Everything I Couldn't Act My Way Out Of by arachnicality

Summary
"I want my future to look like this, with you."
In the entertainment industry, appearances are everything. For Xiao, it's a fortress of discipline and composure--an untouchable king. For Aether, it’s a golden boy persona that masks a lifetime of moving on and starting over.
Xiao doesn't like Aether. He doesn't like his effortless grace, he doesn't like his breakout success, and he really doesn't like the fact that he lost his five-year winning streak to him.
When the two rivals are cast in the high-stakes drama Shadow Ledger, the lines between their scripted animosity and their real-world friction begin to blur. Between bruised egos at award shows, shared nights together, and the crushing weight of public expectation, they have to decide what’s a performance and what’s real.
Acting is easy. It’s the truth that’s making Xiao unspool.

Summary
“In case you've forgotten, this falls under my area of expertise.” Alhaitham starts walking into the kitchen, empty bowl in hand. “I’d worry more about whether you can meet the standard you’ve set.”
The nerve!
“You haven’t won anything yet,” Kaveh calls out.
Alhaitham turns the faucet on. “I didn’t say I did. But if that motivates you to produce a result, you’re free to interpret it that way.”
Kaveh glares at his back, crossing his arms tightly. “Oh, I’ll produce a result. Just you wait.”
It’s on, Alhaitham.
Kaveh and Alhaitham on the constraints of language.

Summary
Kaveh just wanted to finish his architectural projects, pay off his debts, and maybe enjoy some alcohol without someone ruining his day.
Instead, he’s getting interrogated by an amateur kidnapper who won’t take no for an answer, playing chess with the same amateur who definitely has ulterior motives, and realizing that, maybe, he’s stumbled headfirst into a conspiracy way above his pay grade.
Oh, and the not-so-amateur kidnapper? He’s everywhere.
(Or: Kaveh makes one wrong turn and ends up accidentally kidnapped. Somehow, it's less stressful than dealing with his clients.)

Summary
“Do you need anything before I go?” asks Kaveh from the door. Really, the amount of distance he’s placed between them is unnecessary and overdramatic.
Al-Haitham makes this known by saying, “I can’t hear you from over here.”
Kaveh scoffs from where he’s leaning against the door frame. “Nice try, Al-Haitham. But I’m not risking going over there just for you to infect me with your plague.”
Al-Haitham is down with a cold and misses being near Kaveh.
