    Summary

    When Lynette is injured in rehearsal a day before the next episode of "Dancing with the Archons" goes live, Lyney is forced to step in as champion boxer Wriothesley's partner. It's a terrible match, with undeniable physical chemistry only fueling their mutual dislike as they attempt to work together despite their differences (and a few unfortunate similarities).
    But what should be a temporary annoyance spirals into a viral sensation, and the unlikely duo find themselves dancing the line between hate and something else.

    Summary

    Kaveh’s face is bright, young, flushed, freckled, happy. He’s wearing an Akademiya uniform and is as tall as the last time Alhaitham saw him (fifteen minutes ago) which means he’s an inch or two shorter than the last time Alhaitham saw him, because the uniform boots are heeled. He’s staring at Alhaitham with the aforementioned flush spreading like dye over the silk of his cheeks.

    “Kaveh,” Alhaitham says. “Don’t freak out. I believe I’ve been displaced in time.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is so good, oh my god? Both of the dynamics absolutely destroy me: 18-year-old Kaveh with present-day Alhaitham and present-day Kaveh with skinny infant 16-year-old Alhaitham.

    Summary

    Alhaitham blows a sharp breath out of his mouth, opens his mouth to say something - and stops, clenching his jaw and shaking his head. He rolls his fingers into fists at his sides and glares at Kaveh. “You want to get a rise out of me, and I don’t particularly want to give you the satisfaction.”

    Kaveh steps forward to get in Alhaitham’s face, making him come to an abrupt stop in the middle of the street. “I can get a rise out of you whenever I want,” he leers, letting his eyes linger on Alhaitham’s chest, his arms, his hips, in a way that makes Alhaitham go abruptly pink. “I can make you angry too, if you’d prefer that.”
