    Summary

    As Kaveh inspects the space that is about to become his new home, he thinks to himself that the room with those marbled counters and a familiar set of wood utensils hanging on the wall. In fact, when he squints closer, he recognizes the model of the stand mixer that’s sitting in the corner. It almost looks like—

    “My name is Al-Haitham,” the man—Al-Haitham, apparently—says, and Kaveh looks at him, looks at the chest that he vaguely recognized, turns to look at the counters that he now pinpoints from motherfucking YouTube, and fully lets his jaw drop again with no regard for propriety.

    Fuck first impressions. It seems that they’ve already had theirs.

    “No the fuck you aren’t,” Kaveh says.

    Kaveh moves into the house of his archnemesis. And then he bakes for him, as one does for their mortal enemy that they definitely don't have a crush on.

    Summary

    Kaveh, if asked, doesn’t remember the night he left, or the days leading up to it.

    He’ll say it was a blur of emotion, of tears, of adrenaline, and that he can’t quite remember the words that were spat between the two of them.

    It’s a lie, of course. Kaveh has always had a fantastic memory, and the image of Alhaitham’s stricken face as he watches Kaveh leave will stick with him for a long time. Kaveh remembers the words he said, because there were only two, and they had been the only two spoken in days between them.

    “Goodbye, Alhaitham,” he’d whispered to the wall, unable to bear looking at Alhaitham when he had that look on his face.

    And then, Kaveh had left, and he hasn’t looked back.

    Kaveh moves out of Alhaitham's house.

    Summary

    The toddler began to cry, and then he started to cough from trying to cry too hard, snot dripping down his face. Another adult came hurrying over to help him to his feet before they went inside to head, presumably, to the nurse’s office.

    Loud, chaotic, dirty. Everything that went against Al-Haitham’s standards.

    “Working here as what?” Kaveh blinked. “Like admin or something? That’s probably quiet and far enough from kids for you. Though—”

    “No,” interrupted Al-Haitham. “I don’t.”

    After getting fired from a prestigious architecture firm, Kaveh moves back to his hometown to raise his five-year-old brother only to find that an old college "acquaintance" is his little brother's kindergarten teacher.

    Summary

    Lord Kusanali was safe. Azar was exiled, Cyno and the Traveler were bouncing around Sumeru finishing off the remaining Fatui hanging around, and Tighnari had recovered from his injury. On paper, everything was going well.
    So why was Alhaitham shaking as he attempted to unlock his front door for the first time in weeks?

    In the vulnerability of injury and exhaustion, Alhaitham can’t quite find the strength to deal with his emotions and spirals.

    Summary

    [AU] The rise of humanity didn't cost the Hydro Dragon a mere fraction of his powers—it has taken nearly everything.

    Now Neuvillette has languished for ages, alone and imprisoned deep within the Fortress of Meropide. Having been forgotten by the short-lived humans that captured him, these last years of solitude have been some of his better ones, compared to those that came before.

    When he falls into human hands once more, he can only expect his suffering to resume. But the Fortress of Meropide he's brought into is no longer the one he remembers, and Wriothesley proves a different sort of human than any he's ever known.

    Summary

    Otabek met his soulmate a long time ago.
    A few months into their friendship, Yuri asked about it. “Are they shitty?” he asked, tapping two fingers against the black mark as casually as anything. They sat side by side in two ornate, decorative chairs in the lobby of the dance studio.
    Otabek huffed a laugh through his nose. “What makes you say that?”
    “You dropped them, didn’t you?” Yuri shrugged, slouching back into the stiff cushions and hooking a leg over the arm of the chair in a futile attempt to get comfortable.
    “Is yours shitty?” Otabek asked, nodding down at Yuri’s wrist.
    “Fuck if I know,” Yuri scoffed. He flicked his wrist upwards, flashing his own row of zeros.
    Otabek’s lips twitched. “You don’t know who they are?”
    “Don’t care, either,” Yuri said flippantly.
    Otabek nodded.

    Summary

    The recruit flinches away from the insane heat, eyes wide in fear.

    “Failure!” he cries, quailing as the flames around him grow hotter, burning almost white. “My quirk is Failure! Anything hit with it stops working!”

    Dabi freezes, horror digging its claws into his skull, making his hair stand on end.

    Failure… Hawks took the shot straight to the guts, he realizes, casting his gaze down to Hawks’ greying face.

    Organ failure. Hawks is going to -

    Summary

    “How can you not like Christmas?” Magnus demanded, outraged. “That’s like not liking pizza!”

    Alec shrugged. “Take it or leave it.”

    Magnus gaped at him. “What?”

    “I don’t like Christmas,” Alec repeated, finally looking up from scrolling through notes on the computer. “Is that a problem?”

    ***

    Alec - the hot, emotionally unavailable paediatrics attending with a jawline Magnus is frequently driven to distraction by - hates Christmas. Magnus thinks this is preposterous, and makes it his mission to prove to Alec that Christmas can be fun.

