    Summary

    “Ah.” Kaveh glows with Dendro, reacting instinctively, but before Al-Haitham can reach him, and before he can do anything, there is a sickening lurch in the space around them—it sends them both stumbling, and Kaveh loses his grip on the doorframe—

    —and Kaveh falls outside, tumbling into the shapeless nothing, eyes wide as the darkness swallows him whole—

    —And Al-Haitham wakes up from a fitful sleep, and knows that something is wrong.

    Or: Al-Haitham and Kaveh are trapped in a time loop.

    Summary

    People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.

    There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.

    Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

    Summary

    Tighnari’s jaw snaps shut. They both watch in silence as Al-Haitham, ritual worshiper of the daily workplace routine, a transcendently habitual creature set in his ways since the moment he accepted this job offer, reaches thoughtlessly into his desk organizer for a pen and instead comes up with three-quarters of a pastel blue crayon.

    Al-Haitham pauses. He looks down at the crayon in his hand; then, at the document he was about to sign. Next, he casts his gaze across the rest of his desk, where it lands on a sheet of scratch-n-sniff stickers in place of his post-its and a heart-shaped hole punch replacing his stapler. His hand visibly twitches.

    I will get you, he mouths at Kaveh. Then he puts down the crayon and signs the phrase without breaking eye contact, just to be thorough.

    Good luck, moron, Kaveh signs back. Then he blows a kiss.

    Al-Haitham and Kaveh have a totally normal and mature workplace prank war of totally normal and mature proportions.

    Summary

    “I don’t want to tell them the truth.” Kaveh repeats, and he’s walking a few steps one way, then the other, pacing the opposite side of the room. There’s cogs turning in his mind and Alhaitham wishes he could throw a wrench in there somehow to make them stop. “I want… I want to pretend it’s real.”

    or, Kaveh wants a taste of freedom, and Alhaitham's always willing to be part of an experiment.

    Summary

    Their faces are very close now. They’re both huffing, winded from the run. When Kaveh exhales, Al-Haitham can smell the mint gum he always liked to chew.

    “I hate you,” Kaveh spits, but he doesn’t move away.

    “I know.” Al-Haitham brings a hand up to his face. He pauses before he wipes away a tear.

    Kaveh’s trembling. “You ruined me."

    Al-Haitham exhales, slow and shuddery. “I know.”

    Kaveh closes his eyes— “I hate that you left me.”

    —and Al-Haitham kisses him.

    After four long years, Al-Haitham finally returns to the idol industry.
