Summary
“What did you just say to me?” Kaveh demands in Common, because someone has to play the straight man in this tragedy and for once, it will not be him.
Alhaitham turns a page. “I said,” he repeats smoothly, still in the dialect, “that your citations are structurally unsound, emotionally driven, and—if I’m being generous—historically masturbatory.”
One of the interns chokes audibly on his coffee. Another whispers, “Did he say masturbatory?” in an accent not native to anywhere known on the continent.
Kaveh’s chair screeches against the marble. He stands.
“Fine,” he says, in perfect, archaic Inazuman. “If we’re playing this game, then allow me to remind you that I studied abroad, you glorified footnote. You want to throw sand at me? I’ll drown you in calligraphy.”
Or, perhaps emotional repression is just another dialect they’ve both grown fluent in.

Summary
Alhaitham exhales roughly and turns back towards his room. Moments later, he hears six pairs of footsteps following him.
He swings his door open and raises a brow.
Kaveh’s eyes narrow. He peeks inside, taking in the muddy floors, the flowers strewn all over the place, and the leaves scattering the floors. Alhaitham watches Kaveh scan the room before his eyes flit over Alhaitham, and then the Aranara, and then Alhaitham again.
Through it all, the Aranara continue to stare at Alhaitham like he’s the biggest disappointment they’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting.
Kaveh’s lips twitch.
“Don’t you dare.”

Summary
Based on this text post from thebloggerbloggerfun: "Listen, imagine Eileen sneaking out of Sam’s room at night to go to the bathroom or something and steps out into the hallway in one of Sam’s shirts only to see Cas trying to quietly leave Dean’s room while wearing one of Dean’s shirts and they both just stare at each other awkwardly for a few seconds before trying to muffle quiet laughter and now they have a late night club where they talk about life and gossip about the Winchesters in sign language"
And this anon I received: "what if Eileen and Cas discover there are some things Sam and Dean both do in bed because Dean jokingly gave Sam pointers when they were younger and Sam took the advice"

Summary
Like many years ago, he was looking up into those green eyes.
He didn’t have to look at the rest of his face.
He knew what those eyes read.
Or,
Skylar meets Minwoo again and doesn’t know what to do with himself. Luckily, Cirrus does. (College timeskip)
