    Summary

    Kaveh let out a long, satisfied sigh. "Also… you are now in the presence of the newest Kshahrewar professor!"

    The couple's expressions slowly shifted from unbridled joy to something more complex. Cyno's face settled into a look of embarrassment, while Tighnari's was etched with clear worry. Kaveh found their change in demeanor deeply unsettling.

    A silent exchange passed between his friends, entire paragraphs conveyed in a glance, before Tighnari finally broke the silence: "Kaveh, please, don't misunderstand. You asked us to act as if he didn't exist, so we never brought it up, but... you do know that Alhaitham never left the Akademiya, right?"

    "...What?"

    "More than that," Cyno continued, his tone uncharacteristically concerned, "you do know he's the current Rector, don't you?"

    Six years after the divorce, Kaveh returns to Sumeru City, only to find his routine repeatedly disrupted by his ex-husband. With every encounter, it becomes harder to ignore the ten years of history they share — until the past stops feeling like something they can simply leave behind and begins to look more like something they might dare to try again.

    Summary

    “Long day?” Alhaitham asks, her head coming down to rest on Kaveh’s shoulder. Kaveh hums in answer, the tension leaking out of her body as Alhaitham holds her. Alhaitham presses her lips into Kaveh’s neck, arms curling around her waist to hug her even tighter. “Want to go to bed?”

    Alhaitham helps her girlfriend wind down after a long day.

    Summary

    Hair in a bun, skates laid out on the floor, and an idle tune hummed under his breath — he’s nearly set.

    His phone starts ringing while he’s rushing towards a bench to put down his belongings, and he scrambles to reach for it in the depths of his bag. He finds it, finger poised to answer as he looks up.

    And that’s when he sees him.

    Even through the hockey helmet, Kaveh can see the familiar traces of gray hair. If the height and broad build weren’t a dead giveaway, that certainly squandered any doubt. Alhaitham. The Sumeru Jackals hockey team’s main defenseman. Of course… who else could it be?

    Kaveh stares at him for a beat too long before snapping himself out of it. There’s no way. There is no way he’s here.

    Or; Renowned figure skater Kaveh returns to the competitive scene after a season of absence. Enter Alhaitham.

    Summary

    With the looming threat of the end of the world upon them, Alhaitham finds himself sharing a moment of peace with Kaveh under the stars. While Alhaitham knows he’s done all he can to save everyone, there is no guarantee that the plan will work. After all, if it fails, he may never get the chance to live the life he has always wanted to have with Kaveh.

    Or alternatively, a fic that acts as an extended version of the rooftop scene in the 6.6 Archon Quest.

    Summary

    “Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”

    A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”

    Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.

    What did he want?

    “Have you?” asked Kaveh.

    “Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.

    Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”

    Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.
