Summary
When a hand curls over the pages, blocking the words from sight, and rips the book from his grasp, Alhaitham has more than a few harsh words at the ready on the tip of his tongue.
They’re forgotten, however, when he reads Kaveh’s words.
“You can’t hear me, can’t you?”
_
Or, snippets from the life of Alhaitham, whose world went silent the day his parents died.

Summary
“You have a pretty clear direction for yourself.”
Alhaitham nodded in agreement, pondering the words even after they left. He lingered by the door, watching until he couldn’t see them anymore. Stepping back inside, he allowed the comfort of his home to envelop him, the dusty books, the crooked paintings, and the incessant muttering of his roommate.
He did have a clear direction. He wanted to keep this peace constant for as long as he could.
OR
Alhaitham wants nothing more than to lead a peaceful life, like his grandmother wished. When he discovers an injury after dealing with Siraj, Alhaitham decides he won't let such a petty thing disturb the peace. Kaveh doesn't take that very well.

Summary
Alhaitham really does not want to be the Grand Sage. The inherent demands aren't his cup of tea, and are beginning to wear on him. His resilience is wearing thin when Kaveh pushes him to his limit. Luckily, Cyno's there to provide an anchor in the storm.
By request (Alhaitham + sensory overload)

The cost of fame (and friendship) by Irisinally

Summary
Mualani had heard about the (in)famous hunter from the Scions of the Canopy tribe, but she knew better than to trust those kinds of rumors before she could see him for herself. After getting to know him, she couldn’t agree more with that idea. Rumors could be nasty sometimes…
And other times, they were… really funny.
(Mualani, Kachina, Kinich (and Ajaw)’s relationship with rumors.)

Summary
“You,” Cyno growls, “are quite annoying.”
The researcher makes a strangled, panicked sound, fingers scrabbling uselessly at the Matra’s grip. His eyes dart to the blood dripping down Cyno’s arm, and then something off to the side. His face splits into a triumphant smile.
It takes Cyno a second too long to realize why.

Summary
He... Wasn't sure on how he arrived on the idea, exactly. Or even if he wanted to go through with it. It was simply that he mentioned something from his childhood when talking with the Virtual Singers about facing his past now, then someone asked him some questions, then some more - one thing led to another, and in the end, Touya offered to play.
For the first time in three years, Touya picked up his violin.

“You’re not going to comment on anything we just saw?”
Diluc was hunched over the tavern counter, his back still to him. “What is there to comment,” his voice was so quiet.
“If you hate my existence that much, why don’t you kick me out whenever I go into the tavern?”
Diluc whirled around. “Hate you?”

The Complexity of Colors by Innominatam_adiuvo

Summary
Surrounded by broken glass, he lay there defeated with the bitter taste of iron in his mouth. He groaned in pain; some of the glass must have gone through his coat and pierced his back. He pressed his eyes shut.
“Diluc?”
Diluc stiffened. He opened his eyes and was greeted by the one person in the whole city whom he had wanted to see the least.
This day was going great.
He should’ve just listened to Adelinde and slept for once. He winced when he attempted to get up. Kaeya didn't move an inch to help him up from his miserable position on the floor. Diluc crawled to his feet, taking an unreasonable amount of time for an adult to get up. When he finally stood, he stumbled towards the shattered window.
“That’s it? You destroy my living room and leave without even saying a word?” Kaeya said, putting his hands on his hips accusingly.Or
This story is about the underlying meaning of colors and the emotions they symbolize. Each chapter represents a period in the brothers' lives with a specific color, reflecting the theme of that time.

Summary
“You must be confident that you’ll win,” he notes, his eyes tracking the rhythmic motion of Dazai’s finger as it rolls a green konpeitou back and forth.
“Of course. I’ve got an angel of victory on my side, after all.” Dazai picks up the tiny candy and pops it into his mouth, his visible eye glinting with amusement. “So you can forget about making me talk.”
In the aftermath of an enemy attack, Dazai invites Oda to play a game with him, and certain things are revealed along the way.
(A poker match, a conversation, and the truth about a painting.)
