    Summary

    It is precisely three-fifteen when Alhaitham’s world tips twenty degrees off its normal axis.

    It is three-fifteen when Alhaitham excuses himself from work early for the first time in years, collects his key and Kaveh’s that’s still tangled up with his, and makes haste heading home before sunset.

    i’m moving

    Alhaitham receives news and goes through the five stages of grief. Or, Kaveh says he's moving, and Alhaitham realizes he can't move on.

    Summary

    “This way, Arakasyapa show you. Nara-friend sad.”

    “Sad?” Alhaitham asks, following along behind the forest creature, watching as the orange leaves on its head bounce with every step it takes. “What do you mean by sad?”

    “Nara-friend sad, drink lots of funny smelling water, now can’t move. Need Nara-Haitham to make happy again.”

    ***

    What if the reunion between Alhaitham and Kaveh that fateful night at Lambad’s Tavern was brought about by a particular little forest creature instead of purely by chance?

    Summary

    Al-Haitham’s hand comes up to hold onto Kaveh’s. Within minutes, his breathing evens out and deepens in his sleep—only broken intermittently by his wheezes in between. Kaveh continues combing through Al-Haitham’s hair, up and down and up again. He slides his fingers through his bangs, rubs away the slight wrinkle near his brow, trails his fingers down the bridge of Al-Haitham’s nose, and traces over the curve of his cheek.

    Al-Haitham shifts, mumbling in his sleep—hand tightening over Kaveh’s wrist.

    Something painfully warm clicks in the softest parts of Kaveh’s heart.

    (Love, in the form of unconditional touch.)

    Summary

    “She’s all alone, Haitham. She has no one to care for her, no home, and we don’t even know if the word on the back of her neck is her proper name.” He met Alhaitham’s eyes, his own wide with fear and uncertainty. “You gave me a home,” he spoke so quietly that Alhaitham strained to hear him, “Can’t we give her one too?”
    -
    Kaveh returns home early from a desert expedition with a child he found in a cave. Not wanting to abandon this girl who has clearly been abandoned before, he asks Alhaitham to help him do one thing: Give her a home.
