    Summary

    With a heavy sigh, Kaveh buried his face in his pillow. All of his romantic ideals, as usual, were quashed by the one man he actually yearned for such affections from - a marriage for the sake of fucking tax deductions.

    Though it made sense in a cold, rational way, such a logical and disinterested proposal for Kaveh to willingly sacrifice his heart for nothing more than mora cut deep into his chest. And worst of all... Alhaitham was unaware that Kaveh’s heart could never even belong to anyone but him - that he was already the sole benefactor of Kaveh’s silent longing, having stolen Kaveh’s heart against his will long ago.

    Kaveh curled around his pillow as if the soft cotton of his pillowcase could offer a reprieve from the turmoil churning deep in his stomach. He’d long since made peace with his unrequited love for Alhaitham, resigning himself to a lifetime of suppressed yearning - but this? This was torture, plain and simple, demanding mental gymnastics that Kaveh wasn’t confident he was flexible enough to contort himself into.

    Summary

    “I’ve designed many buildings in my career,” Kaveh begins, the attention of every single person in the crowd fixed on him. “Most of which have been extravagant pieces made to stand tall in our city and glitter.”

    Kaveh glances down at what must be some notes on the podium, pausing before he looks back up, shining in the bright lights of the stage.

    “But in recent years, I must admit that my focus has shifted.”

    Alhaitham leans forward, watching, hoping for something he can't quite admit. Not when the truth is that he’s never known how to say that he is hungry without fear that people will see the truth that he is starving.

    Or, a year after the events of the Interdarshan Championship, Alhaitham finally retires

    Summary

    “Wait! Aren’t you going to tell me your name? I’m Kaveh.”

    Shoulders stiffening at the sound of his name, the mercenary halfway turned his head, as though glancing at Kaveh out of the corner of his eye.

    “Alhaitham.”

    Kaveh can’t quite figure out the Eremite he hired to guide him through the desert. Alhaitham’s refusal to answer any questions, and his apparent talent for speaking a dead language, makes him all the more interesting…and infuriating. Kaveh’s curiosity about what secrets Alhaitham is hiding might just be the end of him.

    After all, curiosity is often the most dangerous thing in this land.

    Summary

    His father sends him a letter the second Tuesday of every month. Same address, same farewell, same awful insinuations and critique wrapped up in pleasant cordialities if you didn’t know the man who penned them.

    Ambrose keeps answering them.

    After all, he’s the good son of the good Margrave Gautier. It wouldn’t do for him to be ignoring the regards of his own dear, esteemed father. He should have known that even the holy halls of Garreg Mach wouldn’t extend beyond his father’s reach.

    Something to remedy, of course.
