the do's and don't's of having a roommate by littlemisswhimprone
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
12 Jan 2024

Summary
Five things to do and five things not to do if your roommate happens to be Kaveh, the Light of Kshahrewar. A very detailed list made by none other than Acting Grand Sage Alhaitham of Sumeru. (Since he is the only one who has any experience in this field whatsoever. But do listen to him. He knows what he's doing.)

Summary
Of all the letters he writes — words he dreams of saying, that he’ll sooner die than admit to — the ones addressed to Kaveh are the most common. He’s written, of course, to the world at large and the Sages and his grandmother, too, but the thing is — his letters are where he stores the human embarrassing, vulnerable parts of him.

Summary
Al-Haitham hums, sitting back in his seat. His eyes get that look they always do when he's thinking– at least that had stayed the same– before he put his hands in his pockets.
“You can stay with me, if you'd like,” he says all too casually as he pulls a hand back out his pocket. “For the time being,” he adds on a little too quickly, “until you manage to get yourself out of the mess you’ve made.”
Kaveh was about to open his mouth to protest. Like he'd ever take an offer from him, especially with that attitude.
But then Al-Haitham slides a key across the table to him–golden, with emerald embellishments, a carbon copy of the soulmark on Kaveh's arm– and the words on his lips dissipate into the warm tavern air.

Summary
Alhaitham has recently come to realize three things:
- He is in love with Kaveh.
- He would like to kiss Kaveh, hold Kaveh’s hand, go on dates with Kaveh, and become boyfriends with Kaveh.
- He has absolutely no idea how to go about doing any of that.
Having nobody to confide in, he resorts to writing to Sumeru’s most popular advice column, The Wanderer’s Advice, for help. Before long, seemingly everyone in Sumeru City gets swept up in the story of Ardent Admirer and their clueless beloved.
Everyone except Kaveh, for better or for worse.

Summary
“Prove it.”
Kaveh paused. Slowly, he turned around. “What?”
“Prove that you won’t fall in love.”
Kaveh tilted his head. “And how do you suggest I do that?”
“Date me,” said Al-Haitham. “Prove to me that you won’t fall in love.”
Kaveh keeps getting broken up with and is on the verge of giving up on love when Al-Haitham propositions him.

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
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
“I’m glad you’re okay,” Al-Haitham says, throwing a sideways glance at Kaveh as he turns back towards his stack of essays. “It would’ve been pretty embarrassing to die in a library.”
“Fuck you,” Kaveh coughs.
“Sad and alone,” Al-Haitham drones, “amongst rows of old, racist philosophers.”
Kaveh groans, finally having caught his breath for the most part. “You,” he says, his voice still raspy, “are the most annoying person I’ve ever met.”
Al-Haitham snorts. “An honor.”

Summary
“Archons preserve my patience,” Tighnari groans, massaging his temples.
“You split your household chores. You bring him his lunch at the Akademiya daily. Alhaitham looks after you when he thinks you’re sick. You two have weekly dinner dates. Kaveh, you do realize that with the list you’ve given me you’re both just a signed document short of being legally-wedded spouses, right?”
“Perhaps Kaveh’s just ‘twisted up’ after they’ve unknowingly ‘tied the knot’.” Cyno muses thoughtfully.
Silence.
“... Did you get it? Because they’re practically married? And Kaveh’s—”
“Cyno, qamari, I adore you, but finish that statement and you will find yourself exiled from my bed for the next month.”
Cyno wisely snaps his mouth shut.
(Or, after the Interdarshan Championship, Kaveh finds that his living situation with Alhaitham has become… peaceful, more or less?
But why? Nothing’s changed between him and his stoic junior. He simply prepares Alhaitham’s meals, sees him off to the Akademiya, takes care of their home, arranges his schedule so he doesn’t miss their weekly dinners at Lambad’s—
But that’s completely normal roommate behavior.
… Right?)

Summary
Mehrak may not be the smartest piece of machinery out there, but it is nothing if not devoted to its creator. Anything Kaveh asks of it, Mehrak will perform to the best of its capabilities.
One day, it finds itself presented with its greatest challenge yet: to make Kaveh “happy”.
In which Mehrak mistakes a throwaway comment from Kaveh as an order and does everything in its (regrettably limited) power to fulfill it. When it realizes that Kaveh’s happiness could lie with a certain roommate, it intends to throw everything it has into playing matchmaker.
(And if it learns a little bit more about itself along the way—well, all the better, right?)

