Summary
He straightened his back, adjusting the scarf around his neck and then stuffing his cold hands in the pockets of his coat. His smile was as genuine as they got those days, as he took a step back and deeply inhaled the crisp air.

Summary
Series: AU/Canon divergent from Chapter 228. Allen and his hodgepodge band escape their pursuers only to face unbelievable truths, long odds, and the near-end of the world. Nea is still a nuisance, Cross is still an asshole, and the past is a tangled web of lies. But first things first - Lavi needs rescuing. Rated M for depictions of torture, gore, violence, and language. Eventual Lavi/Allen.

Summary
“Himeko, am I…” Welt sighs and takes off his glasses to rub the bridge of his nose, unsure how to finish that sentence. Imagining things? Reading too much into this?
“A dirty old man?” Himeko's smile blossoms into a grin as Welt splutters.

Summary
"I thought you said just one spar?" he questioned instead.
"One spar for me to see how you fight. And just one, because I knew you wouldn't agree to anything that takes more time than that. You're probably mentally calculating time left even now, trying to figure out when you can get back to your books, correct?"
"As much as your assessment would usually be right," Alhaitham replied, "you are entirely wrong in this case." He stepped closer; close enough to place a hand under Cyno's chin, to gently coax him to look up. "Contrary to what you seem to think, I like spending time with you."
... or a look at the early days of Cyno and Alhaitham's relationship.

Summary
Venturing into the desert after runaway thesis students is, unfortunately, a normal part of Cyno's job. The same can't be said of Alhaitham, feeble scholar extraordinare, and yet he's here anyway. It's an addition Cyno doesn't need, no matter how helpful Alhaitham can be, but though the company's better than expected, the complications only get worse from there.
