    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.

    Summary

    Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.

    “Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
    “Newton?”
    “What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
    “Dia-what?”
    “Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
    “...”
    “Next.”

    It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.

    “Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”

    Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja is in the right place at the right time, leading to a sudden career change from a lowly corporate slave to the manager of the biggest name in esports, Yoo Joonghyuk. Given a 90-day probation to determine further employment, can Kim Dokja stand up to the Supreme-King's demands, or will he be crushed under his boot like the string of ex-managers that have come before him?

    However, a better question is: Will Yoo Joonghyuk be able to stand up to Kim Dokja's casually devastating charm?

    Summary

    Alarm overtook Kaveh’s expression as he looked back and forth between Alhaitham and the matra, dropping his sketchpad and leaping to his feet. “Why is there a guard here? Did you get hurt?”

    “Some idiot decided poisoning me to obtain state secrets would be an optimal use of a Tuesday morning,” Alhaitham replied with a deep sigh.

    Kaveh’s hands hovered uselessly in the air for a few moments as he stared at Alhaitham. “I’m sorry, what?”

    Leaning back against the wall, Alhaitham let out a weary exhale. “Truth serum,” he said tiredly, raking his fingers through his hair then dropping his hand down to rub his throat. “I can’t lie.”

    Kaveh’s eyes widened. “Oh my gods. Are you - are you okay?” Hurrying forward, Kaveh - with his blessedly fully covered legs - guided Alhaitham onto the divan, hands steady despite the panic in his voice.

    “I don’t know. I’m just glad you’re wearing pants,” was all Alhaitham managed to answer.

    Summary

    In the relentless whirl of deadlines and life turmoil, Kaveh finds himself sleepless and on the brink of crashing out. The project he’d been working on for hours is completely derailed from what the professor asked them to do, but that’s just one of the many things that he has to worry about. To sate his crisis, Kaveh turns to alcohol for comfort. One drink too many later, and Kaveh finds himself in the apartment of a hot stranger.

     

    Or where Kaveh gets absolutely drunk and wakes up in Ahaitham’s bed.

    Summary

    "I'm a haunted house," Kaveh declares like it's nothing less than a fact of life, and gestures at himself as if to show Alhaitham exactly where the phantoms are hiding. "I'm a relic of the past and the only reason people flock to me is to marvel at how cleverly I've hidden the signs of a haunting. They look at me and they don't see the ghosts in my rafters, the loose hinges of my doors, and the bones tucked under my bed. They see a haunted house that has repainted itself to parade as something worth living in."

    (Or, Kaveh may consider himself a haunted house, but Alhaitham knows that Kaveh has the ability to build and rebuild himself as many houses as he wishes, and the scribe would turn them all into a home.)

    Summary

    “Your earrings.”

    He had been so caught up in his chastising that he missed Alhaitham’s attention slip.

    “Oh. That’s right. A new jewellery stall set up today in the Grand Bazaar, and they gave discounts to the first few customers. The designs were so unique, I couldn’t just walk away without a closer look… What do you think?”

    He was sure that Alhaitham had likely only spoken to avoid a lecture, but this could be easily looked past. His unthinking question had been asked to invite further curiosity. What did Alhaitham think of his aesthetic choices? Yet, in the fleeting jab of a moment, he saw through it entirely into the heart. He saw how Alhaitham watched him, considered him, the gaze brushing his ear, his neck.

    If he kissed Alhaitham, Alhaitham would reciprocate.

    Well, of course. That was only natural. The sear of this discovery ebbed as if it hadn’t been at all; Alhaitham was raising his eyes, was parting his mouth to speak, and all else fell away.

    (Absorbed in his and Alhaitham’s unthinking intimacy, Kaveh initiates kisses between them without consideration of the consequences. Also, Kaveh finds out everyone thinks they’re married and deals with it Normally.)

    Summary

    Alhaitham has a vast array of knowledge: everybody knows that. How else would he keep his position as the Akademiya’s Scribe? He even served as Acting Grand Sage for a short period of time! One would think that this bright young man was the jack of all trades.

    What many people don’t know is that the feeble scholar isn’t very well versed when it comes to human emotions. Which tends to lead to situations such as the one he found himself in.

