    Summary

    Teyvat's yearly 'sweetheart day' is coming up, and with it drawing closer, Wriothesley gets more and more excited. This year, he swore to himself, he would have the courage to give Neuvillette a homemade gift.

    Even with his hydro-proof plan, somehow everything falls apart. Like cookies left in the oven for too long, his hope crumbles away into oversweetened dust.

    Will Wriothesley be able to save this situation?

    Summary

    “I’ve never seen you look like this,” Neuvillette continues. His lips are downturned. “You look… nervous. Have I done something to offend you?”

    And that notion is so preposterous that Wriothesley can’t help it—he barks out a startled laugh. This seems to deepen the frown on Neuvillette’s face, so he quickly reigns himself back in, desperately trying to think of something reassuring to say.

    “No, no,” he starts, and like the absolute brainless fool that he is, he blurts out, “you have a new outfit.”

    Oh, fuck.

    Wriothesley sees Neuvillette's new outfit and promptly loses the ability to think.

    Summary

    Zolf was under no illusion that the romance novels he read were in any way true to life. That wasn’t why he read them, after all. In fact, it was pretty much exactly the opposite; they provided a much-needed escape from the real world, to a place where the biggest concern was whether or not two people ended up together (and whether they should, Jennifer). But that didn’t stop them from… having an impact, was perhaps the best way to put it, on what he knew about romance, no matter how aware he was of the lack of realism.
