Summary
On a flight to Fontaine, Kaveh gets mysteriously upgraded to first class beside an annoyingly handsome alpha who smells like the very essence of the heavens. Kaveh, however, has never willingly given an alpha the time of day, and he's certainly not about to start now.
Probably.
Maybe.
Except why does this one smell so damn good?!
As Kaveh made his way to row 3 seat B, the woodsy, petrichor-rich scent he’d assumed was some expensive air freshener in the airport terminal filled his senses far more strongly.
... The alpha. Seated in row 3, seat A.
Kaveh stopped so abruptly the passenger walking behind him stumbled into his carry-on.
His gaze collided with the alpha’s once more. From up close, the ocean hidden within those devastatingly beautiful eyes felt endless, inviting him toward depths he was already drowning in - instantly overcome by the dizzying sensation of falling from a cliff overlooking the vast, expansive sea.

Summary
"I’m not 'faking' a smile, Alhaitham. I’m grimacing because you just suggested a spreadsheet for hug quotas."
To keep toddler Nahida out of the system, Alhaitham and Kaveh enter a fake marriage pact. Living together was already a war zone, but raising a child forces a ceasefire they weren't prepared for. Turns out, the only thing harder than co-parenting is realizing the "act" isn't an act anymore.

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
Al-Haitham married Kaveh three years ago, despite being straight, just to get his company's quarterly bonuses meant for newlywed employees. When Haitham starts to face suspicion at work over his fake marriage, he brings Kaveh along with him to a holiday party in order to fool his coworkers—only to realize he's been fooling himself all along, too.
