Summary
“Lie down, you need to rest.”
Alhaitham does, obediently resting his head against the pillow. He tugs at their joined hands. “Kaveh. Stay with me?”
There’s something hollow making itself at home in Kaveh’s chest. Alhaitham is not in his right mind, but that doesn’t stop the thrill running up his spine at the words. “Of course.”
Having finished his project in the desert a few days earlier, Kaveh finds Alhaitham unconscious past the gates of Caravan Ribat.

Summary
Nahida takes a ribbon from the dresser and starts playing with it, slipping the material around her fingers to make shapes. "Mr Kaveh, I have another question."
He hums, judging his work with a critical eye. One of the braids sat higher than the other. That won't do. Kaveh unravels the first braid and starts over. "And that is?"
"If I asked, would you be my family?"
In which Kaveh and Nahida have a heart-to-heart before school. As it turns out, talking about your emotions works wonders.

Summary
“It's him,” Aglaea says without hesitation. Mydei’s impressed that she's so calm. He isn't. He is on the verge of homicide or something. He'd start a war rather than be here.
“What should we do with him?” Mydei speaks quietly, with great caution. It's not his regular voice, but Phainon is sleeping on his lap, and he's a child. It's madness.
OR: something happens, returning Phainon to his younger self; Mydei should take care of him (and learn some important truths about both of them).

Summary
“She'll need stability,” he says after a moment. He finds Aventurine's gaze over the girl’s head. “You'll need to figure out what you plan to do in this…venture of yours. We will deduce a plan of action once you’ve decided.”
There it is again, that casually spoken ‘we’.
Aventurine laughs weakly, plucking at a blue crayon. “Yeah,” he says. “Yeah, we will.”
Or:
Without a contingency to fall back on, Aventurine rescues an orphan from the wreckage of her home-world. Ratio, perceptive as ever, finds out.
And then helps.Bookmarked by taro_avery

Summary
"Mydei!" Phainon yelps as he flips himself back upright, except it comes out as “Awoo!” instead.
This is humiliating. Mydei is the absolute last person he’d ever want to see him in this weak little body. Phainon skitters backwards, trying to stay out of reach even as Mydei approaches the table.
“Hey, watch—” Mydei grabs at him.
“Awoo?!” SPLASH!
Phainon is underwater. He flails his limbs, trying to figure out how to swim with this unfamiliar body. Something tightens around his rib cage, and he thrashes harder.
As Phainon is lifted from the water, he gasps for breath and starts coughing up the liquid he got in his throat, all while kicking his little legs trying to get some kind of foothold. He finds himself pressed against something solid and warm.
“Shh, shh. It’s okay. Don’t be scared.” Wait, who’s saying that? Mydei? Surely Mydei can’t speak with such a gentle voice… or, even if he could, he wouldn’t in this situation. And what happened to “scared” not existing in the Kremnoan language?!
Phainon gets turned into a chimera. It leads him to learning more about Mydei.

Summary
Link shouldn't allow this. Shouldn't indulge himself when he knows that Sidon is far, far from his reach. He shouldn't allow this because the avatar might only be doing this because Link wants it to, and how will he ever explain something like that to Sidon? He shouldn't be doing this because Sidon might find out somehow, because the king might already know, because this might taint their precious friendship.
He shouldn't because a taste of intimacy like this is only going to make Link want the real thing even more.
Or
Sidon's avatar starts behaving strangely, teasing Link with affectionate touches and gestures that the real Sidon would never allow; a torment so sweet, Link simultaneously wants it to end and never stop. At the same time, Sidon is plagued with strange dreams of his dearest friend. Dreams where he can't hold back desires he didn't even know he had.
