Summary
Kaveh angrily shoves the last of his bagel down his throat, then cracks his knuckles and positions his keyboard out in front of him.
you, he types furiously into the small comment box, are exactly the reason why so many fanfic authors quit writing. lucky for you i don’t give a SHIT about your blockheaded, extremely unqualified opinion. thanks for adding to my already massive view count!!! be sure to subscribe to get notified when i post another work!
Then he presses post and slams his laptop closed.
Kaveh deals with his #1 internet hater, FlyingVulture: some rando who reads his Deshret x Nabu fanfiction and leaves comments about how bad his characterization is.
Meanwhile, he also deals with his #1 real life hater, Al-Haitham: his roommate.

Summary
As Kaveh inspects the space that is about to become his new home, he thinks to himself that the room with those marbled counters and a familiar set of wood utensils hanging on the wall. In fact, when he squints closer, he recognizes the model of the stand mixer that’s sitting in the corner. It almost looks like—
“My name is Al-Haitham,” the man—Al-Haitham, apparently—says, and Kaveh looks at him, looks at the chest that he vaguely recognized, turns to look at the counters that he now pinpoints from motherfucking YouTube, and fully lets his jaw drop again with no regard for propriety.
Fuck first impressions. It seems that they’ve already had theirs.
“No the fuck you aren’t,” Kaveh says.
Kaveh moves into the house of his archnemesis. And then he bakes for him, as one does for their mortal enemy that they definitely don't have a crush on.

Summary
“Say, then,” Kaveh begins, the proximity between them wavers again, and Alhaitham doesn’t go looking for these things. “What are your thoughts on time travelling?”
“I think,” Alhaitham inhales very, very slowly, “besides wanting to lock you out and call every emergency number I can think of, I desperately want to travel back in time when the universe didn’t hate me and you didn’t break into my house with your dirty shoes looking like a psych-ward escapee,"
“...Okay,” Kaveh sucks in a breath, stretches out a smile, “I’ll rephrase,” And then — “What are your thoughts on time travellers?”
Alhaitham squints at him.
Or: Time traveller Kaveh, his broken time machine and Alhaitham take on Wanting. (It somehow takes more than that to talk—but nothing is going anywhere.)

His throat goes dry. “You would have done that.” He inhales sharply. “You would have done what happened on stage. Do you—do you realise how fucking frustrating that makes everything? That in some ridiculous, parallel reality all this love you have for me would have killed you?”
Ivan, Till, and love.

In which the Harbingers are all meddling uncles and aunties, and Tartaglia is the spoiled baby of the group (whether he likes to admit it or not). As uncles and aunties, how can they not intervene (read: swoop in like overprotective mama and papa bears) when they catch wind that not only is their youngest upset after his Liyue trip, but that the reason he's upset has to do with this mysterious "Mr. Zhongli" of Liyue?

Three or Four (Or Possibly Five) Easy Steps to Living Harmoniously With Your Roommate by Bgtea

Summary
The truth of the matter is, Kaveh has no idea how to read Alhaitham. He prides himself on being an expert at understanding people, his empathetic heart lending him the capacity to relate deeply with those around him (oftentimes to his detriment). But with Alhaitham, there is nothing for him to read; no clues from his cool expression for him to grasp. The man appears stoic all the time even during their petty bickering.
Honestly, when was the last time Kaveh has seen the man do anything except smirk or frown? Does Alhaitham feel happiness? Has he ever seen the man laugh?
Kaveh's mind is drawing a blank on the latter and it...bothers him deeply.
--
Kaveh devises a plan to get Alhaitham to smile by being aggressively nice to the man (and also maybe if he makes Alhaitham happy, he can score a discount on his rent or something). Alhaitham thinks Kaveh ate some mind-altering mushrooms and is, understandably, confused and mildly afraid.Series

Summary
That’s got to be the weirdest looking dog Ajax has ever seen in his life.
At least, Ajax thinks it’s a dog. It’s got scraggly little ginger tufts of fur around the neck and a strip of wild fur running down the spine like a mohawk, ending in more bushy, fluffy fur bits sprouted at the end of the tail. There are also some sort of strange protrusions from its head, like antlers, or maybe tumours? Fuck if Ajax knows, he’s not a medical professional.
But even with his lack of medical knowledge, he knows the dog-thing is in bad shape; it’s so covered in dirt and blood that Ajax can’t even tell what colour it is beneath all that grime.
--
In which Ajax finds, what he calls in his mind, a "Dog-Lizard", on his random walk around the city and accidentally becomes a pet parent without realizing he's adopted a god.

Summary
“You’re not…” Childe’s head may have been angled like a baffled puppy, but he couldn’t help it, “Put off by all of that?”
As the disk of orange dipped below the Liyuan waters and the twilight sky remained illuminated by dusky remnants of what had been, Zhongli’s golden-edged features took on a radiance of their own. It wasn’t the lights playing tricks on him when Childe saw the man’s eyes gleam, and he craved to know what that meant.
“Perhaps I give you too much credit.” He was smiling, now, and Childe’s breath caught in his throat. That was certainly new. “Maybe you do not listen as much as I thought you do.”
Childe processes just how different Rex Lapis, God of Contracts, and Zhongli, Wangsheng Funeral Consultant, really are.
They coincide at the worst of times, and it does some truly awful things to his heart.

Erosion… Childe looked up at the mountains.
Part of them still looked the same as he remembered, but the additions were what were tripping him up. It almost looked like… the erosion over time had been reversed.
Like he was in the past.
