Summary
Kaveh,If you’re reading this, then I am probably dead, although there is a small chance I am in prison instead. To your right, you will find several important documents. I have given you power of attorney and funds for a legal defense, if necessary. My last will and testament is also attached. Essentially, I have left everything to you.
I love you. Please mourn me for an appropriate period of time, then find a way to be happy.

Summary
Cyno sighs. "It could be some time until Gandharva Ville is once again suitable for human habitation," he says. "Even once the Ley Lines are repaired, it will take time for the energies at the site to disperse."
"I have a Vision," Collei says. "I can help."
Cyno shakes his head. "High concentrations of unguided energies are known to be particularly harmful to post-Eleazar individuals. The protection that your Vision offers would be more than canceled out."
Collei folds her hands in her lap. "It's my home."
"I know," Cyno says.
After Gandharva Ville is attacked, Collei must spend a few weeks living in Alhaitham's house in Sumeru City. It's not what she's used to, but sometimes that's what someone needs to grow.

Summary
"But he..." said the man, voice suddenly small.
"Has your mother. You know how she dotes, dear," soothed the woman, voice fond and patient, a little overbearing and a little sad.
The shuffle of Kaveh's footsteps must've alerted them to his presence finally, as the two scholars simultaneously turned where they stood and looked directly at Kaveh as he slowly approached. Their eyes were wide.
In front of him stood two young scholars, wearing the characteristic robes of Akademiya alumni, the design dated but the condition pristine, both with the traditional golden laurels in their hair. The woman's soft grey hair was pulled into a simple, but tight bun, with just her bangs hanging loose, allowing for a soft sheen of teal to reflect in the loose strands. And the man... Alhaitham? No, that couldn't be. But then... impossible as it was, this man was-
"Faranak!?"
Huh...?
"Huh?"

Kaveh falls down a hole and makes some new acquaintances. Even he doesn't know what to make of it.

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.)

A Reflection on Connection in Food by waltzydaltzy
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
29 Jun 2024

Summary
Abstract: While recent studies have demonstrated the emotional feedback of food, this study examines the correlation between memories and emotions as related to food. While the experience examined is subjective and varied to change between individuals, the study has concluded a.) food triggers emotional responses outside of the biological experience and b.) the meaning behind those emotional responses can be directly tied to the people involved.

Summary
Although Kaveh’s name sits in the Reaping Bowl 242 times, it’s 11-year-old Collei that gets reaped for the 99th Hunger Games under the Tsaritsa’s reign. When Kaveh volunteers to take her place, he sets a tragedy in motion neither of them could have anticipated.
Because Alhaitham is set on bringing him home - even if it means walking into an arena of death. As he joins Kaveh as the second tribute of District 12 the promise of keeping Kaveh alive is a declaration of love and war in one, a spark of revolution set alight after years of oppression under the Archon of Love.
Tighnari managed to save Collei but the costs feel unbearable. Now he has to mentor both of his best friends and guide them through the Hunger Games, where only one person can ever win. And as a former victor himself, he knows the winner is never among the tributes.

I Reincarnated as a Fungus When I Only Wanted to Be an Architect by Bgtea
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
If there’s one word Kaveh could use to describe his life, it would be “ordinary”. Sure, the start of his life looks more like a sad drama movie with the death of his father, being abandoned by his mother, then being treated like luggage as he was passed from one relative to another. But he grew up, got a job working as a corporate slave, and became self-sufficient enough to pay his rent while not starving. Currently, his job is tedious, and the only joy in his life comes from spending his evenings at home alone, designing and building little houses in the game "My Little Aranara Friend", but things could be worse!
It becomes worse in the blink of an eye. He dies. And not only is he forcefully transported into the world of "My Little Aranara Friend", but he's also stuck in the body of a mob monster called a Fungus where his only hope of getting a human body is by levelling up.
...And also by saving the Aranara from mass extinction caused by some malevolent mysterious dark power called "The Withering" that, if left unchecked, will also destroy the world.
Fuck his life.

Summary
Kaveh has achieved so much today, it should be fine to do this much for himself. It should be fine to enjoy this much. There is absolutely nothing that Al-Haitham could possibly do to ruin this day!
Of course, this is when Al-Haitham chooses to walk in covered in blood.
Kaveh has enough troubles on his plate even without dealing with his confusing relationship with and unfortunately lingering feelings for his stubborn, infuriating roommate. But when a strange conspiracy begins closing in on Al-Haitham and threatening the precarious balance of their daily lives, Kaveh finds himself having to reevaluate the nature of their relationship and reckon with the ghosts of the past.
-----
There’s never really a good time, way, or reason to tell Kaveh about his long-lived, amoral, exiled, criminal ex-partner — who, Al-Haitham will note, was not any of those things at the time they were involved.
However, there is definitely a worst way for Kaveh to find out.

