A Martyr on the Altar of Ideals - A Kaveh Birthday Fic (link here)
" Kaveh had always been able to see the color of other’s spirits. Their aura, as he liked to call it. It was a useful tool in his pursuit of the arts, it allowed him to see the world as its own canvas, laying itself out before him in a delicate dance of harmonies and contrasts. Until Kaveh had seen a man completely devoid of an aura. " A story where Kaveh can see the color of souls and the tale of the ups and downs of his relationship with the man whose soul he struggles to see.

“Crushing me“ from Rise of the Pink Ladies is SO Kaveh trying to deal with his feelings towards Alhaitham in their Akademiya days
Sometimes, I think about how much Alhaitham's entire adult life has been shaped by Kaveh and I just... have to sit down for a second.
Kaveh was Alhaitham's first, and, as far as we've been told, only friend until recently. At the very least, Kaveh was likely his only close friend throughout Alhaitham's entire schooling years, from teens into adulthood.
Alhaitham lives in the house he received for his work with Kaveh. The house Alhaitham lives in wouldn't even exist without Kaveh.
Alhaitham's ideology and behavior have been shaped by his diametric opposition to Kaveh's perspectives. He acts and thinks the way he does in part because of how their debating over years shaped how Alhaitham sees the world.
He's become an active part of a friend group almost entirely because of Kaveh. Alhaitham's story quest says that he didn't become particularly friendly with the rest of Sumeru's saviors even after they saved the archon, but now we see him hanging out with Cyno and Tighnari all the time because Kaveh was friends with them first and eased the way.
He even drinks a particular brand of coffee because he and Kaveh picked it together.
If you removed all trace of Kaveh from Alhaitham's life, virtually nothing would be the same. He wouldn't live where he does now. His house wouldn't look like it does inside at all. He very likely wouldn't have a single close friend. His ideology would probably be significantly more pragmatic and cold. Literally the only thing in Alhaitham's current life that hasn't been shaped in some way by Kaveh is Alhaitham's job. Which is... probably why work is Alhaitham's least favorite aspect of life.
Meanwhile, Kaveh is honest to archons over here wondering "What does Alhaitham even think about me?"
I don't know, buddy, probably that you're his whole world?
Me: Yea I like this ship but they're totally unique and I don't have a type.

Got into digital art and did this
Had an idea for a Forest Fairy Spirit Kaveh AU!!
In the AU, kaveh's parents were both scholars, but his mother was also from a declining race of a forest spirit that was said to be (in the au) descendants of the goddess of flowers. The spirits are capable of appearing both human and as spirits. In their human form, the only give away of their true nature is their unique eye color of deep red, and their glassy looking wings
Kaveh has never been ashamed of his other form but also not too up front with it either. He has found his comfort in being more human. He only changes his form a few times when his body needs to get energy from the flowers in his chest. The vines distribute the energy throughout his body. Alhaitham knew about this when they first became friends, as it was never a secret, but he had never seen it until a chance moment, and he was struck by how beautiful kaveh is during his spirit form.
From then on, Alhaitham was more aware of Kaveh's other features, not just his appearance. He paid more attention to his actions and characteristics, and how endearing they were to him. It didnt take long until kaveh noticed Alhaitham not paying as much attention to his books as he usually would. This led to him being worried for the other's wellbeing, as kaveh has always been attracted to alhaitham regardless of their many quarrels.
Cue the whole confessions talk from a misunderstanding that wasn't actually a misunderstanding. And thus they became a couple.
Modern au biker girl fem Haitham has me in a chokehold
I added some scars for flavour

I tried my new markers and it didnt work out how I wanted, definitely not my best work. But I'm still happy with it!!
KAVEH: *bent over his desk, drunk, crying on the fifth draft of his design, still in debts*
ALHAITHAM: Him. My perfect reflection, my mirror. The only person I want by my side forever. My only one.

