    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

    Kaveh has achieved so much today, it should be fine to do this much for himself. It should be fine to enjoy this much. There is absolutely nothing that Al-Haitham could possibly do to ruin this day!

    Of course, this is when Al-Haitham chooses to walk in covered in blood.

    Kaveh has enough troubles on his plate even without dealing with his confusing relationship with and unfortunately lingering feelings for his stubborn, infuriating roommate. But when a strange conspiracy begins closing in on Al-Haitham and threatening the precarious balance of their daily lives, Kaveh finds himself having to reevaluate the nature of their relationship and reckon with the ghosts of the past.

    -----

    There’s never really a good time, way, or reason to tell Kaveh about his long-lived, amoral, exiled, criminal ex-partner — who, Al-Haitham will note, was not any of those things at the time they were involved.

    However, there is definitely a worst way for Kaveh to find out.

    Summary

    "What? Don't you want to give him your gift?"

    The Aranara looked at him expectantly. Alhaitham blinked, looked at the book, then back at the creature.

    "Absolutely not."

    Alhaitham didn't mind the Aranara popping in and out of his life. They were cute, in a way. Like a gaggle of cats. But why were they so keen on him and Kaveh making up? And why did they have to be the most annoying matchmakers in Tevyat's history?

    Summary

    "Go home, Alhaitham," Kaveh barks, willing his tears not to fall before the man he's been wanting to see all these years.
    The man smirks, kicking the door open and dragging his suitcase in. "I'm home; wherever you are, that’s my home," Alhaitham declares. "Also your mother already approved of this."
    "SHE WHAT?"

    Kaveh doesn't realize he can't simply shake Alhaitham off, even after multiple samsaras where the man always departs before him. Alhaitham has more than enough time to convince him this time it will work.

    Summary

    “Hello, you two,” the vendor greets them as he tends to his food. His eyes are kind. Brown as chocolate.

    “Two, please,” Al-Haitham says.

    Kaveh spaces out, looking at the floor. This is a normal interaction. It’s normal for two men to get food together. It’s something friends do. This doesn’t have to be a big deal.

    “Will that be together?”

    Kaveh’s head snaps up.

    “No!” he says too quickly, too loudly. The market isn’t quiet, but the word feels deafening in his ears. “We aren’t, we aren’t anything.” His voice comes out weak, like he knows the words were never meant to be spoken.

    “Okay,” says the vendor, lifting his eyebrows as he goes back to preparing the food. “I meant as in paying.”

    Or: It seems like everyone in Sumeru has something to say about what Al-Haitham and Kaveh are to each other. All Kaveh wants is to have control over his own story.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Lovely fic which deals with real themes of masculinity, social perception and internalized homophobia.
