Summary
Every child of Sumeru, from Gandharva Ville to Port Ormos, knows that the Dragon nests in the high branches of the Great Tree. The children chant among their skipping games of Rukkadevata, who tamed the great beast before it brought its grief and calamity to wither all the great jungle, of Little Lord Kusanali, daughter of the great goddess, to whom the beast only listens. Their parents gossip about the vast trove of knowledge, hidden in the boughs of the tree, far beyond the reach of any mortal scholar, where only the bravest and wisest may tread and come out alive.
Some old stories tell of scholars sent up in sacrifice to appease the Dragon’s anger, for when he is moved to fury, only the Dendro Archon can calm him, and when he is moved to sorrow, all the rivers flood and the jungle dies for his loneliness.
---
A fairy-tale-esque story about a beauty, a beast, and of course, about love. No roses necessary.

Summary
He’s seen Ifa not even once since the Pyro Archon claimed victory against the Abyss all those weeks ago, their last conversation having transpired on the edge of a battlefield with soot on their faces and a metallic tang heavy in the air.
Ifa had been angry, then. Ororon thinks it was something he had said.
For reasons Ororon can't name, Ifa has been avoiding him since the war ended.

Summary
Kaveh has many tendencies that are just fundamentally different from the way Alhaitham sees things. It's not that Alhaitham doesn't understand, but he simply doesn't agree.
The way he throws his entire heart into the most trivial of things, fully knowing he'll be battered and broken by the time he discovers things weren't as beautiful as he hoped. The way he keeps doing this, despite knowing the risks. The way he won't even consider a single word of advice Alhaitham gives him, just because of its source.
He tries to place himself in the other man's shoes sometimes, but their interpretations of the important things in life are simply so different, all it amounts to are misunderstandings and slammed doors.
Alhaitham is just trying to help. Kaveh might not believe him when he says this, but he doesn't like to see Kaveh suffer.

OR: Kaveh gets his dreams crushed by a rude old man and Alhaitham is just trying to keep him from getting hurt too much.

Summary
“Archons preserve my patience,” Tighnari groans, massaging his temples.
“You split your household chores. You bring him his lunch at the Akademiya daily. Alhaitham looks after you when he thinks you’re sick. You two have weekly dinner dates. Kaveh, you do realize that with the list you’ve given me you’re both just a signed document short of being legally-wedded spouses, right?”
“Perhaps Kaveh’s just ‘twisted up’ after they’ve unknowingly ‘tied the knot’.” Cyno muses thoughtfully.
Silence.
“... Did you get it? Because they’re practically married? And Kaveh’s—”
“Cyno, qamari, I adore you, but finish that statement and you will find yourself exiled from my bed for the next month.”
Cyno wisely snaps his mouth shut.
(Or, after the Interdarshan Championship, Kaveh finds that his living situation with Alhaitham has become… peaceful, more or less?
But why? Nothing’s changed between him and his stoic junior. He simply prepares Alhaitham’s meals, sees him off to the Akademiya, takes care of their home, arranges his schedule so he doesn’t miss their weekly dinners at Lambad’s—
But that’s completely normal roommate behavior.
… Right?)

Veritas Ratio is not a religious man. The only higher being he believes in is his own intellect. Despite all evidence claiming that it’s futile, he still prays that he’ll survive his encounter with a very drunk Aventurine.

Summary
In his early days as a slave, Aventurine was subjected to neuro-reprogramming that, when activated, makes him mindlessly obedient. Thankfully, the program was scrapped, and it’s been over a decade since he’s even seen someone who knows the key phrase – but Aventurine’s luck runs out while he’s crashing Ratio’s vacation.
Naturally, Ratio is not content to let some bottom feeding slaver make off with one of his few friends. Offering further assistance, however, leads to unforeseen consequences - because as Ratio begins researching Aventurine’s condition and searching for a way to free him from it, their feelings for one another begin to change. But Ratio is all too aware of the ethical issues of being involved with a patient, especially one who has given him so much power over their mind . . . and as for Aventurine, Ratio is the one person he can't risk losing.

