    Summary

    He was fine before. He did not dare dream of the impossible, never was inclined to it, really. But the slightest hint of a possibility always piqued his curiosity. Now, regrettably, was no different - however unreasonable it might be.

    After all, as mirror images were bound to be, they, too, would likely be destined to remain forever opposed: Their philosophies and views on life too different to ever coexist.

    The idea of anything else… well, it implied challenging all currently known laws that mirrors abided by, did it not?

     

    Alhaitham had long since made peace with his misplaced feelings.

    Then Kaveh's behavior towards him changed. Alhaitham is struggling to rationalize it.

    Summary

    "Oh, come on. you gotta admit the one about you being a bad kisser made you a little mad," Kaveh simpers.

    "We've never kissed," Alhaitham says through gritted teeth. The blonde's grin widens into malicious satisfaction.

    "Exactly! I mean, as far as I know, its true. It's not a wholly unadvised conclusion, though. A person that doesn't smile just can't be a good kisser. You know I'm right."

    Alhaitham's responding smirk is as devastating as it is handsome. Kaveh falters, his confident grin slipping.

    "To surmise I'm a bad kisser means you first had to think about kissing me."

    Kaveh's space is crowded suddenly and that grin is wiped off his face entirely now.

    "Careful, Kaveh. Don't forget I've spent the last six months finding every hole in every argument you've ever made."

    He hates Alhaitham. Hates him so much.

    "Don't forget that I spent two years by your side," his rival says angling closer, "I know exactly how your mind works."

    "I know how you study, how you eat, how you sleep," a hand reaches forward, cupping Kaveh's jaw, redirecting that avoidant crimson gaze back to him.

    "And now, I know every thought behind your petty little rumors."

    Summary

    Kaveh held back his sarcasm. This guy was already getting on his nerves, and it didn't help that this was his eighth appointment of the day. “Tell me what you’re looking for in a relationship.”

    “Companionship," Alhaitham replied. "Someone to go home to. A second opinion when I would like to discuss something. Casual company. Someone to get to know on an intimate level. Someone to be physically comfortable with. Someone who understands me.”

    Summary

    Alhaitham and Kaveh have finally gotten together—and were just about to tell their friends—when Kaveh overhears an ongoing bet about him and Alhaitham being together.

    Frustrated that they’ve apparently been that obvious to everyone except themselves, Kaveh declares: no announcements. Not until the bet ends in two weeks.

    What he doesn’t realize: keeping it hidden is going to be excruciating.
    Especially when Alhaitham seems determined to make everything even more difficult.

    ______

    Or: two idiots try—and spectacularly fail—to act normal like they’re not a couple around their nosy, wagering friends.

    Summary

    Are you like me? He wanted to ask, as the dim light of the evening pooled in the embers of Kaveh’s flashing eyes. Have I branded myself into your soul as you have into mine? “Your sentimentality is wasted on projects that do not require it. You are working far too hard for returns that will not come.” He said instead.

    Or alternately, fools in love. Featuring increasingly married bickering, perfume, and more self-doubt than you can shake a stick at.

    Summary

    Alhaitham is an incubus - a terrible one. At nearly 110 years old, he's still a virgin, mostly because the mere thought of touching anyone makes him feel ill.

    Enter: Kaveh. He's a siren - a terrible one. The thought of using his biology to override consent horrifies him, and as such, he's never used his powers once in his life.

    Then, on one fateful day... they end up in the same bar.

    Summary

    “I don’t need to know what you are,” Illuga says. “Just give me something. Something to cling to the next time you run headfirst into danger alone.”

    Flins sees the ghosts behind those pleading eyes, the shadows he tries to bathe in light, to pretend his lantern could drown them out rather than push them further into the corners of his mind. And he knows the stories, knows the haunted past that Illuga doesn’t like to talk about, the reason Flins’ answer matters.

    He settles on a simple, yet vague truth.

    “I am… not so easily killed,” he admits.

    “If you’re lying to me,” Illuga says. “I will summon you from the grave and kill you myself.”

    Summary

    “She’s all alone, Haitham. She has no one to care for her, no home, and we don’t even know if the word on the back of her neck is her proper name.” He met Alhaitham’s eyes, his own wide with fear and uncertainty. “You gave me a home,” he spoke so quietly that Alhaitham strained to hear him, “Can’t we give her one too?”
    -
    Kaveh returns home early from a desert expedition with a child he found in a cave. Not wanting to abandon this girl who has clearly been abandoned before, he asks Alhaitham to help him do one thing: Give her a home.

    Summary

    Kaveh remembered the stories. Cattle that were sacred. Cattle that were never to be touched.

    “Please. I’m sorry. I’ll do anything. If it’s punishment you want—or justice—I’ll take it. Just spare them. Some of them are still kids.”

