Summary
“Just take a bath and you’ll be fine.”
Alhaitham’s ears flattened against his head. “No.”
Kaveh watched another cloud of sand fly up from Alhaitham’s swishing tail. “Lazy kitty,” he muttered.
As soon as he said it, something in Kaveh’s head clicked. Didn’t most cats hate water? Alhaitham was technically just a big cat—
“I’m not lazy. I don’t want to get my tail wet,” Alhaitham snapped. “And I’m not getting my ears wet.”Kaveh offers to help Alhaitham wash his tail. It makes things complicated.

Summary
Kaveh read through the unfinished letter quietly, tapping his fingers on the desk with a hum. Alhaitham took the opportunity to hug him properly, pressing a tender kiss to his jaw.
Or: the context behind Alhaitham’s letters to Paimon.

Summary
"You don't have to sell it to me anymore," Alhaitham said. "I'm already here."
"Good boy."
Alhaitham froze mid-step, the branches slipping from his hands and tumbling away from the pile he had been aiming for. For some inexplicable reason, the air felt suddenly warmer—and his pants uncomfortably tighter.
What the—
"…What?"
He turned toward Kaveh, his thoughts still caught on that peculiar choice of words—only to find him crouched beside the dog, scratching it between the ears as he retrieved a small piece of wood out of its mouth and added it to their growing pile.
Oh.
Or
A dog helped Alhaitham discover something interesting about himself.

Summary
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Kaveh mumbles, without opening his eyes. He’s been reading, too—or pretending to, which is more likely, because the upside-down architectural plans on the table have not moved in half an hour, and his pencil is behind his ear instead of in his hand.
“I’m not,” Alhaitham says, too fast. Which is absurd. Of course he is. The entire point of his visual cortex is to perceive the world around him, and unfortunately, the world currently includes Kaveh. Shirtless. Glowing. Freckled.
“You’re making that face again,” Kaveh says, one eye cracking open, voice annoyingly smug for someone still half-asleep. “The one where you’re trying to suppress an emotion and failing.”
“I don’t suppress emotions,” Alhaitham replies. “I manage them. Responsibly.”
Kaveh snorts. “Oh, is that what the internal aneurysm looks like? Good to know.”
In which Kaveh weaponizes freckles and Alhaitham forgets the scientific method.

Summary
Water. Cold, heavy, dark. A burning, in his throat and lungs. A song echoes below Kaveh, akin to the mournful call of a whale. The singer's voice is eerily familiar. Scales brush against his skin, the song pausing long enough for a single phrase, whispered in Sumerian:
"How has realizing your ideals gone for you?"
Kaveh's unlikely friendship (and subsequent fight) with Alhaitham, a mer from the deep sea, leads to what might be the ocean's worst roommate situation after Alhaitham saves the architect from drowning. Kaveh, now stuck in an unfamiliar body and location, has to deal with the fact that he might not be able to return to his life on land.
