Fics like stars fading (but I linger on)

After leaving Moiraine behind at the Eye of the World, Rand wanders southward, until he runs across the city of Cairhien, and discovers someone there he hadn't expected to see ever again. Rand studied the man in disbelief. His dark hair was longer now, enough so that he needed to reach up every now and then to push it back as he flirted with the stall vendor. His beard was shorter, or not so much shorter but a different shape — the sides were shaved off, that was the difference. His clothes were still as messy and disheveled as ever but… finer fabrics, more vibrant shades, cut more tightly against the silhouette of his body. He finished paying for his food — a meat pie, it looked to be — and, after one last smile to the vendor, he started walking away. As if drawn by a tether, Rand followed.