    The god tilted his head. Stepped closer. Looked Kaveh over like he was something to be carved open.

    “Anything?”

    Kaveh swallowed. “Y-yes.”

    Or: Kaveh’s juniors pissed off a god. Kaveh offered himself in their place. He didn’t expect the punishment to last a lifetime. And he definitely didn’t expect to enjoy it.

    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

    "'Flins'?" Flins asked, his tone mildly surprised but courteous. "I am seldom called as such. Why, my good sir, do I perhaps know you? If I do, please forgive me for I cannot remember."

    "Hang on a second." Illuga grabbed the edge of Flins' coat. "If Flins is not the name you're used to, what do they call you?"

    "Ah. My apologies." Flins took his hat and bowed, his grace and elegance untouched by the howling snow. He took Illuga's fingers and pressed them to his lips—much like the first time they met. "Allow me to introduce myself, my good sir. Around these parts, I am called Kyryll, the Azure Flame."

    Summary

    Alhaitham doesn't mind being alone一

    At first, they are inseparable. Alhaitham's nose is always stuck between the pages of books, too engrossed in his own ideals to care about others, while Kaveh is too busy pretending to not be drowning in his own sorrows by caring enough for the both of them.

    Years later, they aren't speaking. Kaveh will blame Alhaitham. Alhaitham will stay silent. What cannot be argued, by either of them, is that they've both changed in equally devastating ways, and they're forced to confront these differences when they reconverge after Kaveh is left with nothing.

    一and Kaveh is terrified of it.

    Summary

    “Shit- ow, ow,” Kaveh whined pathetically as he attempted to raise his arms above his head in a simple stretch, one that only seemed to bring him more misery.

    “Would you like help?” Alhaitham asked as he flipped the page. He was careful to keep his tone disinterested, lest Kaveh grow suspicious of his intentions.

    “When are you ever helpful?” Kaveh grumbled in response, splaying his hands cautiously over his lower back with a hiss.

    It wasn’t an agreement, but it also wasn’t a denial – just one of the many contradictions that made up Kaveh. Alhaitham closed the book whose title he'd already forgotten and set it on the coffee table as he pushed himself up to stand, satisfied enough with Kaveh's non-answer.

    “I’ve been known to commit an altruistic act every now and then,” Alhaitham hummed.


    Kaveh has been in pain recently, and Alhaitham has a solution in mind. His plan works as intended – Kaveh starts to trade his bad habits for healthier ones, but that’s not all that changes. Kaveh is acting friendlier, or perhaps something more than friendly. Alhaitham is skilled at weathering Kaveh’s contempt – he’s not sure he can survive Kaveh’s affection.

    Summary

    “Scribe Alhaitham has been in an accident. They sent me to fetch you.”

    Almost immediately, all the noise filters away, and all Kaveh can hear is the pounding of his heart and the rushing of his blood in his ears.

    “What?” He repeats, but this time his voice comes out hollow and shaky. The building plans that were in his hands flutter to the ground, forgotten. “Alhaitham?”

    Alhaitham gets hit by a leyline disorder, and everything changes for them.

    Summary

    “There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."

    “Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.

    “Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”

    There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.

    Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

    Summary

    The Akademiya has many rules. One of them dictates the constant use of cycle suppressants—and also when everyone goes off their use. The result is a huge break as all students and scholars both rush to find a partner to spend the season with and, for Kaveh, it means headache... And many changes.

    Summary

    “I am proposing a deal, Alhaitham,” Nahida mutters, catching Alhaitham’s attention once again. The tall man looks over to her and raises an eyebrow, “And what would that be?” 

    The smile that irks Alhaitham once again paints over the Archon’s lips  — and this time, he knows it’s meant to piss him off.

    “I will approve of your resignation in exchange for the Aaru Village’s approval of the developmental plans.” 

    Since the Dendro Archon is as kind as she is wise, she decided to give Alhaitham one last quest - which, once finished, would give him the freedom to return to his easy and normal life as a scribe. Alhaitham, forced to abide by the words of his Archon, sets out to the desert where he pretends to be a traveler, to devise a plan to get the desert dwellers to concur to the Akademiya’s plans. The quest turns thorny when he meets a dancer with scarlet eyes in Caravan Ribat.

    Summary

    As Kaveh’s coronation draws near, it becomes clear that forces within the castle want to keep him from ascending to his rightful position as king. Unfortunately for them, Kaveh is guarded by a man who would burn the entire kingdom to ashes before letting him fall - even if loving him borders on treason.

    When a hidden plot threatens Kaveh’s life, the careful line he and Alhaitham have drawn between longing and duty since childhood begins to give way. With a throne demanding obedience and a heart that refuses it, Kaveh puts his trust in the one man who has always seen the brilliant mind beneath his crown, determined to secure both his kingdom and his future before the forces working against him can claim either.
