    Summary

    Instead of a smugly grinning Howeitat, there stands El Aurens, and the first thing Ali can think of is that even the war could not make this man less beautiful.

    The expression on Lawrence’s face is uncertain, but for the first time since he returned from Cairo, there is a little of his old fire behind those eyes. “I did not know you to blaspheme, Sherif.”

    Ali huffs, stepping away and wiping fiercely at his tears. “I did not know you to care, English.”

    “No,” Lawrence sighs, suddenly serious. “I haven’t done very well with that, have I?”

     

    (or, what could have happened if Lawrence overheard one critical conversation in the courtyards of Damascus...)

    Summary

    After convincing Auda to join their fight, Ali and Lawrence share a private moment in Wadi Rhumm.

    “I don’t like you, English,” Ali said simply.

    It was a late attempt at pride, for the ferocity of their meeting mouths had likely betrayed how much he did, in fact, like the other man.

    “No, Sherif.” The words were knowing, patient. "I wouldn't think so."
