa loses his father, he loses his love for music, too. A chance encounter with a strange guitarist, however, ignites a spark that he'd thought had long gone out.

Summary
Miya tries to put on a brave face, to act like nothing can break him. He doesn’t want to rely on others, doesn’t want to need them. He’s sculpted a mask of ice, a cool and calculated facade that he wears like armour, desperately trying to convince others, to convince himself that it’s real.
But Langa knows better. Langa knows that, deep down, Miya’s scared.
Langa realizes that he and Miya may have more in common than he originally thought.

Summary
It isn’t too much of a surprise when Langa wakes up to an empty bed. He vaguely remembers stirring earlier, remembers gentle fingers running through his hair, lulling him back to sleep.
What does come as a surprise, though, is the smell permeating through the air into their room. Langa’s not sure if he’s just delirious and still half-asleep, but it kind of smells like something’s—
Oh shit.
Kyan Reki, Certified Kitchen Disaster, tries to cook breakfast for his boyfriend. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Summary
Everything seemed to look a little more beautiful somehow, and he began snapping photos of whatever caught his eye: a particularly gorgeous sunset, the hibiscus flowers in full bloom just outside his home, and, more recently (and most frequently), his extremely pretty, extremely photogenic boyfriend.
Before he knew it, he had a collection of all these little moments, the world through his eyes captured on his crappy phone camera.
As graduation approaches, Reki finds a new way to appreciate the world around him.

Langa is pushing ahead, leaving Reki behind to wonder where it all went wrong.