Kaveh and Alhaitham Relationship Headcanons~
Tw: none
Pre-relationship~
Alhaitham was the #1 Kavetham denier
Kaveh was aware of his feelings and just kinda moped about it
Poor man thought Alhaitham didn't like him back so he would just be all sad
Alhaitham was in denial
He didn't even realize that he had been crushing on Kaveh for the longest time
He just thought that he had grown attached
Kaveh brings Alhaitham food whenever he goes out (THIS AINT A HEADCANON THIS IS CANON AND WE ALL KNOW IT)
Alhaitham's face is on like every page of Kaveh’s sketchbook
They bicker a lot but the moment Alhaitham thinks he's genuinely hurting Kaveh he gets all apologetic and switches topics
Because Alhaitham doesn't talk to people a lot Kaveh didn't really get jealous when someone flirted with Alhaitham
BUT ALHAITHAM-
Naur this man was so down bad without even knowing it if someone got too “close” with Kaveh he would try to one-up whoever the offending person's intelligence
Everyone but Alhaitham can see how Kaveh is desperately pining after him
No one can see Alhaitham pining after Kaveh other than Nahida
They just think it is an L for Kaveh and many people tell him to move on
(Kaveh does not move on)
When Kaveh gets too drunk and starts getting sad Alhaitham will “rEluCtanTly” console him.
Cyno and Tighnari have a bet on who will confess first because Tighnari heard with his massive ears Alhaitham consoling Kaveh while he was blackout drunk
Eventually Nahida steps in, after watching Alhaitham read every book in the library to try and figure out what his feelings are
Alhaitham denies the claims, and Nahida just is like: You gay.
Kaveh confesses first and has this whole rant where he's like “I know you don't feel the same way and you can kick me out of your house.”
Alhiatham just went “I like you too.” he won at life and was having an internal party
Cue awkward staring
Alhaitham just kinda asked if Kaveh wanted to kiss and they did
Dendro gays are official :D
Relationship~
They have separate rooms but despite that, Kaveh likes sleeping in Alhaitham's room since he likes being close to him
Alhaitham likes having Kaveh’s presence nearby
Alhaitham actually struggles to sleep if he can't feel Kaveh’s presence nearby
When they get into an argument Alhaitham will steal Kaveh’s keys to force Kaveh to talk to him
Despite his appearance, Alhaitham requires at least one physical contact a day with Kaveh, aka buff abs man needs a kiss to function
Alhaitham does not want Kaveh to move out, one time Kaveh mentioned it, and Alhaitham just flat-out said you're not leaving.
Alhaitham doesn't do much physical contact but he just likes having Kaveh near him, like as long as Kaveh is within arms reach he is happy
They will have dates where Alhiatham reads and Kaveh draws him
Alhiatham fills Kaveh’s sketchbook more than ever
Alhaitham likes looking at the drawings Kaveh made
Kaveh constantly gets hit on by other men because of how feminine he looks and Alhaitham just kinda glares
He wont say anything to get people to back off, he’ll just glare or move closer to Kaveh
Alhaitham is so soft for Kaveh its like wild and at the same time hes the biggest jerk to Kaveh
One of their love language is bickering,
No you can't change my mind
They will nitpick each other's tastes but never go as far as to actually hurt each other's feelings
When Kaveh cries Alhaitham just throws all his brain cells out the window, now he is just fussing over Kaveh, holding him and whispering reassurances his brain turns to mush and the only thought is to make Kaveh feel better
If anyone other than Kaveh knew about this he would kill himself he never wants this to get out
Inktail’s Dendro bonus of a wedding plan~
They both get each other rings, well Kaveh makes his for Alhaitham, and Alhaitham just buys one.
Kaveh took on like a million commissions so he could get the materials for the ring
He has an entire sketchbook dedicated to ring designs
Alhaitham just gets a simple gold ring with their names engraved (it costs more mora than the rent)
Alhaitham proposes first and after calming down a Kaveh crying from joy Alhiatham receives his ring.
