    Summary

    Somehow, they end up like this, Kaveh’s shirt half off and Al-Haitham’s own shirt hastily unbuttoned, and now they’re both just staring at each other in the mortifying emptiness of Al-Haitham’s apartment.

    “This isn’t supposed to be happening,” Kaveh says, chest heaving. “You go against everything I stand for.”

    Al-Haitham scoffs. “Oh, get over yourself, it’s a school club.”

    “Fuck you too,” Kaveh hisses, and then he kisses him.

    In which two enemies (Al-Haitham and Kaveh) despite their bitter rivalry (opposing college club loyalties) come together in spite of their differences. (They hook up. Occasionally. Like Kaveh said, it wasn't supposed to happen.)

    Al-Haitham just wants to get to know Kaveh. Enough of this rivalry bullshit.

    Summary

    “I’m an angel,” the angel says, doing jazz hands a little pathetically. “It means I’m here to save you. Don’t you remember me? We met that day in the records room, but I understand if you don’t remember. You were a little distracted.”

    “I was a little distracted being stabbed,” Al-Haitham says unbelievingly. “Also, angels aren’t real.”

    In which Kaveh is an angel, Al-Haitham is a disgruntled working man, and this can't end any way but badly.

    Summary

    “Will you allow me to ask you something selfish?” he asks quietly. “Don’t marry her.”

    Kaveh sucks in a deep breath. “You don’t understand, Al-Haitham, I—”

    “Marry me instead,” Al-Haitham says.

    In which Al-Haitham is the rich and polished bachelor of the town, Kaveh is an architect down on his luck, and all Al-Haitham wants is to make Kaveh his friend.

    Really.

    Summary

    “Ah, to think that you were hiding in plain sight all this time… How amusing.” The Doctor smirked. “ So, “Alhaitham” is the name you go by… Did you choose it, or did someone else pick it out for you?”

    “The situation regarding my identity is none of your business. What is it that you want from my Archon?”

    In which there was more to the Akasha than anyone ever knew.

    Summary

    “I mean, do you ever stop and think about who your anonymous friend might be?" Tighnari says. "Or like, maybe it’s someone you already know or some random guy in one of your classes.”

    “No,” Kaveh says, thinking. “With my luck, if I did know him already, then he would probably be the worst person I know. Someone like Al-Haitham.” The thought is so absurd that he stops and laughs. “But that would be fucking awful.”

    In Kaveh's humble opinion, the title for The Worst Guy In The World is tied between four people: the asshole in his Tuesday eight am, the employee behind the library email account, the guy writing the university's advice column, and the student that the professor he assists always complains about.

    It would only be too convenient if they were all the same person. (They are.)
