    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

    Summary

    “You’re going to catch a cold,” Alhaitham says.

    “What?” Kaveh frowns.

    “Your hair,” he clarifies. He grabs the towel and starts rubbing it into Kaveh’s hair. “You need to dry it properly.”

    (Or, Alhaitham gets annoyed with Kaveh. So annoyed, he makes an entire machine, just for Kaveh.)

    Summary

    “Genuinely,” his Kaveh interrupts. “Who is this? Maybe the ruins altered your brain as well. Since when do you agree with something I say without putting up a fight?”

    “Be quiet,” Alhaitham retorts. “You didn’t say it, Senior Kaveh did.”

    Senior-?!” Kaveh splutters. “Unbelievable. Of course you would find a way of being respectful to me while insulting me at the same time.”

    “How is that insulting?”

    “You never call me that!”

    “We graduated years ago. He,” Alhaitham tugs on Senior Kaveh’s hand pulling him in, testing a theory. “is my senior, you’re my-”

    “Hey!” Kaveh interrupts, looking at their younger selves pointedly.

    Summary

    Let’s get one thing clear, Lambad’s not an idiot. He’s heard the gossip.

    The Scribe of the Akademiya and the Light of Kshahrewar. Alhaitham and Kaveh. Kaveh and Alhaitham. Two sides of a mirror. You can’t have one without the other.

    ———

    Or, Kaveh and Alhaitham through Lambad’s eyes.
