"You're doing this on purpose!"
Alhaitham nips at a reddening ear, eliciting the faintest gasp from the man in his lap. "Doing what on purpose?"

Summary
“Lie down, you need to rest.”
Alhaitham does, obediently resting his head against the pillow. He tugs at their joined hands. “Kaveh. Stay with me?”
There’s something hollow making itself at home in Kaveh’s chest. Alhaitham is not in his right mind, but that doesn’t stop the thrill running up his spine at the words. “Of course.”
Having finished his project in the desert a few days earlier, Kaveh finds Alhaitham unconscious past the gates of Caravan Ribat.

Summary
Nahida takes a ribbon from the dresser and starts playing with it, slipping the material around her fingers to make shapes. "Mr Kaveh, I have another question."

"If I asked, would you be my family?"
In which Kaveh and Nahida have a heart-to-heart before school. As it turns out, talking about your emotions works wonders.

Summary
They both crave contact, one a sinner at the fount of the divine and the other a coward faced with a fighter.
Grace is beautiful, forged from starlight and soft cloth and every good thing. He loves to explore and learn and his hands are so gentle that when he works on Simon, it doesn’t even feel like dissection. It’s the feather-light brush of divinity on his skin.
God took Adam’s rib, touched mankind once and never again. How lucky is Simon, a sinner, Son of Eden and cast in Cain’s image, to touch the divine every day?Bookmarked by taro_avery

Summary
When Amon appeared to snatch the Jacob descendant He didn't just watch Klein go. He twisted space around him, peeled apart direction and intention, and dropped him somewhere far from the battlefield. The backlash was instantaneous, unavoidable.
In another forest some distance away, Leonard was busy with his own matters, completely unaware of the storm about to descend on him. However, he'd made a promise to himself. If Klein ever reached out for him, then he wasn't turning away. Not now. Not ever.

Summary
“It's him,” Aglaea says without hesitation. Mydei’s impressed that she's so calm. He isn't. He is on the verge of homicide or something. He'd start a war rather than be here.
“What should we do with him?” Mydei speaks quietly, with great caution. It's not his regular voice, but Phainon is sleeping on his lap, and he's a child. It's madness.
OR: something happens, returning Phainon to his younger self; Mydei should take care of him (and learn some important truths about both of them).

“She'll need stability,” he says after a moment. He finds Aventurine's gaze over the girl’s head. “You'll need to figure out what you plan to do in this…venture of yours. We will deduce a plan of action once you’ve decided.”
There it is again, that casually spoken ‘we’.
Aventurine laughs weakly, plucking at a blue crayon. “Yeah,” he says. “Yeah, we will.”
Or:
Without a contingency to fall back on, Aventurine rescues an orphan from the wreckage of her home-world. Ratio, perceptive as ever, finds out.
And then helps.Bookmarked by taro_avery
