    Summary

    After the resealing of the Primordial Sea, the Chief Justice received a letter from the Duke. Pushed by desires, pulled away by duty, neither can resist the siren song urging them to get closer and closer like crashing waves.

    Wriothesley is giving chase to a dream, and Neuvillette is scared to fall any deeper. How long will it be until they realise those precious moments have a name?

    _____________________________

    A courtship story where Wriothesley and Neuvillette are getting really close while steadily telling themselves to stay apart for the greater good (at first)

    Summary

    In which Wriothesley, owner of a wildlife rescue and sanctuary, rescues a weird-looking not-gopher in a pool, which leads him down a strange mystery involving a government conspiracy, an illegal smuggling ring, and a Iudex that has disappeared from the office, sending Fontaine in a frenzy. Little does he know, the missing Iudex Neuvillette is a lot closer to him than he realizes.

    (All he has to do is look closer at the fluffy otter creature currently curled against his chest, shamelessly using his pecs as his pillow.)

    Summary

    A man who lives and works within the same four walls is a canary in a gilded cage. If the doors are open and he does not fly, then the bars are of his own making, and comfort is his foundation.


    Wriothesley discovers that Neuvillette is touch-starved, and reaches out. However, to save a man who is self-imposed in isolation, he must be willing to reach back in reciprocation.

    Written as a gift for the Wriolette Winter Exchange 2026.

    Summary

    “Archons, Wriothesley, when did that happen?” Clorinde immediately asked after finishing reading the letter.
    “What do you mean?”
    “What I mean is that this definitely reads like a courting letter.” She rolled her eyes.
    That was definitely not what Wriothesley was expecting to hear. “Wait, are you serious?” he immediately shot back. “Do you think he is courting me?"

    Perhaps Neuvillette and Wriothesley had a complete different idea of where their weekend was supposed to go.

    Summary

    Finally, Wriothesley said, “It’s loud, today.”

    He meant the sky. He meant the sorrow. He meant you.

    Neuvillette tilted his head. “It is.”

    Wriothesley wanted to ask what had made it so, but something in Neuvillette’s posture told him not to. Not yet. Instead, he tried something else. Something foolish. Something tender.

    “…Do you think you could teach me how to speak to it?”

    Neuvillette turned to look at him fully now. Wriothesley met his eyes without flinching.

    “You wish to learn to speak to the rain?”

    Wriothesley nodded, sheepish. “You always seem to know what it’s saying. I figure… maybe I should try to listen too.”

    Neuvillette regarded him in that impossible way of his, like he was not just observing, but witnessing. As if Wriothesley’s soul had poked out from beneath his skin and Neuvillette had caught it, cradled it, questioned it. It made his stomach twist, made his fingers clench, made something fragile rattle in his throat.

    Or, two men learn to speak a language made of silence and rain.

    Summary

    “Oh god,” Kaveh gasps, his hand flying to his mouth. “Al-Haitham has a crush on Cyno.”

    Kaveh, who can sense other people's emotions, thinks that Al-Haitham has a crush on Cyno. Al-Haitham thinks Kaveh is an idiot.

    Summary

    Kaveh stares at the neatly packed bento box laying before Al-Haitham, housing neatly sliced vegetables and glistening, fresh rice.

    “Who made you that?” Kaveh asks, not bothering to hide the vengeance in his voice. “Your work husband?”

    Al-Haitham lets the fork go slack in his hands and just stares at him. “Kaveh,” he says, in the sort of tone someone might say dude.

    “Don’t dude me,” Kaveh says, aghast.

    Kaveh is interested in discovering who Al-Haitham's elusive work husband is. Al-Haitham is only interested in Kaveh.

    Summary

    “They say that earnest thanks should be given thrice, so… one more time, please.”

    Kaveh has never even heard that expression. But if Alhaitham insists upon it, then fine. Surely such a rule applies to other things as well…

    Alhaitham, on his part, is up for the challenge.

    Or: three times Alhaitham confesses his love to Kaveh, and one time Kaveh confesses back.

    Summary

    Shortly after a new council of Sages is appointed at the Akademiya, they unearth a database of all the dreams that were harvested from the people of Sumeru. In what is intended to be an act of goodwill, the council plans to offer the citizens the chance to collect special Dream Capsules containing the dreams that were stolen from them.

    As Acting Grand Sage, Alhaitham is invited—tasked, really—to be the first to trial his Dream Capsule. He doesn’t know what to expect, and doesn’t know whether to be disappointed when he finds that many of his old dreams don’t seem much different from the dreams he has been having ever since the Akasha was disabled.

