Summary
“Prove it.”
Kaveh paused. Slowly, he turned around. “What?”
“Prove that you won’t fall in love.”
Kaveh tilted his head. “And how do you suggest I do that?”
“Date me,” said Al-Haitham. “Prove to me that you won’t fall in love.”
Kaveh keeps getting broken up with and is on the verge of giving up on love when Al-Haitham propositions him.

Summary
“I mean, do you ever stop and think about who your anonymous friend might be?" Tighnari says. "Or like, maybe it’s someone you already know or some random guy in one of your classes.”
“No,” Kaveh says, thinking. “With my luck, if I did know him already, then he would probably be the worst person I know. Someone like Al-Haitham.” The thought is so absurd that he stops and laughs. “But that would be fucking awful.”
In Kaveh's humble opinion, the title for The Worst Guy In The World is tied between four people: the asshole in his Tuesday eight am, the employee behind the library email account, the guy writing the university's advice column, and the student that the professor he assists always complains about.
It would only be too convenient if they were all the same person. (They are.)

Summary
Are you gloating? Are you trying to get me to leave? Kaveh wanted to ask. Do you even care?
But that was the whole point, wasn’t it? That Al-Haitham did care. That was why he found out what he did about Sachin and Kaveh’s father, and it was Kaveh who had to come to terms with the fact that he’d been wrong.
Do you regret staying with me?
Kaveh swallowed. “Even…even that. I do not regret it.”

if you don’t put whatever gods-damned thing you’re holding down right now (within reason) and read this fic, i. i won’t do anything but i will be VERY disappointed.
it’s after midnight and normally i would have a more coherent response to this but. alas.
it’s just. it’s about returning home. even making a new one, together, with a stronger foundation and walls and beautiful windows and warm paint colors. making coffee for each other in the morning, sharing a cup and a glance while soft sunlight filters in and colors everything in shades of gold and new beginnings.
that’s them. -

Summary
But with his legs sandwiched between Ratio’s thick thighs, resting his head on the soft pillow of his wet chest, he remembers why he makes an exception for baths. Ratio's tub is enormous, there's plenty of room for both of them. They plaster themselves together regardless, just to keep skin on skin. His ass is sticking out of the water, but the excessive bubbles cover it, keeping him warm. One of Ratio’s arms slides around his shoulders, tracing wet patterns onto slick skin. The other hangs over the edge of the bath, dripping water onto the floor
Ratio and Aventurine, aftercare, a bathtub, and domesticity that Aventurine still isn't sure he's happy to be a part of.

Summary
Without fail, Ratio finds him after every project, at every bar and casino. He drags Aventurine back to his hotel or penthouse, plying him with water and food until Aventurine is almost eating three meals a day.
Each night, Aventurine is lulled to sleep by Ratio’s irritated scolding, and every morning, he wakes to a tall glass of water and hangover pills on his nightstand, with breakfast pre-made and waiting in the fridge.
One night, after Ratio leaves, Aventurine coughs. It must be allergies.
Or:
Aventurine has Hanahaki.

do you ever read a fic that sinks into the marrow of your bones in the worst and best way possible? one that makes you want to let out an unholy shriek while also tucking it close to your chest and holding it very tenderly?
that’s this fic.
