    Summary

    He knows what Daniel is about to say before he begins.

    “Yeah, hey listen. I got some fact checking to do—”

    “I’ve told you, Daniel. I’ve given my story. He can give his. I declined to participate in this documentary—”

    “I watched you feed on Armand in Dubai, right? I’m not making that up?”

    Louis’s hands pause. That wasn’t what he was expecting at all.

    Or

    For 114 years, Louis had an aversion to drinking Lestat's blood, but not for the reason Lestat thinks. Daniel reaches out to Louis for a fact check.

    Summary

    After nearly a decade of pining, Alhaitham finally decides that he’s had enough of waiting and decides to flirt with Kaveh.

    And what better way to confess than using his knowledge.

    After all, as a scholar—Alhaitham did not study 20 languages before graduating for nothing.

    Or Five times Alhaitham flirts with Kaveh using endearments in languages he doesn’t know, and one time Kaveh has had enough of Alhaitham ‘insulting’ him and decides to investigate.

    Summary

    Alhaitham does not get drunk.

    Kaveh has known him for a long, long time, and he has never seen the man drunk.

    Alhaitham doesn't get drunk, until he does, and Kaveh has to deal with the repercussions of Aether's impressive ability to put away drinks.

    Summary

    “It reminds me of you,” Al-Haitham says, slow and pondering as it is certain, and Kaveh almost topples over right then and there when he realizes that it had only taken work and meal times and sleep to tear Al-Haitham out of this room where he’s perpetually surrounded by the sweetened remembrance of Kaveh built up around him. It’s perhaps one of the most romantic things he could have said at the moment in that understated and yet viciously evident way of his.

    God, Kaveh wants to say. Don’t remind me of how much I love you, Al-Haitham.

    Summary

    Kaveh stares at the neatly packed bento box laying before Al-Haitham, housing neatly sliced vegetables and glistening, fresh rice.

    “Who made you that?” Kaveh asks, not bothering to hide the vengeance in his voice. “Your work husband?”

    Al-Haitham lets the fork go slack in his hands and just stares at him. “Kaveh,” he says, in the sort of tone someone might say dude.

    “Don’t dude me,” Kaveh says, aghast.

    Kaveh is interested in discovering who Al-Haitham's elusive work husband is. Al-Haitham is only interested in Kaveh.
