    Summary

    If there’s one word Kaveh could use to describe his life, it would be “ordinary”. Sure, the start of his life looks more like a sad drama movie with the death of his father, being abandoned by his mother, then being treated like luggage as he was passed from one relative to another. But he grew up, got a job working as a corporate slave, and became self-sufficient enough to pay his rent while not starving. Currently, his job is tedious, and the only joy in his life comes from spending his evenings at home alone, designing and building little houses in the game "My Little Aranara Friend", but things could be worse!

    It becomes worse in the blink of an eye. He dies. And not only is he forcefully transported into the world of "My Little Aranara Friend", but he's also stuck in the body of a mob monster called a Fungus where his only hope of getting a human body is by levelling up.

    ...And also by saving the Aranara from mass extinction caused by some malevolent mysterious dark power called "The Withering" that, if left unchecked, will also destroy the world.

    Fuck his life.

    Summary

    Hopeless.

    The word rang strong in his ears, almost louder than the thunderous quaking of Teyvat below him with each crash of rock and stone that plummeted from above.

    Maybe he was hopeless...if he can’t even do this one thing.

    Summary

    “Oh, that’s right I remember, six years ago, I got you to admit that you liked somebody. Do you… like someone now?” Kaveh asked cautiously.

    “Yeah,” Alhaitham answered nonchalantly.

    “Who?”

    “The same one as last time.”

    “You still like them? After six years?” Kaveh’s eyes widened in shock.

    “I’ve only ever loved one person, and I’ve only ever wanted to be with one person,” Alhaitham shrugged, beginning to walk away but Kaveh grabbed his wrist, holding him in place.

    “But, six years? For that long, do they not know you exist or something?”

    “They know.”

    “Have you tried courting them at all?”

    “Sorta. It didn’t work out.”

    “Then…do they just not like you back?” Kaveh asked.

    “I’ve only ever wanted them. If they don’t want me then, I’ll accept it but I don’t think I’ll ever stop loving them.”

    “That’s… the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life,” Kaveh confessed.

    In which Alhaitham meets Kaveh and spends the next 6 years pining for him.

    Summary

    Kaveh feels his own breaths shallow, he’s trying his best not to make a sound, not to move an inch. How the hell did he even find himself in this position to begin with? It’s cramped, uncomfortable, hot. Oh, and there’s also the magnificent view of Alhaitham’s rising and falling naked chest.

    No biggie.

    Kaveh finds himself in quite the unique situation. How did he get there? And where are they headed?

    Summary

    “Uh, what—?”

    This plan is so ill-advised, it is sure to get him laughed at or even kicked out, but the words are out of his mouth already, and he surely can’t take them back now, so he has to press on—

    “You heard me right. I need you to pretend to be my lover.”

    In which Kaveh asks Alhaitham to pretend to be his partner to get his mom’s approval and to hide that he’s in debt, and feelings that were always bubbling under the surface arise.

    Summary

    Kaveh scoffs. “Oh, please! Us as best friends? Nobody would believe it. You might as well have us pretend to be lovers!”

    He waits for Tighnari and Cyno to roll their eyes or shake their heads or say, Haha, good one, Kaveh, we should get you a stand-up comedy show in addition to all your amazing gigs. He doesn’t expect them to exchange a serious look.

    To convince the public that they don’t hate each other, famous actors Kaveh and Alhaitham pretend to be in a relationship. Too bad they actually hate each other.

    At least, Kaveh thinks they do.

    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

    “Oh, right – Alhaitham.” Kaveh claps a hand to his forehead. “Cyno, if you see him at the Akademiya tomorrow, don’t mention this to him, would you? I haven’t told him yet.”

    “Told him?” Cyno asks slowly, a wary glint in his eye. “What exactly haven’t you told him?”

    “That I’m getting married,” Kaveh grimaces. “I wanted to tell him myself – I suppose I do want him at the wedding after all, you know – but I didn’t get a chance yet. You know what it’s like, trying to have a conversation with him.”

     

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
    Kaveh is a single man. That's about it, really.

     

    or: the one in which Kaveh gets married, but not to whom you think.

    Summary

    I’m sure you haven’t noticed despite my saying it, dull as you are, but I can’t stand you.

    I’ll make it crystal clear for you, since that’s the only way you ever understand a word I say: I hate you, Alhaitham. Absolutely. I was an idiot for ever putting up with you in the first place and I’ve finally come to my senses.

    Or, a tale in which someone attempts to assassinate the Acting Grand Sage with what they have deemed his biggest weakness.

    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

    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.

    “Thanks for a great time,” comes the murmur against the shell of his ear. By this point, Lucilius does not even freeze, nor does he turn his head to regard it. Of course, in this hallowed sanctuary of rot and damnation, death is never permanent -- and Belial, like a persistent fly, manages to reconstruct his essence seconds after it loses its form.

    Summary

    Childe laughs at his proffered palm, throwing his head back in amusement, mortal and flawed and beautiful. Behind him, the sun has sunk below the horizon, setting it aglow with orange tongues of flame, yet the sheer delight on his face eclipses its beauty entirely. And Zhongli, twenty-eight going on six thousand, whose shadow drips red with all the ghosts he cannot shed, can only watch him, so utterly in love.

    Zhongli ponders on the metaphysics of archon hearts, starconches, and Childe.

    Summary

    They are polar opposites. The sun and moon - destined to chase the other’s light, and yet ideologically born enemies nonetheless. They were never supposed to be anything but that. And yet, foolishly, Kaveh cannot help but long for the moon’s glow. The first time Al-Haitham asks Kaveh to stay is as cruel as Kaveh knows the man himself to be. It is all Kaveh can do to pretend he wishes it wouldn’t be the last time.

    Or: A look at Kaveh and Al-Haitham throughout the years, told in little moments before they knew what love was.

    Summary

    "Why would I be worried about you?" Kaveh scoffs, crossing his arms and looking away. His eyes wander on anything and everything except Alhaitham himself.

    "You just said that I could have died if anything had gone wrong."

    "If you died, I would be stuck having to pay the entirety of the rent and the bar tab by myself."

    "I'm sure the Akademiya would end up providing some kind of compensation to you from my untimely demise," Alhaitham says pensively with a hand on his chin.

    Kaveh groans, voice muffled by his hand sliding down his own face. "Would you quit talking about your own death so casually!? Unlike you, I have some basic empathy!"

    "So you would be upset if I died?"

    "...Don't put words in my mouth."

    Alhaitham and Kaveh after the 3.2 Archon Quest.
