    Summary

    Hey, I heard you were looking for a place to stay. My roommate also moved out recently so I have a room open.

     

    “You’re shitting me,” said Kaveh.

    “What?” Cyno tilted his head.

    Kaveh held out his phone. Cyno and Tighnari leaned over until the sides of their heads were touching as they read the message.

    Tighnari jerked away. “Al-Haitham sent you that?”

    “I didn’t know he had it in him,” said Cyno.

    “Had what?”

    “A charitable soul.”

    Kaveh needs a place to stay senior year of college and Al-Haitham has an open spot.

    Summary

    People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.

    There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.

    Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

    Summary

    This is how Kaveh grows up—well-loved and loving, with a pencil in his hand and starlight in his eyes. This is how he grows up, until his father leaves for the desert one day, and never comes back.

    kaveh, through the years.

    Summary

    “Prove it.”

    Kaveh paused. Slowly, he turned around. “What?”

    “Prove that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh tilted his head. “And how do you suggest I do that?”

    “Date me,” said Al-Haitham. “Prove to me that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh keeps getting broken up with and is on the verge of giving up on love when Al-Haitham propositions him.

    Summary

    After a rough start, Alhaitham and Kaveh have figured out how to navigate the latter’s unexpected rut—Alhaitham has successfully tricked his instincts into submission, and for the past several days, Kaveh’s instincts have been perfectly satisfied. Now his rut is almost over, and the remainder will be the easiest part.

    Or, at least, it would have been easy, if Alhaitham’s body hadn’t suddenly decided to make things difficult.

    “Don’t move,” Alhaitham growls, his grip on Kaveh’s wrists tightening. He needs to stop Kaveh, needs to—

    A quiet Haitham breaks through the buzzing in his head, and he blinks, staring down at Kaveh.

    Kaveh’s eyes are wide, chest rising and falling as he pants for air, and the sweet scent of his arousal is gone, replaced by something bitter and acrid.

    Alhaitham licks dry lips and searches Kaveh’s face for an answer, unable to find one on his own.

    “You’re in rut,” Kaveh breathes.

    Summary

    When Kaveh approached Alhaitham asking him to try something, Alhaitham only chose to turn his hearing aids on last minute and missed most of what Kaveh had said. Still, he stupidly agreed to whatever it was just so that Kaveh would leave him to his book.

    But then a shift in the way Kaveh acts happened, and now Alhaitham realized that he was not only stupid for agreeing to something without knowing what it is, but that he might have actually messed up, too.

    And he's very oblivious.

    Summary

    Kaveh has a secret admirer who keeps sending him gifts and sweet notes. He has no idea who it might be, so when he discusses the matter with his friends, he realizes that the most likely suspect is Alhaitham...

    Summary

    "You don't look well."

    "I don't feel well," Alhaitham says. "So I would appreciate it if you got to the point."

    Cyno sighs. "There has been an... incident with the Kshahrewar expedition," he says. "Someone reconnected the nearby Ruin Golem's power systems, and its weapon systems reactivated."

    "Kaveh," Alhaitham murmurs, a little too dizzy to keep himself from verbalizing that first thought.

    Cyno grimaces. "He helped several students escape the area, but he didn't leave himself."

    Alhaitham's head throbs. He rubs at his sinuses. "Of course he didn't," he says. It's Kaveh. "He went into the Golem, didn't he?"

    Cyno sighs. "The students said that he did, in fact, go into the Golem."

    Alhaitham has the flu. Unfortunately, Kaveh has need of Alhaitham.

    Summary

    It takes Alhaitham eighteen years to find Kaveh again.

    It takes nearly another twelve to hold him once more.

    Or, Alhaitham is reincarnated as a Knight in Kaveh's kingdom. Alhaitham remembers. Kaveh doesn't. Things go about as well as you could expect.

