    Summary

    Kaveh just wanted to finish his architectural projects, pay off his debts, and maybe enjoy some alcohol without someone ruining his day.

    Instead, he’s getting interrogated by an amateur kidnapper who won’t take no for an answer, playing chess with the same amateur who definitely has ulterior motives, and realizing that, maybe, he’s stumbled headfirst into a conspiracy way above his pay grade.

    Oh, and the not-so-amateur kidnapper? He’s everywhere.

    (Or: Kaveh makes one wrong turn and ends up accidentally kidnapped. Somehow, it's less stressful than dealing with his clients.)

    Summary

    An orphan omega growing up to marry Sumeru Akademiya’s Grand Sage might sound like something out of a romance novel, but for Kaveh it’s anything but. He has dreams and aspirations, and none of those involve being mated to a man who is no doubt thrice his age and balding.

    Alas, circumstances have never been his friend. All he can do now is make the best of things.

    (He doesn’t expect to fall in love.)

    Summary

    The truth of the matter is, Kaveh has no idea how to read Alhaitham. He prides himself on being an expert at understanding people, his empathetic heart lending him the capacity to relate deeply with those around him (oftentimes to his detriment). But with Alhaitham, there is nothing for him to read; no clues from his cool expression for him to grasp. The man appears stoic all the time even during their petty bickering.

    Honestly, when was the last time Kaveh has seen the man do anything except smirk or frown? Does Alhaitham feel happiness? Has he ever seen the man laugh?

    Kaveh's mind is drawing a blank on the latter and it...bothers him deeply.

    --
    Kaveh devises a plan to get Alhaitham to smile by being aggressively nice to the man (and also maybe if he makes Alhaitham happy, he can score a discount on his rent or something). Alhaitham thinks Kaveh ate some mind-altering mushrooms and is, understandably, confused and mildly afraid.

    Summary

    “Long day?” Alhaitham asks, her head coming down to rest on Kaveh’s shoulder. Kaveh hums in answer, the tension leaking out of her body as Alhaitham holds her. Alhaitham presses her lips into Kaveh’s neck, arms curling around her waist to hug her even tighter. “Want to go to bed?”

    Alhaitham helps her girlfriend wind down after a long day.

    Summary

    You could do something about it when flowers begin to bloom in your lungs. Or you could resign yourself to death, because surely they'll never love someone like you back.

    I.e. I'm in the business of making my favourite characters suffer needlessly when everything could be solved in one conversation >:)

    I've changed this like three times because I'm SO BAD AT SUMMARIES.

    Summary

    For Kaveh, being Alhaitham's human retainer was all he knew for the last decade. But when he's offered the chance for more, will he take it? Does he even really WANT to be a vampire, or does he just want Alhaitham?
    (Both. The Answer is Both.)

    Summary

    "So, what great building did our master architect work on this time?"

    Nothing. Four days ago, Kaveh thought he would never work on anything again.

    "Where were you when Sumeru needed you most?"

    Dying.

    Summary

    It is not a curse, though many would say it behaves as one. A curse is something malicious, something ugly. Kaveh chose this. He did it with the recklessness and lack of foresight of a child--but he chose this. It is not a curse.

    It is a blessing. He asked for this.

    Kaveh loves and he suffers for it, more physically than one might expect.

    Summary

    “In the like name of that love of ours, take back these thoughts which here unfolded too, and which on warm and cold days I withdrew from my heart’s ground.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning, “Sonnet 44”

    Kaveh builds a house over a Withering Zone, which of course does not end well. When things start going from bad to worse, Alhaitham is left to try to salvage the pieces.

    Summary

    Kaveh prides himself on being a loyal individual. He's loyal to his career as an architect, even if his debts make him wonder why he bothers with the low cuts he earns from his commissions. He's loyal to his friends, always willing to show up when they need him. He's even loyal to his no good, down right awful, boyfriend. Well, ex-boyfriend. A bad breakup, news of cheating, and a night of drinking leads to revenge being served.

