    Summary

    A year after the end of the war, Hubert and Ferdinand are sent to Morfis to seek assistance in preventing a looming agricultural crisis at home. Alone together in a strange land, they must navigate the local politics, the threat of Agarthan interference, and the ever-evolving complications of their own relationship.

    Told from Hubert's POV. Features all the Ferdibert classics: duty, banter, pining, Ferdinand being handsome and irritating, Hubert being mistrustful and repressed, and many (many) extremely avoidable misunderstandings.

    Summary

    The truth of the matter is, Kaveh has no idea how to read Alhaitham. He prides himself on being an expert at understanding people, his empathetic heart lending him the capacity to relate deeply with those around him (oftentimes to his detriment). But with Alhaitham, there is nothing for him to read; no clues from his cool expression for him to grasp. The man appears stoic all the time even during their petty bickering.

    Honestly, when was the last time Kaveh has seen the man do anything except smirk or frown? Does Alhaitham feel happiness? Has he ever seen the man laugh?

    Kaveh's mind is drawing a blank on the latter and it...bothers him deeply.

    --
    Kaveh devises a plan to get Alhaitham to smile by being aggressively nice to the man (and also maybe if he makes Alhaitham happy, he can score a discount on his rent or something). Alhaitham thinks Kaveh ate some mind-altering mushrooms and is, understandably, confused and mildly afraid.
