    Summary

    “How convenient,” Mydei said and Phainon realised his mistake, that Mydei hadn’t relinquished his grip but merely slackened it, when another, softer tug at his coat rocked him back onto his heels. “Aglaea really thinks of everything.”

    “What—“ Phainon laughed but it was too high and thin, flustered, so he cleared his throat to steady himself even as his cheeks burned. “What is this about?”

    “These,” Mydei answered, most unhelpfully, with another sharp pull that tightened the fabric of Phainon’s coat around his stomach and waist. His breath stuttered in his chest for another reason entirely. “The handholds. You have a metal ring. And a matching one on the other side.”

    Phainon learns of a unique feature on his coat in the worst possible way: he has an… inappropriate reaction in the middle of Marmoreal Marketplace when Mydei tugs a bit too hard.

    Neither of them have a problem with this.

    Summary

    "You would need to pay for your drinks in order for you to be a customer," Mydei responds, "And pets aren't allowed at the bar." Distantly, he can't help but feel that this 'pet' bit is going a little too far, but…

    "Are they allowed in your bed?" The question comes before he can think twice. He flusters from his own words, squirming in his seat when greeted with Mydei's pointed silence. Phainon's lips open and close, hands balling into fists, "Sorry, that was—"

    "If they're well behaved," Mydei interrupts, propping his elbow up on the bar, mirroring his pose, chin propped on his hand, "Are you?"

    Phainon is, he thinks, eyes tracing the arch of his brow, the curved bridge of his strong nose and plush, pink lips. He could be so well behaved.

    After a messy breakup, Phainon seeks out a change of pace. He might not be one of Mydei's regulars, but he wouldn't mind being something a little more.

    Summary

    Phainon’s soulmark appeared when he was a young boy in Aedes Elysiae. It was supposed to tell him the name of his soulmate, but it was written in an alphabet he had never seen before. He delighted in the idea of a soulmate from a faraway land.

    Of course, life didn’t turn out as he’d planned. By the time he arrived in Okhema, love was the last thing on his mind. He'd never learned how to read the mark, and at this point, he'd resolved he never would. He'd dedicated his life to the Flame Chase.

    Once he met Mydei, he felt a connection he had never experienced with anyone. Surely, if he had a soulmate, it had to be him. They started spending more time together, growing closer, until Mydei informed him - he had a soulmate, but it wasn't Phainon.

    (Or was it?)

    Summary

    Neikos lived his whole life with not a lot of luck by his side.

    His body hates him, his life hates him, and he hates himself. It's as simple as that.

    Maybe that's why the universe decided to give him a bit of mercy and brought the Chrysos Heirs into his life to help him survive.

    He's just confused. Why are they so nice to him? Why do they want to help him? Why do they get sad seeing his face alone?

    And why, just why, does the Undying King himself, a man that owns several different libraries, despite being the Demigod of Strife, look so damn hot?

    -----

    or; After 522 years passed, Phainon reincarnated into a man called Neikos. He's at the ripe age of 26, working two minimum wage jobs with a six-year-old daughter, trying not to collapse while suffering through chronic pain with unknown origins that ravages through his body.

    It's hell for Neikos, with the exception of his daughter, of course. But, maybe his life will get better when the protectors and Demigods of Amphoreus, the Chrysos Heirs themselves, come into his life, greeting him with completely open arms, carrying a past that he slowly discovers for himself through dreams and memories alike.

    Summary

    The Black Tide is gone. The world is remade. And Phainon the Deliverer, the man who fulfilled prophecy, doesn’t know what to do with himself.

    Mydei, who has always seen him too clearly, drags him back to the ruins of Aedes Elysiae and says “We’re rebuilding this. Together.”

    (Or: how two men who fought side-by-side to save the world learn what they were fighting for.)
