Summary
Kaveh has achieved so much today, it should be fine to do this much for himself. It should be fine to enjoy this much. There is absolutely nothing that Al-Haitham could possibly do to ruin this day!
Of course, this is when Al-Haitham chooses to walk in covered in blood.
Kaveh has enough troubles on his plate even without dealing with his confusing relationship with and unfortunately lingering feelings for his stubborn, infuriating roommate. But when a strange conspiracy begins closing in on Al-Haitham and threatening the precarious balance of their daily lives, Kaveh finds himself having to reevaluate the nature of their relationship and reckon with the ghosts of the past.
-----
There’s never really a good time, way, or reason to tell Kaveh about his long-lived, amoral, exiled, criminal ex-partner — who, Al-Haitham will note, was not any of those things at the time they were involved.
However, there is definitely a worst way for Kaveh to find out.

Summary
“I’m in love with you. Isn’t that pathetic?” Kaveh murmurs into his ear. He is laughing—harsh and discordant and bitter.
“I’m in love with you, and I’m dying,” Kaveh rambles. “You’re killing me, Alhaitham.”
(Kaveh contracts hanahaki. He and Alhaitham deal with the consequences.)

What if we fell in love? by Intensely_Reading for kirishit

Summary
“Excuse me. May I sit here?”
Al-Haitham looks up. He watches the student’s red eyes darken with recognition. Unfortunately, Al-Haitham recognizes him too.
“Would you leave if I said ‘no’?” Al-Haitham asks.
And just like that, the student is sliding into the seat, flipping up the desk and pulling his tablet out. He shoots Al-Haitham a glare just as the professor starts lecturing.
(Al-Haitham, Kaveh, and the three semesters in between.)

If love was a place— by Intensely_Reading for Ae_rynn

Summary
Al-Haitham’s hand comes up to hold onto Kaveh’s. Within minutes, his breathing evens out and deepens in his sleep—only broken intermittently by his wheezes in between. Kaveh continues combing through Al-Haitham’s hair, up and down and up again. He slides his fingers through his bangs, rubs away the slight wrinkle near his brow, trails his fingers down the bridge of Al-Haitham’s nose, and traces over the curve of his cheek.
Al-Haitham shifts, mumbling in his sleep—hand tightening over Kaveh’s wrist.
Something painfully warm clicks in the softest parts of Kaveh’s heart.
(Love, in the form of unconditional touch.)

Reasons Not To Rub An Oil Lamp In A Ruin by TeapotAlchemist
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
Immediately following the events of the Interdarshan Tournament, Alhaitham goes out to seek Sachin’s research and find answers for Kaveh regarding his father’s death. While he’s going through journals, he finds a note that leads him to a secret study hidden in the sands, and becomes trapped inside of an unlikely device used for defense.
Unsure if he will escape the trap, he comes to terms with another side of his feelings towards Kaveh, not knowing that the Architect is undergoing a similar change of character. Upon reuniting, years of repressed curiosity and emotion break through the surface as the two men set their pride aside. -

“Kaveh,” he confirms. “He is renowned in his line of work for his skill and passion.”
Lord Kusanali nods as if he had proved one of her silent queries. “I was hoping he would lend me a hand with this project,”
“I’m sure he would be honored,” he says earnestly.
She smiles, cheeks dimpling. “Do you really think so?”
Alhaitham smiles back, small, easy. “I know him quite well."

Or, the one where Alhaitham is terribly, terribly in love with Kaveh.

Summary
“The report from the messenger they sent ahead was that the victim was a younger man with blond hair and a red cloak.”
Alhaitham ignored the uneasy feeling in his gut with an ease born from years and years of practice. “You think it might be Kaveh.”
“I do.”

When an accident with a leyline somehow fractures Kaveh's personality, Alhaitham steps in to repair the things that have been broken.

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
"I'm home!" Sing-songs Kaveh from the front door, as if Alhaitham wouldn't hear his key in the lock, or his sturdy, nimble footfalls on the warm wooden floors as he pivots barefoot into the study to deposit his briefcase and belongings, before stripping off his shawls. Alhaitham knows him by the low rustle of linen, the silky shhick of voile. He knows him by the warmth that radiates off his skin, by the tingle at the back of his own neck when Kaveh's eyes are on him.
Kaveh comes home to find Alhaitham crying. The unexpected occurs.

