    Summary

    For a few days after feeding, Kaveh’s skin takes on a healthy glow and a human warmth and if someone were to listen closely, they would hear a heartbeat, faint as it may be. But Kaveh’s skin is ice cold, and he has no pulse. His complexion is grey, ashy.

    “When was the last time you fed?” Alhaitham asks, voice measured.

    <><><>

    Kaveh, Alhaitham, the soul-crushing experience of being a monster, and a refusal to accept help (or blood) freely given.

    Summary

    "Father?.." Lyney called, becoming more nervous by the second. "You called me in here for a reason. I'd like to hear it."

    "I'm sick, Lyney."

    "Sick?" Lyney's eyes narrowed in confusion. The way she'd been acting… It had appeared to be something more serious than this. "You're just sick? Even if it's something as bad as the flu, it's nothing to cry over. You'll be okay." He put his right hand on her shoulder, his painted nails shimmering in the light. She set her tissue aside, taking a deep breath.

    "No, Lyney. I… I'm going to die."

    Lyney has never wanted to become a Fatui Harbinger. The mere thought of it keeps him awake at night. As the Fourth Harbinger's successor, he knows his fate is inevitable, but not for many years to come. The Knave is young and healthy, so she should live for several decades more…

    …But what happens when the Knave is diagnosed with a terminal illness?

    Summary

    Everyone respects him and even gave him titles like “The light of Kesharewar”. He has to live up to those titles, yet here he is… In Alhaithams house, looking at the books that have fallen to his feet while he tried to grab a book from the bookshelf.

    Despite this being just a simple mistake, somehow Kaveh could only stare at it. Stare at yet another mistake he made while feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
