    Summary

    People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.

    There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.

    Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

    Summary

    Alhaitham purses his lips. “What did you say your name was again?”

    “I didn’t,” says Kaveh weakly. He swallows.

    Okay. There are two options here.

    Option A: Tell the truth. Yeah, uh, hi. I’m Kaveh. I’m your roommate. Um. We slept together last night. Hopefully this doesn’t make things weird! Nice to meet you!

    Option B: Run.

    Kaveh is horrified to find out that his one night stand is actually his elusive new roommate.

    Summary

    “WHAT THE FUCK,” says Kaveh. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING INSIDE MY APARTMENT?”

    “Oh,” says Al-Haitham from where he is currently standing by the island. “I knew these mugs looked familiar.”

    Kaveh’s jaw drops.

    Al-Haitham blinks a few times. “Well.”

    Kaveh knows it's probably a bad idea to start sleeping with your ex-boyfriend that you share an apartment with. Probably.

    Summary

    And despite that... Kaveh is… “Lovesick?”

    Kaveh’s hands move to cover his face, palms muffling his words as he mutters, “It’s—not quite like that.”

    “Well, the ‘sick’ aspect is accurate, at least.”

    “No shit,” Kaveh snorts. “The ‘love’ component, though—it’s, uh—”

    “You’re not in love?”

    He coughs. “The greenhouse in my lungs begs to differ. I—it’s more that my body is mourning a love it knows can’t ever be requited.”

    For all the negative feelings Alhaitham’s encountered over the past twelve hours, the sensation that creeps through him now is…

    Unfamiliar.

    Unknowable.

    Despite all the languages he’s fluent in, Alhaitham is unable to conjure a word or phrase with which he can immediately label it. He just knows that whatever this feeling is, it’s unbelievably unpleasant. Like his body is stationary, yet his internal organs are plummeting into the Abyss.

    “You love someone who doesn’t love you back?” he asks after a moment.

    Kaveh has Hanahaki. That much is known. But who he loves, and whether Alhaitham will be able to save him, is up in the air.

    Summary

    "Forgive me, Lord Phainon, I can't help but be curious. How could you possibly not know that Lord Mydei has been your spouse for... four months?"

    "To be honest, Miss Castorice, I haven't the slightest idea."

    Through a series of events that may or may not have involved a Kremnoan courting ritual, Phainon had somehow managed to ask for Mydei's hand in marriage.

    For some reason, Mydei said yes.

    Summary

    News reaches him in a hushed murmur, muttered into errant ears, lips hidden behind ink-stained hands.

    Alhaitham drowns them out, the majority of rumors that circulate the halls of the Akademiya, but something about this one catches his attention, bypasses his earpieces, stutters his steps. It’s a name: bitter and familiar, like coffee that scalds the tongue and invigorates the mind. Kaveh, they whisper.

    Well, why listen to a rumor without verifying the validity yourself?

    Summary

    “Well,” is what Aglaea says at last. “This is certainly… a predicament.”

    Her voice is as unreadable as ever, so it could mean anything from this is manageable to this is a disaster the likes of which the Flame-Chase Journey will never recover from. As things stand, Mydei is more inclined to believe the latter.

    Beside them, Tribbie finally pops up from where she’s been studying their joined hands. “What Snowy said is true!” she proclaims in a voice far too cheerful for their current situation. “He and De are one hundred percent stuck to each other.”

    While out on patrol, Mydei and Phainon get hit with a curse that binds their hands together.

    Summary

    For the moment, Kaveh denies Alhaitham any evidence of the pleasure he is inflicting. He does not make sweet noises, does not chase after the butterfly touches — too prideful to outright ask to be pulled apart, but desperate enough to allow it to happen to him. After all, he had been the one to take a deep, steadying breath before guiding his bodyguard’s hand to the clasp of his outer robe, to say without words: If I am reading us right, do as you will. Please.

    By the end, Alhaitham thinks himself a house of cards that does not collapse – instead, one that has found the rare fate of being deconstructed with care.

    Summary

    The first time his assigned bodyguard unmasks in front of him, Kaveh chokes on his water.
    Alhaitham shoots him a dry look as he dusts off the sand caught in the fabric. “Is even drinking quietly beyond you?”
    His eyes are beautiful. Hooded, long-lashed, catching the campfire in furls of teal and citrus — sunlit stained glass. Despite their sharp gaze, they soften the firm set of his lips and jaw and, well, the rest of him.

    The Akademiya assigns bodyguards to students traveling alone in the desert. Alhaitham is meant to protect from typical dangers — the beasts, the cliffs, the temperature. Not plants that leave his charge begging for his touch.

    Summary

    A letter comes to a house in Sumeru City.

    My light,

    I have been absent from you too long. For that, I have no apology worthy enough for the forgiveness I ask of you now. I am ill.

    ...

    Kaveh's mother gets sick. This serves as a catalyst in many respects.

    Summary

    Kaveh remembered the stories. Cattle that were sacred. Cattle that were never to be touched.

    “Please. I’m sorry. I’ll do anything. If it’s punishment you want—or justice—I’ll take it. Just spare them. Some of them are still kids.”

    The god tilted his head. Stepped closer. Looked Kaveh over like he was something to be carved open.

    “Anything?”

    Kaveh swallowed. “Y-yes.”

    Or: Kaveh’s juniors pissed off a god. Kaveh offered himself in their place. He didn’t expect the punishment to last a lifetime. And he definitely didn’t expect to enjoy it.
