Ever consider how one thing can change your life in an instant? Ever been faced with the reality that our time isn't infinite? We all have that problem that's a burden on us, a problem if we just faced it our lives would be so much easier, but its a problem that's so hard to tackle, that it's simply easier to push it to the side for now. We go about our lives believing we have plenty of time to fix things and resolve that problem, but deep down we all know that isn't true. That problem is a ticking time bomb where one day it will be too late to fix, yet we are to scared to face that reality so instead everyone goes along with the naive hope that everything will be fine. However one day reality will hit and it will hit hard. You never know when it's going to come knocking; you're never ready for your life to abruptly change but it can happen anytime. For one Diluc Ragnvindr, reality hit him hard! He never expected his life to change that night but when he walked up those tavern stairs, his fate was sealed and the timer had started. tldr: Diluc finds Kaeya poisoned in the tavern and realises he's racing against time t save his brother but also get to reconcile with him.

Xiao has been going through some tough times, until he met his former classmate, Aether. He got comfortable with him pretty quickly, but later on he notices he's been catching strange feelings around him. Will he take his chance, or let it go and forget about them? === [TW]: there will be mentions of the following: fighting, suicide/suicidal thoughts, depression, panick attacks, drinking, threatening, manipulation, angst, mentions of gore, hallucinations, self-loathing, and topics along those lines. It's not too heavy in my opinion, but read at your own risk. There will be no NSFW shown. This is a modern AU about Xiao dealing with his crush and his depression, but other POV's will be shown. I'm not English. I apologize if there's spelling errors or weirdly constructed sentences. I don't own Genshin Impact, nor the characters used in this story.

[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

Years of hard work landed you the crème de la crème lifestyle a doctor within the Walls could ever dream of - a career in Wall Sina. Unfortunately, the snotty ways of the elites left you feeling unfulfilled, prompting you to seek something more meaningful. You signed up as Military Doctor in the Survey Corps, fighting Titans and healing soldiers. Along the way you made new friends, enemies, and caught the the eye of a particular aloof man in the Corps - Captain Levi himself. Assigned as his personal 'sleep therapist' by Erwin, the Captain seems to be quite taken by your intelligence and witty charms. An unexpected relationship and tension grows, and you found yourself falling for him. Over time, you question your identity and wonder, are you a doctor first and a soldier second? Or are you willing to go against your values as a doctor and take lives instead of saving them? How far are you willing to bend your moral compass to do things for the 'greater good'? - Contains mature content, 18+ smut. Canon-compliant but loosely follow plot. Graphic depictions of death, medical scenes. Original story by me (greymaiden) on Archive Of Our Own (AO3) with 65k+ views and top 1-2% on Levi Ackerman x Reader tag.

Kaveh smiled a little at the question, almost letting out a chuckle, "You're being awfully nice." He says as his voice trails off at the last words. "Should I be concerned?" "Shut up Kaveh, I'm just being a good person here. Unless you don't want me to stay here with you and comfort you, I can leave." Alhaitham scoffs and pulls his arm away. Kaveh is quick to pull his arm back and look up at his junior while his chin was resting on his chest, "I don't know what happened to you, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts." He says, smiling as tears continue to stream down his face. - Main plot will be angst. - hurt/comfort - fluff - smut - lime - etc.
