    Summary

    “I thought you weren’t at all upset about any of this?” 

    “I’m not,” Al-Haitham insists. Stubborn.

    “Well, what happened then? Surely something’s bothering you, or else you wouldn’t be moving your things back and forth in the same spot like that.”

    Al-Haitham’s eyes drop to his hands, between them a box filled with little trinkets—souvenirs from his trips to the desert, no doubt, gleaming gem stones and jagged blocks of stone, the old runes on them barely legible from erosion. Al-Haitham sighs.

    “Nothing happened,” he begins, slow and measured, “I’m just looking for something.”

    The morning after their return to Sumeru City, Al-Haitham’s cover of nonchalance is blown for good.

    Summary

    Though Alhaitham’s instinctive reaction was to push this inexplicably older version of Kaveh away and demand an explanation, something about the desperation in his grip held him hostage. He could feel the rapid rise and fall of Kaveh’s chest against his own, the quivers in his body from the leftover adrenaline of travelling through what had to be some sort of time portal.

    He was still trying to make sense of the situation, pulse roaring in his ears, when Kaveh’s fingers began to shift, sliding down the length of his arm until he reached Alhaitham’s left hand.

    Kaveh traced along the veins there, pausing - as if searching for something that wasn’t where it should be. Then his posture fell, softening with melancholy. “Oh,” he murmured, almost to himself. “I’m not back yet.”

    Alhaitham stiffened. “What?”

    “You’re not my Alhaitham,” Kaveh said with a quiet, somber sigh that wavered faintly at the end.

    Summary

    "Sir Varka," how Flins can say a simple name with such melancholy, Varka will never understand. "Could I trouble you to return my lantern to the Cemetery? It's easier than having to carry me."
    Flins lifts his lantern. The flames inside are dulled slightly, but the sight is so familiar it manages to put Varka at ease. He finds himself reaching for it without really meaning to.
    Then, as Varka's fingers wrap around the metal casing, Flins simply… dissolves.

    Summary

    It's the day of the Sabzeruz festival and all of Sumeru City is celebrating. All but Al-Haitham. He finds himself at the Akademiya working before a series of events lead to him feeling hard of breath and even harder of control. Luckily, Kaveh is there to calm him down.

    Or: Al-Haitham has a sensory overload and his headphones stop working, so Kaveh helps him through it.

    Summary

    Thank fuck. Alhaitham tries to speak, tries to get out something along the lines of Tighnari, I’m having a heart attack, help, but all that comes out is a pathetic whine.

    “I know, I know, you’re okay,” Tighnari says, holding his hands palm-up in front of him, voice surprisingly calm considering the fact that Alhaitham’s having a heart attack. “You’re going to be okay. Can you hear me yet?”

    Under the stress of a sudden workload he wasn't quite prepared for combined with other things, Alhaitham has his first real panic attack. He doesn't quite handle it well.

    Summary

    “Please, Sam.” The words were whispered, barely audible even in the deadly silence that hung over the room. “Please.” Grian squeezed his eyes shut, letting the tear that had welled in his eye slide down his cheek.

    “What was that?” Sam’s presence loomed over him. “I didn’t quite hear it.”

    Or,

    Grian learns how to beg.

    Summary

    “You⎯” Scott seems at a loss for words. “You are like no one I’ve ever met before.”

    “Mm. I think you must not spend enough time around poor people, King of Rivendell.”

    “You’re hardly poor,” Scott protests. “You’re an Emperor just as I am, Codfather.”

    “...Something like that, maybe.”

    Or: The King of Rivendell and the Codfather share a balcony. Somehow, this leads to an alliance, and eventually, something more.

    Summary

    This time, Scar's smile visibly twists, turns into something bitter that Grian hasn't seen in his face before.

    "It's okay, Grian," he says. "I'm comfortable here, you don't need to do this." Grian blinks, confused.

    "I—do what?" Scar raises an eyebrow at him and tucks a strand of hair behind his pointed ear.

    "You're being nice," Scar says, discarding a blue fabric. Grian privately agrees, it's gaudy. "And it's sweet, really, but I'm okay."

    "Scar, that's not—" Grian shakes his head. "That's ridiculous! I'm not just being nice!"

    Scar looks up at him from where he's folded on the floor, grasping at velvet, and he suddenly looks very small and very tired.

    "Sure," he says, and the tone makes Grian bristle, despite himself.

    "Scar," he says, trying to keep calm. "Why would I do that? When have I ever been nice to anyone just for the sake of it? You're my friend—scratch that, you're our friend!" Scar huffs a little laugh and Grian watches him, helpless. "I—where is this coming from, man?"

    (Or, Grian and Scar deal with some of the fallout from Last Life.)

    Summary

    An excerpt from A Guide to Shire Flora by Bilbo Baggins, collected by Frodo Baggins:
    The Mile’s End is a rare flower found only in the four farthings of the Shire. While no one is certain when it was first recorded, it can be found in Hobbit art and embroidery patterns going back at least 500 years. The peculiar thing about mile’s ends is that they only bloom when in the presence of true love or rather, soul mates. In Hobbit culture, therefore, it is mainly used during wedding ceremonies. They are of particular importance to weddings between two brides or two grooms, for both relationship and flower are seen as precious and symbolic of Hobbit love for community and family in all forms.
    Etymology: the name “mile’s end” is most likely derived from the Sindarin loth, meaning flower; mîl, meaning love; and henia, meaning understand. What originally was mîlothenia, became milothen and eventually milen. From there, Shire accent turned it into two separate Westron words: mile’s end.

    Summary

    Stupid Gordon Freeman and his soft looking hair and endearing laugh and dadbod. On top of that, he was a dad. What the hell was up with that. This was just uncalled for.

    “Hot DILFs in your area.”

    Benrey didn’t even realize they’d said that out loud until Tommy’s chest started shaking underneath them in soft laughter.

    “What?” Tommy said, his hand stilling in Benrey’s hair.

    The advantage of having a generally monotone voice and not being super expressive was that usually, Benrey could bluff his way out of most of the stupid shit that accidentally came out of his mouth. “Wha?” They said, hoping Tommy would let it slide.

    Of course, that advantage was usually negated by having a best friend who was well-versed in his idiosyncrasies and could definitely fill in the blanks to explain the wack thought process he just went on. “Did you just call Gordon a DILF?” Dammit. Tommy was laughing at them. What the fuck. 0/10, worst best friend moments. Uncalled for.

    Summary

    But as he goes on his forty-eighth hour awake, his twenty-second without food, he's getting... irritable, to put it lightly. The glances are getting on his nerves. Every little noise Michael makes is driving him up the wall. He grits his teeth and tries not to slam the cupboard too loudly as he makes another cup of coffee. He keeps telling himself Michael hasn't done anything wrong. It doesn't do anything to quell the completely unnecessary rage bubbling just beneath his skin.
