    Summary

    The death of a star

    The newsroom says goodbye (and good luck) to the rider who made us smile the most

    Three months after the accident, the twenty-seven-year-old rider Kakavasha breaks the silence. “For me, life is a grand race, and the circuit is a bet. I race against myself, for myself. But the real gamble starts now: my team and I still have surprises in store.”


    After a career-ending crash injures legendary rider Aventurine, ambitious, young, MotoGP rider Ratio meets his retired rival again when their shared manager Jade proposes a risky partnership: Aventurine as Ratio’s mechanic, determined to reshape the younger rider’s approach to racing.

    From Chapter VI:

    In life he has no certainties and fundamentally believes nothing is equal to anything else, but this is tangible and gives him a meaning. Veritas’ lips on his skin. Aventurine tightens his legs imperceptibly. Or at least he hopes so. It feels like a leap into the void, fastening oneself to love.

    Summary

    Sokka is born in the dead of winter with a red dragon curling down the left side of his back.

    Zuko is born in the sweltering heat of summer with a sword down his spine.

    He doesn’t want to talk about it when their gazes turn on him. They make assumptions— is it someone he left behind in the Fire Nation? He looks away when he agrees with them.

    Toph brushes past him when they all part ways. She says, “I know you’re lying.”

    Summary

    Under the leadership of Fire Lord Iroh, the Fire Nation has made every attempt to restore peace and make amends for the harm they inflicted during the Seventy-Year War. Their newest proposal is a literal proposal: a marriage to unite the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes.

    The Fire Nation offers Prince Zuko’s hand.

    The Water Tribes offer Princess Yue’s.

    Sokka is apparently the only person in the world who has a problem with any of this.

    Summary

    Iroh insists they create a new life and identity in Ba Sing Se. Zuko wants nothing more than to bide his time until his next opportunity to return home, until he realizes ‘Lee’ can get away with things Zuko never could.
    Zuko dons the mantle of the Blue Spirit again only to lose his focus when the Avatar comes to the city. This time, however, his attention is drawn to the annoying Southern Tribe warrior.

    “I see.” Zuko closes the scroll. “Is the Water Tribe sending a replacement?”

    “Uh yeah,” Sokka gestures to himself dramatically. “You’re looking at him.”

    Summary

    A devouring force, awakened accidentally by the old gods of the sands, threatened to consume Sumeru, and a terrible curse cast upon the royal family was the only way to temporarily subdue it.
    When the prince was still a child, he asked the king and queen about their shared affliction often. Though they were unable to give him all the answers he desired, they knew that their son, ever eager to know the truth about everything, would someday seek those answers for himself.
    Perhaps someday, he would find them.

    Summary

    “Is this some sort of courting ritual,” Al-Haitham finally gives in, loathing that he’s given Cyno the upper hand.

    Cyno looks at the air beside Al-Haitham’s face, his owlish eyes narrowed into something more thoughtful. “Not to my knowledge.”

    An unexpectedly ambiguous response for someone as unambiguous as the General Mahamatra. Al-Haitham watches as a wisp of baby hair falls onto Cyno’s forehead and he immediately pushes it back. “You would know,” Al-Haitham informs him.

    “I honestly don’t think that I would.”

    Summary

    Apocalypse: Star Rail might be the worst game Dr. Veritas Ratio has ever played. In what world is murdering half the known universe for no reason even remotely reasonable? What kind of game kills off its most compelling characters just for shock value?

    Also, why is he now in the game — and as a damn NPC, out of all things?


    【 Activation Code: “Moronic developers, moronic game.” It is our sincere wish that during your time, you can fulfill your desires and, in accordance with your wish, transform a piece of moronic work into a magnificent, high-quality, first-rate classic. Bound Role: Unnamed male NPC of the Veritas Prime star system, age 0. 】

    【 Congratulations! Welcome to Apocalypse: Star Rail, version ██! 】


    Well. If these idiot developers can’t take constructive criticism, Veritas might as well construct the criticism himself… by forcibly inserting himself into a plot where he’s never existed.

    Summary

    It took a moment for Cyno to find his words again. And when he did, he was careful, as if afraid this was a sensitive subject. “You’ve never been in love?”

    Alhaitham shook his head. “Not that I’m aware of.”

    “Nor been attracted to someone?”

    “I’ve read on the subject, but none of my emotions seemed to match that sort of desire, so no.”

    “Huh.”

