    Summary

    “Because I’m going to be the first.”

    Something swells in his chest then – his heart perhaps, or some unnameable thing he had never known before. It was suffocating but in a way that felt welcome, peaceful and all encompassing. His breath caught in his throat and he was dazzled; by Kaveh’s golden, freckled skin, by his shimmering eyes laden with certainty and hope, by his tender touch that slid along the line of Alhaitham’s jaw now feeling the stubble that just barely begun to threaten to spring from his still soft skin.

    “And you’ll be the reason.” It’s said through the spreading of a smile, all that truthful joy caught in every syllable of the word.

    A haikaveh retelling of The Song of Achilles, for the Haikaveh Mini Bang 2025.

    Summary

    "I appreciate this," Flins says as Varka steps down from the chair.

    "You mentioned not being fond of the dark," Varka tells him. "I was just being neighborly."

    Flins wonders if kissing and fondling him in the elevator was also Varka "just being neighborly"

    Summary

    The kiss deepens almost on instinct, with Varka sliding his free hand up to the nape of Flins' neck, pulling him closer, tasting the faint trace of tea and honey on his lips. He feels himself sinking, melting, until even the firehouse, the smoke, the ache in his shoulders all dissolve into nothing. Just him and Flins, and the steady purr of a tiny gray ally against his stomach.

    And then—

    Whap.

    Something bats into his hair.

    Varka startles, jerks back just enough to see Sol standing on the back of the couch, tail swishing and paw already raised for another swipe. He sees the warning for what it is. Eclipse makes her appearance, by mewling at Flins' feet, urging for his attention. And there goes the moment.

    "Fuck," He groans in despair, lips still tingling from Flins' kiss. "The calvary is here."

    Summary

    This isn’t a home, Kaveh had told him the first time Alhaitham dropped the illusion which was hiding his structure from outsiders. It's just a floor.

    What would you suggest? Four walls? A roof?

    Kaveh hadn’t been sure how to answer. Houses have walls and roofs and rooms within the walls, and they’re decorated and furnished to match one's personal tastes. But a house and a home are drastically different things.

    That would just be four walls and a roof . He had thought back to his childhood home and pondered what had made it a home, why it doesn’t feel like one now. It needs love and trust so you can carry your truths inside it.
