    Summary

    “Perhaps this would be easier for you if my touch was less presumptuous as guiding.” Neuvillette offers as Wriothesley rubs at his wrist.
    “What would you have me presume?” Wriothesley asks, half paying attention.
    “That I am your lover.” Neuvillette says with little explanation.
    Wriothesley blinks, “I’m sorry?”

    Wriothesley is picky with his guiding due to his history, infamous for having gained his esper abilities from killing his parents, ordinary guides are hesitant to get near him, but a dungeon breaks in the center of the Court of Fontaine and no one but Wriothesley has the skill level to enter it and survive.
    The Palais won’t let him enter without an official guide on record so they assign him one.

    Summary

    Neuvillette stared at his reflection and thought: If he touched me, would I dissolve?

    He had never been kissed.

    Not truly. Not by someone who meant it.

    Not by someone who had wanted him.

    He could recite the law in four ancient dialects. He could interpret the subtle gestures of the Oratrice. He could pass judgment on murder, on betrayal, on cruelty wrapped in finery. But he did not know what to do if someone touched his jaw and asked, Can I?

    Could he say yes? Was he allowed?

    Was wanting something the same as deserving it?

    Or, wanting is no longer a sin, and Neuvillette learns to speak it.

    Summary

    Kaveh is so, so beautiful. It’s a thought that rolls around his head like a marble, constantly circling the drain of his spine. He feels it as deeply as a wound. Alhaitham wants to sweep that soft hair out of his eyes, kiss a trail from his hip to his ankle, trace over the bridge of his nose. He wants to stay when they’re done, he wants to wake up and pull Kaveh to his chest, he wants, wants, wants.

     

    It’s some sick kind of torture, being so greedy for something within reach, unable to keep it. To watch Kaveh’s eyelids flutter with a soft touch, just before steeling again. To watch him want something Alhaitham is desperate to give, and be refused every time.

     

    Kaveh's life is on a downward spiral. In an attempt to drag himself out of this pit of romantic stress and creative flatline, Kaveh takes a commission to restore a dilapidated settlement in the desert. Just a little time to think, that's all.

    Summary

    Alhaitham happened to be the first real guest of Kaveh's newly finished, long-awaited, personally designed house. The place glittered from floor to ceiling, with all the extravagance and elegance a wealthy architect could buy in the heart of the city.

    But even then, some things never change. It couldn't escape Alhaitham's notice that the bathroom was chock full of his favourite products, or that the familiar aroma of sandalwood oudh permeated each room.

    So when Kaveh, after a candlelit dinner, offered (asked) him to stay the night, despite the state of the unfurnished guest bedroom - which Alhaitham knew was missing even a modest mattress - it was as if a decade-long puzzle he was too scared to solve finally clicked into place.

    Summary

    “Give me your Akasha Terminal, you’re being hypnotized right now.”

    After a long and awkward pause, Kaveh dropped his fork because one, it was nine in the morning on a weekend and that certainly wasn’t the first thing he expected to hear from a clearly sleep-deprived Alhaitham. And two, that sounded downright fucking insane.

    “Are you right in the head?” He asked the man, only receiving a tired and angry glare in response, “A hello or something would have been nice before saying all of… that. I think your lack of sleep is getting to you, Alhaitham.”

    “I can’t sleep at night because you’re so loud when you’re masturbating that your moans leak into the next room,” The man gritted out, bringing a hand to pinch at his nose bridge, “Our bedrooms share a wall.”

    OR

    Developing insomnia from the stress of the Palace of Alcazarzaray's aftermath and moving in with Alhaitham, Kaveh discovers the miracle that was some phony sleep hypnosis video he downloaded to his Akasha Terminal. When it starts affecting his life more than he ever planned, and in ways he wasn't conscious to realize, it's up to Alhaitham to step in and eventually bridge the gap between them.
