    Summary

    “Lynette told me you always get nervous before a show,” Aether mentions casually as he steps around him. He traces the edges of Lyney’s mirror with the tips of his gloved fingers and Lyney somehow finds himself transfixed by the simple motion, his mouth dry. Aether looks back at him over his shoulder. "Are you nervous now?”

    Lyney’s chuckle is more of a breathless gasp. “Whatever made you think that? A genius magician such as myself does not get nervous—certainly not before an audience as delightful as you.” 

    Or: Lyney tries his hand at the art of romance but things don't go quite as planned

    Summary

    How long had Aether been investigating and chasing after Phantom Rosseland? Too long to keep track of.

    His targets were always the rich, noblemen and women too corrupt for society to catch and try for their hidden crimes.

    Even then the only things stolen away was art and jewelry.

    Aether wasn't expecting the Phantom Thief's pattern to change.

    Summary

    He closed the book, put it back in place carefully. “Once divinity enters your body, it never really leaves.” He got closer to Sethos, and even though he stepped back to give Hat Guy space, he only kept getting closer. “It takes root inside you, and when it’s gone, the roots stay,” Sethos felt the back of his knees hit his bed, and Hat Guy only stopped then, they'd be face to face if Hat Guy wasn't slightly shorter. He put a hand over Sethos’ chest. “They wrap around your organs, the deepest parts of you, and when divinity is ripped from us, its roots stay lodged inside, like a parasite.”

     

    Us. When divinity is ripped from us.

    Summary

    "I was sort of a God once," the Wanderer said, feeling embarrassed saying it out loud.

    "Sort of?"

    "Well, yeah, I was."

    "I'm sorry, what the fuck?"

    The Wanderer rolled his eyes. "Yeah, this is why I don't go around telling people."

    "No! I mean... That does explain how you always look so divine."

    Summary

    “Will you allow me to ask you something selfish?” he asks quietly. “Don’t marry her.”

    Kaveh sucks in a deep breath. “You don’t understand, Al-Haitham, I—”

    “Marry me instead,” Al-Haitham says.

    In which Al-Haitham is the rich and polished bachelor of the town, Kaveh is an architect down on his luck, and all Al-Haitham wants is to make Kaveh his friend.

    Really.

    Summary

    People keep coming up to Kaveh to congratulate him. Kaveh doesn’t really know why, and he’s a little too scared to ask at this point, so he heads back home, content if not a little bemused.

    He is, unfortunately, reminded of it the very next day, when the door slams open and Al-Haitham stalks in. “Mind telling me why everyone was congratulating me today?” he demands. “About your pregnancy?"

     

    Or: Al-Haitham is, without a doubt, the most annoying person Kaveh knows. Maybe the world’s second-most annoying person can help Kaveh figure him out.

    Summary

    “Kaveh,” he confirms. “He is renowned in his line of work for his skill and passion.”

    Lord Kusanali nods as if he had proved one of her silent queries. “I was hoping he would lend me a hand with this project,”

    “I’m sure he would be honored,” he says earnestly.

    She smiles, cheeks dimpling. “Do you really think so?”

    Alhaitham smiles back, small, easy. “I know him quite well."

    -

    Or, the one where Alhaitham is terribly, terribly in love with Kaveh.

    Summary

    “Coming!” Al-Haitham calls, navigating the maze of packing peanuts and crates. He undoes the latch on the door and lets it swing open, fully expecting to see the bearded face of his landlord only to be met with the vermillion-eyed face of somebody he had given up hope on seeing for the rest of his life.

    There’s a long moment of silence. The aching swell of Vivaldi in the background and the rushing in his ears like the ocean waves.

    “...Kaveh?”

    Kaveh, globally-renowned musician, disappears off the face of Teyvat. Five years later, he shows up outside of Al-Haitham's door with no explanation but to ask for a bed to sleep in.

    It's fine. They only have thirteen years of history, after all.

