    Summary

    With a heavy sigh, Kaveh buried his face in his pillow. All of his romantic ideals, as usual, were quashed by the one man he actually yearned for such affections from - a marriage for the sake of fucking tax deductions.

    Though it made sense in a cold, rational way, such a logical and disinterested proposal for Kaveh to willingly sacrifice his heart for nothing more than mora cut deep into his chest. And worst of all... Alhaitham was unaware that Kaveh’s heart could never even belong to anyone but him - that he was already the sole benefactor of Kaveh’s silent longing, having stolen Kaveh’s heart against his will long ago.

    Kaveh curled around his pillow as if the soft cotton of his pillowcase could offer a reprieve from the turmoil churning deep in his stomach. He’d long since made peace with his unrequited love for Alhaitham, resigning himself to a lifetime of suppressed yearning - but this? This was torture, plain and simple, demanding mental gymnastics that Kaveh wasn’t confident he was flexible enough to contort himself into.

    Summary

    Neuvillette knows little of what it means to be a dragon; he has spent his entire life among the people of Fontaine. Everything he does know about dragons, he has uncovered himself through trial and error and the occasional bit of obscure research. But this, at least, he recognizes.

    Mating instincts.

    By protecting him, the duke is behaving like a dragon seeking a mate, and that has triggered Neuvillette’s own instincts to judge the duke’s adequacy.

    When Wriothesley begins acting like a dragon courting his mate, Neuvillette finds himself torn between duty and desire.

    Summary

    “Hey,” he said, sparing a little wave with his left hand. He tried not to think of the fabric covering his soulmark. 

    Teal eyes scanned over Kaveh and settled on his wrist. Kaveh dropped his arm immediately, awkwardly turning away.

    “It’s nice to see someone else who doesn’t care about soulmates. The gods are stupid,” the boy said. While Kaveh didn’t dare vocalize his hatred for the gods, it was indeed there. They had taken his father too soon and ruined his mother beyond repair.

    The boy raised his own left wrist, similarly covered by fabric. He then held the same hand out for Kaveh to shake it.

    “Nice to meet you,” Kaveh found himself saying, staring in astonishment. “There isn’t many people like us.”

    “Dare I say we’re just smarter than the rest?”

    With that, Kaveh knew he’d found an ally and maybe, just maybe, a friend.

    Or: Kaveh and Alhaitham both hate the idea of soulmates. They always have, always will. And yet the more time they spend together, they wish that the other is theirs.

    Summary

    The thing on the floor makes a sound at him. The sound goes something like, Meow.

    Kaveh had already been recognized as a genius by the time he was learning nursery rhymes, so he is of course very well-acquainted with the sounds and transliterations thereof made by various common animals. In fact, his recall speed for these associations is likely significantly above average. This is why he recognizes so rapidly and adeptly that there is a fucking cat on his floor even though he does not and has never owned a cat.

    “Meow,” says the cat again.

    “Yes, I know,” Kaveh says irritably, and then immediately feels bad about it. “I mean.” He clears his throat. “Meow, as well.”

    Al-Haitham seizes an opportunity to conduct an unusual experiment regarding Kaveh's usual patterns of behavior. To maximize the integrity of his results, he does not inform the subject of his observations about the study parameters.

    Or, Al-Haitham cashes in some vacation days while in cat form, and Kaveh adopts an eccentric stray in his roommate's absence.
