Summary
Kaveh skids to a halt right in the middle of the room.
He thought he might find Al-Haitham here—it’s his favorite room after his bedroom—but he didn’t expect to find him sprawled out on the middle divan, legs stretched out leisurely and his head lolled to one side. His eyes are closed, his facial muscles so relaxed his mouth’s fallen open a sliver. Kaveh can see the pink of his tongue.
In his arms he’s cradling Mehrak.
Kaveh, Al-Haitham and Mehrak may not be the most typical family—but they are a family nonetheless. And, surprisingly enough, it turns out that having a semi-sentient toolbox as a pseudo-daughter can do wonders for a broken relationship.

Summary
“In case you've forgotten, this falls under my area of expertise.” Alhaitham starts walking into the kitchen, empty bowl in hand. “I’d worry more about whether you can meet the standard you’ve set.”
The nerve!
“You haven’t won anything yet,” Kaveh calls out.
Alhaitham turns the faucet on. “I didn’t say I did. But if that motivates you to produce a result, you’re free to interpret it that way.”
Kaveh glares at his back, crossing his arms tightly. “Oh, I’ll produce a result. Just you wait.”
It’s on, Alhaitham.
Kaveh and Alhaitham on the constraints of language.

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.

Five Times Kaveh Claimed Alhaitham Had No Heart (and the One Time He Heard It Beating) by the_untamed_poet25

Summary
Five times Kaveh insisted Alhaitham had no heart (citing such evidence as socks, red pen crimes, debate misconduct, wine-induced philosophizing, and illegal bookshelf relocation), and the one time he was forced to admit—horrifyingly—that the man had been feeling things the entire time.

Summary
“Well? Are you heading out there to study ancient runes again? Candace mentioned there’s been an influx of primal constructs near Aaru Village recently, so try to come back in one piece, will you?”
“Jumping to conclusions as always.” Alhaitham rolls his eyes. “You’re not entirely wrong, actually. Are you ready to go? I went ahead and made the necessary preparations.”
Kaveh’s brain short circuits. “What?” He asks.
“I just so happened to have a couple of vacation days saved up. Fontaine has an extensive literature catalog, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to take a trip.”
What. “I don’t— What are you talking about?”
—————
Or, Kaveh and Alhaitham go to Fontaine.
