Summary
And you know, fine, Al-Haitham is good-looking. But Kaveh’s matured since his early twenties. These days, on nights he can’t sleep, he imagines the kind of relationship where he and his partner schedule twenty minutes every Saturday to air out all the annoying shit the other did that week, or the kind of relationship where he’s the third thing his partner sees each morning after the pillow and the clock on the far wall. And Kaveh could never attain that sort of peace with someone who believed that his proudest work wasn’t true art because it was indulgent to the whims of the people.
Or: the very niche Glenn Gould & Leonard Bernstein AU. Kaveh’s an orchestra conductor who writes musicals on the side, Al-Haitham’s a controversial pianist, and they argue over artistic philosophy for several thousand words.
