Summary
Jayce is twenty-two.
He tells himself he’ll tear himself apart if he has to, claw his way to the top, change the world someday — all it takes is trying hard enough.
All those outrageously expensive things and that shiny status will be nothing more than proof of his success.Jayce is thirty-two.
He did tear himself apart.
Somewhere along the way, though, he seems to have traded in his skin, his dreams, and that whole “change the world” thing for scrap. -

Summary
The Sabzeruz Festival repeats again and again, and Alhaitham is forced to remember every day for as long as the Akademiya feels like continuing their dream harvest. He learns something about Kaveh in the process, and maybe a little something about himself, too.
"I keep coming back to you,” He laughed, but it came out nervous. “How sad is that?”
“Sad?”
Kaveh picked at the grass below him, keeping his head down. “You don’t love me. You never will.”

Summary
Xiao is the name he was given upon his new contract with the great dragon Rex Lapis, but before that, he was Alatus, a weak adeptus twisted to the whim of the God of Dreams. The blood on his hands and karmic debt on his shoulders corrupt his Heart and drive him toward death, until he happens across an otherworldly light stumbling through a lonely valley.
Aether has visited and fled more worlds than he can count, careful never to get attached, but this is the first time he's truly been trapped on any one of them, stripped of his power and split from his sister. He is certain he will starve and fade, chained by his immortality to a life of unending agony, unable to even put himself to rest— until he meets a lost and achingly gentle adeptus who brings him new hope.
It will be a long time before either of them learn how to receive the love they are given.