A Treatise on Architectural Irrationality (or, How to Lose All Credibility in One Paper) by the_untamed_poet25

Tags
Summary
Tighnari rubs his temples. “Kaveh, let me get this straight—”
“No.”
“—you found an entire research paper on yourself, meticulously detailed to the point of insanity—”
“It was deranged,” Kaveh mutters, because he can’t stop thinking about it.
“—and instead of taking it as an obvious sign of obsessive, ridiculous, incomprehensible love, you screamed at him and then ran away.”
Kaveh slams his drink down. “OH, I’M SORRY, WAS I SUPPOSED TO KISS HIM?”
Or, the fine line between academic debate and love confessions, and how Kaveh and Alhaitham are failing to recognize it.

Summary
Alhaitham purses his lips. “What did you say your name was again?”
“I didn’t,” says Kaveh weakly. He swallows.
Okay. There are two options here.
Option A: Tell the truth. Yeah, uh, hi. I’m Kaveh. I’m your roommate. Um. We slept together last night. Hopefully this doesn’t make things weird! Nice to meet you!
Option B: Run.
Kaveh is horrified to find out that his one night stand is actually his elusive new roommate.

To Dream in Shades of Green by Intensely_Reading

Summary
“There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."
“Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.
“Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”
There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.
Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

Summary
“Coming!” Al-Haitham calls, navigating the maze of packing peanuts and crates. He undoes the latch on the door and lets it swing open, fully expecting to see the bearded face of his landlord only to be met with the vermillion-eyed face of somebody he had given up hope on seeing for the rest of his life.
There’s a long moment of silence. The aching swell of Vivaldi in the background and the rushing in his ears like the ocean waves.
“...Kaveh?”
Kaveh, globally-renowned musician, disappears off the face of Teyvat. Five years later, he shows up outside of Al-Haitham's door with no explanation but to ask for a bed to sleep in.
It's fine. They only have thirteen years of history, after all.

Yae Miko's Newest Novel: I Adopted an Archon and I Didn’t Know It by Dracoduceus for ShittyHero
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
11 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
There was a child on the divan.
She didn’t look particularly old, perhaps five or six, with startlingly white and silver hair tipped with green. Her eyes were intensely green and though she seemed surprised to see Kaveh, her smile was sweet. “Hello,” she said. “Are you Kaveh?”
“Um,” Kaveh said eloquently. “Yes?”
Kaveh comes back from a trip into the desert for inspiration and finds out that Alhaitham's daughter will be staying with them for an undetermined amount of time.
He's perfectly normal about this.

Summary
“Why did you want to talk to me?”
“Maybe I was feeling nostalgic. Or maybe I just missed you. Is that so unbelievable?”
This version of Kaveh, Al-Haitham is familiar with: maudlin and pathetic. “It’s been years,” Al-Haitham says evenly. “I thought you got over me when you stopped sending me those terrible voicemails.”
Kaveh drops his head onto the table with a thud. “Don’t remind me."
Al-Haitham hasn't spoken to Kaveh in seven years. One night, Kaveh appears in his dreams.

Summary
The toddler began to cry, and then he started to cough from trying to cry too hard, snot dripping down his face. Another adult came hurrying over to help him to his feet before they went inside to head, presumably, to the nurse’s office.
Loud, chaotic, dirty. Everything that went against Al-Haitham’s standards.
“Working here as what?” Kaveh blinked. “Like admin or something? That’s probably quiet and far enough from kids for you. Though—”
“No,” interrupted Al-Haitham. “I don’t.”
After getting fired from a prestigious architecture firm, Kaveh moves back to his hometown to raise his five-year-old brother only to find that an old college "acquaintance" is his little brother's kindergarten teacher.

Summary
It’s quiet. There’s no birds, no sounds of the distant cars or the planes or the noisy people that she’s accustomed to. There’s the tide kissing up against the shore, but it doesn’t brush anything onto land with each movement that it rises, which is equally just as unusual. The best way to describe where she finds herself is ‘dreamlike’. It looks like the middle of the day. It’s clear outside.
Probably not shocking that the embodiment of her father’s mind represents the ocean. Of course it would.

Jolyne looks through her father’s Memory DISC in the hopes of discovering why things had turned out so poorly.
