I haven't the words to describe my love for this but I'll give it a try.
I wish this fic was a paperback that I could curl up with and read over and over. I just adore where you're going with this prompt and I love how you've written these two. Malik's frustration is almost tangible and the glimpse of how much Altair cares for his gifts made my heart ache just the tiniest bit. I actually get goosebumps when I picture the scene when(if??) he realizes who Malik really is.
Also, this? The man takes three steps to cross the room, a breath to grab Malik’s wrist, and a blink to bend it back so that Malik can feel his bones strain in protest. Made my heart stop. I was a little worried for Malik there for a second.
