Summary
And you know, fine, Al-Haitham is good-looking. But Kaveh’s matured since his early twenties. These days, on nights he can’t sleep, he imagines the kind of relationship where he and his partner schedule twenty minutes every Saturday to air out all the annoying shit the other did that week, or the kind of relationship where he’s the third thing his partner sees each morning after the pillow and the clock on the far wall. And Kaveh could never attain that sort of peace with someone who believed that his proudest work wasn’t true art because it was indulgent to the whims of the people.
Or: the very niche Glenn Gould & Leonard Bernstein AU. Kaveh’s an orchestra conductor who writes musicals on the side, Al-Haitham’s a controversial pianist, and they argue over artistic philosophy for several thousand words.

Summary
Retrospection is not for the visionary. Not for the game changers, the world shapers, those who will be remembered in textbooks and biographical movies. Nobody goes down in history for being a loving husband who always took the trash out without being asked to.

Summary
Lan Zhan stops before him, standing stiff and straight. He meets Wei Wuxian’s eyes—glaring! He’s glaring at Wei Wuxian! Wow, he hasn’t done that in a while! “I spoke with Lan Jingyi today.”
“Okay,” Wei Wuxian says, arching his eyebrows. He knows Lan Jingyi can be a handful, but really, he’s not that bad. “I’m sorry?”
“He told me that you have not been eating.”
Wei Wuxian chuckles. This is not the appropriate response.

I like how the author dealt with wwx's food issues. Some things were pointed out to me: for one, I originally passed off the peanut scene in the first episode as insignificant enough to not be included in any fic. And I never thought about something similar to the hiding food scene occurring (edit: months later, i am so grateful to this fic for educating me a bit more.) The bone scenes were horribly wonderful. Finely characterized, full of good details.

Summary
“Fucking Gilfoyle…”
Dinesh’s mouth dragged the words out, rolling them on his tongue, testing the latency, as if he was plugging in an old, dated machine.
The man by the door turned around.
"Chugtai", he said. Dinesh was still having trouble figuring out if it was really Bertram Gilfoyle in there until he heard that voice. The flat, emotionless tone was the same. The eyes too.Bookmarked by lynxlaurel

love this fic so freaking much. one of my favorites ever. the canon divergence is done so well!!!
this fic is just so real and honest and awkward!! it's so organically funny, and dinesh's kid is so cute, and they're so domestic and the vegan bacon, it's just AAHHH!! ❤️❤️❤️
"He thought he would be great with kids, he liked video games and cartoons and all that. He wasn’t prepared for a jock. At least it wasn’t a girl. He had long talks with Aleena during her pregnancy about how he was not prepared to face how hypocrite he would be defending a girl from the type of men he has been for the most part of his life." like omg 😂😂😂
