    Summary

    “You can lead the investigation, Kaveh. Just say the word.”

    “How is this even allowed? I’m a prime suspect!”

    “With a legal counsel, you’re permitted to use any means necessary to clear your name,” Alhaitham explained. “Or so the Matra guidebook claims. I’m sure that includes a formal investigation. It’s guaranteed. Tedious, maybe, but the court will allow it. With enough persuasion.”

    “Then why bother?” Kaveh asked quietly. “If it’s so tedious, why bother doing this?”

    Alhaitham blinked. “Apart from the fact that we’ve had sex before and I’m simply that nice?”

    or, the one where Kaveh (investigator) becomes a murder suspect and Alhaitham (soon-to-be-Grand-Scribe) helps clear his name. Or tries to, at least. It’s… not exactly as smooth-going as Alhaitham initially hoped.

    Summary

    Kaveh nods miserably. “It destroyed the foundation, and the entire building went crumbling a month before it would’ve been finished. Dori wanted to give up on it,” he is rambling now, words slightly slurred by the alcohol on his tongue, “but Alcazarzaray is — that Palace is not allowed to fall before I die.”

    “So you paid for it to be rebuilt,” Alhaitham says. It is not a question.

    “It was either pay for it,” Kaveh mutters, “or die before it could finish falling. And I don’t want to die.”

    Kaveh's skin is made of porcelain, and Alhaitham suddenly learns how to sculpt.

    Summary

    Al-Haitham shrugs, looking at Kaveh like he’s the crazy one. “Why would I prioritize being tired when I do that every night?”

    “Prioritize over what?” Kaveh asks, trying to stay as patient as he can.

    Al-Haitham blinks. “Mmh,” he hums, then laughs softly to himself, ducking his head down to his chest. It’s a gentle thing — almost delicate. Kaveh hasn’t seen him do that in… a long time. “I think if I start talking, I won’t be able to stop.”

    kaveh knows, on some level, that decay is not supposed to last this long

    Summary

    Kaveh—
    You promised you would be back three months ago. Your room is collecting dust and your plants are dying.
    Al-Haitham

    Kaveh moves to the desert. He is not quite ready for what awaits him there, nor is he prepared to leave behind what tethers him to the forest.
