Cyno sq 1 (unspecified time, possibly during the events of the aq)

The Court of Desolation is presented as an allegory for forbidden knowledge, as regardless of its authenticity people still give up their lives (figuratively and literally) for it, which justifies the role of the matra in the region so they can protect those who attempt the forbidden

Taj gives up his life to seal the Court under the sands

Cyno asks him to say hi to his son (but doesn't say goodbye in the original Chinese dialogue)

Cyno expresses his grief through the desire to plant flowers that can withstand the desert whether in Taj's grave, which is kept secret to the public

an alhaitham × gn!reader series

synopsis. alhaitham would say he was content with his way of life. but that's not until he stumbles upon the mystery of your disappearance when he starts to doubt it — when your case reveals that it is not all that it seems, and when you begin visiting him in his dreams. he discovers complexities to himself and you that he's never before, piecing the mystery — and himself — together along the way.

featuring. alhaitham, gn!reader, kaveh, aether, paimon, lisa

But u know when u r Turkish Asian with a A-student's issues it's kinda hard to have a mercy in urself
