Summary
Alhaitham really liked his routine. It was easy to follow and predictable. Everything was always in the right place, where it should be.
When he returned home today, he expected the usual dinner with a side of playful banter.
He didn't expect this.
Kaveh was standing in the living room, surrounded by suitcases and boxes. He was filling one of them with what little books he had, taking them one by one off of their shared bookshelf.
Alhaitham felt like someone had poured a bucket of ice cold water over him.
He changed his mind. Today was a bad day.

In which Alhaitham returns home with matching coffee mugs only to see Kaveh packing his bags.- Language:

Summary
Under the pale moonlight, a long braid of silver hair, decorated with vibrant flowers, swayed with him to the singing of the Aranara. The ankle-high water shimmered and wavered as he danced. By his lips was a wooden flute that he held skillfully in his hands, singing a wordless ode.
Kaveh observed, completely captivated and breathless by the ethereal sight.
–
In another world, Alhaitham was never a student who was destined to become the Grand Scribe of the Akademiya. Instead, he walked a different path worth protecting.

Summary
“What do you do with the flowers?”
Al-Haitham paused. “What do you mean?”
“Like, what do you do with the flowers you cough up? Do you keep them or…?”
He furrowed his eyebrows. “What—why would I keep them? I obviously throw them away. Why are you asking?”
“I was just wondering—I mean if you’re not using them—like, if I could possibly…have them?”
Al-Haitham stared at him incredulously. “You want my unrequited love flowers?”
“Yes?” Kaveh flushed red. “Since…since you’re not using them.”
Since you’re not using them—
“What the hell would I be using them for? What the hell are you using them for?”
Al-Haitham has Hanahaki disease and coughs up mourning flowers. Kaveh asks if he can use them for his ascension materials.

I Accidentally Became The Grand Sage And Adopted A God?! by BirdlikeCat
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
Alhaitham's stressful work life takes a sudden turn when Lesser Lord Kusanali herself appears in his office at 3 a.m., with a seemingly infinite amount of questions about human families.
In the midst of an overworked, sleep-deprived haze, Alhaitham ends up impulsively inviting the apparently homeless Dendro Archon to live in his house.
Is our favorite Acting Grand Sage really cut out for parenting the immortal God of Wisdom? Maybe not, but he's certainly going to try his best!

I wrote the first chapter in one sitting after consuming way too much caffeine. This was originally a one-shot, but will now be multi-chapter. As per usual it was not beta read. Enjoy!

Summary
“Sir, kindly do not obstruct us,” says the matra sharply. “We are in the midst of carrying out an arrest.”
“An arrest?” repeats Kaveh, incredulously. “You’re arresting him? You’re arresting him? Why, what in Teyvat has he done?”
The Archon Rescue Operation is going as smoothly as it possibly can — that is, until Kaveh returns prematurely from his desert trip, and runs into Alhaitham at the absolute worst possible moment.
Of course he would.
