    Summary

    “Kaveh,” he confirms. “He is renowned in his line of work for his skill and passion.”

    Lord Kusanali nods as if he had proved one of her silent queries. “I was hoping he would lend me a hand with this project,”

    “I’m sure he would be honored,” he says earnestly.

    She smiles, cheeks dimpling. “Do you really think so?”

    Alhaitham smiles back, small, easy. “I know him quite well."

    -

    Or, the one where Alhaitham is terribly, terribly in love with Kaveh.

    Summary

    Kaveh scoffs. “Oh, please! Us as best friends? Nobody would believe it. You might as well have us pretend to be lovers!”

    He waits for Tighnari and Cyno to roll their eyes or shake their heads or say, Haha, good one, Kaveh, we should get you a stand-up comedy show in addition to all your amazing gigs. He doesn’t expect them to exchange a serious look.

    To convince the public that they don’t hate each other, famous actors Kaveh and Alhaitham pretend to be in a relationship. Too bad they actually hate each other.

    At least, Kaveh thinks they do.

    Summary

    There is a popular game in Snezhnaya, one that originates as an activity to keep children occupied during the long winter days stuck indoors while arctic winds howl outside, knocking against doors and windows and carrying with it a violent storm of ice and frost. The game has since been adopted into a drinking game by bored young adults similarly trapped inside those cold, dark grueling months.

    The game’s rules go something like this. Each person takes a turn telling two truths and one lie about themselves while the rest of the participants have to pluck out the lie. If the guessers guessed wrong, the person telling the information gets the point. If the guesser guessed right, then the person gets no points.

    There is no real end to this game. Children play it until they become bored, adults play it until they become drunk.

    Childe plays it until…

    Come to think of it, Childe’s not entirely sure why he’s playing.

    --

    A Childe introspection story where he tries to find his heart.

    “So what’s the issue then?” Xie Lian asks.

    Feng Xin takes a deep breath in, lets it out, and then breathes in again. “What I’m trying to say is, I think I’m homophobic.”

     

    Or, Mu Qing starts going out on dates, and Feng Xin starts slowly losing his mind.
