Summary
“Alhaitham.
I won’t say my dear, my dearest or my love, or any other sweet names you don’t deserve. You never call me those anyway. But it doesn’t matter.Because this is goodbye. You won't see me for a while.”
The newly reinstated Scribe- not Acting Grand Sage anymore- with the biggest salary any Scribe has ever gained- finally free from all the pompous titles saving a nation bestow upon you- Alhaitham, just freshly clocked-out for the day, already has enough of this bullshit.
He might have neglected Kaveh for a bit. True. But who could judge him? Do you know how many books he missed out on while being the Acting Grand Sage?
Anyway, from the unprecedented dramatics in this one greeting and first four sentences of a five-page letter, he hopes not all of Sumeru is involved in their lover’s spat.

Summary
In a perfect world, Alhaitham had known that something was so very wrong when he opened that door and found nothing but the silence he wished for. Instead, he let out a relieved sigh, tossing his key into a bowl and his coat in the general direction of the coat rack. When he let himself sink into the divan, groaning from the surges of pain troubling him from the many bruises he gained during his overthrowing of the government and kicking his boots off his sore feet, he couldn’t help but think how lucky it was that Kaveh didn’t come home yet.
___
When Kaveh doesn't come home from his work trip, Alhaitham tries to deny his concern about the architect. Surely, the blonde just got sidetracked on the way or stopped at one of his friend's house for a visit. There is no reason to panic or to search for him anywhere the scribe could think of, especially since Alhaitham's feelings for him were gone after their fight so many moons ago. But that is exactly what he is doing, chasing after a man he swears he doesn't even like. Maybe the scribe is not as good at hiding his true intentions as he thinks he is.

Summary
Alhaitham studied it, not letting much emotion show on his face, making Kaveh worry. The blonde awkwardly looked away before clearing his throat and slowly bringing his hands up. - “Me and you…” - He pointed a finger at his chest, then Alhaitham’s, and finally put his hands together and shook them. - “...could we be friends?” - He looked back up.
He regretted asking the moment he saw the way Alhaitham stared at him.
Is Kaveh stupid?! This is the kid he bullied! Of course Alhaitham would want nothing to do with him! He has every right to run from Kaveh. To punch him, yell at him, flip him off…
“I’m– so sorry, I don’t know why I said that!” - He waved his hands - “I should.. Go...”
Alhaitham put the notebook under his arm and hesitated before nodding. - “Okay. Let’s be friends.” - He didn’t look convinced. But he still gave Kaveh a chance.
Kaveh was given a chance.

a book not placed where it should’ve been or for dust not cleaned. He pulled one ear out of his
headphone and the only thing he could hear was silence."Series

But Alhaitham didn't expect him to be a vampire, and Kaveh didn't expect him to be a hunter.

Summary
Kaveh knew he was trans for years. He'd never told anyone, except his own mother, and Alhaitham. He almost had the confidence to come out publicly. Then the fight breaking up their friendship changed his thoughts. Once Kaveh, and Alhaitham had a falling out, Kaveh had gotten back into the closet.
Kaveh had gone to school to become an architect, getting into a one-sided love marriage once he graduated. Not long after he found out he was pregnant.
Once they had divorced, he transitioned, he became tired of faking his life. He had his life to focus on, especially for his own daughter, Mehrak.
One commission he wasn't expecting.
He had to design a home for Alhaitham. Maybe there's a chance he didn't remember him.

My light,
I have been absent from you too long. For that, I have no apology worthy enough for the forgiveness I ask of you now. I am ill.

Summary
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.
“I’m in love with you.”

Summary
Kaveh has a terminal illness that is eating away at his body. As much as he tries to hide it from his irritable roomate, behind the bickering, Alhaitham cares too much to not realize his roomate is suffering. As they navigate the illness, they grow closer, even in the face of the inevitable. Or is it inevitable?
A one shot fic that has a lot of hurting— but a lot of comfort too.
I’m sorry I make Kaveh suffer SO MUCH

Summary
“The Flower Mistress’s Regret?” Kaveh repeats the words and it makes him feel queasy inside, “Isn’t that what the legend calls that….. story of a goddess and her retainer?”
The small goddess hums thoughtfully, “That story is not passed down quite as accurately.” Her eyes are downcast as she says this, looking near grief stricken.
“Oh?” Kaveh feels rather sheepish at the display, especially since he caused it and swallows down the urge to pick her up and hug away the sadness she wears.
“It’s true she was the Goddess of Flowers, but he was not just any retainer of hers; the silent love was actually the Scarlet King.” She explains mournfully, “His love doomed them and the land, so she cursed herself.”
“She…. cursed herself?” Kaveh inhales sharply, his throat cinsticting as deard fills his gut. He could imagine it, torn by the grief of an unrecognised love, a punishment she placed on herself.
How awful, and yet Kaveh feels as though it was exactly what he would have done. Ironic that.

Summary
Kaveh has tried many times to fall in love. And just as many times, he's failed. Now, an upcoming festival may force him to admit to himself that he doesn't feel it - not the romantic kind, at least. And then there are his growing feelings for Alhaitham, which certainly aren't romantic, but aren't entirely platonic, either.
And Alhaitham? He just wants to be close to Kaveh, but that seems impossible when Kaveh keeps misinterpreting his gestures.
(A fic about queerplatonic Alhaitham and Kaveh!)

Candles for A Scribe (Among Other Things) by ACoffeeAddictDraws

Summary
Let it be known for the record that Al-Haitham does not like surprise parties. Or any kind of parties at all, for that matter. But does that stop his overly-enthusiastic group of friends (Because he has friends now. Multiple. More than he ever expected he would.) from throwing him one anyway? Absolutely not. You get acquainted with some people to overthrow a corrupt government just once and the next thing you know, you walk in on them decking your house with streamers, balloons and an obnoxiously large banner. Typical.

Somehow, Kaveh feels like a ghost too.
He feels like a phantom walking amongst the living, his soul lost the day he got the letter. He feels like he’s already died, his body buried right next to Alhaitham’s as it is lowered into the ground.
