Convenient way to draw a crossed diagram?

[Turgon-Aran-Gondolin]

Is there a convenient way to draw the following type of crossed diagrams without involving assigning positions directly to the vertexes as what you have done in your manual? Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately, TikZ-Feynman does not provide any algorithmic way of drawing such cross diagrams automatically as the algorithms will try and avoid producing such crossings as much as possible.

Well, thanks anyway, I think I can stick with \diagram* for now.