    Summary

    Venturing into the desert after runaway thesis students is, unfortunately, a normal part of Cyno's job. The same can't be said of Alhaitham, feeble scholar extraordinare, and yet he's here anyway. It's an addition Cyno doesn't need, no matter how helpful Alhaitham can be, but though the company's better than expected, the complications only get worse from there.

    Summary

    There was a child on the divan.

    She didn’t look particularly old, perhaps five or six, with startlingly white and silver hair tipped with green. Her eyes were intensely green and though she seemed surprised to see Kaveh, her smile was sweet. “Hello,” she said. “Are you Kaveh?”

    “Um,” Kaveh said eloquently. “Yes?”

    Kaveh comes back from a trip into the desert for inspiration and finds out that Alhaitham's daughter will be staying with them for an undetermined amount of time.

    He's perfectly normal about this.

    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

    “One scholar’s complaint should not doom an ancient ruin,” Candace says frantically. “The domain is a priceless remnant from King Deshret’s kingdom. It’s a cultural artifact that belongs to the Sands!”

    “This domain sits far from any authority that can keep the area safe,” Cyno says.

    “It’s far from Sumeru City’s authority, you mean,” Candace retorts.

    “It’s far from the Matra’s offices,” Cyno corrects. “It’s the Matra that keeps scholars safe. And it is the Matra that rescues anyone trapped in domains.”

    -–

    Kaveh goes missing on an expedition to the desert, leading to a tense reunion amongst the desert gang. It’s a headache fueled by conflicting motivations. Aside from finding the missing party, Cyno wants order, Candace wants them gone, Dehya wants everyone to get along–

    And Alhaitham just wants Cyno to himself.

    Summary

    Alhaitham's heart galloped in his chest, the only sound in the silent hallway. A moment later, a thunk echoed from the other side of the door, like something heavy had slid down the wall and fallen in a heap, followed by a high-pitched whine.

    What, Alhaitham thought, was that all about?

    And how could he make Kaveh do it again?

    ********
    Kaveh misinterprets Alhaitham-being-Alhaitham as a full-blown love confession and throws himself at his crush, quite literally.
    Alhaitham has no idea what he said to cause such an interesting reaction in his prickly roommate, but he's willing to do just about anything to make it happen a second time.
    Chaos ensues.

    Summary

    "Are you dating him?" Tighnari asked one afternoon when he caught the Scribe alone in the hallway.
    "Always." Alhaitham replied, without giving it a second thought.
    "Archons, Alhaitham. Does he know you're dating him?"
    Alhaitham snorted, a flush dashing across his high cheekbones. "What do you think?"
    Tighnari leveled a piercing stare at Alhaitham in return. "I think you both must've fallen out of the Stupid Tree and hit every branch on the way down." He shook his head. "Come on, Alhaitham! At some point, one of you is going to have to say something!"

    Alhaitham figures out his sexuality at fourteen years old. It takes Kaveh nearly twice as long. That doesn't stop Kaveh from making out with Alhaitham all over Sumeru in the interim.

    Summary

    If his eyes could glow, he'd most certainly sell them. Anyone would be a fool not to.

     

    When his information and photo is put onto a black market website with a hefty sum for his head, it is Aventurine himself who takes on the task of infiltrating the market with the intent to either raze it to the ground, or turn it into something profitable for the IPC. Truly, the only entertaining element is that it is Veritas Ratio who must follow him through a swarm of hunters waiting to sink their claws deep into his throat.

    "After the summer's yield, Lord, it is time
    to let your shadow lengthen on the sundials
    and in the pastures let the rough winds fly."
    --Rainer Maria Rilke

    --

    All things in life are temporary . But Alhaitham's life always seems to come back to being about Kaveh.

    Summary

    “Can I help you?” Alhaitham asked, settling back into his chair. He was never completely sure where he stood with Tighnari. Were they friends? Possibly. Probably. They drank together, at least. But Tighnari was a little too sharp for Alhaitham’s comfort; he always felt a little transparent under his eyes. But now those eyes weren’t focused on him. They weren’t really focused on anything. Tighnari looked half-mad with exhaustion, hair mussed and ears twitching wildly. He leaned one hand heavily against the doorway as he slumped in place.
    “Where is the Temple of Silence?”

     

    When Hermanubis turns against his host and leaves Cyno near dead, Alhaitham has too little time and too much desert to search in a desperate bid to find the Temple of Silence and the only people who might be able to save him. (Oh yeah. And then maybe he can confess.)
