Summary
“By Al-Ahmar, I don’t know a single bit of common language so please help me out here-!”
“Are you speaking Afiyar?” He replied, unbothered and cocking his head a bit as the Eremite dropped his hands with shock before letting out a sigh of relief.
“You understand Afiyar?! What a relief! I thought I was going to have to make a fool of myself so you could understand me…” The Eremite sighed before looking back up, the same expression of worry overtaking his face and he stared at the wound on Alhaitham’s head.
“Gods! You distracted me! Lay down you stupid man, your head is bleeding again!”
OR
For every bit of smart Alhaitham is, he was just a tiny bit stupid. Unfortunately for him, that stupid part of himself emerged as he gets caught up in a sandstorm in the Deserts of Hadramaveth, getting injured in the process. Being saved by a handsome rogue Eremite and their automaton companion, he realizes that knowing more than 20 different languages might be even more useful than he originally thought.
That, and the realization he might a thing for passionate Eremite geniuses who need a little help learning Common.

Summary
Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.
“Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
“Newton?”
“What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
“Dia-what?”
“Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
“...”
“Next.”It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.
“Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”
Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

Summary
When Alhaitham writes a book with a protagonist based on himself, he doesn't expect to see his own character stripped bare by a fanfiction writer who "identifies really strongly" with his love interest.
Alhaitham found himself smiling as he cooked dinner that night, thinking back on his conversation with “alkavarzaray,” the random online stranger who understood him to a terrifying degree. Creating any sort of art and allowing it to be perceived is extremely intimate in itself, but the idea that this man had properly understood and absorbed most of what Alhaitham had put out there, baring his soul— It was something between incredible and horrifying.