While it is somewhat bedazzled and has a pair of jewels Alhiatham still wears it since Kaveh gave it to him
Kaveh got a green jewel that matched Alhaitham’s boob gem
Kaveh cried at their wedding,
Alhaitham was internally combusting at their wedding
Nahida was the officiator
Collei was the flower girl
And Scaramouche was the makeup artist
Late Night Cries (and some denial of feelings)
TW: Not much just Kaveh crying and being sad while Alhaitham is Alhaithaming
------------------------------------------
Alhaitham didn't know how he ended up here, his annoying, overly-emotional, whiny roommate crying with his stupid face pressed into Alhaithams chest. Weirder yet, Alhaitham was holding said roommate close to him, no matter how much he willed himself to let go, his body would not obey, one hand rubbing soothing circles against Kaveh's back as the blonde sobbed. For some reason his scholarly brain couldn't figure it out. Alhaitham felt as though someone had tore his heart from his chest whenever he caught a glimpse of Kaveh's eyes, now full of tears and sorrow. Alhaitham also couldn't figure out why he was so determined to comfort his roommate. Normally when he watched people cry he would just scoff and move on calling them emotional, but for some reason when it's Kaveh. His roommate. Who drives him insane. All of a sudden he's bending over backwards, hugging and soothing him.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry." Kaveh let out a few sobs as he clung to Alhaitham, and to his absolute horror before he could stop himself he opened his mouth and replied.
"It's okay. I am here." If he could, he would have recoiled out of his own skin, why did he spit out such words. Why wasn't he thinking before speaking? Did Kaveh drug him? No. It was probably Tighnari, stupid bastard and his herbs. Then again, Alhaitham hadn't seen Tighnari in a while... he mulled it over trying to figure out why he was acting so strange all while a crying Kaveh sobbed in his arms. Thankfully it seemed Alhaithams words flew completely over Kaveh's head as he continued sobbing out apologies for clinging to him and crying. There was a strange beauty in how Kaveh looked when he cried. While for some reason seeing Kaveh's tears seemed to cause Alhaitham pain, on the other hand Alhaitham could see the details of Kaveh's face from how close the blonde was to him. From his long eyelashes that curled at the ends, to the way his hair despite being a complete total mess framed his face in a way that made his stomach tie in knots. It was so stupid.
“I… I shouldn't be troubling you.” Kaveh mumbled sitting up as he tried to wipe his tears, however as the blonde pulled away, Alhaitham pulled him right back. It was as if his body had developed a mind of its own as it hugged Kaveh close to him.
“No it’s alright.” Alhaitham once again spoke without thinking, as he gently rubbed his hand soothingly against Kaveh’s back. He couldn't quite figure out why his heart seemed to skip a beat when Kaveh related, still sniffling as he rested his head on Alhaithams chest. I must be riddled with some illness, perhaps I should go see Tighnari and have him sort this peculiar behavior out. Alhaitham thought to himself as he stroked Kaveh’s back, he didn't even notice when Kaveh’s sobs stopped and were replaced by soft snores. And instead of pushing Kaveh on the floor or leaving to return to his room like a normal sane person. Alhaitham just sat there holding the blonde architect close to him as if Kaveh was the most important thing in the world. His mind was riddled with questions and hypothesis, not that they really stuck his brain seemingly melting into mush when Kaveh let out a soft sound and pressed his head into the crook of Alhaithams neck.
Random rambles:
I would really love to see an Aventio/Ratiorine animatic with the song 'I won't say I'm in love' from Disney's Hercules movie. Like, Ratio is just refusing to acknowledge the fact he has feelings for Aventurine/Kakavasha, meanwhile the Trailblazers (Stelle and Caelus), maybe possibly Topaz and March being the muses attempting to convince him to accept it. Or maybe a Haikaveh/Kavetham version of the song with Kaveh singing, while almost the entire Sumeru cast + Traveler and Paimon being the muses. Or maybe the other way around with Aventurine/Kakavasha or Alhaitham😂
the sumeru concept of the academic family was criminally under explored. you’re telling me cyno and tighnari and collei consider themselves an academic family? kaveh and alhaitham got academically divorced and that’s basically the same thing as getting maritally divorced in sumeru? unreal.
