    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

    Overwhelmed by the sensation of Alhaitham’s breath against his skin, heart beating erratically, Kaveh grunted softly and tried to step over the fallen bucket - but the movement only pushed them closer, tangling their legs and trapping Alhaitham’s thigh firmly between his own.

    “You’re not going to make it any bigger by squirming,” Alhaitham hissed, hand clamping down on Kaveh’s waist and holding him in place with a grip that had turned to steel.

    Kaveh sucked in a sharp breath at the sudden pressure, his body reacting before his brain could catch up and sending a jolt of heat flaring beneath his skin. “I - gods, would you just -”

    “Shh,” Alhaitham interrupted harshly.

    “No, you shh,” Kaveh shot back in a whisper, bapping Alhaitham petulantly on the arm. “I think I can move my leg, just -”

    Alhaitham exhaled a quick, frustrated huff and twisted his torso just enough to be able to slide one palm up from Kaveh’s side, tracing a distractingly firm line along his body before landing squarely over his mouth. “Shut up,” Alhaitham whispered directly into his ear, lips brushing just close enough to make the words feel like a threat.

    Summary

    “My trial will be held soon,” Aventurine says, ignoring the rapid thrumming in his chest. “To determine my punishment for breaking the cornerstone during my mission. It is decided that all the Stonehearts will take a vote to decide whether or not my own position as a Stoneheart will be taken away.”

    Veritas’ expression doesn’t change as he takes in Aventurine’s words.

    “They will take a vote on your… resignation?”

    Aventurine averts his gaze to look at the floor. He doesn’t dare to stare into his partner’s concerned eyes when he utters the next words.

    “No, Veritas. My execution.”

    Summary

    When one had made a decades long habit of always wearing the same coat (or newer, identical copies when one simply couldn’t be salvaged), it really shouldn’t be a surprise that to be seen without said coat might invite questions.

    As though Alastor walking around the hotel in his shirtsleeves was the most interesting thing that had happened since Adam was defeated.

    Summary

    Alastor looked around at the actual, genuine darkness, pure night around them, not just the shadows he used or the lack of any light that a fully sealed room brought. The kind of darkness that, after a moment, one realised wasn't actually darkness at all, the pale light from the stars and moon above casting everything in faint, washed out colours.

    The moon.

    Oh – he'd not seen it in ninety years, or thereabouts – he'd never noticed how bright it was when he was alive.