    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

    Kaveh’s face is bright, young, flushed, freckled, happy. He’s wearing an Akademiya uniform and is as tall as the last time Alhaitham saw him (fifteen minutes ago) which means he’s an inch or two shorter than the last time Alhaitham saw him, because the uniform boots are heeled. He’s staring at Alhaitham with the aforementioned flush spreading like dye over the silk of his cheeks.

    “Kaveh,” Alhaitham says. “Don’t freak out. I believe I’ve been displaced in time.”

    Summary

    Years. It has been years, yet it could’ve been yesterday they were sitting side by side, thigh to thigh, eye to eye, filled with a contentment that their future selves have lost. Maybe it would be enough to have that again. Maybe correctness has no place here—has never been the ultimate goal between them—and Alhaitham finds himself asking a very different question than intended.

    “How would you like to come home?”

    ✥

    Alhaitham loathes interruptions. (All except one).

    Summary

    The truth of the matter is, Kaveh has no idea how to read Alhaitham. He prides himself on being an expert at understanding people, his empathetic heart lending him the capacity to relate deeply with those around him (oftentimes to his detriment). But with Alhaitham, there is nothing for him to read; no clues from his cool expression for him to grasp. The man appears stoic all the time even during their petty bickering.

    Honestly, when was the last time Kaveh has seen the man do anything except smirk or frown? Does Alhaitham feel happiness? Has he ever seen the man laugh?

    Kaveh's mind is drawing a blank on the latter and it...bothers him deeply.

    --
    Kaveh devises a plan to get Alhaitham to smile by being aggressively nice to the man (and also maybe if he makes Alhaitham happy, he can score a discount on his rent or something). Alhaitham thinks Kaveh ate some mind-altering mushrooms and is, understandably, confused and mildly afraid.

    Summary

    San Lang laughs. It’s low and raw and makes something in Xie Lian’s chest dance. Pitter patter, pitter patter, like ballerina toes. “So why are you meeting with Hua Cheng?”

    “To ask him to live with me,” says Xie Lian immediately.

    Xie Lian and Hua Cheng become roommates.

    Summary

    Alhaitham doesn’t know why he can’t shut it out—he’s heard it all before, doesn’t care to indulge. But with Kaveh it’s like the penultimate chapter of a story, the hushed moment before the dramatic curtain opens and the final act is revealed. Simply put, Alhaitham needs more.

    So he blocks out the nose of distraction everywhere else: the Akademiya, the city streets, even his own mind when necessary. But not Kaveh. Never Kaveh.

    ♬

    Kaveh's started singing around the house. Secretly, Alhaitham is listening.

    Kaveh wakes up at six AM to see his one-night stand sitting cross-legged on the floor, neatly folding his shirt and placing it onto a small stack of his clothes.

    Summary

    In thirty minutes, Alhaitham is going to be home, and Kaveh needs to be able to be his most composed self for the inevitable confrontation that will happen the second his roommate is through the door.

    Actually— no, scratch that.

    Why live through the confrontation at all when he could move out right the fuck now? If he starts packing this very second he can at least take a bag for some of his clothes and another for his most important tools. Right? Right.

    Kaveh accidentally ends a phone call with “I love you.” Alhaitham… deals with it.

    “So much for solidarity,” Alhaitham said.

    “You’re not even on your own side, you harpy,” Kaveh grumbled in reply.

    ~~~

    Alhaitham unexpectedly wakes up with wings, and must learn to come to terms with absurdity.

    Summary

    “Within reason,” Chief Justice Neuvillette adds, giving Wriothesley another amused smile.

    Wriothesley shifts his weight between his feet, feeling heat pool in his stomach.

    “If you need anything, Your Grace, don’t hesitate to write,” Neuvillette says, his voice quiet but firm. "I may not always respond immediately, but rest assured I will see your requests.”

    As the newly-appointed Administrator of the Fortress of Meropide, Duke Wriothesley finds himself drawn to Fontaine's Chief Justice. The two begin to exchange letters. At first, the letters are only business-related before gradually turning into something more. Strangers to friends to lovers. Now with bonus Neuvillette POV epilogues. Complete.
