    Summary

    Kaveh begins to learn that coming to terms with his neurodivergence does not make him any less neurodivergent, but Alhaitham is there to catch him when he falls.

    Summary

    “You’re drunk,” he accuses, barely believing it even as the words leave his mouth.

    Alhaitham never gets drunk to the extent that Kaveh can smell it on him. Ever. But it’s as clear as day in the way he’s holding himself, the way his eyes struggle to focus, the flush on his cheeks, the smell of his breath.

    Kaveh is the one person in Sumeru City who is most likely to be able to call someone’s bluff when they’re hiding intoxication, so the fact that Alhaitham shakes his head stubbornly at the accusation almost makes him want to laugh. It would have made him laugh if it didn’t make him want to cry.

    Everyone has a limit to how far they can stretch themselves, and going beyond that limit has serious consequences. Alhaitham doesn't tend to approach that limit very often, which makes it all the more dangerous when he's pushed past it.

    Summary

    Summary

    When Alhaitham gets advice on how to dress from the owner of a certain curatorium in Nod-Krai, everything that has remained unspoken and unacknowledged between him and Kaveh is suddenly unveiled in all of its glory.

    Summary

    "The crown is heavy, and the weight cannot be borne alone," he says finally, releasing his sword and resting his hand instead against the door that separates them. Not to push it open, though it would take only a gentle nudge, but to feel the barrier. To remind himself that it’s there.

    Kaveh's padded footsteps approach the door slowly, and Alhaitham quickly jerks his hand back.

    "Loneliness has a heavy weight of its own," Kaveh agrees quietly. He’s right up against the wood, Alhaitham can tell by how close his voice is. "And a gilded cage is still a cage."

    Childhood friends separated by royal society's rules and expectations learn to navigate their feelings for each other amidst the chaos of a collapsing kingdom.

    Summary

    Kaveh has never met anyone more persistent than Alhaitham. No matter how many times he shows him his sharp spikes, puts up his walls and covers them in barbed wire, Alhaitham always comes barging right through as though his skin were made of diamond. He always finds the weak spots, the places with a little bit of give, and pushes hard enough to crumble Kaveh’s defenses entirely.

    It’s infuriating, frankly, that he has no idea what kind of danger he’s in.

    A vampire is a monster by definition, some would say, but words have different meanings depending on who's using them.

    Summary

    Usually, when the two of them are having drinks, Kaveh will be the one getting shitfaced, but today is different. They’re at home, in their bedroom, sitting on the bed facing each other. Kaveh holds a glass of water, and Alhaitham the stem of a wine glass.
