the fallacies of memory, the truths of devotion by uzumae

Summary
Kaveh fell in love for the first time at the tender age of eight, a love that pierced fiercely straight through him like an aching, chasmal wound. But eventually, the memory of his first love began to scab over, the edges fraying from reach as the wound strove to close and new memories rushed to take its place. Such that when he searches now for the gaping emptiness it would have left behind, all he finds instead is the skin that has grown over it and a subtle scar that whispers of something that once left its mark there. But of what Kaveh no longer remembers.
The forest, however, always remembers.

Summary
The man’s beauty and allure are like nothing Kaveh has ever seen before – palpably inhuman. Behind him, an unmoving, perpetual sunset casts a delicate light around his silhouette, encompassing him like the endless fields of flowers that encircle their bodies. Here, in dreaming, the air tastes sweet, and the fragrance of a bygone era wafts into Kaveh’s nose, devotedly mumbling unknowable promises in a language he does not recognize.
“Kaveh,” the man says to him, and the sound of his name falling from those elegant lips reminds him of the twinkling of little bells on a dancer’s costume, clear and precise.
The man places a hand on Kaveh’s cheek, leaning in closer and closer until he can feel the man’s breath on his own lips.
“Thank you for setting me free,” he says to Kaveh.
On a desert expedition, Kaveh stumbles upon a mysterious bottle where an ancient Jinni dwells.

Summary
Just as Kaveh turns away from the orange tree, Alhaitham’s mother blooms into a heartfelt laugh, a soft and melodic sound like the distant ringing of wind chimes. And he realizes that Alhaitham inherited his mother’s laugh, too.
“You truly love him,” she says in between chuckles. “Deeply and devastatingly so.”
Kaveh can’t help but burst into laughter himself, “Am I really that obvious?”
She nods, “You want to marry my son.”
“I do.”
Before proposing, Kaveh decides to find a way to meet with Alhaitham's family in order to properly ask for Alhaitham's hand in marriage.

Summary
Alhaitham allows his fingers to be maneuvered by the visitor’s careful, precise movements, and the letters gradually begin to form on the pages of his journal, an item he carries with him everywhere. Somehow, the man’s hold on him is painfully familiar, like the edges of a distant memory fraying from reach, each finger fitted so flawlessly between his own. The man’s breath against his ear as he leans in close is warm, and the heat of his body pressed against his side, too, is warm.
Beside this man, Alhaitham feels warm and safe. Like home.
In which certain things are not so easily resolved.

Summary
Alhaitham stares at him for a long moment, simmering in the silence. He opens his mouth to speak before he reconsiders and instead opts for a simple response.
“What a shame for him then,” Alhaitham says, turning his gaze away. “For your unknown admirer, that is.”
Alhaitham attempts to write love poems for Kaveh.

Summary
“You missed a spot.”
Atsumu turns. Kiyoomi has ascended the staircase that leads from their cabin to the wheelhouse. He makes his way over to the panel Atsumu is wiping and hovers his fingertip over a tiny speck of dirt. Atsumu rolls his eyes and goes over it again, applying extra pressure. “See anythin’ else I missed?”

Summary
When they parted, Alhaitham was Crown Prince, a half-grown youth with a brilliant mind but a clumsy mouth. The man before him was King Alhaitham of Haravatat: tall, broad shouldered, long-limbed and, above all, confident—in words and deeds. If the weight of his crown burdened him, he did not show it.
His steel-coloured hair was newly cut, his eyes like the blue-green of an illustrated ocean. He was handsome, but that handsomeness was of rough-hewn stone, not sculpted rock. Kaveh stepped forward and, hand moving of its own accord, touched Alhaitham's face.
Touched his husband's face.
In an apocalyptic Sumeru, King Alhaitham of Haravatat comes to Kshahrewar in order to marry his betrothed, Prince Kaveh.

Summary
Kaveh arrived in the living room just in time to see Alhaitham, his face expressionless but his tail waving, slowly tip a vase over.
"... What are you doing?" Kaveh asked. He was a little upset. The vase was ugly, but Alhaitham had looked so pleased when he bought it.
"I don't know," Alhaitham said. He bent down to peer curiously at the shattered vase. That tail danced away, raising the back of his shirt enough Kaveh could see a bare, well-formed ass, attached to two very long legs.
He was wearing one of Kaveh's loose shirts. And nothing else.
Alhaitham's curse—yes, the one that gives him cat ears and tail—still hasn't lifted. Both Alhaitham and Kaveh are dealing very well with this.

Summary
Kaveh blinks again, and then the world falls back into place.
“What’s wrong?” a voice asks him from the side, and when he swivels his head around there stands Alhaitham, in his black turtleneck and chartreuse jacket and quizzical expression, and when Kaveh looks up again he finds that the sky is gone.
Kaveh experiences his very first dream.
