    Summary

    Kaveh expects some offhandedly smug, smooth remark from Alhaitham about how Kaveh’s his senior but never acts like it, or how it was the most logical outcome given the circumstances and he’s being a child for debating with him about it. But he just mumbles, low and almost petulant, “It is what it is.” He won’t meet Kaveh’s eyes. “You can’t move out.”

    Kaveh balks at him before rubbing at his face furiously. “You can’t be serious. You can’t be serious,” he laughs, almost delirious. There’s no way his luck has reached this new low. He knows the ascended heroes on Celestia are guffawing at his misfortune. “Why would you do that when you’ve always wanted me to leave anyway?”

    Alhaitham stares at him for a long moment before sighing, slipping into his seat and sliding his plate of Kaveh’s carefully constructed Fatteh towards him primly. “Why indeed,” he drones, sounding exhausted. “Why indeed.”

    or: in which there’s a cohabitation clause in sumeru city’s body of legislation; a pair who lives together for longer than six months, files taxes together, and presents as a couple are considered married by law. who knew. (alhaitham, apparently.)

    Summary

    Each day, Kaveh is transferred to a different parallel reality, and in every single one of those, he and Alhaitham are together:

    Waking up in Alhaitham’s arms felt more familiar on the third day. By the fourth, it was fully expected and, by the fifth, he found himself snuggling into those warm arms and sometimes smiling at the “Good morning, sweetheart,” before reminding himself of the situation and sitting down a very confused Alhaitham for a very confusing conversation. It’s not you he loves, he reminded himself, time and time again.

    Summary

    Kaveh is half-hidden in the chiaroscuro light of the warehouse, so his expression is hard to discern. His fine clothes, always chosen with pride, are dirty and torn. A cloth gag is wrapped tight around his mouth.

    Before Al-Haitham can recover from the surprise, Paradisaea brandishes a pistol that he’s retrieved from the depths of his cloak. The metal’s gentle glint is almost blinding against the dark shadows- a single star in an empty night sky.

    Far too casually, he cocks the gun and places the barrel against the back of Kaveh’s head.

    “I won’t repeat myself again. Leave,” Paradisaea says, calm as ever. “Unless you want to see the architect’s brains paint the town red, of course. Blood is very ‘in’ this season, you know.”

    Summary

    Despite its injuries, the dragon doesn’t hesitate to snarl and snap at anyone brave - or stupid - enough to get close to its head. When it growls, the sound is low and rumbling like an earthquake. Its sharp gaze sweeps back and forth between its enemies, baring its teeth, its irises piercing like brilliant jewels -

    A jolt of shock goes through Kaveh. His heart, once beating faster than a cicin’s wings, stutters to a stop in his chest.

    Those eyes.

    He would know them anywhere.

    Haitham.

    Before he can second-guess what he’s about to do, Kaveh uses all his might to force his way to the edge of the crowd. With what little space he’s given, he leaps from the stone pathway and into the open air, grabbing onto Mehrak’s handle to help slow his fall. Together they plummet a hundred meters in a matter of seconds, ignoring the screams of shock and confusion that erupt from the mob of people they leave behind.