Help Needed: Decoding the Scripts of Ay-Khanoum Civilization by Ira_Dei
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
31 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
"I’d like to request help from a Haravatat scholar with an expertise in script decoding. I have left Effendi with the test that you require to do. Qualified applicant will be contacted within three working days."
Part of Kaveh's latest endeavour was to complete an academic paper on mechatronics involving the ancient technology from Ay-Khanoum. Unfortunately, he must decode an ancient language to back up his hypothesis. Even more unfortunate, Kaveh knew the best decoder on Sumeru's ancient language is living on the room beside him.
So instead of asking Alhaitham, Kaveh put a help request through Effendi, hoping to find the second-best decoder on Sumeru's ancient language.
(Turns out, the second-best decoder was also a piece of prick to work with.)

Strange Mirrors, Refracted Forms by StarRemnants

Summary
A distant buzzing sound filled Alhaitham's ears, his head ached, and his back felt broken. He fought to open his eyes, and found he was still in the inner chamber.
'How long have I been out?'
He moved to stand, but fell back down. A strange sensation overwhelmed him. His body felt… different. Even his vision in the dim room seemed odd, and he blinked hard, looking down at himself.
Somehow, he was transformed.
~~
After another fight with Kaveh, Alhaitham retreats into the desert to transcribe some ancient texts in the ruins. There he finds disaster beneath his feet, a new body, and (as always happens when it comes to Kaveh) a severe challenge to his own perceptions of the truth.

Summary
“A symposium in Greek[,] literally means a drinking party. But Plato’s Symposium takes the occasion of a drinking party first to praise Love and then to define it. It is a philosophical dialogue[,] in which meaning is created in the exchange of words between the participants.” – Gillooly, Columbia University.

Summary
“Simple set theory,” Alhaitham says, nodding. “Unless (A) equals (B), set (A+B) will always be smaller than sets (A) and (B) separately. I am aware of that, yes.”
Kaveh clicks his tongue. “Well, I hope you are also aware that with all these requirements, you don’t get a set (A+B), or even (A+B+C). Yours is a set comprised of the entire Sumerian alphabet!”
Kaveh has had enough of Alhaitham always loitering around the house. In an attempt to get Alhaitham to go out more often, he jokingly tells him to start dating someone. Much to Kaveh’s shock, Alhaitham agrees—and promptly assigns him as his personal matchmaker. And even though Alhaitham’s requirements for his ideal partner are annoyingly specific, Kaveh refuses to back down from a good challenge. He’s confident in his abilities—that is, until his own feelings start getting in the way...

Summary
In the aftermath of Rukkhadevata's death, calamity befell the Nation of Wisdom at the hands of a false god. In desperation, a contract was forged between Sumeru and Celestia. Every nine years, the finest architect of Kshahrewar is burned with the ancient runes of the divine agreement and sent to continue construction on the Fallen God's labyrinth. In their inevitable death, they hopefully satiate the enraged deity for another nine years until another can be chosen to replace them.
Kaveh is the Light of Kshahrewar after all, so it's no surprise that he awakens one night to a fervent knocking at his door and a letter sealed with the red wax stamp of the Akademiya, demanding his immediate presence as the next Master Architect.

Grandma?’
Alhaitham’s voice breaking the silence, weak and quiet, nearly made Kaveh scream and jump back.
‘It's me.’ He said instead, not sure how he managed to keep his voice calm.
The scribe opened his eyes and Kaveh felt like he’d been punched in the gut- even glassy from the fever, they held so much sadness.
‘Ah... Have you also left then?’
Or what happens when Alhaitham's feverish ramblings bring forth things he and Kaveh should've perhaps talked about years ago.

Summary
After the Interdarshan Championship, Kaveh began to notice little things. Like when Alhaitham would pay off his tab at Lambad's with minimal complaint, or when Alhaitham would leave a plate of snacks out for him after a night of hard work. He had struggled since their fall-out several years ago with thanking Alhaitham for anything, but it wouldn't hurt to start making an effort, right?
The trials and tribulations of Kaveh learning to thank Alhaitham for the little things.
