    Summary

    Wreathed in a trail of burning gas and fluorescent light, a comet hangs, colossal and ethereal, like a guillotine over the people of the world. Miko lifts the can of warm coffee to her lips once more, then grimaces.

    “This tastes awful.”

     

    A story about the apocalypse, weird bucket lists, promises made, wishes fulfilled, and somewhere in the middle of it all, love.

    Summary

    "Indeed, in a world where they were fundamentally set apart both by a prophecy and by time, there were very few people who could claim they could understand Cipher. Anaxa, as inscrutable and occasionally (read: often) insufferable as he is, is one of those people."

    Or, an exploration of the latter half of the 33550337th Eternal Recurrence. In a world where Aglaea and Castorice die centuries before the conclusion of the Flame-Chase Journey, before even the births of Anaxa, Mydei, and Hyacine, the Chrysos Heirs that carry out the final sacrifices of Amphoreus are few and far in between. They form special bonds unique to the events of this Eternal Recurrence --- though in some ways, some things never change.

    Summary

    Then, when he had finally gathered the courage to get closer, the sounds of laughter had slowed him again. He quietly watched through a small hole in the wall separating him and the outside area as his friends set the table and bantered loudly with each other. Their happiness radiated off of them in waves, a balm on the persistent gloominess of their situation.

    Phainon couldn’t bring himself to ruin it.

    After the trauma of Irontomb, Phainon is under the impression that the other Chrysos Heirs need to stay away from him. After all, who would want to be near someone who had killed them in thirty-three million lifetimes?

    Summary

    “My humble apologies, Imperator,” Hysilens says, her voice rasping unpleasantly—still so unaccustomed to the human tongue. She clears her throat, pressing a hand to her chest. “To see that fish in the blackness where the sun’s rays dare not shine… it is as a star; radiant in the depths of the sea. Not unlike your blazing light, which guided me to shore.”

    Cerydra takes a long sip of her glass, only to fall silent. Golden ichor drips from the corner of her mouth, and Hysilens resists the urge to reach out, and…

    “Were you truly so allured?” Cerydra murmurs, shattering the silent moment almost off-handedly—which is strange—no action of the Imperator's is impromptu in the slightest. She is an angler, a chessmaster. She is patient, composed, and she does not err lightly.

    But Cerydra blinks as she looks to Hysilens, as if she too is struck with momentary surprise at her own tongue. Her breath is sweet, and warm against her siren’s scales. And Hysilens nods.

    “Yes,” she whispers, for none but her light to hear. “I was.”


    "Twist the knife, Helektra."

    Summary

    Last year Stelle fucked up and put her ENTIRE English class into a group chat. The lesbians were dense, aglanaxa was even denser, and someone REALLY needed to send CPS to Terravox's home.
    But of course, that’s not the end, they’ve still got senior year to go through, and while they may not have Mr Kephale anymore, that never stops the chaos. After all, there's more faculty to torture. And they’re gonna give them ALL 13 reasons for suicide.
    Round two, everyone.
