    Summary

    “I don’t see why I have to go,” grumbles Maomao as Xiaolan dresses her.

    “Of course you have to go! You are the consort of the Moon Prince, my lady!”

    Maomao has still not met the emperor’s younger brother. She almost doubts his existence. There is a slight curiosity in her mind as to whether or not he will attend this garden party. Though, honestly, she much prefers him as a spectral figure than a flesh and blood one.

    Summary

    “Kaveh,” he confirms. “He is renowned in his line of work for his skill and passion.”

    Lord Kusanali nods as if he had proved one of her silent queries. “I was hoping he would lend me a hand with this project,”

    “I’m sure he would be honored,” he says earnestly.

    She smiles, cheeks dimpling. “Do you really think so?”

    Alhaitham smiles back, small, easy. “I know him quite well."

    -

    Or, the one where Alhaitham is terribly, terribly in love with Kaveh.

    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.

    Summary

    “Hmph.” Kaveh steps closer. "So why choose to listen to my voice even when I’m complaining about you?”

    Alhaitham shuts his eyes. “Just because.”

    “Being a little vague there, Scribe Alhaitham.”

    “I just…” Alhaitham sighs. “I just really like your voice.”

    Or, Kaveh learns sign language because he fears that Alhaitham is growing tired of his voice. He doesn't understand that Alhaitham actually... loves it.

    Summary

    Maomao wants to run. Maomao wants to hide. Imperial Presence, Mandate of Heaven be damned, though it feels like blasphemy to even think it. But - Maomao can't help but look at Jinshi, his confident voice, his balled-up fists - she can no longer find it in herself to run without him, either.

    What kinds of decisions are you planning to make for the both of us? Maomao doesn't know who she's asking, but she does know that she wants an answer. Spoilers for the latest WN arc because I can't help myself, apparently.
