Teaching Hindrance by WhereLifeIsStrong for Torihakarau

Summary
When the Akademiya invited Kaveh back into its hallowed halls as a visiting professor, he simply could not say no. Wasn’t it his duty as a member of society to pay that guidance forward? Could anything be more sacred than the opportunity to impart wisdom and inspiration unto others?
That is how he got to where he is now: sprawled out on the divan, head in Al-Haitham's lap, with eighty-five papers to grade for "Theories of Urban Design."
It's simple in theory — Kaveh's work as a professor is taxing, and he could use a teaching assistant to help him out. Al-Haitham decides he is exactly the man for the job.

Summary
"So if you charge it with enough Dendro, it'll run on its own?" Haitham had surmised the night before.
His face, of course, was completely neutral as he studied the machine — but he was interested. Kaveh could tell from the glint in his eye.
"Yes. I'll be working on my drafts, you'll be tied down, and neither of us will have to lift a finger to make it work." Kaveh ran his finger along the cool metal, tiny blooms of Dendro trailing behind, and the machine stuttered to life.
Kaveh often has work to do. Al-Haitham often wants to be indulged. So Kaveh puts his years of Kshahrewar studies to use.

Summary
"Byleth Eisner." They like to keep their introduction short and to the point, and this is no exception. "I'm a professor at the Officers Academy in Garreg Mach Monastery."
The hooded figure's face splits into a grin. They sheathe the strange weapon-like device at their belt and hold out a hand.
"Welcome, Professor."
(In which Kiran is a fish out of water, and Byleth is a photograph of the ocean.)

Summary
"Every time,” Kaveh seethes, “every time you do this! You - you’re trying to distract me!” Alhaitham licks his hand again, and Kaveh can feel his smirk. This time, he shoves his fingers into Alhaitham’s mouth, which he remembers then is a mistake for several reasons. The first is that Alhaitham’s eyes widen for just a second before he sucks, curling his tongue around Kaveh’s fingers deliberately. The second is that it doesn’t actually shut Alhaitham up, just muffles his hum. The third, of course, is that Kaveh really does like the sight of Alhaitham’s mouth wrapped around something.

Summary
“Just because the dormice you gifted me for dinner last night were unexpectedly delicious”—Kaveh caws on, still aggrieved—“it doesn’t mean I'd settle for any plain and ugly stick for the nest! This is why I say you have no appreciation for beauty, Haitham!”
Kaveh’s fastidiousness over the aesthetics of their nest never ceases to puzzle Al-Haitham. What does he mean these aren’t good sticks? Al-Haitham plucked them earlier from a large adhigama tree similar to their own, complete with sprightly leaves, blooming buds, and a bright sheen to its bark—all signs of the tree’s good health.
“Weren’t you the one who once said that functional quality and safety are equally as important as aesthetics?” Al-Haitham retorts with a low ee-chup. “These ugly but sturdy sticks are perfectly serviceable for a durable nest foundation.”
Kaveh and Al-Haitham made for an extremely odd pair in Avidya Forest. After all, whoever heard of a peregrine falcon and a bird-of-paradise sharing a nest together?

Treading the Line by birbleafs for WhereLifeIsStrong

Summary
Is it the same for Kaveh then? Al-Haitham ponders in the silence. Could he love only in the way he loves his creations and the process of creating? These imperfect things that he moulds from clay, from metal, wood, and dirt; that he shapes and refines into perfection from his own worn hands and overwrought mind, nourished with his blood and sweat and tears, forever chasing after an ideal so unattainable, it always seems out of reach?
Al-Haitham does not think himself an artist, so he does not know; perhaps will never truly know, this eternal struggle that seems to beset the artistic soul. Still, he feels a shiver running down his spine as he continues to watch Kaveh’s hands working the moist clay; as he begins to wonder what ‘form’ he would take if Kaveh’s fingers were to thoroughly shape him into ‘art’; into something born of Kaveh’s ideal, of Kaveh’s love.
Evoked by a fleeting touch, Al-Haitham begins to dream.
