Summary
There’s a moment, a second, where Liam’s eyes are spitting angry. Bright gold and looking like he’s going to tear Louis’s throat out. And then Louis growls low and tightens his grip on Liam’s neck, leaning close enough that he can lay his sharpened canines on the pulse that’s jack-hammering in Liam’s neck. He could kill him. He could at least bite him, sink his fangs into the soft meat where his neck and shoulder meet as a reminder of who’s pack he’s interfering with, whose turf he’s on. It’s the first time that Louis misses it, for a heartbeat, blood flooding his mouth from more than just a scratch in a fight. Enough blood to satiate the full moon buzzing in his ears.
Or, werewolf fight club.

Summary
Al-Haitham shrugs, looking at Kaveh like he’s the crazy one. “Why would I prioritize being tired when I do that every night?”
“Prioritize over what?” Kaveh asks, trying to stay as patient as he can.
Al-Haitham blinks. “Mmh,” he hums, then laughs softly to himself, ducking his head down to his chest. It’s a gentle thing — almost delicate. Kaveh hasn’t seen him do that in… a long time. “I think if I start talking, I won’t be able to stop.”
kaveh knows, on some level, that decay is not supposed to last this long

Summary
“Aren’t you going to knock?” Al-Haitham continues before Kaveh can form the words to berate him. “You've been standing there for quite some time.”
“I-I was about to before you came.”
Al-Haitham nods. He looks at Kaveh straight in the eye. “Go on.”
Kaveh frowns and falls silent. He turns to face the closed door again. A heartbeat, and then two. He senses Al-Haitham moving forward, climbing the small steps until he stands under the eaves beside Kaveh. His shoulder nearly touches Kaveh's.
Then, in a turn of events Kaveh would never foresee, he takes Kaveh’s hand. At the same time, the door swings open.
Or, Kaveh goes to Fontaine for his sister's birthday.

Summary
Alhaitham wakes up with amnesia. The hows and whys of waking up with amnesia don’t seem to concern him as much as trying to figure out what the deal between him and his very attractive roommate is. Meanwhile, Kaveh has been saddled with an amnesiac roommate, many questions about how he ended up with an amnesiac roommate, and more than one love confession from the very same amnesiac roommate.
For the sake of his sanity, he’ll ignore that third thing.

Summary
It takes Alhaitham eighteen years to find Kaveh again.
It takes nearly another twelve to hold him once more.
Or, Alhaitham is reincarnated as a Knight in Kaveh's kingdom. Alhaitham remembers. Kaveh doesn't. Things go about as well as you could expect.

Summary
“You’re painting this early in the morning?”
Kaveh nodded.
Alhaitham stared at him a second longer, then sighed. “Nevermind. I’m gonna go make coffee.”
As Kaveh went to sit back at his canvas, he paused, sticking his head out the door for a moment. “Oh, can you bring me a cup?”
“I intended to.”

Kaveh wakes up and immediately begins a painting, so Alhaitham keeps him company while he paints all day

"...If you want to sleep in here with me tonight just ask."
Kaveh fights off the nervousness long enough to get the words out.

“Yes, he had remembered Alhaitham.
He just hoped it would stay.”
The Grand Scribe was too important for him to forget.
But his paintings say otherwise.

Summary
Kaveh has been cursed, losing his ability to use all language.
His affliction turns from frustrating to devastating when Alhaitham comes down with a disease that feeds off of unrequited love, and he doesn’t believe Kaveh returns his affections. Kaveh will have to find a way to convince him.
Kaveh reaches for Alhaitham and tries to kiss him, but Alhaitham pulls away.
"Kaveh,” Alhaitham says. “I know that bleeding heart of yours wants to save me because I’m dying, but that’s not how this works. You can’t just force yourself to fall in love with someone.”
Kaveh shakes his head vigorously. Listen to me, he wants to scream. I love you, and I need you, and you can’t leave me, don’t leave me—

Summary
“Maman, Baba, look!” he had announced, toothy grin stretched ear to ear, “friend!”
Abtin and Faranak had shared a glance between them for a moment before it clicked.
“Oh, my dear little light, that is your seelie,” Faranak had said gently, pulling Kaveh’s joined hands into her own. “Only you can see it, and I’m sure it looks most wonderful.”
“That little seelie is linked to your soul’s betrothed, my son. Everything they feel will reflect in that fairy’s wisps.” Abtin patted Kaveh on the shoulder, a grin matching Kaveh’s own on his lips. “So study it well, so that you can learn all about your future love.”
“Yes, Baba!”

Summary
So when the sky becomes overcast and the clouds rumble with Celestia’s wrath, he doesn’t bat an eye as Alhaitham abruptly excuses himself from dinner, grabs his headphones off the coffee table, and retreats to his room. This is normal, he knows; Alhaitham hates loud noises.
(What Kaveh doesn’t know is that the day after Alhaitham’s grandmother had passed, a fierce storm had overtaken the city. It had been the middle of the rainy season, so it had been nothing out of the ordinary. Kaveh, little thirteen-year-old Kaveh, hadn’t minded much. But Alhaitham had been alone— small, scared, and very much alone— for one of the first times of his life.
If Alhaitham had disliked storms then, he’d grown to hate them now, had grown to fear them, grown to loathe how powerless he felt whenever he heard the clap of thunder, or saw a stream of lightning scar the dark sky.)
In which Kaveh, Sumeru's resident expert on all things Alhaitham, still manages to learn something new.

