Fics like reciprocal strain

Kaveh stared at him for one beat too long, then said, “You’ve got to be kidding.” Alhaitham didn’t turn. “Hello to you too.” “You’re on the panel.” “Yes.” “And you’re back in Sumeru.” “My residency ended.” Kaveh exhaled through his nose. “Of course.” A year after an awful blind date, Kaveh ends up on a university panel with Alhaitham. They haven’t spoken since, but now they’re forced back into each other’s proximity—first onstage, then over email, and eventually in person, again. It goes about as well as expected.
