    Summary

    Tired of being hit on, Lu Guang embarks on a fake relationship with Cheng Xiaoshi - all while investigating a kidnapping ring, lying to everyone they know, and trying to Make More Money™.

    (A.K.A. just another typical day at the photo studio.)

    -- In which they’re both far too enthusiastic about pretend-dating, and the line between reality and fiction gets blurred

    Summary

    Step 1: Risk your spot on the basketball team by failing a class.
    Step 2: Flirt with your tutor to try to fix it.
    Step 3: Flunk the flirting and the quiz.
    Step 4: Accidentally fall for said tutor, who looks like he hasn't smiled since dinosaurs went extinct.

    Cheng Xiaoshi didn't plan on catching feelings. He just wanted to pass statistics so he wouldn't get benched from the basketball team. But now, he’s plotting regression equations and calculating the trajectory of Lu Guang’s perfect shoulders— and one of them is certainly his preferred variable in this equation.

    Or, Star Basketball Player: Cheng Xiaoshi’s got a kink for hot nerdy tutors.

    Summary

    The end, as Alhaitham had not expected, came quietly.
    Of course, there was all the tears and the screaming that came before, but Alhaitham will always remember the quiet afterwards more.
    Kaveh, standing in the doorway of what was once their home, staring at the wall with glistening eyes as he tells Alhaitham farewell for the last time. It was the first word Kaveh had said to Alhaitham in days, and it would be the last for many to come.


    Kaveh and Alhaitham do not speak for a year after Kaveh moves out.

    Summary

    Are you gloating? Are you trying to get me to leave? Kaveh wanted to ask. Do you even care?

    But that was the whole point, wasn’t it? That Al-Haitham did care. That was why he found out what he did about Sachin and Kaveh’s father, and it was Kaveh who had to come to terms with the fact that he’d been wrong.

    Do you regret staying with me?

    Kaveh swallowed. “Even…even that. I do not regret it.”

    Summary

    Tighnari introduces Kaveh to one of his forest ranger friends, who asks Kaveh out. Everyone says he should go for it, as the forest ranger is a good catch.
    Alhaitham disagrees.

    "That guy is handsome, talented, and treats me like a prince. What else could I possibly ask for?"
    “People come and people go. The one who you have to live with is yourself, and the person you’ve chosen to pledge yourself to. So do you like him?”

    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.

    Summary

    “My keys, Al-Haitham,” Kaveh says pointedly.

    “Can’t help you with that,” says Al-Haitham.

    “Incorrigible,” Kaveh spits out, retracting his hands and standing in his full, furious glory. “Ridiculous. You are such a brat, Haravatat.”

    “Hm,” Al-Haitham says, and then he turns another page in his book.

    Al-Haitham keeps hiding Kaveh's keys. It's not funny.

    Summary

    Alhaitham’s never cared about the opinions of others about him, until he meets Kaveh’s mother.

    Alhaitham also has an answer for everything, until he’s rendered speechless by the woman now sitting across the couch in his home, drinking his coffee, and it’s not like she’s done particularly anything to make Alhaitham shut his mouth. It’s just that for the first time in his life, the scribe is choosing his words carefully and keeping himself in check. He dare not embarrass himself, more so offend the woman who’s the splitting image of his roommate.

    She’s basically Kaveh in a dress and Kaveh with lipstick, and maybe a Kaveh who’s quieter and a few inches shorter in height.

    Summary

    The reinstatement of the Dendro Archon meant that those who slumbered were now granted dreams to see. Vibrant fantasies, enactments of futures impossible, imaginations that thrived free from the vice grips of reality, it was a sweet fruit that all could now partake into.

     

    And the Acting Grand Sage dreamt, but rarely. And saw nothing remarkable in those dreams either.

     

    But of course, even the sweetest of dreams only thrived in the bedrocks of nightmares.

     

    Perhaps Alhaitham did prefer the old times in some ways.

    Summary

    "How did you even learn to draw?" Kaveh asks another day, observing another drawing closely (one where he seemed to be passionately talking about something again).

    "Hm? I just flipped through a book on anatomy and got the hang of it."

     

    . . . Why did Kaveh even bother? Alhaitham was probably the kind of monster who could draw a perfect side profile without lifting the pencil from the sheet even once.

    Kaveh learns that Alhaitham liked to draw.

    Or . . . he resorted to it, for reasons Kaveh would have to piece together over pages and pages of works created with the cost of a fraction of his dignity. Hopefully, he gets his answers, before the humiliation gets to him.

    Summary

    "Why would I be worried about you?" Kaveh scoffs, crossing his arms and looking away. His eyes wander on anything and everything except Alhaitham himself.

    "You just said that I could have died if anything had gone wrong."

    "If you died, I would be stuck having to pay the entirety of the rent and the bar tab by myself."

    "I'm sure the Akademiya would end up providing some kind of compensation to you from my untimely demise," Alhaitham says pensively with a hand on his chin.

    Kaveh groans, voice muffled by his hand sliding down his own face. "Would you quit talking about your own death so casually!? Unlike you, I have some basic empathy!"

    "So you would be upset if I died?"

    "...Don't put words in my mouth."

    Summary

    Alhaitham doesn’t know why he can’t shut it out—he’s heard it all before, doesn’t care to indulge. But with Kaveh it’s like the penultimate chapter of a story, the hushed moment before the dramatic curtain opens and the final act is revealed. Simply put, Alhaitham needs more.

    So he blocks out the nose of distraction everywhere else: the Akademiya, the city streets, even his own mind when necessary. But not Kaveh. Never Kaveh.

    Kaveh's started singing around the house. Secretly, Alhaitham is listening.

    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.

    Summary

    If there is one thing Kaveh is good at, it’s architecture and arguing with his roommate. Their arguments reach a new high, when Kaveh’s latest project leaves no time for chores and their home turns into a mess of unwashed dishes and discarded sketches. Threats and snappy comments are thrown around, but Alhaitham doesn’t pay it much thought. Neither of them act on their threats anyways.

    Or at least he thought so. Alhaitham is confronted with his bitter misconception, when Kaveh doesn’t return home, after threating to move out. Only then he realizes how silent those halls feel without the lively chatter of his roommate. Shortly after, Alhaitham decides to look for his ex-roommate and apologize.

    Summary

    "You're bleeding, you know." The kid said in a raspy voice, and took a drag from his cigarette. He had a thick accent; northern British.

    "Huh?" Julian asked, snapping out of his thought.

    "Your lip." He said, gesturing to it. "It's busted."
