The Bar Closes at 100 Seconds to Midnight by theunbearablelightnessofbeeing

Summary
Damian Desmond wakes up with a hangover, a migraine, and an elevator intercom that cheerily informs him he’s dead, which is certainly a bold claim to make before breakfast.
The afterlife is a cocktail lounge. The bartender is Anya Forger, the girl he bullied, secretly loved, and spent six years destroying himself over after she was murdered. She doesn’t remember him. Instead, she offers him drinks, stickers, and no explanations. He offers the emotional stability of a rotting bookshelf.
He’s not ready to choose his next life. He’s not ready to let go.
He’s definitely not ready to fall in love with her all over again.

Summary
What a stupid disease, Damian lamented, moving past denial of his circumstances and straight into resentment. The cure was equally stupid.
There were a few options to rid oneself of hanahaki, the first and simplest being that the sufferer could overcome their romantic feelings. Otherwise, they could make an unambiguous declaration of love, and if the recipient accepted, the sufferer would be healed. The latter choice was high-risk, it specifically required the sufferer to confess their feelings at the cost of the disease worsening should their love not be returned.
The third option was only a cure insofar as amputation is a cure for a broken finger, not an option anyone with any sense would dwell upon.

Bookmarker's Notes
'Damian’s muscles tense up and he refuses to stand closer to that family. He doesn’t need anyone.
(That’s because he doesn’t have anyone.)
There’s no one next to him, and Damian thinks he doesn’t care. The weather’s pretty warm, yet he’s somehow shivering. He stares at his shoes. They look unreasonably small. He feels unreasonably small.
The cameraman tells them to smile. Damian thinks he does, but he doesn’t really remember. His cheek hurts from moving it, so smiling hurts.
If he looks to the right, he can see that commoner girl and her parents on the right end of the front row. Fitting how they’re situated completely opposite of him. He feels an odd stab in his heart when even that commoner girl has parents that came with her. That damned commoner girl who can see right through him and make him feel raw and exposed. She’s the only exception and Damian can’t help but be interested in her.
… It’s weird. Damian has his high status, he has everything, but he also lacks what everyone else has.
And it’s fine. It’s fine. It’s really fine because no matter what happens, Damian is still a Desmond. He still has his status and one girl cannot change that. He’s strong, he’s independent, and he’s fine. He really is!
The wind blows past him, carrying the chatter and laughter from the other families, and Damian suddenly shudders. He stands there, hands shoved in his pockets (because Mother’s not there to tell him off), and puts on a perfect expression of nonchalance even as his cheek throbs in pain.
… All things considered, Damian likes to think he’s doing pretty good on his first day at Eden.
(In the end, Damian muses, he’s a liar just like his father.)'
FAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Summary
Kaveh decides, finally, that enough is enough. Perhaps it's been a long time coming, and all it took was Al-Haitham doing the unforgivable. (Again.) You'd think that someone who makes a living (or tries to) off of building and planning—not to mention the oldest of the friend group—would have some sense of direction in his life. But here he is, with no parents to turn to for help, next to no mora in his pocket, and no idea what to do next.
At least, not until the resident Sweetheart of the Zubayr Theatre, out of the goodness of her heart, offers him a room for the night.

Summary
Mehrak sleeps between Kaveh and Nilou in their bed. Kaveh is not exactly happy about it.
Ah, yes. Me. My girlfriend. And

Summary
Nilou has the tendency to avoid scholars. There's no surprise in that, considering their views on art can get... Rather disrespectful.
Kaveh, however, doesn't fit the bill.

Summary
There's no use in marveling at wit between the sharp teeth when it bites the hand that feeds it knowledge. Kaveh always believed his sharpness started and ended at the tip of his tongue.
Nilou pays Kaveh a visit after Interdarshan Championship.

'Nilou was a vision of kindness inside a cruel world. So effortlessly beautiful, so easily dismissed.' to know people like this GOD

Summary
“Don’t give me that look.”
She shut her mouth right after, dreadfully watching Kaveh's in fear of his smile fading. But it was still there, sun winking at her from the corner of his eyes and setting the scene ablaze. Nilou might as well dance with the flames. “What look?”
Nilou runs into Kaveh while rehearsing a dance. He watches.

Summary
Nilou closes her eyes, finally finding the melody inside to follow. She heard that name before, too. Kaveh. A bright Akademiya graduate. Light of Kshahrewar.
She's never seen him before or even caught enough chit chat to even begin to imagine how he looks like — but somehow its enough for her to find a kindred spirit buried under the dust of heavy titles Akademiya so dearly loves.
What Kaveh may create with pens and pencils, Nilou does with her footsteps.

Summary
“Not at all.” Nilou's face softens. “But I do want a favor.”
“A favor?”
There's a pause. Nilou shrugs off something he can't quite catch off and reaches her hand out in front of his startled expression. “I want you to take a break.”
Kaveh blinks.
Then blinks again, slower.
Then the heat coming from his neck creeps up, exploding all over his face.
Kaveh attempts to drown his sorrows in a bottle, but a chance meeting with Nilou sends all his plans crashing down under the weight of simple kindness.

Bookmarker's Notes
'“Oh, I see.” Kaveh feels the immediate want to grab the nearest bottle and send it straight to his face. Why would Nilou ever fall to his lows? Such a grotesque scenario of getting drunk to the point of unconsciousness can only get close to his reality. “You have to wait for it now, huh?”'
oh.

Summary
Kaveh's fists are too weak to hold onto the bitterness. Maybe because he's growing old and soft. Or maybe Nilou didn't shift her eyes and he felt a little too understood to put up a usual fight.

Summary
People come and surely they go
Flowers wilt and surely they growAfter hanging out with Kaveh for the first time, Nilou suddenly starts to cough up flower petals. She then finds out she has Hanahaki Disease and only has about a month left to live. However, there is one cure, one that could jeopardize her budding friendship with Kaveh.

Summary
Summertime stretches on the palms of her hands, weaving golden threads of sunrise through her fingers. She carries the sun on her head and the moon in her smile, leaving a trail of stars on the horizon of a stage. It's a whole new universe, one that Kaveh steps into with all the hesitant admiration on his feet. Watching the constellations and making out the ways of travel. It's pointless, really. All returns to float around her orbit.
Kaveh is bewitched. Completely and utterly.

Summary
Kaveh used to keep it on his sleeve, fragile and unprotected, already adorned by many ugly cracks that people so carelessly left as the only reminder of them ever being here. Heavy and useless. Too much to bear.
Nilou's hands seem like a much safer place.

Bookmarker's Notes
'Kaveh knows love comes in all shapes and sizes.
He's used to measuring it with walls and high ceilings, crossed out lines on paper and hopes of a lifetime stored in the first bricks. One that lasts forever. Beyond death, above ashes and dust left of him when they cover the blanket grass around a piece of his heart.
