    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.

    Summary

    When Sethos left the class, the two were arguing again, this time about which textbook would be best for the class. Their altercations hadn't really stopped at any moment, because every time Professor Thoth asked a question, Kaveh's hand shot up while Alhaitham leisurely raised his, and they each confronted each other's points in increasingly passive-aggressive language.

    They hated each other's guts, and it was frankly hilarious. Why they sat right next to each other would remain a mystery, but Sethos guessed that it was probably to amp up the tension.

    Summary

    It is biologically impossible for a man to replicate technological functions. As much as Kaveh (and colleagues) like calling Al-Haitham an index of niche and generally insignificant information on legs, he will never quite live up to the title.

    Here's a novel one: people must have taken to thinking of him as a human compass because they always seem to come to him when they're looking for Kaveh.

    People keep coming to Al-Haitham when they want to know where Kaveh is. Al-Haitham would be lying if he said he didn't know why.

    Summary

    “Deliverer, I have no issues with whatever literature you choose to indulge in.”

    A confused furrow to his brow. Then his face slackened with realisation that rushed to his head as quick as the blood flushing his cheeks.

    “I-it’s not—what are you trying to imply here? I am… my mind and my morals are pure! I have no need of such a thing I assure you I—“

    “Then what excuse will you give me for that scroll hidden behind your back?”

    While out on their usual morning visit to Marmoreal Marketplace, Mydei notices Phainon is lower on coin than usual and the answer as to why becomes obvious when he catches Phainon secretly purchasing an outrageously expensive scroll.

    Why would a piece of parchment be so expensive? Why would Phainon want it so desperately? And why would he hide it from Mydei?
