    Summary

    Phainon wakes to his Phaidei account exploding with notifications, a small war in his comments section, and half the people convinced he’s running the Phaidei account, with the top reply being:

    Deliberber @phaifan33550336
    replying to @phaidei
    Dawg look at my deliverer shipping himself with Mydeimos we’re cooked

    It’s enough for him to click on his Weaver account in a frenzied panic, scroll to the settings, and click “delete”—mashing all the buttons, captchas, and “deletes” until he finally sees the “This account no longer exists” on his page.

    “Oh my god,” he mutters, heart racing. He chucks his teleslate on his bed and flops back down.

    (In which Phainon, an idol, attempts to run a fan account shipping himself with his childhood best friend, Mydeimos—another idol.)

    Summary

    They’re grown men and comrades-in-arms, for Kephale’s sake. It is their ultimate duty, before anything else, to keep their citizens happy. A little not-kiss doesn’t mean anything. A little fake wedding for the sake of some kids doesn't mean anything either. Despite what his burning ears might imply, Mydei knows this.

     

    [or, Mydei spent his entire childhood around boys his age. A glance here, a touch there, it's only natural among fellow soldiers... right? So why did it feel so different with Phainon?]

    Summary

    “Tell me what you really want, Phainon of Aedes Elysiae.”

    Khaslana whines. He is no longer Phainon and Aedes Elysiae is nothing more than a pile of ash, but for Mydei, he can pretend. So he pushes past the renewed sting of loss, ignores his guilt, ignores everything except for the great, unending ocean that is his love for Mydei. He harnesses millennia of yearning and lust, sends a nonsensical prayer to the universe for forgiveness, and gives himself over to the waves.

    Hesitation gone, Khaslana rolls on top of Mydei, hands on either side of his head and legs bracketing his hips. He pushes himself up just enough to see Mydei’s entire face.

    “Everything,” he breathes, and he swears Mydei shivers at it. “I want everything you’ll give me and more.”

    ---

    In an early cycle of the Eternal Recurrence, Khaslana indulges. Pretending to be this cycle's Phainon, he takes a risk and seeks out Mydeimos. He knows he is selfish for doing this, for needing this, but it has been so long and he misses Mydei so much. If this is all he can have, he will do what he can to have Mydei for one more night.

    Summary

    “Well,” is what Aglaea says at last. “This is certainly… a predicament.”

    Her voice is as unreadable as ever, so it could mean anything from this is manageable to this is a disaster the likes of which the Flame-Chase Journey will never recover from. As things stand, Mydei is more inclined to believe the latter.

    Beside them, Tribbie finally pops up from where she’s been studying their joined hands. “What Snowy said is true!” she proclaims in a voice far too cheerful for their current situation. “He and De are one hundred percent stuck to each other.”

    While out on patrol, Mydei and Phainon get hit with a curse that binds their hands together.
