    Summary

    “Do you think we can save it?” Al-Haitham asks, none the wiser. “It’s just the roof that’s gone. I would trust you to make the arrangements, senior, if I weren’t so worried you’d bankrupt me.”
    Kaveh does not take the bait, does not bite back at all. Instead, he holds a hand up to an ash-covered wall. His fingers come back stained.
    He wants to say yes. There’s nothing Kaveh wants more than to close his eyes to block out the burnt, blackened view of the house destined to fall. He could imagine it exactly as he left it then: sunlight streaming through the beautifully stained windows. Al-Haitham on the divan, a Kaveh-shaped spot beside him. Not that it would work, even if Kaveh never opened his eyes again. Gods, Kaveh tries, squeezing his eyes shut when the sight becomes unbearable. But the burnt smell permeates the air, inescapable, as the heavy feeling of soot clouds his lungs.
    The house is unlivable.

     

    After the burning of irminsul, Al-Haitham and Kaveh find their house unliveable. Kaveh is totally normal about this. Totally.

    Summary

    If Kaveh told anyone that his current best friend was a crow, they would call him insane.

    Especially as a single man living alone, with barely enough time to do anything fun with his actual human friends outside of overworking himself on commissions, stressing over clients, and crying himself to sleep over the occasional glass of wine.

    Kaveh gets courted by a crow and unknowingly finds himself a husband.

    Summary

    Wow. What an eyeful.

    Two people are on the bed, having passionate sex, if the marks and moans are anything to go by. Heat rushes to his face, and he lets out an embarrassing squeak at the shock.

    Both men turn to look at him, but the blond one catches his eye first. Kaveh doesn’t like looking at his reflection, but he’d be damned if he didn’t recognize himself. Thankfully, the sheets pool around the other Kaveh’s hips, so can’t see where his body connects with his partner.

    At this moment, Kaveh realizes. If he’s here with his older self, then that must mean…

    Oh archons.

    After Kaveh and Alhaitham fight and fall out of each other’s lives, they find themselves in a strangely familiar house.

    If only they knew what was waiting for them behind that bedroom door.

    Summary

    Under Azar's Akademiya, loving the wrong person meant learning to stay silent.

    Kaveh mastered it: stolen moments, hidden glances, a roommate who shared his bed and never heard the words Kaveh was too afraid to say.

    Then the sky split open, and Alhaitham vanished into the chaos.

    Now, with the Abyss tearing through Sumeru, Kaveh is forced to relive every moment he stayed quiet: the first kiss, the brutal fallout, the night Alhaitham found him broken and offered him a home,...

    Kaveh has waited years to speak. And now, he won't let anyone take that opportunity from him.

    Summary

    For better or worse, Alhaitham wasn’t left alone with his thoughts for long.

    The bright green glow on the wall would’ve tipped off even an amateur. If not that, then the not-so-quiet “Fuck” Kaveh let out after slamming his foot into the wall.

    If he didn’t already understand how these dreams worked, he would’ve been worried for Kaveh’s safety.

    Lucky for him, this wasn’t real. Kaveh would stay alive as long as Alhaitham remembered that.

    -

    or: alhaitham gets stuck in a dream loop that depends on him believing the dreams are real, or "kaveh" dies.
