Summary
Cyno is swept into a much-needed getaway in Port Ormos; with Alhaitham as his unlikely guide to the art of leisure, he finds himself - against all odds - quite enchanted.
Or, a study in wild gardens, moonlit detours, and fruit at the height of the season.

Summary
Cyno’s eyes narrowed. “How much do you know?”
“More than you, it seems,” said Alhaitham. A beneficent smile flicked over his lips, measured like a tock of a senapati piece placed on the mango-wood chessboard.
He’d be a little more charming with a little less power, Cyno thought idly, and watched Alhaitham pop a date into his mouth.
General Mahamatra investigates a lead cutting too close to home - chaperoned by one bibliophilic maven and his two unlikely accomplices, each seemingly tending to their own personal intrigues. But in the desert's sand, every step forward may sink them a foot deeper.
Or, Alhaitham's intimate study on the hollowness of a water lily's stem, and the fullness of his own heart.

Summary
“Come on, Cyno,” Alhaitham said quietly, “you’re sharper than this. That mystery person, the one that distracts you so. Who are they?"
Cyno went very still. “No one,” he said.
Once upon a time, Cyno lets himself wish; the entire sky listens.

The desert had taught Cyno to take; at night, he dreamt of grape leaves stuffed full, of dates and honey and almonds.

Summary
Cyno’s returned from a three-month-long mission in the desert where thoughts of Alhaitham all but consumed him. The two enjoy an amorous reunion, but after his run the next morning, Cyno reflects on himself and his relationship with Alhaitham. Their usual quiet morning over coffee turns into something much more heated as Cyno’s walls come crumbling down.

Summary
"STOP!"
Alhaitham's chest heaves as he holds up this hands and it's a miracle that everything freezes. When he finally gets a longer look at the three people around him, recognition hits him like lightning.
The General Mahamatra, the Guardian of Aaru Village, and the Flame Mane.
The saviours of Sumeru that were once etched in stone now stood looking at Alhaitham as if he had grown mad.
When a mysterious Fontainian artifact is sent to the Museum of Sumeru for safekeeping, curator Alhaitham doesn't think twice about it. But when strange happenings begin to haunt the museum at the strike of midnight, and exhibits begin to come to life, the last thing he expects is to have another mystery on his hands.
Who exactly was 'The Scribe' and why is the General Mahamatra desperate to find him?
A Night at the Museum (2006) AU

Summary
“Kaveh is an annoyance. An obstacle, that’s all,” Al-Haitham states.
“I don’t like men who are in denial, whether it’s about their sexuality or their four-year strong homoerotic situationship,” Cyno counters.
“There is nothing to be in denial about,” Al-Haitham makes a token protest, “We are incompatible in every way, every manner of friendship and romance.”
Cyno only gives him a flat look in return. “Whether you two have sex or not, like we do, is irrelevant. You are bound together in every sense regardless.”
Kaveh brings Al-Haitham and Cyno together. But he doesn't get left behind, either.

Summary
“One scholar’s complaint should not doom an ancient ruin,” Candace says frantically. “The domain is a priceless remnant from King Deshret’s kingdom. It’s a cultural artifact that belongs to the Sands!”
“This domain sits far from any authority that can keep the area safe,” Cyno says.
“It’s far from Sumeru City’s authority, you mean,” Candace retorts.
“It’s far from the Matra’s offices,” Cyno corrects. “It’s the Matra that keeps scholars safe. And it is the Matra that rescues anyone trapped in domains.”
-–
Kaveh goes missing on an expedition to the desert, leading to a tense reunion amongst the desert gang. It’s a headache fueled by conflicting motivations. Aside from finding the missing party, Cyno wants order, Candace wants them gone, Dehya wants everyone to get along–
And Alhaitham just wants Cyno to himself.

Summary
It stares at Alhaitham with familiar, ruby-red eyes.
I’m dreaming again, Alhaitham realizes. He must be, because he’s completely alone in this lake, and it’s come alive with the rhythmic chorus of songbirds and cicadas. Dozens of variegated frogs suddenly surface around the boulder, barely breaking the water’s edge as they watch and wait to see what he’ll do next.
The Jeweled Axolotl blinks twice, then cocks its head.
“Am I supposed to follow you?” Alhaitham asks.
It blinks again, then dips into the water with a gurgle.
--
Alhaitham finds himself on the wrong side of a conflict to drain an ancient lake. Feeling powerless, he resigns himself to going along with the Akademiya's wishes.
That is, until the lake begins speaking to him in his dreams.
