    Summary

    “You need a pet,” Feixiao says. “Something to keep you company.”

    “A Diting,” Moze says, because of course he’s there. Probably perched like a bird atop the railing, or hanging like an overgrown bat from the rafters. “It would alert us if he needs help. He could fall down the stairs.”

    “You make it sound like I'm incapacitated. I'm only blind,” Jiaoqiu says dryly.

    or: they’re all so broken, but they taste just right together.

    Summary

    Kaveh angrily shoves the last of his bagel down his throat, then cracks his knuckles and positions his keyboard out in front of him.

    you, he types furiously into the small comment box, are exactly the reason why so many fanfic authors quit writing. lucky for you i don’t give a SHIT about your blockheaded, extremely unqualified opinion. thanks for adding to my already massive view count!!! be sure to subscribe to get notified when i post another work!

    Then he presses post and slams his laptop closed.

    Kaveh deals with his #1 internet hater, FlyingVulture: some rando who reads his Deshret x Nabu fanfiction and leaves comments about how bad his characterization is.

    Meanwhile, he also deals with his #1 real life hater, Al-Haitham: his roommate.

    Summary

    People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.

    There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.

    Sometimes all it takes is ten years.
