    Summary

    It starts with a single strand of fur clinging to the collar of his cape.

    Nothing overly alarming, considering the company they keep. Which, really, means that it’s a minor inconvenience, at best. Something that can be brushed off with a twist of a brow or light sigh. Nothing memorable nor remarkable.

    At least, that’s how it starts.

    Kaveh starts feeding the stray cat that keeps coming around. Or, a house becomes a home for three.

    Summary

    Alarm overtook Kaveh’s expression as he looked back and forth between Alhaitham and the matra, dropping his sketchpad and leaping to his feet. “Why is there a guard here? Did you get hurt?”

    “Some idiot decided poisoning me to obtain state secrets would be an optimal use of a Tuesday morning,” Alhaitham replied with a deep sigh.

    Kaveh’s hands hovered uselessly in the air for a few moments as he stared at Alhaitham. “I’m sorry, what?”

    Leaning back against the wall, Alhaitham let out a weary exhale. “Truth serum,” he said tiredly, raking his fingers through his hair then dropping his hand down to rub his throat. “I can’t lie.”

    Kaveh’s eyes widened. “Oh my gods. Are you - are you okay?” Hurrying forward, Kaveh - with his blessedly fully covered legs - guided Alhaitham onto the divan, hands steady despite the panic in his voice.

    “I don’t know. I’m just glad you’re wearing pants,” was all Alhaitham managed to answer.

    Summary

    “Could you help me put it on?”

    Taking the necklace from Kaveh with a lingering brush of their fingers, he stepped close and suddenly, Kaveh was realizing why asking for Alhaitham's help was a very, very bad idea.

    The air turned heavy as Alhaitham laid the necklace around his neck, making sure that the pendant rested on the warmed skin right above his heart.

    Then, without breaking eye contact, he leaned down and pressed a reverent kiss on Kaveh's nape—so featherlight that Kaveh wondered if he was imagining things—just above the clasp of the necklace.

    in which Kaveh and Alhaitham are in love with each other but don’t know it yet.

    Summary

    “How would you like to do this?”

    Kaveh, uncharacteristically shy, replies, “On… on the wrist should be fine.”

    And Alhaitham can’t help it—he’s found that in the past few months of living with Kaveh, he’s so ridiculously fun to tease.

    “And not on the neck?” he teases, tilting his head down and looking up at Kaveh through his lashes. It’s not a look he employs often, because being coy isn’t really his thing, but with Kaveh, who’s fully aware that it’s an act, it’s even more fun to see him splutter and turn red despite knowing Alhaitham doesn’t act like that in actuality.

    Alhaitham's an incubus who doesn't mind feeding once in a while. Kaveh's a vampire who staunchly refuses to feed on humans except when strictly necessary. They work it out.

    Summary

    Although Kaveh’s name sits in the Reaping Bowl 242 times, it’s 11-year-old Collei that gets reaped for the 99th Hunger Games under the Tsaritsa’s reign. When Kaveh volunteers to take her place, he sets a tragedy in motion neither of them could have anticipated.

    Because Alhaitham is set on bringing him home - even if it means walking into an arena of death. As he joins Kaveh as the second tribute of District 12 the promise of keeping Kaveh alive is a declaration of love and war in one, a spark of revolution set alight after years of oppression under the Archon of Love.

    Tighnari managed to save Collei but the costs feel unbearable. Now he has to mentor both of his best friends and guide them through the Hunger Games, where only one person can ever win. And as a former victor himself, he knows the winner is never among the tributes.

    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

    And despite that... Kaveh is… “Lovesick?”

    Kaveh’s hands move to cover his face, palms muffling his words as he mutters, “It’s—not quite like that.”

    “Well, the ‘sick’ aspect is accurate, at least.”

    “No shit,” Kaveh snorts. “The ‘love’ component, though—it’s, uh—”

    “You’re not in love?”

    He coughs. “The greenhouse in my lungs begs to differ. I—it’s more that my body is mourning a love it knows can’t ever be requited.”

    For all the negative feelings Alhaitham’s encountered over the past twelve hours, the sensation that creeps through him now is…

    Unfamiliar.

    Unknowable.

    Despite all the languages he’s fluent in, Alhaitham is unable to conjure a word or phrase with which he can immediately label it. He just knows that whatever this feeling is, it’s unbelievably unpleasant. Like his body is stationary, yet his internal organs are plummeting into the Abyss.

