Spock's blue orbs grew wide. "Oar naur. It can't be," he gasped tremulously.

Summary
“Don’t you know why?”
A brown man rejects an English rose. Robin watches, wonders, asks why; Ramy knows that Robin has an answer.
***
Set during the ball, ft. some Chinese phrases that came to mind, and a generous amount of unresolved tension (turned into somewhat resolved tension.) Slight canon divergence, because that one scene deserved so much more than getting interrupted by everything else in the world.

Summary
“Why do you always call me Birdie, anyway?” Robin asks him, not that he’s complaining—he doesn’t think he’d complain about anything Ramy does, ever. The nickname had just been too sudden for him to understand.
Ramy blinks, as if he doesn’t know why him conjuring a nickname for someone he just knew for a day to be weird at all, “Well, robin birds symbolize a new life, aren’t they? I want to commemorate your new life here, that’s all.”

Summary
It's spring in Oxford, Robin is sad as per, but guess who could make him feel better...? Ramy, that's who, because they're perfect together, okay???! They're in a secret garden, by the river, and they're ALONE, and the air continues to hold an electrical charge like the moments before a storm, or something along those lines (cba checking the book, but if you're here, then you know what I'm talking about, am I right??).

Ав! по Вавилону, де весь видимий світ це Теплиця — повне зелені місце, жителі якого діляться на дві категорії: квіти — люди, у яких із шкіри ростуть, власне, квіти, і птахи — люди з пташиними рисами, такими як клюв, спів та крила.
Летті не розуміє, чому птахам так не сидиться на землі, залитій сонцем.

Summary
If he had known– if only he had taken a few minutes to sit, to really think, about something more than translations and the Hermes Society and Professor Lovell – then maybe, truly, he might’ve seen the ways Ramy looked at him. He remembered a time where the tapestry of his life was not unbound or frayed at the edges, but intact, whole, threaded with the love he felt for Mrs. Piper’s chicken and leek pies, sun-filled days on an Oxford green, and his Babel cohort. It was a time that felt so recent, he almost felt the warmth of such an embrace around him, what he once thought as an impenetrable blanket, until, suddenly, it was ripped from him.