Summary
The toddler began to cry, and then he started to cough from trying to cry too hard, snot dripping down his face. Another adult came hurrying over to help him to his feet before they went inside to head, presumably, to the nurse’s office.
Loud, chaotic, dirty. Everything that went against Al-Haitham’s standards.
“Working here as what?” Kaveh blinked. “Like admin or something? That’s probably quiet and far enough from kids for you. Though—”
“No,” interrupted Al-Haitham. “I don’t.”
After getting fired from a prestigious architecture firm, Kaveh moves back to his hometown to raise his five-year-old brother only to find that an old college "acquaintance" is his little brother's kindergarten teacher.

Summary
Kaveh’s face is bright, young, flushed, freckled, happy. He’s wearing an Akademiya uniform and is as tall as the last time Alhaitham saw him (fifteen minutes ago) which means he’s an inch or two shorter than the last time Alhaitham saw him, because the uniform boots are heeled. He’s staring at Alhaitham with the aforementioned flush spreading like dye over the silk of his cheeks.
“Kaveh,” Alhaitham says. “Don’t freak out. I believe I’ve been displaced in time.”

Summary
“I was offered a position at the Akademiya.”
You already know—you approved the offer letter. “Lecturer?”
“No, professor. Somehow they’re starting me at associate. I don’t have the experience, but…”
He doesn’t have to say it out loud. His portfolio speaks for itself. They aren’t going to make the Light of Kshahrewar jump through hoops for his own office the way they do for fresh-faced all-but-dissertation 20-somethings.
“That’s excellent. Congratulations. You’re going to be exactly what Kshahrewar needs right now.”
Kaveh doesn’t accept the praise. “There’s a woman in Spantamad who’s starting her sabbatical soon,” he says instead of thank you.
This, too, you already knew. You stamped Zinat’s leave form; she told you she was going to Inazuma to study some kind of dangerous contamination on one of the islands. But what does Kaveh have to do with her?
“I’ve arranged to rent from her.”
Now this—this takes you by surprise. “Oh” is all you manage to say.
If you love him, let him go. If he comes back to you, he’ll be yours forever.

If love was a place— by Intensely_Reading for Ae_rynn

Summary
Al-Haitham’s hand comes up to hold onto Kaveh’s. Within minutes, his breathing evens out and deepens in his sleep—only broken intermittently by his wheezes in between. Kaveh continues combing through Al-Haitham’s hair, up and down and up again. He slides his fingers through his bangs, rubs away the slight wrinkle near his brow, trails his fingers down the bridge of Al-Haitham’s nose, and traces over the curve of his cheek.
Al-Haitham shifts, mumbling in his sleep—hand tightening over Kaveh’s wrist.
Something painfully warm clicks in the softest parts of Kaveh’s heart.
(Love, in the form of unconditional touch.)

Summary
“It’s my fault,” says the child, without prelude. “It’s my fault, and I don’t know what to do about it.”
Alhaitham’s brows furrow. “What is your fault?”
“Why I feel like this. Why this … happened.” The child’s voice grows smaller and its chin rests back on the tops of knees. “It was because of me. He did it for me, and now? Now, we’re…”
In which Alhaitham, in his dreams, visits the most crucial of Kaveh's memories. Or, they learn what it means to love another person unconditionally.

Summary
As Kaveh inspects the space that is about to become his new home, he thinks to himself that the room with those marbled counters and a familiar set of wood utensils hanging on the wall. In fact, when he squints closer, he recognizes the model of the stand mixer that’s sitting in the corner. It almost looks like—
“My name is Al-Haitham,” the man—Al-Haitham, apparently—says, and Kaveh looks at him, looks at the chest that he vaguely recognized, turns to look at the counters that he now pinpoints from motherfucking YouTube, and fully lets his jaw drop again with no regard for propriety.
Fuck first impressions. It seems that they’ve already had theirs.
“No the fuck you aren’t,” Kaveh says.
Kaveh moves into the house of his archnemesis. And then he bakes for him, as one does for their mortal enemy that they definitely don't have a crush on.
