[throwaway-yandere]

*does something to the irminsul tree* wdym?? no one knows who candle anon is--

that aside, more on to this idea but very different(?? random thought entered rn):

time traveller (not by choice) alhaitham hopping from one decade to the next and demon/immortal reader watching all that shit to happen.

alhaitham, pops out of nowhere during 2022:

reader, pausing from doing a tiktok: aww not this bitch again.

literal chaos, idk how to pull this off with yanderes (im no expert) but imagine alhaitham using reader's loneliness to make them emotionally dependent on him + the distance/absence makes the heart yearn for more idk man lol + alhaitham only using reader for his convenience

- 🕯 havent done her assignments yet

Dang, you a Scaramouche kinnie fr fr

Reader: *renegading* aww yee.

Alhaitham: I'd like to remind you about your car's extended warranty–

Reader: What the– you again?! Give it a rest buddy!–

Okay but fr, idk inuyasha but yandere time traveling!alhaitham is a fun concept with a demon!reader. I'm gonna make sht up since I've never watched the show completely so this is gonna be different from InuYasha

Yan!Alhaitham who made a deal with the demon!reader: he gets time traveling to complete his linguistics thesis about King Deshret while the reader gets to have his "heart".

Alhaitham trusts in his abilities as a scholar, hence, he didn't directly ask a cheat code for an early graduation. Plus, he thinks time traveling is far more useful in the longterm.

You often joked that he should've taken the easy route cause you would've asked him for his fingernails instead– albeit you'd likely draw it out of him in a more torturous and sadistic manner– but it's a lot less permanent than a heart, right?

Alhaitham chuckled.

He found you funny. It should be concerning that the only person that could make him chuckle is a demon, but he had been dubbed a lunatic several times that this fact did not faze him.

You dangled around the roof of his house whenever no one is looking. You'd ask for some daily commodities like apples– but never beans. Sometimes, your requests for the mundane makes him forget that you're not human. Sometimes, the smile you give him makes him slyly cover the blush in his face with a solemn cough.

Sometimes, the way you listen to him talk about his dreams makes him forget that you're only after one thing.

Still, the dire consequence attached when trading your heart away is that you'll become permanently apathetic. He wouldn't be able to feel anything unless he is close to the demon that acquired his heart.

That... And he's technically corrupted by forbidden knowledge.

Yan!Alhaitham completes his thesis, got full marks, and the deal was done. Demon!reader leaves him immediately, cackling as they thank the foolish mortal for even giving them something as vital as his heart.

He couldn't smell flowers anymore.

He couldn't taste food anymore.

He feels sick... But isn't at the same time.

His vision is grey. His tone is dull. His emotional reactions are timed and fake.

But he's efficient.

That's what mattered to him. Efficiency.

At least, it did.

After the archon quests, he decided to take a vacation. He leaves a note, saying something along the lines of "Alhaitham has passed away." in his desk for Kaveh to find before moving on.

He conjures up a portal somewhere 50 years down the line.

Then he felt it.

A heartbeat.

He looked around frantically– Alhaitham hasn't panicked this much in YEARS– his feet immediately scurried to find the source.

Alhaitham stops in his tracks as he saw you smiling at Aether, holding a bouquet of white roses with you. Of course, he expected to see the traveler alive and well for they've always been immortal– but what left him gawking was the glint in his hand.

The metallic glint on both of your ring fingers.

Alhaitham shook from where he stood.

King Deshret's voice echoed through his mind.

"The heart has its reasons which reason knows not."

and you'll find out soon what his recaptured emotions will flood back.
