    Summary

    Kaveh stares at the neatly packed bento box laying before Al-Haitham, housing neatly sliced vegetables and glistening, fresh rice.

    “Who made you that?” Kaveh asks, not bothering to hide the vengeance in his voice. “Your work husband?”

    Al-Haitham lets the fork go slack in his hands and just stares at him. “Kaveh,” he says, in the sort of tone someone might say dude.

    “Don’t dude me,” Kaveh says, aghast.

    Kaveh is interested in discovering who Al-Haitham's elusive work husband is. Al-Haitham is only interested in Kaveh.

    Summary

    Kaveh let out a long, satisfied sigh. "Also… you are now in the presence of the newest Kshahrewar professor!"

    The couple's expressions slowly shifted from unbridled joy to something more complex. Cyno's face settled into a look of embarrassment, while Tighnari's was etched with clear worry. Kaveh found their change in demeanor deeply unsettling.

    A silent exchange passed between his friends, entire paragraphs conveyed in a glance, before Tighnari finally broke the silence: "Kaveh, please, don't misunderstand. You asked us to act as if he didn't exist, so we never brought it up, but... you do know that Alhaitham never left the Akademiya, right?"

    "...What?"

    "More than that," Cyno continued, his tone uncharacteristically concerned, "you do know he's the current Rector, don't you?"

    Six years after the divorce, Kaveh returns to Sumeru City, only to find his routine repeatedly disrupted by his ex-husband. With every encounter, it becomes harder to ignore the ten years of history they share — until the past stops feeling like something they can simply leave behind and begins to look more like something they might dare to try again.

    Summary

    “Long day?” Alhaitham asks, her head coming down to rest on Kaveh’s shoulder. Kaveh hums in answer, the tension leaking out of her body as Alhaitham holds her. Alhaitham presses her lips into Kaveh’s neck, arms curling around her waist to hug her even tighter. “Want to go to bed?”

    Alhaitham helps her girlfriend wind down after a long day.

    Summary

    Hair in a bun, skates laid out on the floor, and an idle tune hummed under his breath — he’s nearly set.

    His phone starts ringing while he’s rushing towards a bench to put down his belongings, and he scrambles to reach for it in the depths of his bag. He finds it, finger poised to answer as he looks up.

    And that’s when he sees him.

    Even through the hockey helmet, Kaveh can see the familiar traces of gray hair. If the height and broad build weren’t a dead giveaway, that certainly squandered any doubt. Alhaitham. The Sumeru Jackals hockey team’s main defenseman. Of course… who else could it be?

    Kaveh stares at him for a beat too long before snapping himself out of it. There’s no way. There is no way he’s here.

    Or; Renowned figure skater Kaveh returns to the competitive scene after a season of absence. Enter Alhaitham.

    Summary

    With the looming threat of the end of the world upon them, Alhaitham finds himself sharing a moment of peace with Kaveh under the stars. While Alhaitham knows he’s done all he can to save everyone, there is no guarantee that the plan will work. After all, if it fails, he may never get the chance to live the life he has always wanted to have with Kaveh.

    Or alternatively, a fic that acts as an extended version of the rooftop scene in the 6.6 Archon Quest.

    Summary

    “Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”

    A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”

    Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.

    What did he want?

    “Have you?” asked Kaveh.

    “Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.

    Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”

    Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.

    Summary

    “In case you've forgotten, this falls under my area of expertise.” Alhaitham starts walking into the kitchen, empty bowl in hand. “I’d worry more about whether you can meet the standard you’ve set.”

    The nerve!

    “You haven’t won anything yet,” Kaveh calls out.

    Alhaitham turns the faucet on. “I didn’t say I did. But if that motivates you to produce a result, you’re free to interpret it that way.”

    Kaveh glares at his back, crossing his arms tightly. “Oh, I’ll produce a result. Just you wait.”

    It’s on, Alhaitham.

    Kaveh and Alhaitham on the constraints of language.

    Summary

    In which Alhaitham tries to strike up a friendship with his senior, but, unknowingly:

    “Guess who just asked me out?”

    Kaveh was grinning, or perhaps it should be described as a mischievous smirk colouring his lips, as he flipped his hair over his shoulder and sat next to his friends. “You’ll never guess,” he sang.

    Tighnari raised a brow. “Who?”

    “I don’t know if you know him,” Kaveh continued. “Alhaitham.”

    Cyno’s jaw dropped in utter shock, and Kaveh laughed at his widened eyes. “Exactly.”

    Summary

    It starts with a single strand of fur clinging to the collar of his cape.

    Nothing overly alarming, considering the company they keep. Which, really, means that it’s a minor inconvenience, at best. Something that can be brushed off with a twist of a brow or light sigh. Nothing memorable nor remarkable.

    At least, that’s how it starts.

    Kaveh starts feeding the stray cat that keeps coming around. Or, a house becomes a home for three.

    Summary

    Alarm overtook Kaveh’s expression as he looked back and forth between Alhaitham and the matra, dropping his sketchpad and leaping to his feet. “Why is there a guard here? Did you get hurt?”

    “Some idiot decided poisoning me to obtain state secrets would be an optimal use of a Tuesday morning,” Alhaitham replied with a deep sigh.

    Kaveh’s hands hovered uselessly in the air for a few moments as he stared at Alhaitham. “I’m sorry, what?”

    Leaning back against the wall, Alhaitham let out a weary exhale. “Truth serum,” he said tiredly, raking his fingers through his hair then dropping his hand down to rub his throat. “I can’t lie.”

    Kaveh’s eyes widened. “Oh my gods. Are you - are you okay?” Hurrying forward, Kaveh - with his blessedly fully covered legs - guided Alhaitham onto the divan, hands steady despite the panic in his voice.

