    Summary

    A wedding invitation.

    A divorce request.

    A question neither of them is prepared to answer.

    When marriage becomes the topic of the evening, Veritas Ratio offers logic.

    Aventurine offers doubt.

    Between bets, broken promises, and the weight of old winters, they attempt to define what “forever” is supposed to mean.

    Summary

    Just a bit more.

    The sand was falling harder from the stone ceiling, trickling down like a waterfall, stones that constructed the ceiling crumbled, and Kaveh tried to make his legs run faster to no avail. The continuous bleeding from his abdomen made him dizzy, weakening his hold on the unconscious boy, his body faltering and hitting the wall on his side when he felt a hand on his back.

    There was a push.

    And then, before he realized it, he fell forward, body lurching into the sand while something rumbled, creating noises so loud and rough vibration akin to an earthquake. Red eyes ignored the sting, and he forced his blink reflexes to stop as a hand fanned away all sand to clear his sight. All of that, and only to see that he was out of the now-collapsing temple, with a sharp realization that he had just narrowly escaped it. Call it his luck, but–

    “Alhaitham?”

    It took one wrong move for everything to fall apart. Alhaitham could no longer see, and Kaveh was seeking forgiveness. Their world revolved around the sound of footsteps, small touches, and moving the chair to clear the way.

    Summary

    “As if I have any eye for art,” Mydei replies.

    Castorice rolls her eyes. “As if plating isn’t just sculpture with food.”

    He opens his mouth to fire back a snide rejoinder, realizes she’s right, and holds his tongue instead. She’s doing him a favor, forcing him out of his house, one of his only friends who’s stuck with him over the past year of tremendous, never-ending grief. No one knows how to deal with a widower’s pain and loss. No one wants to. But Castorice has faced even more death than he has, and she hasn’t let him pull away from the world despite his attempts.

    After the unexpected death of his partner, Khaslana, about a year ago, Mydei meets photographer Phainon at a gallery exhibition he's forced to attend by his friend, Castorice. Unexpected sparks fly between them as they grow closer through Phainon's photography.

    Summary

    News reaches him in a hushed murmur, muttered into errant ears, lips hidden behind ink-stained hands.

    Alhaitham drowns them out, the majority of rumors that circulate the halls of the Akademiya, but something about this one catches his attention, bypasses his earpieces, stutters his steps. It’s a name: bitter and familiar, like coffee that scalds the tongue and invigorates the mind. Kaveh, they whisper.

    Well, why listen to a rumor without verifying the validity yourself?
