    Summary

    Kaveh has achieved so much today, it should be fine to do this much for himself. It should be fine to enjoy this much. There is absolutely nothing that Al-Haitham could possibly do to ruin this day!

    Of course, this is when Al-Haitham chooses to walk in covered in blood.

    Kaveh has enough troubles on his plate even without dealing with his confusing relationship with and unfortunately lingering feelings for his stubborn, infuriating roommate. But when a strange conspiracy begins closing in on Al-Haitham and threatening the precarious balance of their daily lives, Kaveh finds himself having to reevaluate the nature of their relationship and reckon with the ghosts of the past.

    -----

    There’s never really a good time, way, or reason to tell Kaveh about his long-lived, amoral, exiled, criminal ex-partner — who, Al-Haitham will note, was not any of those things at the time they were involved.

    However, there is definitely a worst way for Kaveh to find out.

    Summary

    "I see… trouble ejaculating…"

    It was a lie, possibly one of the fattest ones Kaeya has ever told, but dammit he's desperate.

    He sighed, "I don't know who else to talk to. Obviously this is something way too personal to bring up to the girls."

    The room felt way too hot as Albedo casually rested his cheek on his fist, as if they were talking about the weather.

    ––––

    In which Alebdo decides to help Kaeya out, and help himself a little as well.

    Summary

    "Pararibulitis is a nerve disease where the sufferer experiences painful and terrifying hallucinations, which are experienced and felt as fully real by the sufferer."[1]

    [1] Tahmina, Z., Bimarstan Doctor's Manual; 4th edition.

    * * *

    Tighnari doesn't mean to hide it from Cyno, he really doesn't, but he appreciates having someone in his life who still treats him as a person. Besides, Cyno doesn't really need to know. Tighnari has been lucky enough to never have an attack in front of him, and they've been friends for years, so there shouldn't be a problem. Right?

    The universe laughs in his face.

    Summary

    Alhaitham accidentally sets off the divine knowledge capsule while researching it one afternoon. One wrong jostle in the worst place and a spark of red lashed out very briefly from the device. Alhaitham couldn't move fast enough to avoid it shooting out towards his Akasha.

    Violent thoughts engulfed his mind instantly, but that wasn't the only thing. There was something else, perhaps due to what knowledge that particular spark had lashed out with, that was suddenly making Alhaitham's breathing faster and lust spark within the other thoughts pounding throughout his head. He could fight it, he was sure, but he didn't have the chance.

    It was a shame poor Kaveh arrived right at that moment, marching in with the slam of a door to start an argument about this, that, or the other thing. He was so engrossed in his own prepared fight that Kaveh didn't notice the red flashing in Alhaitham's eyes until his former junior classmate had his hands physically on him, forcing him face down against their living room floor and ass up.

    Summary

    Kaeya has a bit of a proposal problem. He has always been a popular man, but the flowers are starting to overwhelm his office and he can only take so many more pointed comments from the elderly grandmothers of Mondstadt about how nice a spouse their grandchildren would make.

    Kaeya has only ever wanted to marry one man, after all.

    Or, Diluc receives some interesting news from Jean before the annual Ordo Favonius winter party and has a bit of a “come to Barbatos” moment. In front of everybody.

    Summary

    Kaveh bites the inside of his cheek, his head full of images of all the possible positions a man can lie with another. It’s unsettling how vividly he can recall the pleasure of something he’s never done.
    He really should have known better than to use a suspicious knowledge capsule. Much less one called The Arts of Men: Advanced Techniques Vol. 1. What was he thinking?

    Kaveh uses a knowledge capsule that isn’t exactly what he thought it would be. Alhaitham lends him a hand – or two.

    Summary

    Objectively, he knows that Alhaitham has a lot on his plate.
    A few weeks have passed and the Akademiya have yet to find a proper candidate to become the Sages, let alone to fill the Great Sage’s seat.
    But still.
    It's a crime to ignore him like this.
    Especially when there are omegas who are clearly trying to win his alpha’s other… favor. He has to amp up his effort to seduce Alhaitham so he will properly pay attention to him again.
    But of course, it’s not that easy. (it’s so damn hard)

    .

    “I’m tempted to write my name on your stupid abs.”
    “And yet that doesn’t stop you from worshiping said abs.” Alhaitham responds in tandem.

    Summary

    “Enjoying this, huh?” he murmurs, twisting the bud between his thumb and forefinger. Alhaitham’s knees jerk, hitting the top of Kaveh’s thighs. “I didn’t expect you to be this—”

    Beautiful, he wants to say, the word saccharine on the tip of his tongue. His initial assumptions are false—no marble pillar can shiver as beautifully as this miracle of flesh and muscles and tendons, wonderfully reactive. Kaveh wants to take him apart, unravel the threads of his relentless rationality until nothing remains of him but this humanity, all this softness that does not quite fit right with the rest of him.

    Summary

    “I need you to turn down that million-dollar client.”
    Jean inhales sharply. “And why on earth would I do that?”
    “Because. . .” Kaeya starts, pulling one of his usual charming smiles and hoping it will work at least to soften the blow, “I promised the CEO I would never show my face in front of him again.”

    in which Kaeya's past comes back to haunt him in the form of his childhood friend-turned-stranger hiring his firm to develop his company's website.

    Summary

    "Good work, Bennett." Kaeya grinned, offhandedly giving Bennett's head an affectionate pat.

    This little tiny thing spreads like wildfire, with recruits and friends alike lining up and asking for Kaeya's headpats and hugs as rewards for their hard work. Kaeya is confused and Diluc sulks in the background

    Summary

    “You despise my idealism,” Kaveh says matter-of-factly. “Vehemently and quite publicly with no small amount of vitriol.”

    “See it as a result of our disagreements then,” Alhaitham counters. “My mind hasn’t been as sharp without you to argue with.”

    Kaveh has never despised his own body more than in this moment. His cheeks flush unbidden and he feels a warm tug in his chest at something that’s hardly a compliment.

    Dori sells Kaveh a love potion (under duress). Annoyed with Alhaitham, Kaveh slips it in his coffee one morning only to discover that Alhaitham's behaviour doesn't change at all...
