Summary
Kaveh is the head architect at a major firm, but when his wrists start cracking nonstop as he’s sketching out his designs in the office, his boss forces him to see a physical therapist. He reluctantly sets up an appointment with a doctor at a small clinic who, much to Kaveh’s chagrin, ends up being far more than he bargained for in every way possible.
“No designs, no sketching,” Alhaitham muttered exasperatedly. “Is my instruction that difficult to follow?”
Kaveh shot him a petulant glare. “Sorry, doctor - let me just call up the kids I'm building the orphanage for and tell them to get fucked because I'm too concerned about my limp ass wrists.”
Instead of getting annoyed at Kaveh's snappy tone, Alhaitham responded in equal measure, matching his snark with aggravating ease. “Sounds reasonable to me.”

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
“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.

Summary
"You're quite a ways from home, Sir Knight."
"Well, the wind does blow all over the world", Varka replies with something strange in his tone, as though this is an inside joke that only he is privy to. "Could I trouble you for your name? It only makes sense to know who I'm indebted to."
Though Varka is still smiling, his words are a little too reminiscent of stuffy nobles and insidious fae, counting favors on their fingers, to be demanded at the worst of times. Flins is quick to rebuke the notion.
"There is no debt between us, Sir Knight. It is my duty as a Lightkeeper to keep safe the travelers of these lands, no matter where they hail from."
"Even so, kindness should always be repaid in kind", Varka insists.

Or: Flins and Varka's journey, from their first meeting on a battleridden shore, to a family home in Dornman Port.

Summary
Though Alhaitham’s instinctive reaction was to push this inexplicably older version of Kaveh away and demand an explanation, something about the desperation in his grip held him hostage. He could feel the rapid rise and fall of Kaveh’s chest against his own, the quivers in his body from the leftover adrenaline of travelling through what had to be some sort of time portal.
He was still trying to make sense of the situation, pulse roaring in his ears, when Kaveh’s fingers began to shift, sliding down the length of his arm until he reached Alhaitham’s left hand.
Kaveh traced along the veins there, pausing - as if searching for something that wasn’t where it should be. Then his posture fell, softening with melancholy. “Oh,” he murmured, almost to himself. “I’m not back yet.”
Alhaitham stiffened. “What?”
“You’re not my Alhaitham,” Kaveh said with a quiet, somber sigh that wavered faintly at the end.
