Imagine waking up from a long sleep and regaining your memories just because of the cascade of letters awaiting you. Imagine reading and remembering your student and friend, the only person who knows your struggles, who wrote all these letters that are here for you, who went through so much hardship and pain in places you couldn't see and must read between the lines to even know.
You are an angel, one of the strongest existences in the world, and yet the other has gone far beyond you, to somewhere you can't ever reach. The only thing you can do is write to him as he did to you, so that when he returns, he would not forget the person he is at heart. Until that day, you wait. Hoping for the best, but never knowing when or even if he'll return.
(thinking of their relationship again and i want to die)
#klein is the *only* person as far as we know that has been with azik through his self-discovery#azik is one of the few people who knows what klein's been through from being there and because of the letters#klein opened himself in those letters in a way he would never do face-to-face#like when he mentioned his time in tingen and wanting to go back to those days...#as always these two drive me insane#lord of the mysteries#lotm#lord of mysteries#azik eggers#klein moretti#platonic aziklein#lotm spoilers

The difference between Klein's letter to Azik after becoming a Sequence 1, reassuring him that everything is fine, and how he says nothing after the Fool's Gambit cuts me:
Chapter 1359: "I haven't written to you in another month, because I had no choice but to sleep for some time. This isn't because I'm hurt, but because the ritual requires it."
Chapter 1390: "Due to some complicated reasons, I might be sleeping for a long time. I'm sorry, but I might not be able to write a letter to you for a long time..."
#does klein ever speak about his troubles in his letters to azik?#S1 ritual interrupted by three angels is 'i was sleeping and now woke up'#but for fool's gambit there's nothing even slightly positive with how uncertain the future is#lord of the mysteries#lotm#lord of mysteries#klein moretti#azik eggers#platonic aziklein#lotm spoilers

Minor headcanon:
As a senior associate professor, Quentin Cohen was rather busy, so while on paper he was Klein's mentor, Azik as Cohen's close friend and one of Klein's lecturers was the person who looked after Klein's matters more often.

Locus Minoris Resistentiae
So I have this WIP fic for Azik and Klein that I don't think I'm ever going to finish and thought it'd be better to post the two snippets I do have here on Tumblr :p.
I haven't really canon-checked it like I do with my posted fics, feel free to leave concrit.

Summary:
Sia Palenque Eggers is devoted to the cause. Which is why, no matter how confused "She" is, "She" won’t ask about the man who appears around Death Consul Azik. "She" definitely won’t ask why the Death Consul behaves so– so warmly around him.
(or: the AU where Azik fuses with the other half of his soul after all, Klein is his anchor to humanity and the Numinous Episcopate has no clue what’s going on.)
i.
If one thought back, the first sign of oddity was probably the letter.
Sia remembered it with crystal clarity.
It had been two weeks since Death Consul Azik Eggers had returned. There had been rumours of "His" appearance in the high seas a few months before that, alongside a crazy adventurer, and it was followed by events like the calming of the Berserk Sea and the breakdown of the Artificial Death project, but nothing had come of it.
Then one day, the Death Consul had returned to the Southern Continent.
Even if “He” was a Sequence 2, making “Him” technically on the same level as Sia, “He” was the direct descendant of Death. “He” was the figure around whom the remains of the Balam Empire would rally without question.
Sia didn’t even need to think about giving up “Her” position as the head of the royal family faction. As a mark of “Her” devotion, “She” had even – if somewhat reluctantly, no one else needed to know – handed over the Grade 1 Sealed Artifact in “Her” possession. The Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic it held would no doubt serve better in the hands of the Consul.
“He” had called for a meeting with the other descendants of their family, to discuss what "He" had missed in “His” millenia away.
They were halfway through their reports when there was a change in the air. Being members of the Death pathway, they had a spiritual intuition even before a fountain of bones had sprung from the ground next to the Consul and arranged itself into the form of a four-metre tall skeleton.
It respectfully knelt and handed over a folded piece of paper.
The Consul took it and, without giving a look to the rest of them, "He" started reading it.
Sia couldn’t see the contents nor would “She” dare to peek, but “She” could clearly see the Consul’s face. The cold emotionless stare flickered with a change that was too subtle to be grasped.
Then “He” took a fountain pen and spare paper, penned down a short note of “His” own–pausing after a few lines with that same flicker of expression again–and handed it over to the messenger who promptly vanished.
None of them asked any questions. The Consul gave no answers.
-
ii.
While that may have been the first sign, the next was undoubtedly the most notable.
Sia knocked on the office door, having a report to make on the handful of rogue factions that still refused to yield to them.
There was a silence that stretched for a dozen seconds before the Consul’s clear voice rang with, “Enter”.
“She” stepped in.
The first thing “She” noticed was that the room was dark. One would imagine that to be the aesthetic of an inverted mausoleum, but they actually had gas lamps in almost all the rooms, and the Consul’s office was no exception. In fact, it probably had a few more than the rest.
The second thing was probably what “She” should have noticed first, but one could forgive "Her" for completely skipping it, because there was no way “She” was actually seeing someone curled up on the couch, right?
“She” opened "Her" mouth on instinct, then forced it shut, instead shifting "Her" gaze to the Consul in wariness of causing offense. “He” had already caught what "She" was looking at – it was impossible not to.
Before “He” could say anything though, the person on the couch sat up and asked with the barest traces of sleepiness, “Mr. Azik?”
Sia startled. Mr. Azik? Who did he think he was talking to, his friend? Did he want to be turned into a corpse? "She" awaited how the Consul would deal with such insolence.
…except “He” didn’t bat an eye at it. In fact, “He”...
Sia wasn’t sure “She” could trust “Her” own eyes. If “She” didn’t know better… the Consul was smiling? It was like watching snow melt under a beam of sunlight or, to be more accurate to the person, a corpse rot under the sudden influence of heat. The Consul was a being only a step below Death. "He" didn’t smile.
“It’s been almost three hours. Have the negative effects dissipated?” “He” asked.
The man nodded. “The effects last just two, actually. I should get going. Thank you for letting me stay.”
The Consul shook "His" head… fondly? “It's nothing. I’ll temporarily lift the protections against the spirit world here.”
The man nodded, then pulled at the air, retrieving a skin-like glove. He wore it and vanished.
Sia was half-tempted to hurt “Herself” and check if “She” had just experienced a dream or an illusion.
“She” didn’t, because the Consul turned “His” gaze on “Her”, back to its usual dispassionate state. “He” lit the lamp on “His” table and asked, “What do you have to say?”
“She” forced herself to put aside all thoughts of what "She" had just seen.

