    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

    “Will you allow me to ask you something selfish?” he asks quietly. “Don’t marry her.”

    Kaveh sucks in a deep breath. “You don’t understand, Al-Haitham, I—”

    “Marry me instead,” Al-Haitham says.

    In which Al-Haitham is the rich and polished bachelor of the town, Kaveh is an architect down on his luck, and all Al-Haitham wants is to make Kaveh his friend.

    Really.

    Summary

    Alhaitham has recently come to realize three things:

    1. He is in love with Kaveh.
    2. He would like to kiss Kaveh, hold Kaveh’s hand, go on dates with Kaveh, and become boyfriends with Kaveh.
    3. He has absolutely no idea how to go about doing any of that.

    Having nobody to confide in, he resorts to writing to Sumeru’s most popular advice column, The Wanderer’s Advice, for help. Before long, seemingly everyone in Sumeru City gets swept up in the story of Ardent Admirer and their clueless beloved.

    Everyone except Kaveh, for better or for worse.

    Summary

    “Prove it.”

    Kaveh paused. Slowly, he turned around. “What?”

    “Prove that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh tilted his head. “And how do you suggest I do that?”

    “Date me,” said Al-Haitham. “Prove to me that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh keeps getting broken up with and is on the verge of giving up on love when Al-Haitham propositions him.

    Summary

    The kinds of bad personalities you'd hate in real life are always extremely appealing in fiction. Or that's how Kaveh tries to defend all the fanart on his twitter account of Al-Haitham, the protagonist of the worst web novel ever written.

    Flower of Paradise Lost is a coming of age turned political drama turned stallion novel. Its lack of commitment to one genre, elementary-level prose, and terribly written characters make it borderline unreadable. Al-Haitham is its only saving grace: steadfast, handsome, and unyielding, he carries the story on his broad and sculpted shoulders.

    When the final chapter is posted, Kaveh finds himself unceremoniously dropped into the body of the scum villain that shares his name - Al-Haitham's closest friend and the one who pushes him into a portal to the abyss, corrupting his soul forever. If Kaveh followed the pragmatic protagonist's logic, he'd push Al-Haitham into the abyss without mercy - he's only a character in a novel, after all. But Kaveh's bleeding heart has always been his downfall.

    Transmigration! Romance! Endless miscommunication! It's a SVSSS AU.
