    Summary

    The amulet is only supposed to make the emperor fall in love with him. It is not meant to show Kaveh a vision of his former life where he learns his current reality is the plot of a web novel, but it does that, too, somehow.

    This revelation allows Kaveh to start fixing all the tragedies that befall the characters in the novel. It allows him to truly connect with others and find companionship where his ignorant counterpart only found loneliness.

    But it also makes Kaveh feel terrible when Al-Haitham falls in love with him instead of the heroine, Nilou. It’s all because of the spell, Kaveh repeats to himself, but his traitorous heart starts feeling emotions it most definitely shouldn’t.

    But… maybe the curse isn’t what Kaveh thought it was. Maybe, at the end of the day, this could be real.

    Yet another Kaveh reincarnates into an Al-Haitham/Nilou and makes it Al-Haitham/Kaveh. You love reading them; I love writing them. Blame Lovingducks

    Summary

    When Sucrose, Albedo, and Lisa begin clinical, controlled trials on a potential love potion, they're delighted to find that it works just as expected. Until, of course, they administer the potion to Kaeya.

    Albedo needs to know why there is an outlier in the data, and why Kaeya is the only person wholly unaffected by the potion.

    Perhaps being in love just isn't in their nature.

    Summary

    "Help," Loki says, his voice completely flat, "I've fallen and I can't get up."

    "Did you just," Stark begins, staring over at him with some sort of horror. He's standing in the kitchen, cradling what appears to be a gallon of coffee close to his chest as if to protect it from Loki's villainy. "No! No, no, no! You aren't allowed to make jokes that I would make! You're evil! Be silent and brooding!"

    "Oh, I'm sorry, is my existence bothering you?"

    "Yes," Stark says, "there are actually few things right now that bother me as much as you do."

    OR: in between the "puny god" scene and his sentencing on Asgard, Loki gets caught in a time loop. He'd his refund now, please.

    (Odin is a shitty parent, the Avengers are confused, Loki is just trying not to go even more insane than he already is, and the author is starting to wonder why she has so much dialogue from these movies memorized.)