    Too bad he didn't realize that his one-night stand was about to be his boss for the foreseeable future. Surely this won't come back to bite him later, right?

    Summary

    Kaveh regrets ever accepting this new commission. It is not the pay nor the project itself – both are to the architect’s satisfaction. No, the problem is the client and her obsession with Kaveh.

    She believes them to be “destined for each other” and takes Kaveh’s rejection as playing hard to get. In his desperation Kaveh lies about having a boyfriend, a certain scribe he shares a home with and is oh-so madly in love with. Now he has to convince Alhaitham to play the part, when his client insists on meeting the “love of his life”.

    Summary

    During his time in the desert, Kaveh stumbles on a strange device that took him to a perfect world where all his wishes came true. A world where he was married to Alhaitham.

    Sadly, he knew he couldn't stay in that world forever. Not when he knew that nothing was real.

    Summary

    When Kaveh, a broke architect, moves to a new city with the hope of a fresh start he finds himself incredibly... lonely. A flyer in the small corner grocery store catches his attention one evening, seeming to call out to him in all of his pathetic glory.

    He calls the number, hoping for some companionship, even if he has to pay for it. They send him a survey to fill out and apparently drinking a bottle of wine before filling something out can seriously decrease a person's reading comprehension level and their ability to retain the information they consumed... who would have thought.

    The one where Kaveh calls a companionship service hoping for some platonic company and gets a whole lot more than he bargained for. (No one is complaining)

    Summary

    The toddler began to cry, and then he started to cough from trying to cry too hard, snot dripping down his face. Another adult came hurrying over to help him to his feet before they went inside to head, presumably, to the nurse’s office.

    Loud, chaotic, dirty. Everything that went against Al-Haitham’s standards.

    “Working here as what?” Kaveh blinked. “Like admin or something? That’s probably quiet and far enough from kids for you. Though—”

    “No,” interrupted Al-Haitham. “I don’t.”

    After getting fired from a prestigious architecture firm, Kaveh moves back to his hometown to raise his five-year-old brother only to find that an old college "acquaintance" is his little brother's kindergarten teacher.

    Summary

    Alhaitham purses his lips. “What did you say your name was again?”

    “I didn’t,” says Kaveh weakly. He swallows.

    Okay. There are two options here.

    Option A: Tell the truth. Yeah, uh, hi. I’m Kaveh. I’m your roommate. Um. We slept together last night. Hopefully this doesn’t make things weird! Nice to meet you!

    Option B: Run.

    Kaveh is horrified to find out that his one night stand is actually his elusive new roommate.

    Summary

    Somehow, they end up like this, Kaveh’s shirt half off and Al-Haitham’s own shirt hastily unbuttoned, and now they’re both just staring at each other in the mortifying emptiness of Al-Haitham’s apartment.

    “This isn’t supposed to be happening,” Kaveh says, chest heaving. “You go against everything I stand for.”

    Al-Haitham scoffs. “Oh, get over yourself, it’s a school club.”

    “Fuck you too,” Kaveh hisses, and then he kisses him.

    In which two enemies (Al-Haitham and Kaveh) despite their bitter rivalry (opposing college club loyalties) come together in spite of their differences. (They hook up. Occasionally. Like Kaveh said, it wasn't supposed to happen.)

    Al-Haitham just wants to get to know Kaveh. Enough of this rivalry bullshit.

    Summary

    “I mean, do you ever stop and think about who your anonymous friend might be?" Tighnari says. "Or like, maybe it’s someone you already know or some random guy in one of your classes.”

    “No,” Kaveh says, thinking. “With my luck, if I did know him already, then he would probably be the worst person I know. Someone like Al-Haitham.” The thought is so absurd that he stops and laughs. “But that would be fucking awful.”

    In Kaveh's humble opinion, the title for The Worst Guy In The World is tied between four people: the asshole in his Tuesday eight am, the employee behind the library email account, the guy writing the university's advice column, and the student that the professor he assists always complains about.

    It would only be too convenient if they were all the same person. (They are.)
