    Summary

    There is no peace, not with Alhaitham sitting at the table in the kitchen as he usually does. Like their routine will continue as normal.

    Normal is Kaveh tugging at Alhaitham’s bed hair as he passes by. It’s filling a mug with already-brewed coffee, dropping into the vacant chair, peering over at whatever document or paper Alhaitham is reading and helping himself to its contents. It’s rubbing sleep-sand from his eyes. It’s Alhaitham swiping a stray drop of milk from his cheek as Kaveh’s face burns. It’s the late-morning light holding the day in languid suspension for them to keep together.

    Like normal is attainable. Like normal is everything they could ever ask for.

    Mehrak records everything. Including the things Kaveh and Alhaitham don’t see.

    Summary

    When Alhaitham coughs up the first petal the week after his disastrous fallout with Kaveh, he knows right away his life will be cut short.

    However, he isn't exactly the type to go down without a fight. There's still several things he wants to do with his last few years- whether that be taking down the government, or getting through his extensive reading list.

    The question is, can Alhaitham figure out his place in this world before the flowers send him to an early grave?

    Summary

    Kaveh comes home to find a scribe that is decidedly unwell and proceeds to freak out about it.

    What does he learn from the experience? That Alhaitham is one heavy motherfucker, and that he should reserve his help for people who aren't smug, irritatingly attractive bastards.

    Summary

    Kaveh spots a very nice blanket at the Grand Bazaar and does everything in his power to save up for it. It doesn’t quite go according to plan.
