    Summary

    After losing everything to his gambling addiction, Kaveh is cast out into the unforgiving streets, with nowhere to turn and no one to depend on. Struggling to survive and come to terms with his traumatic past, he faces the brutal realities of life in its rawest form. Just when he thinks he’s hit rock bottom and about to leave the world, a mysterious figure named Alhaitham enters his world.

    Wealthy, weirdly charming, and with motives hidden behind a cold façade, Alhaitham offers Kaveh a lifeline—but at a steep price. In exchange for clearing Kaveh's crushing debts, Alhaitham demands the most unexpected of bargains: Kaveh must become his personal maid..for the rest of his life.

    Now the question is...is their complicated relationship worth more than just what it seems to be? Or is it just another tragic story with doomed lovers who leave in different directions?

    Summary

    “You chose him over your woman,” Cyno didn’t continue, but his rhapsodical expression loudly screamed, ‘dude, what the actual fuck?’
    “I can explain,” Kaveh pointed his forefinger upwards, “his heat’s coming.”
    A mutual, mute ‘oh,’ escaped Cyno’s and Tighnari’s lips.

    or,
    (Kaveh was trying to be a good friend and Alhaitham was just being himself.)
    Your classic ‘academic rivals to bickering roommates to eventual lovers’ trope blends with the not-so-classic ‘alpha/beta/omega' dynamics.

    Summary

    When Alhaitham coughs up the first petal the week after his disastrous fallout with Kaveh, he knows right away his life will be cut short.

    However, he isn't exactly the type to go down without a fight. There's still several things he wants to do with his last few years- whether that be taking down the government, or getting through his extensive reading list.

    The question is, can Alhaitham figure out his place in this world before the flowers send him to an early grave?

    Summary

    Kaveh has been cursed, losing his ability to use all language.

    His affliction turns from frustrating to devastating when Alhaitham comes down with a disease that feeds off of unrequited love, and he doesn’t believe Kaveh returns his affections. Kaveh will have to find a way to convince him.

    Kaveh reaches for Alhaitham and tries to kiss him, but Alhaitham pulls away.

    "Kaveh,” Alhaitham says. “I know that bleeding heart of yours wants to save me because I’m dying, but that’s not how this works. You can’t just force yourself to fall in love with someone.”

    Kaveh shakes his head vigorously. Listen to me, he wants to scream. I love you, and I need you, and you can’t leave me, don’t leave me—

    Summary

    Alhaitham is hit by a magical curse that leaves him vulnerable and bereft of his memories. Naturally, he decides not to tell the kind blond man who is definitely his partner about that last part.

    Kaveh has his hands full taking care of Alhaitham. Alhaitham is acting strangely, and he seems convinced that they’re in a relationship. Kaveh doesn't know how he's going to get out of this with his heart intact.

    “I don’t remember anything about you,” Alhaitham admits. “Or him,” he nods at Cyno. “Or even my partner,” he says, gesturing at Kaveh.

    Kaveh chokes on air. Partner?

    “Ah. Was that supposed to be a secret?”

    “We’re roommates!” Kaveh splutters.

    “Right. ‘Roommates,’” Alhaitham says, with a smirk.

     

    Lesser Lord Kusanali, have mercy.
