    Summary

    So Shane Hollander is, how do you say in English, a dirty little thief. A clothing thief, to be precise. Ilya can't say he saw that coming, but he also can't pretend he's all that mad about it.

    His shirt looks good on his Shane. On Shane. On Hollander.

    Right. His shirt looks good on Hollander.

    Summary

    “There are things I’ve buried so deep I don’t even know where they begin. There are parts of me that are still waiting for the next door to close.”

    A long breath.

    “I’m tired of that.”

    It’s the closest thing to a confession he’s ever made.

    Neuvillette doesn’t answer right away. He rises. Walks to Wriothesley’s side.

    Doesn’t reach for him. Doesn’t try to solve anything.

    Just stands there. With him.
    Looking out into the snow.

    And then—

    Softly. Like the ocean retreating from the shore.

    “You do not have to open every door at once,” Neuvillette murmurs. “But you can choose which ones to leave unlatched.”

    Or, Wriothesley stops surviving long enough to start feeling, and Neuvillette is there for it.

    Summary

    Five times Wriothesley kissed Neuvillette and didn’t ask for anything in return (involving a near-frozen Iudex, a god who forgot how to rest, a wrist trembling beneath a verdict, a moment held in lamplight, and a garden where nothing hurt). And one time Neuvillette kissed him like an offering finally accepted.

    Summary

    “I used to think myself above these things.”

    Wriothesley looks up from his thermos. “These things?”

    “Food. Rest. Company. The needs of the body. Of the heart.” A pause. “Desire.”

    Wriothesley’s expression stills.

    Not startled. Not mocking.

    Just open.

    “And now?” he asks, after a breath.

    Neuvillette folds his hands in his lap. His nails are too neatly trimmed. His sleeves immaculate. His posture immaculate. He does not know how to be not immaculate.

    “I am learning,” he says softly, “that to be above something is not the same as to be free from it.”

    Or, Neuvillette forgets to eat, and Wriothesley remembers for him.

    Summary

    Neuvillette turned to him.

    “I walk here,” he said softly, “because you do.”

    Wriothesley didn’t blink. Didn’t move.

    “And because,” Neuvillette added, slower now, as though choosing each syllable from a shelf of fragile things, “I like how it feels… to be walking toward something.”

    A pause.

    The kind of pause that rewrites what came before.

    Wriothesley stared at him.

    And then—too fast for thinking, too gentle for regret—he leaned a little closer. Not enough to touch. But enough to threaten it.

    “Careful,” he murmured. “You’re starting to sound like a romantic.”

    Neuvillette tilted his head. His eyes were impossibly clear. As if there were no room in him for shame. As if he had calculated this moment as thoroughly as he weighed a ruling.

    “I said nothing untrue.”

    Or, how to fall in love one borrowed ritual at a time.

    Summary

    And Neuvillette—cracks.

    Not visibly. Never that. But there’s a tremble in his stance. In the tilt of his chin. His eyes close. Just for a moment. A second of surrender.

    And that’s when it happens.

    A hand. Wriothesley’s hand. Settling against the side of his neck, warm and grounding.

    It is not indecent.

    Not lingering.

    Just—kind.

    But Neuvillette forgets to breathe.

    The human body is mostly water. He’s known this forever. But in that moment, he feels it. Every molecule trembling toward the warmth. The pressure. The quiet steadiness of Wriothesley’s thumb just under his jaw.

    It is more than a touch.

    It is the promise of something he cannot name.

    Or, the ache that lives in Neuvillette’s chest when Wriothesley touches him.

    Summary

    “Will you ask again tomorrow?” Wriothesley murmured.

    Neuvillette met his gaze. “Ask what?”

    “If I want to stay.”

    Neuvillette’s voice was quiet. Certain.

    “I’ll ask every day.”

    And Wriothesley’s smile, slow and wrecked and reverent, answered before he could.

    “Then I’ll keep saying yes.”

    Or, how a question held gently can feel like love.

    Summary

    Alhaitham pauses, and hopes to all the archons listening that Kaveh wouldn’t ask him how he looked, because there was no way he could describe how Kaveh looked right now in any way that seemed even remotely normal for roommates. Fuck, if Kaveh asked him how he looked right now, theres nothing that would stop his drug addled brain from getting down on one knee. On a Friday, at 5 pm.

     

    Unfortunately, the gods never smiled kindly upon Alhaitham, as he heard Kaveh slip out a “oh, by the way, does this look okay?” as he continued to adjust his golden locks that fell around his face.

    shit.

    Alhaitham has been truth serum'd. Kaveh overthinks.
    A tale as old as time.

