    Summary

    The thing is that they sleep in the same bedroom, occasionally in the same bed—but beyond that, they remain stuck in an unshakable sort of stasis that Kaveh simply doesn’t know how to break out of.

    There is this hollow in their relationship, one that Kaveh wonders if he’s alone in feeling. This empty space in the centre of it all that so clearly marks out what’s missing, and yet leaves not a hint at how to fill it.

    It’s a natural conclusion to arrive at: Alhaitham is simply not attracted to him.

    There is a space between them that Kaveh doesn't know how to close.

    Summary

    Essek does not need to ask for anything else from this particular moment. He doesn’t.

    This is enough for him, it is.

    But that question echoes from memory to present:

    Is it?

    Essek flexes his cold fingers against words long absorbed.

    Perhaps he can allow himself a little more warmth today.

    Perhaps today is the day to finally speak what this is.

    AKA the wizards play a game, test out a new 8th-level spell, and have a nice chat

    “Come up and see me while you’re here,” Seungho said.

    Nakyum shook her head but said, “When?”

    “Whenever,” Seungho said. “I’m always home.”

    Summary

    Xie Lian isn’t particularly worried about the progress of his relationship with Hua Cheng. After all, Hua Cheng seems to be fine with just kissing and hugging for now; wouldn't it be weird to ask for something else? Maybe one day they’d do more, when Xie Lian is ready. He wants to be ready.

    Then, Xie Lian has a nightmare.
