Summary
Kaveh finds himself quietly falling apart—his designs lifeless, his confidence eroded, and every project a reminder of what he fears he’s lost. When a client threatens to terminate his contract and replace him within days, the pressure becomes impossible to ignore, pushing him to the edge of abandoning not just the project, but his belief in himself.
The project had managed to open everything Kaveh would rather bury: his doubt, his pride, and the terrifying possibility that he might no longer be capable of creating something meaningful.Trying to escape only makes things worse. What awaits him at home isn’t relief, but Alhaitham, who was unwilling to let Kaveh hide behind avoidance.

Summary
Lord Kusanali was safe. Azar was exiled, Cyno and the Traveler were bouncing around Sumeru finishing off the remaining Fatui hanging around, and Tighnari had recovered from his injury. On paper, everything was going well.
So why was Alhaitham shaking as he attempted to unlock his front door for the first time in weeks?In the vulnerability of injury and exhaustion, Alhaitham can’t quite find the strength to deal with his emotions and spirals.

Summary
“Just take a bath and you’ll be fine.”
Alhaitham’s ears flattened against his head. “No.”
Kaveh watched another cloud of sand fly up from Alhaitham’s swishing tail. “Lazy kitty,” he muttered.
As soon as he said it, something in Kaveh’s head clicked. Didn’t most cats hate water? Alhaitham was technically just a big cat—
“I’m not lazy. I don’t want to get my tail wet,” Alhaitham snapped. “And I’m not getting my ears wet.”Kaveh offers to help Alhaitham wash his tail. It makes things complicated.

Summary
“Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”
A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”
Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.
What did he want?
“Have you?” asked Kaveh.
“Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.
Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”
Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.
