And I want a love (that falls as fast as a body from the balcony) by omegayekunged
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
03 Jan 2023

Summary
"Sometimes I hate that I've not grown sick of you,” Kaveh finally says, spinning the pencil between his fingers. The windows are partially open as Kaveh stares out of it, away from reality and stuck in the corner of his mind where he cannot think and thinks too much concurrently.
It is because of Alhaitham. It is for Alhaitham. “You always do something like this, and I will always be doomed to worry about you. Do you remember that time I had to force you to sleep after you pulled two all-nighters trying to decipher the ancient runes found under Barbatos’ statue?”
“Pot meets kettle. You did the same too.”
-
(Or: The sickfic that no one asked for. Kaveh takes care of Alhaitham because he only trusts himself to do so. Kaveh is the only person who Alhaitham will trust to take care of him.)

potion seller, i want only your strongest by cherotonin
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
13 Jul 2026

Summary
He’s a Haravatat, Kaveh thinks with no small amount of disdain. And…a grandmother’s boy, two years his junior, with a green thumb; a master of his craft, who’s never walked anyone else through his tiny, enchanting gardens. Maybe, just maybe, it balances out.
Kaveh isn't going into battle or anything, so it's not like he needs the absolute strongest potions he can get his hands on. It's just, like, you know, the shopkeeper is kinda hot and funny, when he's not busy running the most pretentiously named alchemical brewery in existence. Kaveh has room in his budget for a visit every now and again. With coffee.

Summary
Mehrak may not be the smartest piece of machinery out there, but it is nothing if not devoted to its creator. Anything Kaveh asks of it, Mehrak will perform to the best of its capabilities.
One day, it finds itself presented with its greatest challenge yet: to make Kaveh “happy”.
In which Mehrak mistakes a throwaway comment from Kaveh as an order and does everything in its (regrettably limited) power to fulfill it. When it realizes that Kaveh’s happiness could lie with a certain roommate, it intends to throw everything it has into playing matchmaker.
(And if it learns a little bit more about itself along the way—well, all the better, right?)

To Dream in Shades of Green by Intensely_Reading
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
08 Oct 2023
Tags
Summary
“There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."
“Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.
“Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”
There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.
Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

can we go home now? (it's getting later, baby) by gianduja (24sevenheaven)
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
Kaveh expects some offhandedly smug, smooth remark from Alhaitham about how Kaveh’s his senior but never acts like it, or how it was the most logical outcome given the circumstances and he’s being a child for debating with him about it. But he just mumbles, low and almost petulant, “It is what it is.” He won’t meet Kaveh’s eyes. “You can’t move out.”
Kaveh balks at him before rubbing at his face furiously. “You can’t be serious. You can’t be serious,” he laughs, almost delirious. There’s no way his luck has reached this new low. He knows the ascended heroes on Celestia are guffawing at his misfortune. “Why would you do that when you’ve always wanted me to leave anyway?”
Alhaitham stares at him for a long moment before sighing, slipping into his seat and sliding his plate of Kaveh’s carefully constructed Fatteh towards him primly. “Why indeed,” he drones, sounding exhausted. “Why indeed.”
or: in which there’s a cohabitation clause in sumeru city’s body of legislation; a pair who lives together for longer than six months, files taxes together, and presents as a couple are considered married by law. who knew. (alhaitham, apparently.)

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.

With Great Power Comes a Terrible Rent Split by dtnvrr4

Summary
Alhaitham is just trying to survive his final year of university while juggling his secret identity as Spider-Man without jeopardizing his academic standing or dying. Simple goals. Unfortunately, his biggest obstacle isn’t a supervillain—it’s his endearingly overdramatic roommate.
Who won’t stop asking Alhaitham why he keeps coming home bruised.
And won't stop yelling at Spider-Man to understand basic architectural integrity when slamming bad guys into buildings.
(Or: Spider-Man!Alhaitham and Gwen Stacy!Kaveh)

Summary
Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.
“Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
“Newton?”
“What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
“Dia-what?”
“Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
“...”
“Next.”It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.
“Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”
Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

one lifetime too short by luminvies, moonsteps

Summary
People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.
There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.
Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

Summary
Al-Haitham hums, sitting back in his seat. His eyes get that look they always do when he's thinking– at least that had stayed the same– before he put his hands in his pockets.
“You can stay with me, if you'd like,” he says all too casually as he pulls a hand back out his pocket. “For the time being,” he adds on a little too quickly, “until you manage to get yourself out of the mess you’ve made.”
Kaveh was about to open his mouth to protest. Like he'd ever take an offer from him, especially with that attitude.
But then Al-Haitham slides a key across the table to him–golden, with emerald embellishments, a carbon copy of the soulmark on Kaveh's arm– and the words on his lips dissipate into the warm tavern air.

