    Summary

    “I like you,” he says and Scaramouche just breathes. “You're really pretty.”

    “You don't really know me that well, do you?” he muses and smiles a little. “A mysterious foreign exchange student. Who’s to say I'm not dangerous? Maybe I've manipulated you.”

    He smiles the entire time as he says it though, not wanting Sethos to think it might be true. It could be, but it isn't. Sethos smiles back.

    “Then I wouldn't care. I’d let myself get manipulated.”

    “Oh yeah?”

    “Yeah,” he breathes and he's looking down at Scaramouche’s lips.

    “That's not very smart,” he whispers and watches, almost in slow motion, as Sethos reaches out a hand and brushes his fingers against Scaramouche’s cheekbone. His fingers are warm in the chilly night.

    “I know,” he breathes. “I'm a little bit dumb.”

    Scaramouche learns how to let go.

    Summary

    “Why is there a letter on the table?” Alhaitham asked.
    Kaveh shrugged. “Why don’t you open it and find out?”
    “You could’ve opened it yourself,” Alhaitham retorted, bringing the mug to his lips and sipping.
    “It’s addressed to you.” Kaveh slid the envelope over to the Scribe. “It would be rude to open things that are not meant for me.”
    “Not to mention illegal,” Alhaitham added as he grabbed it.
    He tore the envelope and retrieved the letter inside, only to be met with a surprise.
    You are invited to the wedding of Kaveh and Dunyarzad—
    What.

    In which Kaveh is getting married and Alhaitham’s world falls apart.

    Summary

    When Kaveh wakes up in the morning, the first thing he hears Alhaitham say is, "Why does he always wear clothes that thin?"

    "... What did you say?" Kaveh asks.

    Alhaitham raises an eyebrow and that's when Kaveh realises that Alhaitham did not say anything at all.

    Or: Kaveh gains the ability to read Alhaitham's mind after praying to the Dendro Archon.

    Summary

    Quite honestly, Wanderer could easily sit here the entire day and find nothing else more mentally stimulating. A serene, calming place where he wasn’t to be bothered by any meddling individuals who couldn’t figure out the simplest of tasks.

    “It’s a lovely view from up there, is it not?”

    And, just like that, Wanderer’s morning was ruined.

    or: Perhaps by fate, Wanderer and Kaedehara Kazuha meet on a cool Sumeru morning. Kazuha requests Wanderer to give him a tour of Sumeru City, and Wanderer realizes this is his chance to confess his crimes and atone for his past sins. All the while, he struggles with some confusingly soft feelings he finds he doesn’t quite understand.