    “I don’t know. I’m just glad you’re wearing pants,” was all Alhaitham managed to answer.

    Summary

    “Could you help me put it on?”

    Taking the necklace from Kaveh with a lingering brush of their fingers, he stepped close and suddenly, Kaveh was realizing why asking for Alhaitham's help was a very, very bad idea.

    The air turned heavy as Alhaitham laid the necklace around his neck, making sure that the pendant rested on the warmed skin right above his heart.

    Then, without breaking eye contact, he leaned down and pressed a reverent kiss on Kaveh's nape—so featherlight that Kaveh wondered if he was imagining things—just above the clasp of the necklace.

    in which Kaveh and Alhaitham are in love with each other but don’t know it yet.

    Summary

    “How would you like to do this?”

    Kaveh, uncharacteristically shy, replies, “On… on the wrist should be fine.”

    And Alhaitham can’t help it—he’s found that in the past few months of living with Kaveh, he’s so ridiculously fun to tease.

    “And not on the neck?” he teases, tilting his head down and looking up at Kaveh through his lashes. It’s not a look he employs often, because being coy isn’t really his thing, but with Kaveh, who’s fully aware that it’s an act, it’s even more fun to see him splutter and turn red despite knowing Alhaitham doesn’t act like that in actuality.

    Alhaitham's an incubus who doesn't mind feeding once in a while. Kaveh's a vampire who staunchly refuses to feed on humans except when strictly necessary. They work it out.

    Summary

    Although Kaveh’s name sits in the Reaping Bowl 242 times, it’s 11-year-old Collei that gets reaped for the 99th Hunger Games under the Tsaritsa’s reign. When Kaveh volunteers to take her place, he sets a tragedy in motion neither of them could have anticipated.

    Because Alhaitham is set on bringing him home - even if it means walking into an arena of death. As he joins Kaveh as the second tribute of District 12 the promise of keeping Kaveh alive is a declaration of love and war in one, a spark of revolution set alight after years of oppression under the Archon of Love.

    Tighnari managed to save Collei but the costs feel unbearable. Now he has to mentor both of his best friends and guide them through the Hunger Games, where only one person can ever win. And as a former victor himself, he knows the winner is never among the tributes.

    Summary

    Kaveh just wanted to finish his architectural projects, pay off his debts, and maybe enjoy some alcohol without someone ruining his day.

    Instead, he’s getting interrogated by an amateur kidnapper who won’t take no for an answer, playing chess with the same amateur who definitely has ulterior motives, and realizing that, maybe, he’s stumbled headfirst into a conspiracy way above his pay grade.

    Oh, and the not-so-amateur kidnapper? He’s everywhere.

    (Or: Kaveh makes one wrong turn and ends up accidentally kidnapped. Somehow, it's less stressful than dealing with his clients.)

    Summary

    And despite that... Kaveh is… “Lovesick?”

    Kaveh’s hands move to cover his face, palms muffling his words as he mutters, “It’s—not quite like that.”

    “Well, the ‘sick’ aspect is accurate, at least.”

    “No shit,” Kaveh snorts. “The ‘love’ component, though—it’s, uh—”

    “You’re not in love?”

    He coughs. “The greenhouse in my lungs begs to differ. I—it’s more that my body is mourning a love it knows can’t ever be requited.”

    For all the negative feelings Alhaitham’s encountered over the past twelve hours, the sensation that creeps through him now is…

    Unfamiliar.

    Unknowable.

    Despite all the languages he’s fluent in, Alhaitham is unable to conjure a word or phrase with which he can immediately label it. He just knows that whatever this feeling is, it’s unbelievably unpleasant. Like his body is stationary, yet his internal organs are plummeting into the Abyss.

    “You love someone who doesn’t love you back?” he asks after a moment.

    Kaveh has Hanahaki. That much is known. But who he loves, and whether Alhaitham will be able to save him, is up in the air.

    People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.

    There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.

    Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

    “Just take me already, won't you?”

    It's hard to see Alhaitham’s face like this, but Kaveh doesn't need to see to know the picture that Alhaitham’s face paints right now: a single thick brow raised, and an overall unimpressed look across his eyes.

    “Take you?” Alhaitham eventually asks. His hands pause at the nape of Kaveh’s neck, a reprieve from the kneading he had been doing at the freckled skin. “I thought you wanted me to spank you.”

    Or, Kaveh wants to be spanked, and who would be Alhaitham if not privy to Kaveh's every whim? A damn fool, that's for sure. Good thing Alhaitham's anything but.

    This here, had Tighnari’s heart beat fast.

    “Cyno can do it if he wants,” Alhaitham murmured to Tighnari, watching both their partners immersed in their card game.

    “Do what?”

    “Kiss my husband.”

    Summary

    Tighnari’s jaw snaps shut. They both watch in silence as Al-Haitham, ritual worshiper of the daily workplace routine, a transcendently habitual creature set in his ways since the moment he accepted this job offer, reaches thoughtlessly into his desk organizer for a pen and instead comes up with three-quarters of a pastel blue crayon.

    Al-Haitham pauses. He looks down at the crayon in his hand; then, at the document he was about to sign. Next, he casts his gaze across the rest of his desk, where it lands on a sheet of scratch-n-sniff stickers in place of his post-its and a heart-shaped hole punch replacing his stapler. His hand visibly twitches.

    I will get you, he mouths at Kaveh. Then he puts down the crayon and signs the phrase without breaking eye contact, just to be thorough.

    Good luck, moron, Kaveh signs back. Then he blows a kiss.

    Al-Haitham and Kaveh have a totally normal and mature workplace prank war of totally normal and mature proportions.
