Description:
“Ah, but I do fear that the new Sages won’t be nearly as indulgent of my whims and of my curiosity than you’ve been, my Grand Scribe,” she had said as the ink was drying on her acceptance of his resignation. “Yours is a mind that I am quite fond of.”
“I’m resigning. I’m not dying,” Al-Haitham pointed out to her.
“But you’ll be so far away,” Lord Kusanali affected a pout that did but mostly did not fit her face. Something about living through five hundred years of isolation and escapism only through dreams while your presence in the world is being erased one letter a time will do that to a person, no matter how youthful the visage.
“I find that hard to believe from a god with powers over the mind. Nothing travels and crosses a distance faster than a thought,” Al-Haitham replied. “And when my office is only a few floors below yours and this one.”
“Is that permission?”
“Who am I to give permission to gods and lords?”

Aka the fic where Al-Haitham quits being the Acting Grand Sage, but the Sages don't quit him.