    Summary

    Jace blinks, peering at the loft in vague stupefaction. “This,” and Alec’s parabatai’s voice sounds like he’s dragging each noise out from his exhausted mind and forcing it out before he can forget what word he just discovered. “Isn’t the Institute?” The final phrase comes out as a question.

    Alec tilts his head in puzzlement, glancing at his brother as if wondering how he could possibly consider that Alec had taken them there instead of here. “No?”

    Alec’s head moves back to level and he narrows his eyes instead. “We said we were going home after patrol.”

    The ‘ergo, we are home now’ wasn’t said, but it was obvious in implication.

    Summary

    “If you don’t kiss him already, I’ll do it instead,” Kugisaki grits through her teeth, waving her soup spoon violently.

    Fushiguro splutters. “What?!

    Kugisaki glares at him, eyes venomous as she angrily swallows her soup. “I don’t even like boys, but if that’ll wake you up and get you to do something about… this-” she gestures at him unhelpfully “-so that I can stop watching you pine and make those dopey eyes at him while I’m trying to eat my goddamn food, I swear to god I will kiss him. Even if that repulses me to no end.”

    “I-”

    “Save it.” Kugisaki cuts him off. “Your shikigami could do better.”

    Fushiguro jolts, his mind unhelpfully supplying the image of his jade hounds nuzzled against both sides of Itadori, licking and pawing at him. He sighs heavily. “Tell me about it.”

    Summary

    “You want to ruin him," Sukuna says.

    Maybe Sukuna isn’t wrong about that, Fushiguro thinks in a daze. Itadori’s heart is too heavy and too precious. It’s a burden that shouldn’t be given to anyone else. Because even Itadori himself can’t take care of it, can’t hold onto it for the life of him because he’d rather become the vessel to the most wretched of all curses just to help two people he’s only known for a few months—to help Fushiguro, who he’d only met that night.

    (I can keep it. Fushiguro’s hands move. I can hold onto it, if you want.)

    Maybe Sukuna’s definition of ruin wasn’t all that wrong from what Fushiguro wanted after all. Maybe that did make him just as wretched.

    But if Itadori was still willing to stay beside him, despite knowing that—

    Then there was no reason for Fushiguro to let him go.

    Or—

    Some dreams start to keep Fushiguro up at night, and the cure to stopping them might be closer than he thinks.

    Summary

    After a while, they end up lying on that narrow bed, Thomas’s head on Alastair’s shoulder and Alastair’s fingers in his hair. A wave of calm washes over them, and Thomas is certain this is where he belongs: against Alastair, the blanket covering them to their chests, their legs tangled and bodies pressed together. The imminent threat hanging over London seems nearly secondary, though persistent in poking the back of their heads. But this, at least for this short period, is all that matters.

    Just Thomas and Alastair. Alastair and Thomas.

    At this, his eyes meet Atsumu’s, and they’re filled with mirth. “Ya like my baby,” Atsumu accuses him instead.

    Sakusa looks at Hikaru like Atsumu’s talking bullshit, but his eyes are curled at the edges in something that’s close to Suna’s face when Hikaru crawls into his lap. He pokes the adorable mole on Hikaru’s cheek and finds the audacity to say, “He’s tolerable.”

    Or, the one in which Atsumu isn't Spiderman, but he's a single dad, and that's pretty much the same thing.

    Summary

    “My mother hugged me at my university graduation,” he says suddenly, the memory playing on loop in his head. He’d thought at first that she and Father had only shown up for the appearances, but then standing on the side of the road outside the venue, Kiyoomi still in his robes and Dad in the car, she had stepped towards him and wrapped her arms around him, squeezed him like she didn’t want to let go. It was the first and only time she has hugged him since he was seven years old. He swears, as she pulled away, she had whispered ‘I’m sorry.’
    He'd had a panic attack as soon as they drove off, crying alone on the pavement until Aunt Mio was able to pick him up and take him back to her house because she refused to drop him at his apartment all alone.
    “It doesn’t seem like she does that a lot,” it comes out of Atsumu’s lips as an almost-whisper.
    Kiyoomi shakes his head. “She doesn’t."

    Kiyoomi takes Atsumu home to Tokyo as his fake boyfriend for Christmas. He doesn't know why he ever thought that would be a good idea. The Sakusas don't take kindly to spectators. Or themselves.

    “Excuse me. May I sit here?”

    Al-Haitham looks up. He watches the student’s red eyes darken with recognition. Unfortunately, Al-Haitham recognizes him too.

    “Would you leave if I said ‘no’?” Al-Haitham asks.

    And just like that, the student is sliding into the seat, flipping up the desk and pulling his tablet out. He shoots Al-Haitham a glare just as the professor starts lecturing.

    (Al-Haitham, Kaveh, and the three semesters in between.)

    Summary

    “I’ll head back then. Leave you to your quiet.” And before Alhaitham could protest, he turned, striding off to his quarters. Before he could tell him something foolish, like the fact that Kaveh’s voice didn’t count, or that he wanted him to stay.

    Or, in which Prince Alhaitham, the winged heir to the throne of Deshret, finds himself feeling feelings rather unfit for a Crown Prince, but quickly realizes he does not care.
