Summary
“Whyever in the world would you be retiring? You’re barely thirty.”
“Extenuating circumstances,” Alhaitham says. “I wanted an opportunity to get my affairs in order.”
“Your affairs? What, are you—”
“I’m sick, Kaveh. Haven’t you noticed?”
“The coughing. Sure.” Kaveh swallows, then keeps talking like he didn’t just exhibit such an obvious nervous tell. “So, you’re sick. Is that any reason to upend your life? I understand needing to take the time to get better, but—”
“I am not going to get better. I am going to get worse, and then I am going to die,” Alhaitham says plainly.

Dear Advice Column: What Do You Do When You Think Your Archon is Your Love Interest's Daughter? by Dracoduceus

Summary
Kaveh walked toward Alhaitham’s room and stopped. The door to what had once been his room but was given to an archon pretending to be a little girl was open.
The pile of stuffed animals was gone, including the giant red vulture named Dook-Dook and the large round plushie of the Golden-Winged King and the long plushie of Yanwang Dijun.
There were no clothes in the laundry basket, no clothes in the drawers when he opened them, no trinkets on the shelves, no books, no pieces of art from daycare. The room was a blank slate, with a bed and a very generic blanket and set of sheets on it, as if it hadn’t been lived in for months.
As if Nahida hadn’t existed at all.
He should be happy to see everything returning back to normal, but all Kaveh felt was empty.
----
It's a long road to recovery, but Kaveh isn't sure that there's any forgiveness left.

Summary
People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.
There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.
Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

Summary
Alhaitham’s constellation finds its home on the bony edge of her shoulder, where he supports her when she sways. Six dots in a shade of turquoise and a hawk mid-flight.
“My little bird,” his grandmother had said to him as they admired the design, heads pressed together in the mirror. “My little hawk, I always knew you would grow to be strong.”

There are things you miss about the countryside when you’ve been cooped up in the city for years, things you forgot about in the bustle of life that’s always moving, moving, moving.
Kaveh can't remember the last time he heard the sound of his own heart, thudding this loudly in his chest.

Summary
Kaveh scoffs. “Oh, please! Us as best friends? Nobody would believe it. You might as well have us pretend to be lovers!”
He waits for Tighnari and Cyno to roll their eyes or shake their heads or say, Haha, good one, Kaveh, we should get you a stand-up comedy show in addition to all your amazing gigs. He doesn’t expect them to exchange a serious look.
To convince the public that they don’t hate each other, famous actors Kaveh and Alhaitham pretend to be in a relationship. Too bad they actually hate each other.
At least, Kaveh thinks they do.

Summary
“I’m an angel,” the angel says, doing jazz hands a little pathetically. “It means I’m here to save you. Don’t you remember me? We met that day in the records room, but I understand if you don’t remember. You were a little distracted.”
“I was a little distracted being stabbed,” Al-Haitham says unbelievingly. “Also, angels aren’t real.”
In which Kaveh is an angel, Al-Haitham is a disgruntled working man, and this can't end any way but badly.

Summary
Kaveh is no stranger to the desert. He has been running from himself all his life, and the desert knows that better than any person could. His spiraling inevitably leads to the championship and back to the desert. It must be destiny. He is prone to making self-destructive decisions, and this is no exception. He has always been a painful thing to witness, but no one can pull him from a curse he's placed upon himself, no pity can ever be his salvation. You can only lead a horse to water, the horse must choose to drink or die of thirst.
There are no rules that govern when or how a life ends. There is no procedure to finality beyond its ubiquity. Naïve child, you, too, will fall to dust. The desert is a graveyard and one day your bones will join the sand.
or: love, forgiveness, the things we don't say, and the merciless seas of sand

Summary
Kiyoomi closes his eyes, slowly. He prays that the ground opens up and swallows him whole. He prays that a whole earthquake rocks Tokyo and brings the place down on him, specifically. He prays that some higher power decides to strike him with lightning right this minute.
“Actually,” he says, grinding it out through clenched teeth, “you haven’t seen any other kids around, have you?”
It's Kiyoomi's last resort to ask a stranger for help finding his sister's missing kids, but it's not like this night can get any weirder, and Miya Atsumu's kind of hot.

Oikawa is nine when he first hears the word. The boys on the playground whisper it like it's dirty, like the way they daringly mutter the word fuck and then look over their shoulders to check their parents hadn't heard.
"You know Abe-kun from class?" they snicker, hands cupped around their mouths like they're passing along a filthy secret. "I hear his older brother is... gay."
