Summary
“Recently there’s a rumor claiming that you can ask for Mydeimos’ hand in marriage if you can present him his favourite flower.”
“But…” Are they not aware that Mydei is his? That there’s obviously something between him and Mydei, so they should already know that this is all futile. They can stand outside the library for a full day and Mydei will still not spare them a glance.
Peucesta pats his shoulder once again, this time in what feels almost like pity. “They must have thought that since you two are not officially together, then they still have a chance.”
Which is bullshit.

Summary
It felt like a lifetime: Kaveh without Alhaitham seemed as inherently impossible as Alhaitham without Kaveh. It would have been intriguing to an onlooker, had their friendship been privy to anyone but Mehrak: the Crown Prince and a street artist fighting for scraps; the silent, stark line of Alhaitham’s lips and the bubbling laughter leaving Kaveh’s throat at every other moment; silver, carefully trimmed hair and a bloom of golden locks washing over bright freckled skin. Reason and emotion. Routine and invention. Complete opposites.
“Or, perhaps, reflections,” Alhaitham had suggested. “You cannot deny we are similar in many ways. True to our convictions, stubborn to a fault. Just opposite in what those convictions are.” He paused. “You are my perfect mirror.”
My perfect mirror. What a statement to hear from the man who graces your dreams and attaches himself to every thought, whose eye colour you recognise in every sunset and every painting. What was the most tempting part of the sentence? The “perfect”? Or the possessive “my” referring to Kaveh, of all people?

You Gave Me a Key (and Called it Home) by strifeless

Summary
It had never been this quiet. Now, with only one body occupying the space, it felt empty. The absence of others pressed in from all sides, the loneliness heavy and stifling. Phainon set the laundry basket down slowly, and let himself sit on the edge of the bed. The mattress dipped beneath his weight, unfamiliarly soft.
He felt empty in a way he hadn’t been able to process until then. It wasn’t until that moment that he’d let it all hit him in full. He wasn’t just lonely, but severed—cut away from the routine he’d grown into without realizing how deeply he relied on it.
But he knew this was only the beginning. The tour loomed ahead of them, a stretch of unfamiliar cities and similarly empty bedrooms waiting to swallow him whole. Months worth of nights spent curled into the sheets by himself, without Mydei next to him.Or: Breaking up with the love of your life is hard. It's made infinitely harder when instead of moving on, you're obligated by contract to go on tour with him, and find yourself in his bed. Especially when you haven't had a proper conversation in six months.

Summary
In the aftermath of Azar's removal and Nahida's freedom, dreams return to Sumeru. Alhaitham's, however, seem a little odd.
Surely it's nothing to worry about, right?

A Study on the Revival of Kremnoan Roses: Botany, Symbolism, and Best Practices by lumeenary

Summary
“You’re distracted, Deliverer,” Mydei mutters. Despite saying this, he isn’t pulling any punches today.
The silence between them becomes stiff, and Phainon needs to occupy his hands with something, anything. “I’m in the middle of… researching something,” he says.
Mydei hums. “With the Grove?”
Phainon feels sort-of-bad-sort-of-not for obfuscating the truth: one because it’s Mydei, and the other because the matter is about him confessing to Mydei, you see. He pulls a face. “You could say that.”
Kremnoan Roses aren't real. Probably. Phainon is about ninety-nine percent sure. But after coming across an antique Kremnoan vase, Phainon swears that if he, by some miracle, manages to recreates them, he will confess to Mydei with a bouquet of mythical roses.