Summary
“I...” Alhaitham's not sure where to start, really. So he lays it out, plain and true: “I hurt people today. I think I killed someone, Kaveh.”
That gets Kaveh's eyes to widen, large and glassy like a deer. Alhaitham wonders, was he about to cry earlier? “You... okay. What happened?”
There's no judgment. No anger. No hate in those round red eyes, that usually go narrow and sharp like the edge of broken glass when Kaveh hears someone's been killed. Is it because it's Alhaitham, or because he made a promise? Is he planning on how to start packing efficiently and go tell a matra tonight, Alhaitham wonders?
Kaveh's hand squeezes Alhaitham's knee. He hasn't moved it.
“I... I don't know. I just– I've been sick, and I left early, and I–” Alhaitham's throat closes up. It hurts to talk, and he swallows around the knot in his throat. Kaveh just nods, letting him find his voice. “...I attacked someone. Two people.”
“I didn't think vampires were real,” Kaveh says, breathlessly.
something is terribly wrong with alhaitham.

Summary
Alhaitham has been cursed. The curse can only be broken by a kiss from someone who truly loves him. According to Alhaitham, such a person does not exist, so he prepares for the inevitable and keeps quiet about the cure.
Kaveh can do nothing but watch as Alhaitham’s condition deteriorates. He helps to take care of him as things progress, but he still feels useless. If only there were something he could do…
“You’re so warm,” Kaveh utters. He brings his hand up to touch his cheek.
“Mm,” Alhaitham hums, leaning into the touch.
Kaveh keeps his hand where it is and gives him a sad smile. “You only get like this when you’re sick or drunk.”
“Pathetic?”
Kaveh shakes his head. “Affectionate. It’s… kind of nice, to be honest.” He laughs. “To tell you the truth, I used to try to get you drunk just to see you like this.”
If his cheeks weren’t already burning, he might blush. “Really.”
“Your attitude is easier to handle when you’re all clingy,” Kaveh admits.
"Well, I guess you get to see it one last time,” Alhaitham says.
Kaveh’s expression sobers. “…I guess so.”

Summary
Alhaitham knew from the moment he woke.
The very action of opening his eyes felt like his eyelids were being pried apart, and what sight he could get between them was blurred. He was all too aware that there was too much in his head, weighing it down so that the mere act of rising was a fight against a stronger gravitational pull. The weight spread throughout his body to his chest, sinking in his stomach, his limbs, every movement feeling sluggish. Even the action of sitting up felt like it consumed more energy than it reasonably should have.

Alhaitham wakes up sick, but his role as the Acting Grand Sage means that he has to push through the day until he can return home and recuperate.

Summary
Kaveh shifts in his seat, and he raises his chin as if to look at Al-Haitham from another angle. This seems unnecessary. Then again, Kaveh seems to involve himself in many unnecessary things.
“Well then, who did you piss off today, to the point of limping all the way back home?”
The answer is, many people. Al-Haitham doesn’t really care about this, but he might care a little more if the person getting aggravated is Kaveh. The reactions that Al-Haitham can get out of his roommate have always been a little too entertaining.
Kaveh looks unconvinced, “And how was something like this not preventable by someone like you?”
“... I was reading on the walk home.”
Kaveh’s eyes narrow, and the amusement that slips across his face is not lost on Al-Haitham. The small smile on his face is a bit threatening, in a way that Al-Haitham can’t quite explain.
“I see. So the feeble scholar finally lives up to his self-proclaimed title.”
Al-Haitham deals with an injury, and Kaveh deals with Al-Haitham.

Summary
An expedition in the desert goes wrong, and Alhaitham gets injured. Kaveh’s got something on his mind.
“I wouldn’t lie to you over something this stupid,” Alhaitham says.
“...So you’re saying you would lie about something else,” Kaveh huffs.
“Only if it were important,” Alhaitham says. “Or at least entertaining.”
Kaveh pinches the bridge of his nose. “Gods, why do I put up with you?”
“The lower-than-market rent, probably,” Alhaitham offers.
“I— Yeah, that’s probably it,” Kaveh sighs.

Summary
“Welcome home.” Alhaitham stands in the foyer, arms uncrossing to help Kaveh bring his mother’s bag onto the floor.
She looks to her son, then back at Alhaitham, then back to Kaveh again, brows knit in confusion.
“I, er… I suppose I should explain. Mother, this is my—” He pauses, hiding the way he falters behind an awkward cough.
“Alhaitham.”
Due to an unexpected visit from his mother, Kaveh asks Alhaitham to pretend to be more than his roommate. The week ends up being more than either of them bargained for.

Summary
“You're mentioned in the ‘Funding’ segment.”
“For citation?”
“For in-person guidance and aid.”
Kaveh snorts. “I haven't agreed to any aid this year; I'm not teaching.”
“No, but Payam seems quite sure you'd enjoy his thesis topic and humbly requests your expertise in the situation.” A divot appears in between Kaveh's eyebrows as he purses his lips.
An odd research submission begins paving the way to a dangerous inclination bordering on obsession. In a wholly illogical sense, the lingering obsession focuses on his roommate.
A visceral string of events begins, with a temple devoted to the deceased Goddess of Flowers being the epicenter.

Don’t forget to eat your lunch, Alhaitham! I’ll throw out all your books if you dont! - Kaveh
Alhaitham stares at the note. It’s still stuck on the lunchbox Kaveh uses for him. His handwriting is beautiful still, because there was no way Kaveh would be caught dead with hideous handwriting. It was a recent note Kaveh left, and Alhaitham doesn’t have the heart to throw it out. So he leaves it stuck on the cabinet.
He leaves it with all the other notes he’s been keeping since Kaveh moved out.
I’m making falafel tonight, so you better come home.
I spent a lot of time on this, so you better appreciate it.
Come home early tonight, I’m planning on making desserts.
Take care of yourself.
