Summary
if we die at the same time, does it still scare you?Perhaps it was his damned luck, Aventurine thought to himself. And he should’ve known better, that this kind of love — the type that comforted him, benefitted him — could never have found him without him needing to pay some kind of price in return.
Mother Goddess, he prayed silently, a warm tear tracing the side of his face. Please let this be real, because I don’t think my heart can handle this being a dream.

Summary
Having a rough day and taking care of yourself afterwards is hard. Wanting to take care of the person you love while they're also hurting is even harder.
Or: Ratio comes home ready to scream and cry, but ends up settling both Aventurine and himself into a bit of calmer self care instead.

“Doesn’t matter how smart or careful you are, Doctor.”
“It most certainly does matter. Had I paid more attention to my surroundings rather than being an-”
“Don't tell me — even the eminent Dr. Veritas Ratio has fallen victim to the myth that 'things like this' could only ever happen to 'people like that'?"

Summary
“Hey, are you even listening to me? This is important, Alhaitham. If you don’t feed this starter it will die and I’ll have to start from scratch.” Kaveh huffed, stomping over to Alhaitham and tapping on his earpiece where he knew the noise cancellation control was. A trick he learned after countless times fixing the headset for his roommate. “I put my blood, sweat, and tears into that sourdough starter, Alhaitham. Don’t let it die.”
Sunset eyes flicked up to stare at Kaveh boredly. “I’ll try.”- Language:

deep blue (but you painted me golden) by Babenclaw for mechanicaltrees

Summary
There had been a time in his life where he could not imagine bathing in a cold river in the early twilight of evening. But then again, the Kaveh from before would not have had the confidence to imagine a great many things, so perhaps the water flowing around him is the least of his concerns.
- - -
Alhaitham is the Prince of the Zora and Kaveh is, very decidedly, not the Champion Hero everybody is talking about. (And all the better for it. Kaveh's pretty sure Alhaitham isn't interested in that kind of excitement. Not when his alternative is a lazy tour of Hyrule with his very pretty traveling companion.)

Summary
“I’m in love with you. Isn’t that pathetic?” Kaveh murmurs into his ear. He is laughing—harsh and discordant and bitter.
“I’m in love with you, and I’m dying,” Kaveh rambles. “You’re killing me, Alhaitham.”
(Kaveh contracts hanahaki. He and Alhaitham deal with the consequences.)

Summary
“No– I just— I ran into this… this plant and it’s– I’m… I need you, Kaveh,” Alhaitham chokes out, breathless.
Kaveh blinks in surprise, mouth parting as he thinks over what Alhaitham just said. Was he affected by an aphrodisiac? Kaveh can vaguely recall Tighnari mentioning something about certain plants having this effect on people, but he’s surprised Alhaitham managed to find and be attacked by one.
His moment of hesitation earns another quiet whine, and Alhaitham moves to grip Kaveh’s hips, bruisingly tight. He lurches forward, burying his face into Kaveh’s neck, breath scorching hot as it fans across his skin.Alhaitham encounters a plant in the woods, and Kaveh suffers for it.

Summary
Alhaitham’s jaw tightens, arms crossed over his chest. “Leave then, if that’s what you truly want.”
“Okay, I know you like to think you know better than me, but you could at least pretend to be happy for me.” Kaveh waves a hand in the air with a dry laugh. “Rejoice, even! You’ll have the house all to yourself now. I’d say that’s a cause for celebration.”
“You’re many things, Kaveh, but I never thought you a fool,” Alhaitham’s voice is cold, yet it simmers with temper. A dormant volcano.

To Dream in Shades of Green by Intensely_Reading

Summary
“There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."
“Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.
“Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”
There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.
Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

10 Signs Your Rishboland Tiger is in Heat and How to Fuck Him Out of it by xAstrophels for 1mb

Summary
“I’m not sick,” Kaveh ends up mumbling out, more slurred than he intends. It’s all he can manage. His head is still spinning and, leaned up against Alhaitham’s shoulder like this, he feels like his heat might actually start any second. It hasn’t yet, it’s still preheat albeit teetering on the edge of becoming full-blown. “Not sick, I’m… I’m going into heat.”
Or Kaveh is a Rishboland Tiger; he goes into heat and Alhaitham offers to help him.

Summary
Once, Alhaitham's grandmother gave him a journal, to help him ask and answer questions he wasn't sure how to ask.
In the end, it becomes about the question--and answer--that is Kaveh.

Summary
After the Inter-Darshan Championship, Kaveh finds himself haunted by nightmares, and the only thing that seems to help is having Alhaitham in the room with him.
Truly, it's convenient for both of them; Alhaitham no longer awakens to Kaveh's terrified screams, and Kaveh gets a proper night's rest.
The cuddling is just an unexpected bonus.Bookmarked by mechanicaltrees

Kaveh returns from a trip in the ruins in the late hours of the night, and slowly finds out that maybe, maybe it hadn't been an ordinary trip in the desert.
