    Summary

    With a cheerful beep, Mehrak releases the claymore, letting it clatter harmlessly to the floor.

    Neither of them speaks.

    Alhaitham stands motionless at the edge of the bed, eyes still fixed on the fallen weapon. Above them, Mehrak hums contentedly, hovering like nothing had happened.

    “Explain,” Alhaitham demands.

    Kaveh has recently moved back in, but the relationship between him and Alhaitham is still strained. When he overworks himself and falls ill, it's up to Mehrak to defend his master against the evil Alhaitham.

    Summary

    News reaches him in a hushed murmur, muttered into errant ears, lips hidden behind ink-stained hands.

    Alhaitham drowns them out, the majority of rumors that circulate the halls of the Akademiya, but something about this one catches his attention, bypasses his earpieces, stutters his steps. It’s a name: bitter and familiar, like coffee that scalds the tongue and invigorates the mind. Kaveh, they whisper.

    Well, why listen to a rumor without verifying the validity yourself?

    Summary

    A fundamental shift occurs; Alhaitham isn’t sure of its timeline—sometime vaguely in the weeks after Kaveh’s graveyard visit—nor the exact reason for it. Perhaps it's related to the volume increase of Kaveh’s smiles, or the way he’s taken to tucking some of the flowers behind Alhaitham’s ear when he dozes off reading, or a decrease in that bitter undercurrent behind their arguments.

    All Alhaitham knows is something is happening that he has little familiarity with, and the unease that’s come along with it is just as startling as the problem itself:

    He’s losing control.

    ❁❁❁

    Alhaitham didn't expect he'd be the one to make the flowers bloom.

    Summary

    When Kaveh discovers that Alhaitham has been reading a book about human sexuality and kinks, he generously offers to assist Alhaitham with some sexual exploration. It’s a risky proposal, and one that could end very badly—thanks to their falling-out years ago, the two of them have trust issues galore.

    But it turns out that Kaveh and Alhaitham are surprisingly good at trust and communication when it comes to sex…which raises some questions about the nature of their relationship, and where exactly this whole experiment is leading them.

    “Look,” Kaveh says, “if you’re going to approach sexual pleasure like an experiment, most potential partners won’t take too kindly to the idea of you having sex with them for science. Therefore, to spare all the poor people you’d inevitably insult in your quest for data, I am willing to be that person.”

    “How charitable of you,” Alhaitham says.

    “And I assume that you’re somewhat comfortable with the idea of having sex with me,” Kaveh adds, “or else you wouldn’t have been so willing to have my fingers in your mouth just now.”

    Summary

    Late at night, when he's drifting off to sleep, Alhaitham sometimes wonders what Grandmother would think.

    She never knew of his Eleazar. During her final months, he came down with a fever. He saw a doctor not because he felt all that unwell, but because he was her sole caregiver and he didn't want to give her an infection.

    The diagnosis shocked him, but it made sense in hindsight. The muscle aches and tremors that he had chalked up to stress then painted a different picture. And over the coming weeks, a patch of skin on his chest developed the signature scaling.

    There was no point in telling Grandmother. It would have distressed her greatly, and there was nothing she could have done to change anything. She died as peacefully as it is possible to die, as she deserved, and he mourned her and the future he'd imagined for himself.

    Or: an Alhaitham Eleazar AU