    Summary

    Al-Haitham hums, sitting back in his seat. His eyes get that look they always do when he's thinking– at least that had stayed the same– before he put his hands in his pockets.

    “You can stay with me, if you'd like,” he says all too casually as he pulls a hand back out his pocket. “For the time being,” he adds on a little too quickly, “until you manage to get yourself out of the mess you’ve made.”

    Kaveh was about to open his mouth to protest. Like he'd ever take an offer from him, especially with that attitude.

    But then Al-Haitham slides a key across the table to him–golden, with emerald embellishments, a carbon copy of the soulmark on Kaveh's arm– and the words on his lips dissipate into the warm tavern air.

    Summary

    “Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”

    A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”

    Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.

    What did he want?

    “Have you?” asked Kaveh.

    “Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.

    Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”

    Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.

    Summary

    Standing atop a sandy dune, the blazing sun beating down atop his head, Alhaitham watched as his lover, the blonde architect, Kaveh, ventured on into the vast tundra that was the Great Sumeru Desert―a familiar knot of anxiety writhing in the pit of his stomach...

    Now that their complicated relationship had stabilized into romantic amicability, as far as he was concerned, he'd be perfectly happy to enjoy the mundanity of his daily life free, not only from political conflict, but the excessive work hours that came with the position of Acting Grand Sage as well.

    However, as the issue of illegal Canned Knowledge grows more prevalent each day, and Sumeru once again teeters on the edge of crisis, Alhaitham finds his peaceful home life disrupted as he's dragged, somewhat reluctantly, into the brewing conflict.

    And much to his displeasure, Kaveh along with him...

    Alhaitham and Kaveh are blissfully married (most of the time) with a child. Except their child is a carbon copy of Alhaitham and it is driving Kaveh insane having to deal with two Alhaithams. Chapter 2 will be smut :)

    Summary

    It had been a little less than a year since everything turned to shit. Alhaitham would have just finished his senior year, and Kaveh would more than likely have found a job in architecture by now. Or maybe he would still be working at the cafe across town while he continued job-hunting, but Alhaitham doubted it. Kaveh was too talented to have not found a job two years post-grad. Alhaitham would probably be living alone if the prior was the case..but there was no point in thinking about that now. For better or for worse, they were stuck together. A silver lining at the end of the world.
    He snuck a glance at Kaveh, a few steps ahead of him, halo of gold around his head. A few stray strands danced in the breeze, illuminated by the sun.
    A golden lining, he thought fondly.

    At the end of the world, it's only natural for the things you love to bear clawmarks.

    Summary

    “You're mentioned in the ‘Funding’ segment.”

    “For citation?”

    “For in-person guidance and aid.”

    Kaveh snorts. “I haven't agreed to any aid this year; I'm not teaching.”

    “No, but Payam seems quite sure you'd enjoy his thesis topic and humbly requests your expertise in the situation.” A divot appears in between Kaveh's eyebrows as he purses his lips.

     

    An odd research submission begins paving the way to a dangerous inclination bordering on obsession. In a wholly illogical sense, the lingering obsession focuses on his roommate.

    A visceral string of events begins, with a temple devoted to the deceased Goddess of Flowers being the epicenter.

    Summary

    "Let me get this straight. You want Kaveh, a man known for being about as subtle as a stampede of sumpter beasts -"

    "Hey! Come on! I'm right here, you know!"

    "--to act as your spy? For the good of the nation?" Alhaitham snorted. "Kaveh can't even remember his keys, Cyno. And you're expecting him to engage in advanced statecraft?"

    "Ok, rude."

    When a certain ginger-haired Snezhnayan buys a slice of barren desert property in Sumeru, it's up to Kaveh to figure out whether this strange foreigner is actually the Eleventh Fatui Harbinger, and more importantly, what he's plotting out there in the middle of no man's land. Kaveh can do this. Probably.

    But it would sure be a lot easier if Alhaitham hadn't invited himself along as the world's most distracting fake husband.
