    Summary

    Sometimes Kaveh has good days, days where it’s easy to accept Alhaitham’s care and concern, in the small ways he’s learned how to show it over the years—a hand on his waist, fingers carding through his hair as he slowly rouses from sleep, the press of lips on his temple.

    On good days, Kaveh doesn’t just accept these offerings, but revels in them, in the feeling of being loved and cherished. Even if he feels he doesn’t deserve it, Alhaitham thinks he does, and on good days, that’s enough.

    Today is not one of those days.

    Summary

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Kaveh says back. He raises an arm to push him out of the way, so that he can gather up his supplies from the desk, but Alhaitham’s reflexes are too quick.

    He catches Kaveh’s hand with his own, snatching it out of the air like a crystalfly. Eagle eyes zero in on the way it elicits a flinch out of him.

    A beat passes, and Kaveh foolishly hopes that Alhaitham will ignore it, but of course, fate would never allow him to be so lucky.

    Summary

    “Haitham, please, can’t you just let it go?”

    A harsh thrust reminds him viscerally of how much control his boyfriend currently has over his sanity. Even that one, short jerk punches Kaveh’s prostate, perfectly aimed to make him compliant.

    “I told you already. If you can yell at me for every minor inconvenience loud enough for all of our neighbors to hear, then you can moan like a whore while I fuck you. I want them all to know what you sound like when you cum on my cock.”

    (If their neighbors were unaware they were fucking until now, that is certainly no longer the case.)

    Summary

    "Liyue is a land," Alhaitham reads, "where all kinds of... of rare and exotic treasures con—congregate." He stops. Gasps. Bows his head, revealing the strong line of his neck.

    "Keep reading," Kaveh murmurs.

    "Where all kinds of—of—precious treasures—ah!"

    "Wrong," Kaveh says. "That's not how the text goes, Haitham."

    Alhaitham can hear the smile in his voice.

    Books and Kaveh's hands—two of Alhaitham's favourite things.

    Summary

    The first night after the Akasha system was decommissioned, Alhaitham slept as dreamlessly as he had every night since the day he had received his first terminal.

    The second night was less restful, though Alhaitham could not explain why.

    Three nights in, Alhaitham has his first nightmare.

    Sometimes, the smallest things offer the greatest comfort.
