make your bed (and lie in it) by ashaleya-birb (ashush)

Summary
And what would Alhaitham think if he woke up to a thumb stroking his cheek so intimately? Kaveh would be kicked out by daylight. No, perhaps earlier than the break of dawn; he would have to roam the streets at night, nothing to keep except pure hot shame and cherished memories shattered a second time.
Alhaitham’s disappointment would be replayed over and over, a sin unable to be absolved.
Just as the conflict begins to subside, as Kaveh surrenders to shame and fear, a hand quickly takes hold of his wrist.
Kaveh startles, unable to do much else but endure the slow rise of Alhaitham’s eyelids as he rouses from sleep. He inhales sharply, holding his breath in anticipation.
“...Kaveh,” Alhaitham rasps, “what are you trying to do to me?”
They have, of course, shared a bed at varying points in their lives. Thus, Kaveh has no logical reason to be freaking out over something so trivial. He has, however, plenty of emotionally-driven excuses to spare.
or: Kaveh hasn’t slept in the same bed with Alhaitham for years. Much has changed since then.

Summary
He’s a Haravatat, Kaveh thinks with no small amount of disdain. And…a grandmother’s boy, two years his junior, with a green thumb; a master of his craft, who’s never walked anyone else through his tiny, enchanting gardens. Maybe, just maybe, it balances out.
Kaveh isn't going into battle or anything, so it's not like he needs the absolute strongest potions he can get his hands on. It's just, like, you know, the shopkeeper is kinda hot and funny, when he's not busy running the most pretentiously named alchemical brewery in existence. Kaveh has room in his budget for a visit every now and again. With coffee.

Summary
As Kaveh sorts the jugs into two groupings—one for the punch bowl and one for the drain—a bell chimes, clattering against the front door.
“We’re about to close,” Tighnari snaps at the entering customer.
Kaveh springs to his feet and positions himself behind the register.
“How can I help—”
You.
The customer is halfway to the counter when their eyes lock, and time stops. The man’s shoulders stiffen. Heterochromatic eyes—teal and orange, fire and water, familiar as the breath in Kaveh’s mouth, as the freckle above his left knee—widen with shock and a little disbelief. His mouth drops open, slack, and Kaveh thinks, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him speechless before.
Oh, gods.
Kaveh thought he’d never see Alhaitham again.
After a year without contact, Alhaitham wanders into Kaveh's coffee shop.
Kaveh wants nothing to do with him — he already has enough problems. But Alhaitham's determined to give him just one more, and perhaps solve a few in the process.

Summary
When Alhaitham writes a book with a protagonist based on himself, he doesn't expect to see his own character stripped bare by a fanfiction writer who "identifies really strongly" with his love interest.
Alhaitham found himself smiling as he cooked dinner that night, thinking back on his conversation with “alkavarzaray,” the random online stranger who understood him to a terrifying degree. Creating any sort of art and allowing it to be perceived is extremely intimate in itself, but the idea that this man had properly understood and absorbed most of what Alhaitham had put out there, baring his soul— It was something between incredible and horrifying.

An Incubus and a Siren Walk Into a Bar by kittykatara for saithz

Summary
Alhaitham is an incubus - a terrible one. At nearly 110 years old, he's still a virgin, mostly because the mere thought of touching anyone makes him feel ill.
Enter: Kaveh. He's a siren - a terrible one. The thought of using his biology to override consent horrifies him, and as such, he's never used his powers once in his life.
Then, on one fateful day... they end up in the same bar.