I was trying to work on my description but it ended up being a post-canon snippet about Azik and Klein that I don't think I can fit in any of my fics :p, so I'll just leave it here:
-
The surroundings were dark and bright, heavy with grey smokey wisps yet light, zigzag lines creating abstract shapes all around. Even these jumbled descriptions could barely do justice to the true vision of the place, a mishmash of a separate dimension untethered to the world or to any of its realms.
At the centre of the space was a figure, almost as much smoke as solid. Traces of gold peeked out from under his dark hood and the underside of his cloak, the only colour anywhere. His face was translucent, blurred, facial features mangled like a jigsaw puzzle wrongly put together. Around him the smoke yet not smoke wasn't still like everywhere else, but flowed frantically, thrashed about by something.
Everything was strange and new, but Azik knew.
Without doubt, he knew.
He approached the figure, fighting against the growing chilling pressure that was pressing down on him, like weights being placed on his shoulders. His jaw clenched from the effort, but he didn't pause.
He approached until he was at the boundary of the moving fog, catching glimpses of patterned appendages within it. He did not look too close; the more he looked, the more he would understand and the more he would suffer for it.
Even this close, the figure was blurred. His stance changed though, as if he had finally noticed Azik.
"Klein," he spoke gently, as if this wasn't some unknown put-together world, as if they were still back in the university and his best student had a doubt he was refraining from asking, as if they had met up after a series of letters.
Out-of-control Beyonders were dangerous. Whether ally or enemy, they would lash out with wild abandon. But Klein was not hostile. Even now, he only watched on with detachment and a complete lack of malice.
"I'll be sleeping for a very long time..."
"Klein," he repeated, taking another few steps forward.
The appendages near Azik brushed against him then stilled, pulling back and curling around the main body.
He reached out for his student, not sure what he was going to do but knowing he had to awaken the other somehow anyhow–
–Klein's eyes, void-black, locked onto his, the slightest spark–
–a primal sound swept through the dimension, lines shattering, collapsing–
...He was back in the River of Eternal Darkness, a veneer of darkness interlaced with grey fog wavering around him, protecting him from the corrupting influence.
He came here to find what Klein had written to him about, but there was nothing he needed to do now.
The hundreds of phantoms were already vanishing, imprints of himself and Klein dissolving into the blurry waters.
