Summary
There aren't many things that Wei Ying is certain of in life. Most days, he's not certain of even himself. But Lan Zhan has always been an exception to that. His level ground, unbudged through the worst of storms. Lan Zhan is the one certainty that keeps him grounded, the pillar Wei Ying leans on when the world feels like it's running away from him.
And all of a sudden, his level ground felt titled. It was shaky and unbalanced.
Wei Ying wasn't used to sharing Lan Zhan.
Wei Ying performs a loyalty check for funsies. Lan Zhan accidentally flirts with Yiling Laozu.

Summary
Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.
“Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
“Newton?”
“What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
“Dia-what?”
“Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
“...”
“Next.”It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.
“Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”
Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

Summary
“I’ve designed many buildings in my career,” Kaveh begins, the attention of every single person in the crowd fixed on him. “Most of which have been extravagant pieces made to stand tall in our city and glitter.”
Kaveh glances down at what must be some notes on the podium, pausing before he looks back up, shining in the bright lights of the stage.
“But in recent years, I must admit that my focus has shifted.”
Alhaitham leans forward, watching, hoping for something he can't quite admit. Not when the truth is that he’s never known how to say that he is hungry without fear that people will see the truth that he is starving.
Or, a year after the events of the Interdarshan Championship, Alhaitham finally retires

Summary
In thirty minutes, Alhaitham is going to be home, and Kaveh needs to be able to be his most composed self for the inevitable confrontation that will happen the second his roommate is through the door.
Actually— no, scratch that.
Why live through the confrontation at all when he could move out right the fuck now? If he starts packing this very second he can at least take a bag for some of his clothes and another for his most important tools. Right? Right.
Kaveh accidentally ends a phone call with “I love you.” Alhaitham… deals with it.

Summary
Two young students, racing through the underbrush, laughter spilling from their lips. Ignorant of everything else. Hand in hand, ready to face everything together.
Crimson eyes meeting teal—until their hands slip apart.
“In my monochrome world, you are the most colorful thing I’ve ever seen”.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.
An AU where they never reunite after their fallout, and Alhaitham begins his search for Kaveh far too late.
