    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

    Kaveh sighs again, and this time his features knit together and he squeezes his eyes shut. “Can you stop being clinical for two minutes and hear what I’m actually asking you?”

    “I am listening.” It’s true. “And I do understand.”

    “Do you, now?”

    “I do.”

    Kaveh pinches the bridge of his nose. The frustration there isn’t feigned or overblown—it’s real, deep in the lines of his face and the tension drawing his shoulders. “I’d want you to be here,” he says again, but quieter.

    “I will be here,” Alhaitham answers. “And it’ll be with the cure.”

    When an expedition gone wrong leaves Kaveh with three days to live, Alhaitham and Cyno fight to find the cure while Tighnari fights to buy them time.

    Sometimes it does take a village.

    Summary

    They quietly fit pieces together for a few minutes more before Nahida speaks again, not tearing her eyes away from the challenge. "You love him."

    "Yes," Al-Haitham confirms.

    A pause, and then an amendment. "You choose him."

    "Yes. And he chooses me."

    "What a wonderful thing to be wanted," Nahida says wistfully.

     

    Kaveh and Al-Haitham, on wanting.

    Summary

    Kaveh smiles up at the stranger. "Sorry, he's right! I am taken. By him. But he doesn't know it yet."

    What.

    "Wait, what did you mean by that?" Al-Haitham asks faintly.

    "Oh, that?" Kaveh scoffs. "You're a little dense. Obviously, I meant exactly what I said. I wouldn't want to be kept by anybody but you."

    "But we are—" Al-Haitham trips over his words, trailing behind Kaveh as he walks purposefully through the city. "We aren't. Together. Neither of us has confirmed anything of the sort."

    Kaveh gives him a derisory look. "And what, we don't act like it? Some things don't have to be put into words to be understood. Ah, I forgot. Haravatat. You probably wouldn't accept anything else any other way."

    "It is not logical to make assumptions without empirical evidence."

    "You scholarly types," Kaveh mutters. "Always so particular."

    So. Al-Haitham is in love with Kaveh. This has got to be somebody's fault.

    Cue the five stages of grief.