Summary
“I mean, do you ever stop and think about who your anonymous friend might be?" Tighnari says. "Or like, maybe it’s someone you already know or some random guy in one of your classes.”
“No,” Kaveh says, thinking. “With my luck, if I did know him already, then he would probably be the worst person I know. Someone like Al-Haitham.” The thought is so absurd that he stops and laughs. “But that would be fucking awful.”
In Kaveh's humble opinion, the title for The Worst Guy In The World is tied between four people: the asshole in his Tuesday eight am, the employee behind the library email account, the guy writing the university's advice column, and the student that the professor he assists always complains about.
It would only be too convenient if they were all the same person. (They are.)

Summary
Hey, I heard you were looking for a place to stay. My roommate also moved out recently so I have a room open.
“You’re shitting me,” said Kaveh.
“What?” Cyno tilted his head.
Kaveh held out his phone. Cyno and Tighnari leaned over until the sides of their heads were touching as they read the message.
Tighnari jerked away. “Al-Haitham sent you that?”
“I didn’t know he had it in him,” said Cyno.
“Had what?”
“A charitable soul.”
Kaveh needs a place to stay senior year of college and Al-Haitham has an open spot.

Summary
People keep coming up to Kaveh to congratulate him. Kaveh doesn’t really know why, and he’s a little too scared to ask at this point, so he heads back home, content if not a little bemused.
He is, unfortunately, reminded of it the very next day, when the door slams open and Al-Haitham stalks in. “Mind telling me why everyone was congratulating me today?” he demands. “About your pregnancy?"
Or: Al-Haitham is, without a doubt, the most annoying person Kaveh knows. Maybe the world’s second-most annoying person can help Kaveh figure him out.

Summary
Cyno sighs. "It could be some time until Gandharva Ville is once again suitable for human habitation," he says. "Even once the Ley Lines are repaired, it will take time for the energies at the site to disperse."
"I have a Vision," Collei says. "I can help."
Cyno shakes his head. "High concentrations of unguided energies are known to be particularly harmful to post-Eleazar individuals. The protection that your Vision offers would be more than canceled out."
Collei folds her hands in her lap. "It's my home."
"I know," Cyno says.
After Gandharva Ville is attacked, Collei must spend a few weeks living in Alhaitham's house in Sumeru City. It's not what she's used to, but sometimes that's what someone needs to grow.

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.- Language:

Summary
“Coming!” Al-Haitham calls, navigating the maze of packing peanuts and crates. He undoes the latch on the door and lets it swing open, fully expecting to see the bearded face of his landlord only to be met with the vermillion-eyed face of somebody he had given up hope on seeing for the rest of his life.
There’s a long moment of silence. The aching swell of Vivaldi in the background and the rushing in his ears like the ocean waves.
“...Kaveh?”
Kaveh, globally-renowned musician, disappears off the face of Teyvat. Five years later, he shows up outside of Al-Haitham's door with no explanation but to ask for a bed to sleep in.
It's fine. They only have thirteen years of history, after all.

Summary
Kaveh frowned. “Quite frankly, when you’re concerned with my affairs, it worries me.”
“And why is that?”
“Because nothing good ever comes from you being involved.”
That caused Alhaihtam to look up. It was a challenge, that look was. “I’d beg to differ. I’d say Sumeru as a whole has benefited greatly from my involvement.”
“I still don’t believe half of what you say about that situation for the record,” Kaveh said, but the fight had drained out of him when he remembered what Cyno said in the tavern. It was awful how his whole body softened, how years of instinct and fight or flight responses dimmed at the thought of memories about when things were different. Perhaps Alhaitham was a curse. That must be it. Kaveh glanced at his roommate in the corner of his eye. He sighed.

Summary
“Kaveh cannot know about this.” Alhaitham felt the words leap out of his throat like bullets from the barrel of a gun, “There is too much risk to tell him something so severe outright. The chance it would jeopardize what remains of our friendship is too substantial of a gamble."
Cyno hummed as if to himself, ordering another drink from the same waitress that'd swung by a little while ago and sipping at the final dregs of amber pooling at the bottom of his near barren glass. He stared Alhaitham dead across the table, and it wouldn’t have taken even the slightest shred of intelligence from any of the three admittable geniuses present to pick out the bright twinkle of glee at his teeth and the silvery snark of his tone that came with it.
"Well, if it's abruptness you're worried about, you could always try courting him."

Summary
Alhaitham has recently come to realize three things:
- He is in love with Kaveh.
- He would like to kiss Kaveh, hold Kaveh’s hand, go on dates with Kaveh, and become boyfriends with Kaveh.
- He has absolutely no idea how to go about doing any of that.
Having nobody to confide in, he resorts to writing to Sumeru’s most popular advice column, The Wanderer’s Advice, for help. Before long, seemingly everyone in Sumeru City gets swept up in the story of Ardent Admirer and their clueless beloved.
Everyone except Kaveh, for better or for worse.
