- Henry does street racing as a teen where he meets Sam and Hans (his rival) both of whom go on to race professionally

- Henry on the other hand ultimately settle down working at his parents mechanic shop to keep the place afloat.

- the shop burns down and its István's fault. So Sam recommends Henry for a job as an engineer.

- Hans is struggling in the high pressure environment of racing but is comforted bc now he has Henry who truly understands him and his desire to go back to when they could race freely.

- István crashes into Hans at a race breaking his hand. Hanush, knowing Henry has experience makes him fill in for Hans.

- Hans gets peeved because he thinks Henry is doing better than he did. They fight.

- they reconsile by taking down István together and growing into their own driving styles etc etc and they fall in love doing so.

que the sitcom that can be their co-habitation when they move into the new town around the same time and become roommates.

Kaveh at some point would definitely go "hm how much of magic can I do before he notices" and eventually it seems that the whole town knows of him being a witch before Alhaitham does

[at the same time I want there to be a very silly reason for why Alhaitham is with inquisition, like he actively tries to disprove their theories and provides zero support and joined the organization like to steal their records or something but it just so happens that he is indeed the best librarian/record keeper/scribe? they ever got so the organization absolutely does not allow him to leave and he's just stuck. something ridiculous like that.

at the same time there is another idea that sits in my brain when Alhaitham is not a sceptic and just. hates Inquisition to the point that he just blatantly sabotages and stalls their work from the inside while knowing day one Kaveh is a witch [but once again, he's just so valuable as an individual they do not let him go]. The more Kaveh later tries to prove to him that "yep, magic exists, look, I can do magic" the more sceptical Alhaitham acts just to mess around with his roommate because he finds him fun and wants him to be safe, so he hopes if he pays no attention to his shenanigans the Inquisition will not get to him.]

The modern au is split into two because the first part is specifically for my modern au fic, the initials represent who's perspective I see the song from.