     

    Or: the five times Alhaitham attempted to confess to Kaveh and the one time Kaveh did the job for him.

    Summary

    In the land of Teyvat, there are an abundant variety of species.

    The Saurians of Natlan, the Blubberbeasts of Fontaine, each region has it's own unique creatures.

    Yet the most over looked are the common birds, and amongst those birds, there is one that stands out above all.

    And it chooses to haunt two academics whose love language is arguing through philosophy.

    Here we witness the life of a seagull seen through the eyes of others, who chooses to be a menace on purpose.

    A piece of fanfiction inspired by comments made between myself and the_untamed_poet25 in their wonderful works that is the series 'A Treatise on Intellectual Dumbasses and Their Incomprehensible Love'. And then the feathered menace ran off with the plot.

    Summary

    “Well,” is what Aglaea says at last. “This is certainly… a predicament.”

    Her voice is as unreadable as ever, so it could mean anything from this is manageable to this is a disaster the likes of which the Flame-Chase Journey will never recover from. As things stand, Mydei is more inclined to believe the latter.

    Beside them, Tribbie finally pops up from where she’s been studying their joined hands. “What Snowy said is true!” she proclaims in a voice far too cheerful for their current situation. “He and De are one hundred percent stuck to each other.”

    While out on patrol, Mydei and Phainon get hit with a curse that binds their hands together.

    “Why do they throw flowers?”

    “They’re well-wishes,” Phainon answers. “Crocuses are for new beginnings, cyclamen are for love, colchicum for fidelity. They’re blessing the marriage.”

    Mydei’s hand shifts a little lower, warm fingers circling Phainon’s wrist. “Your traditions are terribly sentimental.”

    Summary

    Every book in the universe one day ends up at the Library. They all come to Mydei’s desk, and it’s his pleasure to catalog them. For years, from the rising to the setting of the sun, he has sat at his desk entering those books into the card catalog before passing them off to his librarians to shelve. Though the librarians are the world’s heroes, and the Library rests firmly in the control of the Head Librarian, no one disputes that the Library is his. When someone wants to find a rare tome, they come first to him.

    “Enter,” he says as someone knocks on his door.

    Hephaestion opens the door. “A petitioner for the cataloguer,” he says, a smile playing across his lips. Mydei looks past Hephaestion to a silvery-haired young man, eager as a puppy, expression hopeful. It is no small thing to seek out Mydei’s help, and no small expense. This puppy looks as though he could hardly afford his own dinner. “This is Phainon,” Hephaestion continues. “Of Aedes Elysiae.”

    In a Library that contains more than just books, Phainon commissions Chief Cataloguer Mydei to find a particular volume of great importance to him. What they endure on their journey will change them forever.

    Summary

    Kim Dokja just wanted to troll a Twitch streamer.
    Instead, he accidentally cyberbullied a silent FPS god with 15 million followers, the personality of a feral cat, and the exact face of his favorite webnovel protagonist.

    Now the streamer might be stalking him.
    Or trying to date him.

    Hard to tell when he doesn’t talk.

    --

    Yoo Joonghyuk leaned towards his mic, saying “You talk too much.” Kim Dokja almost dropped his phone. How the hell did this guy get blessed with godly good looks, otherworldly gaming skills and a hot voice as well? Now this just wasn’t fair.

    onlyreader: u speak now??

    onlyreader: wow ur like a reverse pokemon

    onlyreader: do i unlock new voice lines if i piss u off enough?

     

    There was no response, of course. Not verbally. But Joonghyuk’s camera—normally perfectly still, unshaken by anything short of server crashes—jerked just slightly.

    A jolt. Like maybe, just maybe, he was sighing.

    Kim Dokja’s grin widened. “Ohhh,” he whispered. “He’s annoyed.”

    He leaned forward like a villain in a trench coat.

    Summary

    “Just trust me,” Kaveh says into Alhaitham’s ear, not really asking – it is rather a plea. His voice drowns in desperation as he tugs Alhaitham closer by the arm and looks back at Dilawar with a kind, rather casual expression. “This is Alhaitham, my new roommate. And my boyfriend.”

    And so Alhaitham obeys and trusts him.

    Kaveh tries to get rid of his ex by pretending to be in a relationship with Alhaitham. It's not as easy as they first thought, though.
