Summary
After a rough start, Alhaitham and Kaveh have figured out how to navigate the latter’s unexpected rut—Alhaitham has successfully tricked his instincts into submission, and for the past several days, Kaveh’s instincts have been perfectly satisfied. Now his rut is almost over, and the remainder will be the easiest part.
Or, at least, it would have been easy, if Alhaitham’s body hadn’t suddenly decided to make things difficult.
“Don’t move,” Alhaitham growls, his grip on Kaveh’s wrists tightening. He needs to stop Kaveh, needs to—
A quiet Haitham breaks through the buzzing in his head, and he blinks, staring down at Kaveh.
Kaveh’s eyes are wide, chest rising and falling as he pants for air, and the sweet scent of his arousal is gone, replaced by something bitter and acrid.
Alhaitham licks dry lips and searches Kaveh’s face for an answer, unable to find one on his own.
“You’re in rut,” Kaveh breathes.

Summary
When Kaveh announces that he’ll need to temporarily stop taking suppressants, Alhaitham assumes that he must be an omega. After all, that’s the only logical reason that Kaveh would have pretended to be a beta for all this time. It’s the only logical reason that Kaveh would ask Alhaitham, an alpha, to leave the house for two weeks.
Except Alhaitham has made a rare miscalculation—and helping Kaveh will be much more difficult than Alhaitham expected, when his own instincts keep pulling him in two different directions.
“To clarify,” Alhaitham says, “you’re saying you’ll feel safer if I’m not here. Do I have that correct?”
“That—that’s not exactly what I said.”
“You said that you don’t know if it’s safe. That implies a degree of uncertainty, which means that you’ll feel less uncertain—and therefore safer—if I’m not around.” When Kaveh doesn’t respond, Alhaitham adds, “I’m just making sure I understand the situation correctly.”
“To be honest,” Kaveh says, “I don’t think you understand the situation at all.”

To Dream in Shades of Green by Intensely_Reading

Summary
“There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."
“Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.
“Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”
There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.
Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

Summary
Alhaitham is just trying to survive his final year of university while juggling his secret identity as Spider-Man without jeopardizing his academic standing or dying. Simple goals. Unfortunately, his biggest obstacle isn’t a supervillain—it’s his endearingly overdramatic roommate.
Who won’t stop asking Alhaitham why he keeps coming home bruised.
And won't stop yelling at Spider-Man to understand basic architectural integrity when slamming bad guys into buildings.
(Or: Spider-Man!Alhaitham and Gwen Stacy!Kaveh)

Summary
Turns out, moving on sometimes means moving right into a very complicated, very entangled, and quite frankly, very hot, new problem.
The trinkets were nothing significant.
“Oh, this one is sweet!”
“Mm. It’s Basbousa.”
“And this? It’s—wait. Wow. The cream is nice.”
“They called it Knafeh there.”
“Knafeh… Can you get more of it next time?”
“No.”Alhathaim would proceed to bring more next time.
He’d watch Kaveh's eyes light up, and tell himself it was a benign form of closure, a distant echo of a protection he could no longer offer.
(Or: The multiverse said “heal” and Alhaitham said “fine, but I’m taking your boyfriend too.”)