Summary
Kaveh goes on. Alhaitham probably isn’t even listening to a single word but Kaveh has been particularly proud of his work. It’s not the Palace of Alcazarzaray but it has the potential to even surpass it with some more work put in. The plot of land is optimal and gives him much room to work with. The client’s budget is also a dream for someone with visions like his. He may have to hire Liyue’s artisans but hopefully that won’t be an issue.
When Kaveh finally finishes, an hour has passed and Alhaitham has finished his food while some of Kaveh’s still remains. He turns to Alhaitham and finds him staring straight at him.
“Let me guess, you were waiting for me to finish so you can tell me you couldn’t care less.”
Alhaitham shrugs. “I was waiting, that part is true. But it’s because I want to ask you on a date.”
~
Alhaitham has never been one to beat around the bush but a frank confession like this is something Kaveh has never expected of the scribe, least of all a confession to him. It tilts his already-unstable world off its axis, leaving him to desperately figure out his footing lest he falls again. After all, he's not sure he can get back up this time.

Summary
One of the ways Kaveh shows his kindness is through his hands.
Al-Haitham has seen it many times over. The man would offer them to stumbling children or elderlies who struggle in carrying their groceries at the market, would hold them out in readiness whenever a cat is stuck in a tree, and would move them in grand gestures as he explains complicated calculations to scratching heads students. His hands are always open, always moving as if this way the light he houses can pour out in streams and touch everything and everyone.
(Kaveh is kind. He wears his heart on his sleeve and shows it with his hands. Al-Haitham is not an exception to this part of him.)

Logical Deduction of Value by BeyondTheClouds777

25 Mar 2023

Summary
Kaveh sighs again, and this time his features knit together and he squeezes his eyes shut. “Can you stop being clinical for two minutes and hear what I’m actually asking you?”
“I am listening.” It’s true. “And I do understand.”
“Do you, now?”
“I do.”
Kaveh pinches the bridge of his nose. The frustration there isn’t feigned or overblown—it’s real, deep in the lines of his face and the tension drawing his shoulders. “I’d want you to be here,” he says again, but quieter.
“I will be here,” Alhaitham answers. “And it’ll be with the cure.”
When an expedition gone wrong leaves Kaveh with three days to live, Alhaitham and Cyno fight to find the cure while Tighnari fights to buy them time.
Sometimes it does take a village.

Summary
Kaveh smiles up at the stranger. "Sorry, he's right! I am taken. By him. But he doesn't know it yet."
What.
"Wait, what did you mean by that?" Al-Haitham asks faintly.
"Oh, that?" Kaveh scoffs. "You're a little dense. Obviously, I meant exactly what I said. I wouldn't want to be kept by anybody but you."
"But we are—" Al-Haitham trips over his words, trailing behind Kaveh as he walks purposefully through the city. "We aren't. Together. Neither of us has confirmed anything of the sort."
Kaveh gives him a derisory look. "And what, we don't act like it? Some things don't have to be put into words to be understood. Ah, I forgot. Haravatat. You probably wouldn't accept anything else any other way."
"It is not logical to make assumptions without empirical evidence."
"You scholarly types," Kaveh mutters. "Always so particular."
So. Al-Haitham is in love with Kaveh. This has got to be somebody's fault.
Cue the five stages of grief.

Summary
Kaveh gets lost in the desert, goes into heat, and gets found by the one person who can't know what he is, or: Kaveh's No Good Very Bad Day.
“You’re not carrying me,” he says with a weak kick.
Alhaitham stops and lets his own legs take his full weight again; Kaveh’s ankle does something terrible for his self esteem and then he crumples almost to the sand before Alhaitham’s arm catches him again. One arm, because that’s all he needs to take Kaveh’s weight. He’s such a show off for a man whose ass never grew in. “Fuck’s sake,” Kaveh mutters to himself.
“You were saying?”
“Just—go.”
Alhaitham snorts. “Am I your servant now?”
“Yes,” Kaveh snarls.

Summary
“—In addition to the Mora owed, and being provided with housing, I’ll also pay off your outstanding debts.”
That sounds far too good to be true. Kaveh frowns. “All this, for a painting? What’s the catch?”
“On top of the portrait I’ve commissioned…” Alhaitham pauses, “Well, I want you to pretend to be my mate.”
