Summary
(non-fiction essay, meta analysis, not a fic)
Sumeru is a vast and complex nation with problems of ethnocentrism and ethnonationalism touched upon in the game but never explored. Sethos, the newest addition to the region's ensemble, should have been able to tie up all the loose ends left at the end of the Archon Quests.
Key words: should have been.
In this round-up of my notes and thoughts on a previous Sethos character study, I break down my thoughts and understanding on Sumeru's narrative, philosophical inspirations and influences, and why there are three Rtawahist scholar NPCs in the Sumeru Archon quest.

Ostracization, Responsibility, and the Absurd Man-- An Analysis of the Character Flaws and Consequent Intrinsic Conflict of the Doctor Through the Lens of Absurdism by underfaller
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
16 Jan 2026

Summary
This paper aims to not only analyze the parallels of Meursault and Dottore, but to examine the Doctor from the perspective of Albert Camus’s absurdism as a whole. Despite the drastic difference of media these two characters are found in, through the lens of absurdism, one can argue that through the Doctor’s disconnect and consequential ostracization from society, relentless pursuit of knowledge and meaning in a fundamentally absurd universe, hypocritical desire of acceptance from his peers, and the juxtaposition of character between himself and the Traveler, Dottore proves to be narratively absurdist man-- just one that has neither accepted nor completed this role yet.

Summary
Al-Haitham married Kaveh three years ago, despite being straight, just to get his company's quarterly bonuses meant for newlywed employees. When Haitham starts to face suspicion at work over his fake marriage, he brings Kaveh along with him to a holiday party in order to fool his coworkers—only to realize he's been fooling himself all along, too.

“It feels wrong.”
“What does?”
“Just— making you kiss me in reward for not putting zero effort in.” Kaveh understood where he was coming from and found it kind of sweet but—
“Listen, you’re not ‘making’ me kiss you; I offered it willingly. You’re annoying as hell but I wouldn’t mind kissing you. Plus, it gets you to put effort in so that’s good as well.”

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.

Operation Sympathy: Resounding Failure by Rainbowkittyblossomwings

Summary
Cyno and Alhaitham don't get along, and that worries Lumine and Paimon. Cyno clearly doesn't fully trust Alhaitham, and Alhaitham clearly doesn't care enough to try to get along. So it's up to her and Paimon to smooth things out and make them like each other, so they're not at each other's throats while saving Nahida.
So Lumine throws herself into a desperate plot to make Cyno pity Alhaitham, in hopes of that making him trust him and stop viewing him as a spy for the Sages.
Naturally when it comes to Alhaitham's hardships, that inevitably turns to his massive fight with Kaveh, and to Lumine's horror she learns both Cyno and Alhaitham happen to know this Kaveh guy.And more importantly, both of them refuse to believe that the other one truly knows Kaveh. Because if Kaveh was truly Cyno's friend, wouldn't he have mentioned Alhaitham to Cyno? And wouldn't he have spoken about Cyno to Alhaitham?
Kaveh's desperation to keep two factions of his life separate, and for people to not learn Alhaitham is his roommate, including his friends, ends up hurting him, as much to Lumine's horror Cyno and Alhaitham are sent into a spiral of one-upping each other on Kaveh knowledge.

Rose and Nightingale by priorwalter for Habizuh_Studios
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
The kinds of bad personalities you'd hate in real life are always extremely appealing in fiction. Or that's how Kaveh tries to defend all the fanart on his twitter account of Al-Haitham, the protagonist of the worst web novel ever written.
Flower of Paradise Lost is a coming of age turned political drama turned stallion novel. Its lack of commitment to one genre, elementary-level prose, and terribly written characters make it borderline unreadable. Al-Haitham is its only saving grace: steadfast, handsome, and unyielding, he carries the story on his broad and sculpted shoulders.
When the final chapter is posted, Kaveh finds himself unceremoniously dropped into the body of the scum villain that shares his name - Al-Haitham's closest friend and the one who pushes him into a portal to the abyss, corrupting his soul forever. If Kaveh followed the pragmatic protagonist's logic, he'd push Al-Haitham into the abyss without mercy - he's only a character in a novel, after all. But Kaveh's bleeding heart has always been his downfall.
Transmigration! Romance! Endless miscommunication! It's a SVSSS AU.

Summary
“Are you done. Haitham.” Kaveh snaps.
Knot in his brow. Warm. Solid. He smells so good Alhaitham wants to peel his skin open with his teeth. Nip where his muscle gets sweetest close to the bone. Lick the sweat from the fine-sculptured jut of his jaw and bite and Alhaitham should bite his own tongue off, actually, before he does what he’ll regret. There’s a low whine in the air around them, escaping from his chest, muffled into his hand.
“Off.” He tries. Slurs. “Kaveh. Get off.”
Sumeru's most rational and mild-mannered ghoul struggles. Kaveh (as he always has) doesn't help.

Summary
Once Kaveh got very sick and found a raised lump on his throat. It hurt to touch. For three seconds, or maybe four, Kaveh hoped desperately there were more: little lumps under his skin eating away at his insides until there was nothing left, until his body was subsumed and all that was left was rot. That was how his father’s brother died but Kaveh was so young he couldn’t remember his father’s brother’s face.
That night Kaveh’s mother batted his hand away from his neck and said in a rare moment of frustrating clarity, It’s good if it hurts. That means your body knows something is wrong, so it won’t stay. It’ll be gone soon.
Later, Kaveh slept under his bed and wondered if his mother’s words were true. Was it good to hurt? She didn’t like it when Kaveh cried, and at that age Kaveh cried a lot, even when he wasn’t sick and even when he wasn’t sad, though he’d learned to cry quietly and alone. Maybe that was good too. He was getting rid of it, and it would be gone soon.

Summary
“What happened?” Alhaitham asks.
“They sent me out with Collei to watch over her.”
So Kaveh took a hit for her. “You can’t keep doing this when you haven’t recovered fully from Corruption,” Alhaitham says for the thousandth time as he peels back the ruined bandage. “You’ll kill yourself.”
“I wouldn’t have Corruption if I was meant to survive it.” Kaveh winces as Alhaitham pokes at the ragged slash in his side. “It’s your ability that’s the problem.”
Alhaitham is a mafia executive, Kaveh hates himself, and no one has any fun. A series of vignettes.