    Summary

    Sighing, he lets go of his envy, welcoming the exhaustion. It would be so easy to just not care, to not think more of their arrangement than what it was, like Alhaitham clearly did. He wasn't losing sleep over it, and Kaveh definitely did not feel disappointed by the fact (the telltale itch of his eyes, the hollow at his chest, betrayed him just like his heart did).
    ----------
    Or: Kaveh cries in Alhaitham's bed in the middle of the night, wishing and yearning for something that might be right at his fingertips. Alhaitham does not stay asleep.

    Summary

    At a Teapot Gathering, Alhaitham and Ororon ignore the crowd, and Ororon makes an offhand comment that sends Alhaitham spiralling.

    OR:
    Ororon knew that Kaveh and Alhaitham aren't just roommates by insinuating that their souls are connected.
    This sends Alhaitham into an internal spiral for truth, and it will challenge everything he thought he knew about himself and the choices he makes.

    Summary

    "He dumped me! He said since I was already 'so clearly dating you' he couldn't see how he fit into the picture!" Kaveh flung his hands over his head for emphasis, a bright blush blooming across his face. "Can you believe that?! I thought scholars were supposed to be smart! I mean, really!"

    "What an idiot," Alhaitham confirmed as he felt his own blush deepen across his features. "Who on earth would be dumb enough to think we're dating?"

    "Yeah! We can't stand each other!" Kaveh shifted in Alhaitham's lap, a petulant pout gracing his features.

    "Obviously." Alhaitham said, reaching up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind Kaveh's ear.

    **********************************************

    Denial must also be a river in Sumeru, because Haikaveh have been furiously rowing a boat up against that current for years.

    Or, five times Kaveh ditched a date to hang out with Alhaitham, and one time Haitham did the same.

    Summary

    Centuries ago, a King and a Flower built their kingdom upon the sands, learning from each other that which they lacked to become great and benevolent rulers. Madness struck them down, but the souls of gods can never truly die.

    In a lush rainforest under the protection of the Lord of Dendro, the King and Flower are reborn, free from the weight of old sins. Yet in the cleansing, each has forgotten the lessons the other had once taught, and they have suffered for that loss. Through the twisting and turning of years, they endure in their own ways— until the King encounters a relic of the past.

     

    Alhaitham falls afoul of a ruin, and must find the answers King Deshret once did before it is too late.

    Summary

    Kaveh is tired of having bad one-night stands, and Alhaitham is tired of hearing about them—which begins to make him wonder if he should try taking matters into his own hands.

    “Don’t sell yourself short, Kaveh,” Alhaitham says. “I’m sure the men you sleep with are quite complimentary when they talk about you to others.”

    “They’d better be,” Kaveh mutters, arms crossed. “But no amount of compliments will make up for the complete insult to my ass. You probably haven’t noticed, Alhaitham, but I happen to have an exceptional one, and it’s a total waste for it to be unused and unappreciated.”

    Heat flares in Alhaitham’s face. “Oh,” he says, “I’ve noticed.”

    Summary

    “Let me ask you, then,” Alhaitham said, wiping his hands on a handkerchief. “Why do the old Sumerian literary classics concern you, who is neither a scholar of linguistics nor involved in any business revolving around literature? I can’t help but wonder why you would choose to pick a fight with me about a topic I have spent many hours studying when you have not.”

    Kaveh huffed out a breath of air. “It’s really quite simple. An aptitude for linguistics doesn’t translate seamlessly to an adequate understanding of literature, as much as you make it seem like it does. Literature is not just words on a page to be analyzed in a sterile environment. Literature is art. Unlike you, I have an eye for the details, a sense for romance, and there is quite a bit of that buried in the old scrolls that you Haravatat types like to overlook.”

    Alhaitham felt his lips pull into a smile. “Go on then. Give me one example.”

    During Alhaitham and Kaveh’s shared lunchbreak, an academic debate goes a little overboard.

    Alhaitham accidentally gets struck by a "truth pollen" on a mission and can only tell the truth! He realizes too late and risks getting his feelings for Kaveh exposed by the stupid plant! Cynari help!

    [“So, you gonna tell me what’s going on?” the blond asks carefully. His nonchalance from early has worn off and he’s starting to get worried.

    Looking back up at the reflected green symbol, Alhaitham sighs. “Yes”, he says, “I probably will tell you what’s going on. Even though I don’t want to and all I can think about is your fingers in my mouth.”

    Kaveh gapes at him confused. “W-What?”

    “Cyno says hi.” He blurts out and suddenly wants to punch the man in question as if all this is his fault.]
