    Summary

    Kaveh gets lost in the desert, goes into heat, and gets found by the one person who can't know what he is, or: Kaveh's No Good Very Bad Day.

    “You’re not carrying me,” he says with a weak kick.

    Alhaitham stops and lets his own legs take his full weight again; Kaveh’s ankle does something terrible for his self esteem and then he crumples almost to the sand before Alhaitham’s arm catches him again. One arm, because that’s all he needs to take Kaveh’s weight. He’s such a show off for a man whose ass never grew in. “Fuck’s sake,” Kaveh mutters to himself. 

    “You were saying?”

    “Just—go.”

    Alhaitham snorts. “Am I your servant now?”

    “Yes,” Kaveh snarls.

    Summary

    “How unfortunate for you to have someone that cares about your wellbeing.”

    Kaveh laughed. “Is that what it is now? I wasn’t just disturbing your sleep?”

    “Believe what you like.” It was both. Unfortunately for Alhaitham, he did care about Kaveh’s wellbeing, which is why he chose to do things like this. But it seemed no matter how often Alhaitham explicitly stated this, Kaveh would brush it off. It was a dance they had done for years, and Alhaitham didn’t make any more effort to make Kaveh understand he was serious. Kaveh wouldn’t believe him, or he would choose not to. It wouldn’t change anything if Kaveh believed it. Alhaitham would still be going through the motions of getting him to sleep in his bed on nights like this. They would still be having the same arguments. This was just another thing that had become a fact for Alhaitham about his life. Alhaitham cared about Kaveh. He would continue to care about him and for him, and Kaveh would continue to dismiss it. This was a fact that Alhaitham had learned to accept, ignoring the annoying twinge of pain that came with it.

    Summary

    Rtawahist scholars have a curious theory about parallel worlds, where the stars of a person’s constellation are weaved in slightly different ways, creating an infinite number of universes where they make different choices, lead different lives. He had told Al-Haitham about it once, who had declared it outlandish and based on pure conjecture, but Kaveh had found the idea interesting.

    Perhaps, then, there exists a world, where Kaveh's life isn’t so at odds with him. Where Kaveh can reach out in this moment and pull Al-Haitham into his arms.

    Summary

    “We may have a problem.”

    Kaveh tilts his head. He follows the grout-line between the tiles with the sole of his shoe subconsciously, grounding himself in the repetitive motion.

    Nasir continues with a sigh. “It seems that the Acting Grand Sage intends to decline our request for funding.”

    “Ah. That’s… unfortunate.” Kaveh speaks slowly, carefully concealing his initial reaction. This isn’t the first he’s heard of this, but he didn’t consider it to be an actual, real possibility. He’s both shocked and utterly unsurprised at the same time. “But what does that have to do with me, specifically?”

    “You know the Acting Grand Sage, do you not?”

    A simple question with a complicated answer.

    Kaveh is tasked with securing the funding for Kshahrewar from the Acting Grand Sage. Things get complicated.
