Summary
Kaveh and Alhaitham discover some explicit fanfiction - accompanied by 'Bunveh' art - about the two of them. In true scholarly fashion, they provide full-scale literary and artistic critiques of the work... after establishing a solid real-life reference for accuracy, of course.
Lips parted into a frozen 'O' and mouth suddenly very dry, Kaveh released Alhaitham’s wrist and snatched the paper to read it more closely.
Each line was filthier than the last.
“... Oh,” Kaveh eventually croaked, skimming the page and staring blankly at the messy handwriting.
Alhaitham was glaring at the ceiling, arms crossed over his chest - though he hadn’t shoved Kaveh off of his lap as he would’ve expected him to by now. “Yeah. Oh.”
“Their grammar is atrocious,” Kaveh breathed, unable to think of anything else to say.

Summary
“We may have a problem.”
Kaveh tilts his head. He follows the grout-line between the tiles with the sole of his shoe subconsciously, grounding himself in the repetitive motion.
Nasir continues with a sigh. “It seems that the Acting Grand Sage intends to decline our request for funding.”
“Ah. That’s… unfortunate.” Kaveh speaks slowly, carefully concealing his initial reaction. This isn’t the first he’s heard of this, but he didn’t consider it to be an actual, real possibility. He’s both shocked and utterly unsurprised at the same time. “But what does that have to do with me, specifically?”
“You know the Acting Grand Sage, do you not?”
A simple question with a complicated answer.
Kaveh is tasked with securing the funding for Kshahrewar from the Acting Grand Sage. Things get complicated.

Summary
(A tongue licks its way into his mouth, searing his with a touch so molten that it feels like a brand. A starved man is consuming him.)
When he had told Alhaitham in the study last night that he hadn’t experienced any out of the ordinary dreams since the terminal's shutdown, it hadn’t been a lie. He simply hadn’t expected to eat his own words so soon after.
(And he absolutely had not predicted that the very same night he would be plagued by detailed figments of his imagination that he swore still lingered on his skin like a specter.)
So what if he had dreamt of having sex with his roommate? Certainly it would be a one time anomaly.
Or, Kaveh has explicit dreams about Alhaitham and struggles with the startling (not so new) revelation that sometimes, you don't choose the person you fall in love with. It just happens.

Summary
Scoffing, Kaveh mumbles, “Is there anything you don’t know, oh great Scribe?”
His hands play with the hem of the shirt before slipping underneath to find the bare skin of Kaveh’s toned abdomen. Alhaitham knows of the stars and the blood-stained past of their land. He knows of legends, myths, and truths. He knows of archons and devils. Alhaitham is a wise man with extensive knowledge on many things and he has never been shy to show it.
“If only you knew how little I know about the things that matter."
or, Kaveh sought out warmth on cold nights and it turned into something more.

Summary
I love you, Kaveh thought, and vaguely noticed a shooting star in the sky.
I wish that I could forget you.Kaveh wants the pain from his (apparently) unrequited love for Alhaitham to go away. Accidentally, his wish comes true.
“You would’ve never called me Acting Grand Sage and meant it. Perhaps sarcastically, or mockingly, but never… never what you’re doing now. Like that’s all you see me as.”
Alhaitham mourns someone who is still alive.
Animated version of this story is now up on Youtube here!

Summary
“Maybe I’ll find someplace better,” he knows there will not be another place that fits him better than here, where Alhaitham is.
“Does it come with someone better, too?”
Alhaitham sounds almost vulnerable, as if he’s had half a mind of worry that someday, Kaveh will leave and settle for something better, something and someone he actually deserves.
“If so… Are you going to stop me?"
Alhaitham and Kaveh enjoy their day off together.

Summary
Arrogant, self-centered, and selfish, that's what his partner is. Kaveh is relieved that they are almost done with the project that they were assigned to work on together. Of all students from the Darshan of Haravatat, why did he end up getting paired with someone who's basically the epitome of everything that irks him?!
Kaveh is sure that he doesn't want to work with Alhaitham ever again. So when he suddenly finds himself waking up ten years into the future married to the said man, he is in complete denial.

Summary
“Simple set theory,” Alhaitham says, nodding. “Unless (A) equals (B), set (A+B) will always be smaller than sets (A) and (B) separately. I am aware of that, yes.”
Kaveh clicks his tongue. “Well, I hope you are also aware that with all these requirements, you don’t get a set (A+B), or even (A+B+C). Yours is a set comprised of the entire Sumerian alphabet!”
Kaveh has had enough of Alhaitham always loitering around the house. In an attempt to get Alhaitham to go out more often, he jokingly tells him to start dating someone. Much to Kaveh’s shock, Alhaitham agrees—and promptly assigns him as his personal matchmaker. And even though Alhaitham’s requirements for his ideal partner are annoyingly specific, Kaveh refuses to back down from a good challenge. He’s confident in his abilities—that is, until his own feelings start getting in the way...

Summary
"Senior Kaveh! You're early today."
"Of course, I was the one who asked to meet, how could I be late?" Kaveh said, a smile automatically forming on his own face.
"I don't know, perhaps you got distracted by another fraudster, asking 'Oh Lord Kaveh, will you build me a house'?"
"It was that one time," Kaveh said, his cheeks burning slightly. "You just happened to find me at a bad moment."
"Certainly, certainly," the scholar said, mirth in his eyes, “How could anyone possibly fool the great Light of Kshahrewar?”There's a visiting scholar following Kaveh around, all smiles and sunshine, and Kaveh finds himself torn between his lingering unrequited feelings for a certain someone and this bold newcomer.
But Kaveh starts to realise something strange- Alhaitham never appears at the same time as the other guy.

Summary
Kaveh has no idea what to do with this silent, compliant Alhaitham. If anything, he knows for sure that a compliant Alhaitham for no apparent self-beneficial reason is a fundamentally wrong Alhaitham. And that by itself is enough cause for worry.
or: Alhaitham doesn't know how to conventionally comfort people, and Kaveh can't recognize when he's being cared for.

Summary
“I can take care of myself just fine. I don’t need you or anyone else for that matter.” Kaveh said, turning his nose upwards and his body away, already preparing to exit the conversation. “I’m going to my room, I’ve reached my limit for how long I can put up with you.”
“If it’s really such a bother, perhaps you’ll finally move out of my house.”
“You’re insufferable and I resent you greatly.” Kaveh added quickly before very dramatically walking to his room and slamming the door behind him.

Summary
Kaveh regrets ever accepting this new commission. It is not the pay nor the project itself – both are to the architect’s satisfaction. No, the problem is the client and her obsession with Kaveh.
She believes them to be “destined for each other” and takes Kaveh’s rejection as playing hard to get. In his desperation Kaveh lies about having a boyfriend, a certain scribe he shares a home with and is oh-so madly in love with. Now he has to convince Alhaitham to play the part, when his client insists on meeting the “love of his life”.

Architectural Integrity by MrAlcazarzaray (SpadeNoir)

Summary
Kaveh prides himself on being a loyal individual. He's loyal to his career as an architect, even if his debts make him wonder why he bothers with the low cuts he earns from his commissions. He's loyal to his friends, always willing to show up when they need him. He's even loyal to his no good, down right awful, boyfriend. Well, ex-boyfriend. A bad breakup, news of cheating, and a night of drinking leads to revenge being served.
Too bad he didn't realize that his one-night stand was about to be his boss for the foreseeable future. Surely this won't come back to bite him later, right?

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.
