    Summary

    At the dawning of the Golden Age of Knowledge in the medieval Islamic world, Ajer lives in Baghdad, plagued by an unceasing desire and incapability of becoming an apprentice of one of the great scholars of the Caliph. Working as a janitor in a mosque, Ajer is told that in order to prove himself, he must bring back untranslated scrolls of knowledge from each of the great civilizations of the world. On the budget of a janitor, this seems impossible; but when a Zoroastrian storyteller from Baghdad's streets hints that she may be able to help him, a new route is opened to his dreams.

    Summary

    Despite a lifetime spent avoiding impure thoughts and temptations, Ali figured a plan could come in handy. He would never agree to spar with a weapon that he hadn’t trained with. Or at least he recognized that it was a bad idea when he did agree. And he would never submit a proposal without doing the requisite research. A little studying couldn’t hurt.

    ********

    Or: Ali prepares for his wedding night.

    Summary

    In a world divided by conflict, an alliance between the Kingdom of Shadows and the House of al Ghul is forged through an arranged marriage between Prince Damian and Princess Raven. It’s a political move: cold but calculated. There is no animosity between them, but no intimacy either. They don’t expect friendship, let alone love.

    But duty calls. The marriage must be consummated, and an heir must follow.

    What begins as obligation soon becomes a transactional, passion-laced agreement: friends with benefits in royal garments who, over time—and with a little... manual assistance—begin to unravel.

    Summary

    "I live with Enjolras, and all I can tell you is that I've never seen him show passion towards anyone besides the full-page photo of Karl Marx in his 19th century philosophy textbook."
    Beside them, Combeferre lets out a loud groan and faceplants on the kitchen table, nearly upsetting his coffee mug. A flash of guilt passes over Courfeyrac's face. "I mean that...not in a weird way."
    "Stop talking," Combeferre says. "Please."

    Or, Combeferre is terrified of the future and everyone around him and hopelessly in love with his best friend and Grantaire is homeless and suddenly finds himself living in a commune where everyone is overly invested in organic gardening and something called Kombucha. No one ever said your 20s were easy.
