    Summary

    “Uh, what—?”

    This plan is so ill-advised, it is sure to get him laughed at or even kicked out, but the words are out of his mouth already, and he surely can’t take them back now, so he has to press on—

    “You heard me right. I need you to pretend to be my lover.”

    In which Kaveh asks Alhaitham to pretend to be his partner to get his mom’s approval and to hide that he’s in debt, and feelings that were always bubbling under the surface arise.

    Summary

    Alhaitham had always liked taking both keys when he left for work. He couldn’t resist, really. It was Kaveh’s fault for leaving his keys on the counter, and the look on the architect’s face when Alhaitham found him sulking on the porch was too good for the scribe to pass up. On one particular day, Alhaitham wished he had left his roommate’s keys on the table.

    or: Alhaitham comes home to find Kaveh wounded on the front porch and he has to work fast to save his life

    Summary

    While Nahida is away on business with the traveler, Acting Grand Sage Alhaitham receives a request from Kshahrewar to help deal with unruly Jnana energy. However, soon afterwards, dealing with memories of others taking up his mind, it is up to Alhaitham to figure out the truth behind the Jnana energy and survive long enough to save his own mind.

    “Alhaitham,” Kaveh says, his tone serious. “Are you alright?”

    As if a gear is slotted back a centimeter, back into the place it should be turning, a sense of dread comes to him and at least for a moment, the samurai leaves him.

    Kaveh called him by his name.

    Kaveh never calls him by his name.

    The astrologer takes over and speaks, “Everything is alright. It has simply been a long day.”

    Summary

    Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.

    No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.

    It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.

    or,

    Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.
