Summary
Alhaitham is just trying to survive his final year of university while juggling his secret identity as Spider-Man without jeopardizing his academic standing or dying. Simple goals. Unfortunately, his biggest obstacle isn’t a supervillain—it’s his endearingly overdramatic roommate.
Who won’t stop asking Alhaitham why he keeps coming home bruised.
And won't stop yelling at Spider-Man to understand basic architectural integrity when slamming bad guys into buildings.
(Or: Spider-Man!Alhaitham and Gwen Stacy!Kaveh)

Summary
“I’m fine!” Kaveh shouted, breathless. “I caught the web!”
Alhaitham barely managed to exhale—
“I don’t think he’ll be fine, Spider-Man.” The Doctor’s voice.
A sandy tendril, gleaming with glassy sharpness, snapped through the air—
And sliced clean through the web-line.
For one sickening second, the world held still. Then—
Kaveh was falling.
A world where Spider-Man fails. Mourns. Then, after some years, he falls into an alternate dimension where Kaveh is alive. Exactly the same eyes, same hair, same voice, same attitude. Minus a scar on his temple.

Summary
Turns out, moving on sometimes means moving right into a very complicated, very entangled, and quite frankly, very hot, new problem.
The trinkets were nothing significant.
“Oh, this one is sweet!”
“Mm. It’s Basbousa.”
“And this? It’s—wait. Wow. The cream is nice.”
“They called it Knafeh there.”
“Knafeh… Can you get more of it next time?”
“No.”Alhathaim would proceed to bring more next time.
He’d watch Kaveh's eyes light up, and tell himself it was a benign form of closure, a distant echo of a protection he could no longer offer.
(Or: The multiverse said “heal” and Alhaitham said “fine, but I’m taking your boyfriend too.”)
