    Summary

    Hair in a bun, skates laid out on the floor, and an idle tune hummed under his breath — he’s nearly set.

    His phone starts ringing while he’s rushing towards a bench to put down his belongings, and he scrambles to reach for it in the depths of his bag. He finds it, finger poised to answer as he looks up.

    And that’s when he sees him.

    Even through the hockey helmet, Kaveh can see the familiar traces of gray hair. If the height and broad build weren’t a dead giveaway, that certainly squandered any doubt. Alhaitham. The Sumeru Jackals hockey team’s main defenseman. Of course… who else could it be?

    Kaveh stares at him for a beat too long before snapping himself out of it. There’s no way. There is no way he’s here.

    Or; Renowned figure skater Kaveh returns to the competitive scene after a season of absence. Enter Alhaitham.

    Summary

    He really is beautiful.

    Here lies Kaveh’s magnum opus, on the table he was created upon. Kaveh smooths a hand down his well-defined cheekbones. Long eyelashes, bold eyebrows, and a handsome nose, he truly is a sight to behold. The corners of Kaveh’s lips quirk up. He always considered himself something of an artist.

    It takes some time to finally tear his eyes away from his creation and back to his tablet, where he was working on the final touches for his personality. He would be rational in all the ways Kaveh had been scorned for lacking. He would balance him out, challenge Kaveh, bring him to heights Kaveh would have never even known existed alone.

    He would be beautiful, and he would be perfect.

     

    Kaveh constructs an android. An exploration of companionship.

    Summary

    Kaveh had been clear. No poetic wording. No room for misunderstandings. No room for miscommunication.

    “I don’t see you that way,” Alhaitham replied flatly.

    Wow. So straightforward. So concise. Zero social etiquette.

    The heartbreak had not even settled in yet and Kaveh already wanted to throw him off the building.

    Cyno @tcg_pharaoh:
    why is alhaitham on the roof

    Tighnari @actual_leader:
    what roof?? like about to jump??

    Cyno @tcg_pharaoh:
    no he’s lying down flat like a starfish on the cement and just staring at the sky

    (or: Kaveh was the one who got rejected by Alhaitham, so why is his junior acting like a tragically abandoned stray cat?)

    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

    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.
