    Summary

    Set during Chapter 9. in Homecoming Wings (the "captive bird" arc), where Caleb keeps MC in Skyhaven. This is a divergence from canon: a little exploration of what their last night together might've become if the cage cracked open before the Deepspace Tunnel took him back.

    Three days, he gives her and this is the last of them. One final night locked in his room above the clouds before the Deepspace Tunnel takes him back.
    The night leaves more behind than either of them meant it to tension, questions, the unbearable weight of all the things they couldn't say. And somewhere in the distance growing between them, she finds she's closer to him than she's ever been. Close in a way that won't ever quite leave her.

    Summary

    Kaveh knows all too well that Alhaitham is woven into his history, his everyday routine, residing in his space, all five of his senses, but not until now had he allowed Alhaitham to witness him coming undone.

    ——

    Or; Kaveh and Alhaitham enter an arrangement to help relieve one another sexually when it so calls for it.

    Summary

    Alhaitham, without breaking eye contact with the offensive document, hums.

    “They want us to teach a seminar together.”

    There’s a long pause.

    Kaveh peeks out from under his arm.

    “Together?”

    “Yes.”

    A beat.

    “Us?”

    “Yes.”

    Another.

    “In the same room?”

    Alhaitham lowers the paper. “Apparently the Akademiya has developed a theory—tragically untested until now—that our ‘differing pedagogical approaches’ might foster ‘cross-disciplinary innovation and engagement.’”

    Or, how two intellectual disasters taught a seminar, destroyed a syllabus, kissed, and accidentally created a fandom.

    Summary

    “Why are you looking at me like that?” Kaveh mumbles, without opening his eyes. He’s been reading, too—or pretending to, which is more likely, because the upside-down architectural plans on the table have not moved in half an hour, and his pencil is behind his ear instead of in his hand.

    “I’m not,” Alhaitham says, too fast. Which is absurd. Of course he is. The entire point of his visual cortex is to perceive the world around him, and unfortunately, the world currently includes Kaveh. Shirtless. Glowing. Freckled.

    “You’re making that face again,” Kaveh says, one eye cracking open, voice annoyingly smug for someone still half-asleep. “The one where you’re trying to suppress an emotion and failing.”

    “I don’t suppress emotions,” Alhaitham replies. “I manage them. Responsibly.”

    Kaveh snorts. “Oh, is that what the internal aneurysm looks like? Good to know.”

    In which Kaveh weaponizes freckles and Alhaitham forgets the scientific method.