    His past and present dreams of Kaveh, shifting like the sands over the years, appear to be the exception.

    Summary

    Mehrak may not be the smartest piece of machinery out there, but it is nothing if not devoted to its creator. Anything Kaveh asks of it, Mehrak will perform to the best of its capabilities.

    One day, it finds itself presented with its greatest challenge yet: to make Kaveh “happy”.

    In which Mehrak mistakes a throwaway comment from Kaveh as an order and does everything in its (regrettably limited) power to fulfill it. When it realizes that Kaveh’s happiness could lie with a certain roommate, it intends to throw everything it has into playing matchmaker.

    (And if it learns a little bit more about itself along the way—well, all the better, right?)

    Summary

    “I’m glad you’re okay,” Al-Haitham says, throwing a sideways glance at Kaveh as he turns back towards his stack of essays. “It would’ve been pretty embarrassing to die in a library.”

    “Fuck you,” Kaveh coughs.

    “Sad and alone,” Al-Haitham drones, “amongst rows of old, racist philosophers.”

    Kaveh groans, finally having caught his breath for the most part. “You,” he says, his voice still raspy, “are the most annoying person I’ve ever met.”

    Al-Haitham snorts. “An honor.”

    two idiots in love who don’t know they’re in love. classic

    Summary

    “What do you do with the flowers?”

    Al-Haitham paused. “What do you mean?”

    “Like, what do you do with the flowers you cough up? Do you keep them or…?”

    He furrowed his eyebrows. “What—why would I keep them? I obviously throw them away. Why are you asking?”

    “I was just wondering—I mean if you’re not using them—like, if I could possibly…have them?”

    Al-Haitham stared at him incredulously. “You want my unrequited love flowers?”

    “Yes?” Kaveh flushed red. “Since…since you’re not using them.”

    Since you’re not using them—

    “What the hell would I be using them for? What the hell are you using them for?”

    Al-Haitham has Hanahaki disease and coughs up mourning flowers. Kaveh asks if he can use them for his ascension materials.

    “Prove it.”

    Kaveh paused. Slowly, he turned around. “What?”

    “Prove that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh tilted his head. “And how do you suggest I do that?”

    “Date me,” said Al-Haitham. “Prove to me that you won’t fall in love.”

    Kaveh keeps getting broken up with and is on the verge of giving up on love when Al-Haitham propositions him.

    Summary

    Alhaitham wakes up with amnesia. The hows and whys of waking up with amnesia don’t seem to concern him as much as trying to figure out what the deal between him and his very attractive roommate is. Meanwhile, Kaveh has been saddled with an amnesiac roommate, many questions about how he ended up with an amnesiac roommate, and more than one love confession from the very same amnesiac roommate.

    For the sake of his sanity, he’ll ignore that third thing.

    Summary

    “Why are you doing this?” Alhaitham asked quietly. He asked it more to the bowl of soup than to Kaveh himself. Kaveh put a hand on his hip, holding out the spoon for Alhaitham to take.

    “What do you mean, why? Like I’m just supposed to leave you to suffer?”

    “You’re going to catch… whatever this is. It’s the better choice to just go to work like normal and leave me alone to let it run its course.”

    Kaveh scoffed. “Well, that’s just heartless. Would you have left me like this?”

    “Yes.”

    Five times Alhaitham shows affection in public while they're not even together, and one time Kaveh does.

    Just a very very soft, short fic that I've been wanting to finish for a while now. It's honestly just me being self indulgent and also feeding my friend. Enjoy.

    He’s never helped a stranger before, never even bothered to hold the door open for someone. The notion of stooping upon the dirty bathroom floor to retrieve papers defied his character entirely. And yet.

    Summary

    “There you go, being quiet again.” Kaveh laughs. It sounds tragic. When Alhaitham doesn’t respond, Kaveh hums as if in thought. “How about I guess? I feel like after all this time… I should be pretty good at reading your mind.”

    Alhaitham folds his arms over his chest. The only light is the dull green of their visions and the vague, white moonlight hidden behind the clouds. None of it is enough to see Kaveh in detail, but he can sense that Kaveh has turned and is standing close to him.

    “You’re currently thinking this is stupid, and that I’m being ridiculous.”

    “Miraculous. A prognostication worthy of an oracle.”

    “Shut up. I’m more interested in what’s behind that, though. The things you said when I couldn’t hear you. It was about me, wasn’t it?”

    or: alhaitham pines for kaveh, and he's not sure what comes next.
