    Summary

    Alhaitham was a good actor. No, that was an understatement: Alhaitham was an impressively skilled actor. He was utterly unfazed throughout the exchange, — even while discussing honeymoon plans — a languid arm thrown around Kaveh’s waist, rubbing absentminded circles onto his skin as if he were perfectly at ease pretending that Kaveh really was his lover, his safe space, his joy and comfort.

    And it was… oddly soothing. A firm, grounding grip on his body, a compliment here and there, a demonstration of care and attention in between comments about Inazuman tourist attractions. It felt natural, even, organic, as if Alhaitham weren’t acting at all. And that was the worst part. The last thing Kaveh needed was to fall in love with his roommate (who he also considered to be his best friend, although he’d never admit that out loud).

    Summary

    In Teyvat, visions are gifts from the gods, forever connecting an individual to the constellations above. As soon as one receives a vision, one’s appearance changes, reflecting that of their constellation in the night sky.

    Kaveh and Alhaitham are students at the Akademiya when Alhaitham returns from an research trip with wings. Years later, Kaveh gains a vision and wings of his own.

    Summary

    In which Alhaitham tries to strike up a friendship with his senior, but, unknowingly:

    “Guess who just asked me out?”

    Kaveh was grinning, or perhaps it should be described as a mischievous smirk colouring his lips, as he flipped his hair over his shoulder and sat next to his friends. “You’ll never guess,” he sang.

    Tighnari raised a brow. “Who?”

    “I don’t know if you know him,” Kaveh continued. “Alhaitham.”

    Cyno’s jaw dropped in utter shock, and Kaveh laughed at his widened eyes. “Exactly.”

    Summary

    Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.

    “Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
    “Newton?”
    “What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
    “Dia-what?”
    “Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
    “...”
    “Next.”

    It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.

    “Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”

    Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

    Summary

    In an act of incredible restraint, Furina manages to wait until an appropriate moment to hop over the railing of the balcony, descending in a flurry of Hydro stepping stones that carry her to the defendant’s area. “Do tell, Mister Maximilien, was it your late mother’s wish for you to accuse your sister of homicide?”

    Or,

    Slices of stories from a universe where Furina was never human.
