Summary
Kaveh angrily shoves the last of his bagel down his throat, then cracks his knuckles and positions his keyboard out in front of him.
you, he types furiously into the small comment box, are exactly the reason why so many fanfic authors quit writing. lucky for you i don’t give a SHIT about your blockheaded, extremely unqualified opinion. thanks for adding to my already massive view count!!! be sure to subscribe to get notified when i post another work!
Then he presses post and slams his laptop closed.
Kaveh deals with his #1 internet hater, FlyingVulture: some rando who reads his Deshret x Nabu fanfiction and leaves comments about how bad his characterization is.
Meanwhile, he also deals with his #1 real life hater, Al-Haitham: his roommate.

Summary
And once they’d deepened their acquaintance, it’d been even harder for Tighnari to be afraid of Cyno. Because—well, how could he be afraid of someone who tells the worst jokes ever uttered aloud, who adores Genius Invokation TCG with all the passion in the world, and who grumbles about the impracticality of poorly-designed tableware?
Or rather, how could he not love him?
what it's like to be in love with the general mahamatra.

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
“A Vahumana student came up to me this morning and asked why she saw you leaving my house.”
“So?”
“So,” Alhaitham continues, “you always make such a big deal about hiding the fact that you’re freeloading off of me—”
“I am not freeloading—”
“—so I decided to respect your wishes and instead told her that we’re in a relationship.”
Everyone thinks Alhaitham and Kaveh are dating. Obviously the only solution is to stage a public break up.

Summary
Dear Al-Haitham,
I propose that we meet this Friday at sundown on the southeast edge of the city bordering Avidya Forest. This is a marital engagement. Please come prepared with your sword at the ready.
With spite,
Kaveh
Al-Haitham sets down the letter, letting out a long sigh. After all, isn’t the answer to dealing with domestic disputes not marriage? Isn’t that entirely contradictory to the issue?
Kaveh sends Al-Haitham martial summons to sort out their issues. Unfortunately, he makes a small error in the letter.

Summary
It’s hard to pin down anything about this spritely little bard, his will and way of living as buoyant and flighty as the wind he used not to govern. But if Diluc had to hazard a guess, he’d say the odd behaviour started when he officially began allowing Venti to spend his nights at the Winery. More specifically: to spend them in Diluc’s room.
Next to him, in bed.

Or, Diluc accidentally makes a housewife out of a former Archon and has to deal with the consequences.Series

Summary
“Simple set theory,” Alhaitham says, nodding. “Unless (A) equals (B), set (A+B) will always be smaller than sets (A) and (B) separately. I am aware of that, yes.”
Kaveh clicks his tongue. “Well, I hope you are also aware that with all these requirements, you don’t get a set (A+B), or even (A+B+C). Yours is a set comprised of the entire Sumerian alphabet!”
Kaveh has had enough of Alhaitham always loitering around the house. In an attempt to get Alhaitham to go out more often, he jokingly tells him to start dating someone. Much to Kaveh’s shock, Alhaitham agrees—and promptly assigns him as his personal matchmaker. And even though Alhaitham’s requirements for his ideal partner are annoyingly specific, Kaveh refuses to back down from a good challenge. He’s confident in his abilities—that is, until his own feelings start getting in the way...

Summary
Five times Alhaitham shows affection in public while they're not even together, and one time Kaveh does.
Just a very very soft, short fic that I've been wanting to finish for a while now. It's honestly just me being self indulgent and also feeding my friend. Enjoy.

Sara writes in quick, deliberate strokes, as if she's afraid someone would catch her. What was she trying to hide? Everyone knew about the Tengu and Oni's exchanges on the boards around Inazuma anyway.
Or, everyone in Inazuma knows something is going on between their resident rivals, except the resident rivals in question.

Summary
[“That was a good one.” Itto walked back until he was looming over her. Too close, her inner voice screamed. “But you’re not getting out of my sight from now on!”
Sara sighed deeply. He was wearing the same face of every time when he challenged her to a duel, one that has “not giving up” written all over it. She knew that she can’t throw him off without throwing a few incapacitating punches, but a part of her didn’t want to do that.
“Fine. Just shut your mouth or I will punch you.” And as usual, Itto dismisses the threat and smiles triumphantly.
Oh, how she hates that smile, and yet her heart still flutters from it.]
When Sara finds out that Itto had feelings for her, and that she also held feelings for him too.

Summary
“What do you mean?” Lisa asks, spinning around, face bewildered. “You and Amber aren’t dating?”
Eula clears her throat, feeling heat on her cheeks. She lowers her eyes to the floor so her blush won’t be so noticeable. “No,” she says. “We aren’t.”
There is such a long stretch of silence that Eula looks back up at Lisa in confusion and a little bit of challenge. “…Oh,” Lisa says finally. “I’m sorry, dear, I just assumed.”
And Eula would gladly leave that topic alone forever, but there’s something bothering her about how Lisa says it, how certain she was that she was right.
“Does everyone think that?” she asks, fighting to keep her voice level, even though her heart is racing and she feels slightly faint.
Lisa hesitates just long enough to confirm Eula’s fears.
“Oh, archons,” she says, absolutely horrified. “Oh, no.”
or, everyone thinks eula and amber are dating. gay panic ensues.

Summary
“I’m going now,” Kaveh murmurs. He moves closer to his roommate—hair brushing cheek, fingertips grazing shoulder—and his lips pull into something of a smile. “Good night.”
Alhaitham watches him collect his keys from the bowl and disappear into the doorway, red cape plumed against the dusk. He frowns. Something about Kaveh has unsettled him today.
A Kaveh with his edges blunted, without a retort at the tip of his tongue? No. He’s seen that before, time and time again. He’s known that version of him for years: Kaveh at midnight in the library, eyelids heavy with sleep. Kaveh in letters, over all the mundane things. Kaveh inside their kitchen, making them breakfast.
But this is different now. Something new curls between the two of them, nudging at their yearslong rhythm. Something has changed.
Or: Three times Alhaitham does not reciprocate (?), and one time he does.

Summary
After a particularly perilous fight that leaves Shadowheart far too close to death for comfort, she comes to a decision.
An idiotic, unthinkably painful decision, but a path forward, nonetheless.
She needs to become better at physical combat, fast.
And, fortunately or unfortunately, she has recently made a tentative 'truce' with an obnoxious yet admittedly adept Gith Warrior who for some ungodly reason seems to always erect her tent right across from her own.
Well. Let's see if Githyanki can be trusted on their word. Or, even better...coerced into a mutually beneficial arrangement. She's certain there's something she could offer the Gith. Twist to her advantage. If this could also make Lae'zel more bearable, all the better for her.
Lady of Sorrows guide her. How badly could this go?

Summary
“You’re acting odd.”
It is Kaveh, not Alhaitham, who says such a thing a week later over breakfast. Alhaitham does not look up from his book but does offer a muted ‘hm’ as a response. Apparently, it is unsatisfactory to Kaveh, who crowds his space and nudges at the offending object.
Alhaitham sees Kaveh collecting flowers one morning on his way to work. Alhaitham, despite his own good sense, assumes the worst. Eventually, they get there together.
