    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

    “Do you mean to tell me,” Kaveh hisses. “That I got hit by a ley line and got cat ears?”

    “Lion ears,” Alhaitham corrects, dispelling the mirror. He seems remarkably unfazed by all of this, blinking curiously at Kaveh’s new appendages. “You seem to be in possession of a tail as well.”

    A ley line accident leaves Alhaitham and Kaveh with snow leopard and lion features, respectively. As they wait for the effects to (hopefully) wear off, they realize the ley line might have had some effects that go beyond changes to their physical appearance...

    In other words, Alhaitham figures out he can purr, but only when Kaveh is touching him. Cuddling for purely scientific reasons (and totally nothing more) ensues.

    Summary

    Kaveh wakes up to find that Mehrak has turned into a human child.

    A door creaked open. Kaveh let the spatula fall onto the floor with a clatter at the reminder that he had no idea how his roommate would react, and Alhaitham—

    “Dad!” Mehrak exclaimed, dashing into the corridor.

    Summary

    Kaveh gets injured on a job site, leaving him with significant damage to his eyes, temporarily - or perhaps permanently - unable to see. Completely blind, he has to learn to view the world through a whole new lens.

    “There’s a good chance that the injury to his eyes won’t heal. He may lose his sight. Permanently.”

    Alhaitham's heart plummeted. He glanced down at Kaveh's pale face, the bandage obscuring his eyes as he lay unconscious suddenly seeming far more oppressive.

    “I see,” Alhaitham eventually managed through the lump forming in his throat. It would be Kaveh's life, his career - his entire livelihood - in jeopardy when he awoke.

    The prospect of Kaveh’s blindness tormented Alhaitham for countless reasons, but selfishly... he couldn’t bear the thought of never again seeing those beautiful crimson-golden eyes, the very essence of the light in his life - eyes that lit up with joy at a good meal or a perfectly aged glass of wine, blazed with passion as he argued with Alhaitham, and stared up at him with an innocent, soul-stirring warmth, always so unaware of the profound effect the mere sight of him had on Alhaitham.

    Summary

    "Okay, but objectively," Kaveh started, pacing back and forth across the living room rug, "do you guys think he's hot?"

    "We've never seen his face, Kaveh."

    "Stop looking at me like that. I just want to know if he's handsome. Is that a crime?"

    Alhaitham, who had gone very quiet, snapped his book shut.

    "I need to make a call."

    Kaveh blinked at him. "A call? To who?"

    "Work."

    Tighnari frowned. "You've never mentioned what you actually do for work."

    Alhaitham was already halfway to the door. "Because none of you would understand it."

    Kaveh is a cosplayer; in other words, a modern-day Prince Charming in a world where chivalry is dead, as quoted from Cyno.

    All artists know that art, in any form, comes from a fundamental basis of inspiration. He's a very big fan of the anonymous comic book author known by the pseudonym “Sage". He doesn't make much of an effort to hide this fact.

    The only issue is this: he also has no idea that "Sage" lives in the same apartment, one door down.
