    or: A little spin on the Irminsul burning down. With my own twist. You’ll see.

    Summary

    "You are a marvel, not in just the matter of integrity and knowledge, but in your presence and physical beauty as well. Though, I am not the type to hold a high importance in such a thing. Even if you weren't crafted by the loving hands of Aphrodite herself, you would still steal the breath from my lungs each time you smile. And perhaps, in such a case, death by suffocation would not be so terrible.

    Regardless, I have much more I wish to tell you, however I'm running out of room on this paper and it is dangerously close to my bedtime as I write this."

    Summary

    Jahoda stared at her, incredulous. “You’re— you’re jealous?”

    “I am… unfamiliar with that term’s sensation,” Ineffa said carefully, “but I believe it applies.”

    Jahoda laughed once, incredulously, not cruelly, but from disbelief. “Archons, Ineffa, you’re impossible! You can’t just— you don’t feel things like that. You’re a—”

    She stopped herself before saying the word machine, but the silence finished it for her.

    The faint glow behind Ineffa’s eyes dimmed. “I see.”

    Or: Sometimes Jahoda wishes she could shut her big, stupid mouth. Luckily, Ineffa has a way of shutting it for her.

    Summary

    “I thought you said you could resist me.” Kaveh playfully knees Alhaitham in the stomach with a teasing expression.

    Alhaitham tries to think of an excuse. He really does. But with Kaveh staring at him with reddened lips, his chest still heaving from the previous events, all he can admit is, “I lied.”

    People tend to wonder how Alhaitham can resist Kaveh. The answer is that he can't. Rather, he fails miserably trying.
