    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

    Flins had been awake when Varka left that morning.

    He'd seen how Varka had left, in horror and invoking Barbatos for his mistake.

    When he found out that Varka had left Nod-Krai completely without a word or even a letter left behind, Flins was certain of his standing in Varka's life and understood his meaning loud and clear.

    Nearly ten years later, by fate and poor choices, they met again.

    Summary

    “I invited you here,” Mydei interrupts, “alone, to my private baths, on the night I come of age. I told you my greatest secret. I asked you to touch me.” Each statement is punctuated with increasing disbelief. “What exactly did you think I wanted, Deliverer?“

    Ten years ago, Phainon fought Crown Prince Mydei for ten days and nights, then yielded and swore his service. He’s been in love ever since.

    Mydei has been waiting for him to figure it out. On his eighteenth birthday, Mydei decides he’s waited long enough.

    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.
