Teaching Hindrance by WhereLifeIsStrong for Torihakarau

Summary
When the Akademiya invited Kaveh back into its hallowed halls as a visiting professor, he simply could not say no. Wasn’t it his duty as a member of society to pay that guidance forward? Could anything be more sacred than the opportunity to impart wisdom and inspiration unto others?
That is how he got to where he is now: sprawled out on the divan, head in Al-Haitham's lap, with eighty-five papers to grade for "Theories of Urban Design."
It's simple in theory — Kaveh's work as a professor is taxing, and he could use a teaching assistant to help him out. Al-Haitham decides he is exactly the man for the job.

Summary
"So if you charge it with enough Dendro, it'll run on its own?" Haitham had surmised the night before.
His face, of course, was completely neutral as he studied the machine — but he was interested. Kaveh could tell from the glint in his eye.
"Yes. I'll be working on my drafts, you'll be tied down, and neither of us will have to lift a finger to make it work." Kaveh ran his finger along the cool metal, tiny blooms of Dendro trailing behind, and the machine stuttered to life.
Kaveh often has work to do. Al-Haitham often wants to be indulged. So Kaveh puts his years of Kshahrewar studies to use.

Summary
"Byleth Eisner." They like to keep their introduction short and to the point, and this is no exception. "I'm a professor at the Officers Academy in Garreg Mach Monastery."
The hooded figure's face splits into a grin. They sheathe the strange weapon-like device at their belt and hold out a hand.
"Welcome, Professor."
(In which Kiran is a fish out of water, and Byleth is a photograph of the ocean.)

Summary
Rationally, Kaveh shouldn’t ask Alhaitham if he wants Kaveh to help him. He really shouldn’t. Sex could ruin this peace treaty they have non-verbally contracted between them. Sex could mean things will get horribly, terribly awkward. Sex would mean that Kaveh would never be able to look at Alhaitham without thinking of the memory of Alhaitham’s hands all over his body.
“Have you really thought this through?” Alhaitham asks once again, and he hasn’t sounded this serious since his offer to house Kaveh so many moons ago.
“This is my fault, as you said. I should take responsibility.” Kaveh weakly replies, licking his lips nervously. “Right?”
or: an incredibly down bad Kaveh finally gets to top his roommate

Summary
Al-Haitham watched as the door clicked shut after Panah’s retreating figure. Then he turned back towards his desk, his bright gaze settling over the parcel once more. There it sat, looming at the edge of his desk like an ominous plot device; he couldn’t help but wonder if its curious contents would be even worth half the trouble, and the possibility it may unleash yet another unknown and iniquitous terror upon the world.
A chance discovery of an old relic had piqued Al-Haitham and Kaveh's curiosity enough to investigate its cryptic inscriptions. Seeking clues in the desert, Kaveh and Faruzan find themselves trapped within a domain, while an injured Al-Haitham and flustered Paimon battle their way through the ruins to help rescue their companions.

Summary
Kaveh once thought that he would run out of himself. He would give and give and one day there wouldn’t be any left and then he would die. But there is no dying in e-cigarette purgatory and there is no salvation in waiting for eternity, except maybe if Kaveh waits for one more eternity there will be.

Summary
Once he’d secured the harness around himself, Al-Haitham finally glances over. He meets the concern that’s flushed over Kaveh’s features with the faintest glimmer of a smile; a steady reassurance.
Kaveh blinks, caught off guard by the unexpected smile. Then, he exhales, and asks, once more: “Are you certain about this? You don’t have to be the one to race. I’m the one who built this craft, I’m more than familiar—”
“Much more certain than you are.” Al-Haitham replies. “Besides, did you forget that I've to be the one to win this race? That’s part of Nahida’s bet with Sangemah Bay. No need to worry—I’ll be fine.” He pulls the goggles over his eyes as he nods at the mechanic, a glint of wry amusement in his gaze. “Jedi reflexes are a lot quicker than most, after all.”
“You…” Kaveh’s expression sours at that, his concern morphing into indignation. “Who said I was worrying about you!? It’s the Pod I’m really concerned about! I’ve just about perfected the engine efficiency and thruster stabilisers, so don’t you go crashing it beyond repair!”
The Jedi, the Mechanic, and the Queen’s fight for her people’s freedom. A Mechanic!Kaveh x Racer!Al-Haitham Star Wars AU.

do you like al-haitham? do you like obi-wan kenobi? do you want to spend 8,000 words picturing al-haitham as obi-wan kenobi while we reenact the events of Star Wars Episode 1 and examine what it means to be "home"? me too. read this fic, it's a good time