    “You love someone who doesn’t love you back?” he asks after a moment.

    Kaveh has Hanahaki. That much is known. But who he loves, and whether Alhaitham will be able to save him, is up in the air.

    Summary

    People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.

    There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.

    Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

    Summary

    “Just take me already, won't you?”

    It's hard to see Alhaitham’s face like this, but Kaveh doesn't need to see to know the picture that Alhaitham’s face paints right now: a single thick brow raised, and an overall unimpressed look across his eyes.

    “Take you?” Alhaitham eventually asks. His hands pause at the nape of Kaveh’s neck, a reprieve from the kneading he had been doing at the freckled skin. “I thought you wanted me to spank you.”

    Or, Kaveh wants to be spanked, and who would be Alhaitham if not privy to Kaveh's every whim? A damn fool, that's for sure. Good thing Alhaitham's anything but.

    Summary

    Tighnari had learned to read Alhaitham over the years, knew his moods as well as his own, knew how empathetic he was under his stoic demeanour but this here was something entirely new.

    This here, had Tighnari’s heart beat fast.

    “Cyno can do it if he wants,” Alhaitham murmured to Tighnari, watching both their partners immersed in their card game.

    “Do what?”

    “Kiss my husband.”

    In which Cyno has a crush on Alhaitham's husband Kaveh and his boyfriend Tighnari urges him to act on it.

    Summary

    Tighnari’s jaw snaps shut. They both watch in silence as Al-Haitham, ritual worshiper of the daily workplace routine, a transcendently habitual creature set in his ways since the moment he accepted this job offer, reaches thoughtlessly into his desk organizer for a pen and instead comes up with three-quarters of a pastel blue crayon.

    Al-Haitham pauses. He looks down at the crayon in his hand; then, at the document he was about to sign. Next, he casts his gaze across the rest of his desk, where it lands on a sheet of scratch-n-sniff stickers in place of his post-its and a heart-shaped hole punch replacing his stapler. His hand visibly twitches.

    I will get you, he mouths at Kaveh. Then he puts down the crayon and signs the phrase without breaking eye contact, just to be thorough.

    Good luck, moron, Kaveh signs back. Then he blows a kiss.

    Al-Haitham and Kaveh have a totally normal and mature workplace prank war of totally normal and mature proportions.

    StreamElements: cautioninconfidence and kaveh are 100% in love paradiAYAYA

    Kaveh has successfully kept his relationship with Alhaitham a secret for three years now, so why has Alhaitham suddenly decided to publicly bring him up and link them together for all to see? Of course, it’s just to make fun of him!

    Now, both on the internet and in real life, Kaveh can’t escape the hold Alhaitham has on him — on his mind, his body, or his heart. But the question is: does he even want to?

    “And what if the team doesn't step up and we lose?” Al-Haitham points out.

    “We won't,” Kaveh shakes his head. “They’re strong. I’ll be there. And I have you.”

    --

    Kaveh's father liked to joke that when Kaveh was a baby, his mother handed him a volleyball instead of a pacifier.

    Ignorantly, Alhaitham thought if he ignored the ache in his chest, as he always did, it would eventually fade like all things do.

    It did not.

    It deepened and deepened.

    And now.

    It does what unhealed wounds do.

    It splits open and ruins him in the process.

    Summary

    They’re all sitting in Kaveh’s online shopping cart, poorly hidden by another window he’s dragged over the page, as if he’s trying to hide it. He scrolls through the top page, some website he’s definitely pretending to read. Oh, it's cute, the effort he’s gone through 一 albeit not much 一 to try to keep this from Alhaitham, if that is the intention, of course.

    He could leave it and see how it plays out, or he could tease Kaveh a little bit.

    There’s only one correct option.

    // or, Alhaitham accidentally looks over Kaveh's shoulder while he's shopping online for lingerie and sex toys.

    Summary

    The white, almost knee-length dress he wore was tailor-made, with a triangular window that stretched all the way down to the small of his back. His lean arms were on display due to the short sleeves, his slim waist accentuated by the skirt that flowed from it, near feather-light.

    But as beautiful as it was, that didn't stop it from digging into his hip every now and again, like it was now. Kaveh's body begged for him to adjust it.

    He would, if not for his hands bound behind his back, red silk to match the colour of his heels.
