    Summary

    The Temple of Silence discovers a remarkably intact set of ruins in the desert. At the ruins' heart is an altar, and around the altar are dozens of skeletons, all intact and undisturbed. It's as if the people who died there simply fell asleep and never woke up.

    While investigating the mystery, Al-Haitham falls into a slumber from which he cannot be woken. It becomes clear that without intervention, whatever killed the people in the temple is going to kill him, too. With the combined assistance of Lord Kusanali and a mysterious Ratnik, Kaveh plunges into the realm between death and dreaming to bring Al-Haitham home.

    Even with nothing but shattered remnants left to find, Kaveh knows the shape of Al-Haitham's soul as well as he knows his own. He'll put Al-Haitham back together piece by piece if he has to—and in the process, maybe he'll put the pieces of their relationship back together, too.

    Summary

    Peering into the mirror, Alhaitham found a pair of wide tourmaline eyes staring back at him - pools of aquamarine dotted red and gold at the slits, just like his original human pupils. And his body, a gradient of soft greys and whites, had been decorated with intricate black spots all throughout. Reminiscent of a snow leopard or a silver rishboland tiger, the speckles ran all the way down his sides to his hind legs, and inky, elegant lines curled around his face as if kohl had been painted into his very fur.

    Alhaitham, by some curse or some miracle, had been turned into a cat.

    Summary

    Alhaitham is perfectly aware that he’s on borrowed time. He’s also aware that while Kaveh is brilliant, he will never be truly happy or appreciated in the current Sumeru.

    So when Grand Sage Azar drops a hint into a project about Divine Knowledge just as Alhaitham’s time is running out, he decides to dedicate the rest of his very short life into investigating whether or not that could be the downfall for the leaders of the current Sumeru.

    And well, if something goes wrong and he mysteriously disappears, so be it. At least Kaveh won’t be able to somehow blame himself for Alhaitham’s death.

    "Can you tell me when and where you found Alhaitham?


    While on his way back from the desert, Kaveh unexpectedly runs into a familiar face in the most unlikely of circumstances.
    He knew something was off. And he blew it off because what? Alhaitham was always fine?

    Summary

    “Oh, who woulda thought I’d be catchin’ an angel in my arms today.”

    …alpha?

    Instead of the ground, he finds himself in the arms of an alpha whose body is sturdy and muscular beneath that leather jacket. He finds himself staring at his own reflection on those shades. He finds himself slipping into unconsciousness, lulled by that… burning scent.

    “Wait! Don’t go faint on me – ”
