    Summary

    In the backyard of their atelier, there is an empty space not far from but not too close to the atelier itself, a spot just beside and yet left untouched by Qifrey's garden.

    Or, there is a spot beloved to Qifrey right next to the atelier. Now, if only the competition would stop encroaching on it, wouldn't that be delightful?

    Summary

    “So,” Sunday starts, unsure. “Where will I room?"

    And a stillness seems to ripple across the members of the Astral Express, their expressions morphing into sheepiness, exasperation, and something like pity.

    Himeko steps forward first, clearing her throat. “Sunday,” she says. “I’m very sorry, but — ”

    “The other passenger cabin is currently out of order!” Pom-Pom pipes up from the side.

    (Sunday doesn't manage to get a room on the train, but he does get a roommate.)

    Summary

    Kaveh used to think that Alhaitham had mastered the art of ignoring him. The man would remain unflappable as he continued to read his worn copy of The Origins of Enkanomiyan Language, even when Kaveh was a hair’s breadth away from shattering the windows of their house with his severity of pitch.

    No amount of screaming, threats to throw things, or violently waving in front of him could get Alhaitham to pause in his thirst for knowledge. As it turns out, Alhaitham literally just turns his hearing aids off so he doesn’t have to listen to Kaveh.

    It’s for this exact reason that Kaveh has decided to learn Sumerian Sign Language.

    or,

    Kaveh learns sign language just to continue bickering with Alhaitham.

    Summary

    When Kaveh discovers that Alhaitham has been reading a book about human sexuality and kinks, he generously offers to assist Alhaitham with some sexual exploration. It’s a risky proposal, and one that could end very badly—thanks to their falling-out years ago, the two of them have trust issues galore.

    But it turns out that Kaveh and Alhaitham are surprisingly good at trust and communication when it comes to sex…which raises some questions about the nature of their relationship, and where exactly this whole experiment is leading them.

    “Look,” Kaveh says, “if you’re going to approach sexual pleasure like an experiment, most potential partners won’t take too kindly to the idea of you having sex with them for science. Therefore, to spare all the poor people you’d inevitably insult in your quest for data, I am willing to be that person.”

    “How charitable of you,” Alhaitham says.

    “And I assume that you’re somewhat comfortable with the idea of having sex with me,” Kaveh adds, “or else you wouldn’t have been so willing to have my fingers in your mouth just now.”

    Summary

    It’d only take a little bit.

    It should only be a little bit in the first place. Too much would ruin the flavor, and then Brad would figure out what’s been going on, and then everything would come crumbling down around Nero’s ears. It wasn’t exactly like he could taste-test the food he was poisoning, either, so Nero just carefully measured out his new secret ingredient and mixed it in, praying to whoever might be listening that this would help keep Brad alive one day longer.
