    Summary

    “Please don’t swear in front of the girls,” Zhongli said, somewhat despairingly, thinking more of his girls, rather than Guizhong’s older classes.

    “The girls are balancing their entire body weight on their toes,” Guizhong replied, rolling her eyes at him with such flourish that it caused the entire studio to erupt in barely contained giggling. “They know damn well the value of a good, cathartic swear.”


    Retired world-class ballet star Zhongli is living a comfortable, quiet life, focused mostly on looking after his students, watching the perpetual chaos machine that is his wife's polycule, and pretending very convincingly that he is not bone achingly lonely sometimes.

    Enter Childe, the older brother turned parent of one of his favorite students, and the single most fascinating creature Zhongli has ever laid eyes upon.

    It goes from there.

    Summary

    When Kaveh discovers that Alhaitham has been reading a book about human sexuality and kinks, he generously offers to assist Alhaitham with some sexual exploration. It’s a risky proposal, and one that could end very badly—thanks to their falling-out years ago, the two of them have trust issues galore.

    But it turns out that Kaveh and Alhaitham are surprisingly good at trust and communication when it comes to sex…which raises some questions about the nature of their relationship, and where exactly this whole experiment is leading them.

    “Look,” Kaveh says, “if you’re going to approach sexual pleasure like an experiment, most potential partners won’t take too kindly to the idea of you having sex with them for science. Therefore, to spare all the poor people you’d inevitably insult in your quest for data, I am willing to be that person.”

    “How charitable of you,” Alhaitham says.

    “And I assume that you’re somewhat comfortable with the idea of having sex with me,” Kaveh adds, “or else you wouldn’t have been so willing to have my fingers in your mouth just now.”

    Summary

    If Alhaitham hadn’t taken both keys with him, he wouldn’t be in this goddamn mess. He’d be at home, sipping tea over a nice book – that is, not trapped in the body of a damn cat out of all things, miserable and stuck out in the rain.

    Surely his day could not get any worse than this, is what he thinks, right before he runs head first into said roommate.


    In which Kaveh turns into a cat, and Alhaitham unwittingly adopts him.

    Summary

    This is the night; he can feel it. This is the night that Yeonjun finally catches the attention of Steak Guy.

    “I really don’t wanna tell you this, but I don’t think it’s happening,” Kai says, smudging eyeliner into his lashes. “I think he’s straight. There’s just no way that any dude interested in other dudes is coming to a strip club and not looking at any of the dancers.”
    “Straight!?” Yeonjun exclaims, offended. “You think a straight guy is coming to a gay club?”
    “It’s not impossible,” Kai replies, putting on a sequined jacket over his tank top. “I mean, he comes here to eat his steak and leave.”
    “It’s just annoying,” Yeonjun says. “I mean, he doesn’t even spare us a glance. I’m putting my whole pussy into this.”
    “Honestly, it’s just not that serious,” Kai replies. He then starts wiggling his eyebrows in the way that Yeonjun knows means he’s about to make a terrible joke. “Maybe he just really likes a strip steak.”

    Summary

    “You’re Beomgyu, right? It's really you? I– I don't think you remember me but–”

    Thoughts flying rapidly in Beomgyu's small little brain, he can only focus on two alarming facts: One, Kai is standing before him, and two, his idol knows his name.

    “I just went to your concert?!” Beomgyu shrieks.

    Kai laughs again and god he's beautiful. “I meant, you might not remember me from before all this. We were friends. Well, somewhat.”

    -

    Getting exclusive barricade tickets for the concert of his favorite singer is too good to be true, but having that singer chase after him and tell him that they used to be friends in school has to be a hallucination from some sort of parasocial disease.

    Plot twist, it's no parasocial disease.
