    Summary

    For the last eleven years of his life, it was a simple existence. Wake up, help his parents with chores, sit through lessons with Pythias, help tend the fields with the adults, train with his makeshift wooden sword, play in the Maze with Cyrene and the fairies, return home for dinner, and go to sleep to do it all again the next day. It was quaint, nothing flashy, nothing to write grand epics about, but it was home, and it was Phainon’s life.

    Of course, such peaceful monotony only made things that much more complicated when Phainon spotted a body floating in the water not far from the docks.

    =====

    A cycle in which Mydei washed up on the shores of Aedes Elysiae as a child.

    Summary

    It all starts from a dare. In hindsight, Mydei should have thought better of trying to outdo the Coin of Whimsy in a Truth or Dare match, but Cipher played it just right that he chucked his sense of preservation out the window. The dare is simple enough: confess to Phainon in the middle of the Marmoreal Place. Rather mortifying, but a Kremnoan is nothing if not steadfast in the face of adversity. While he’d normally be a bit worried about proceeding with courting as per Kremnoan custom, he is sure Phainon will see through the ruse and turn him down. He has absolutely nothing to worry about.

    In which two idiots engage in competitive romancing.

    Summary

    “Hugo.” Lycaon doesn’t even have the decency to sound winded, although it means the frustration is all the more obvious in his voice. He stops several paces away, further than their usual preference, obviously wary of spooking Hugo into fleeing once more. “Stop fucking running.”

    “I already stopped,” Hugo points out. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t even be able to catch my shadow.”

    Lycaon’s eyes flash with ire, but after a moment, he backs down. When he speaks again, the previous hesitance is back. “Then… can we talk?”

    “What’s there to talk about?” Hugo says. “Jack was very clear. He doesn’t trust me. And you obviously agree.”

    “I do trust you—”

    “Because your silence was so convincing.”

    Lycaon opens his mouth, but no words emerge.

    Hugo smiles. It feels overstretched on his lips, stiff and unnatural. “Like so,” he says softly, and takes a step backward.

     

    (A canon divergence story set during Hugo and Lycaon's youth, in which Hugo overhears the entire conversation between Jack and Lycaon in that small attic.

    Only this time, Lycaon realizes that Hugo was there, and that he heard everything).

    Summary

    He turns to Mydei, letting a gentle smile curve on his lips. Mydei’s eyes narrow to slits.

    “Hello there,” Phainon greets softly. He crouches down, inching closer. Mydei doesn’t budge, only tenses like a tightly coiled spring. “My name is Phainon. You’re Mydeimos, right?”

    Mydei doesn’t respond, lips pressed tightly shut. Phainon’s smile wavers, chest squeezing tight.

    “No one’s going to hurt you here,” he murmurs, extending his arm out. Mydei growls. Fear flashes through his eyes for a fleeting second, but it’s enough to have Phainon freezing in place, breath catching in his throat.

    (A mishap at the Abyss of Fate leaves Mydei a child whose only memories are of the Sea of Souls.)

    Summary

    He knew they'd lose eventually. They couldn't live forever, he knew that well. He just, thought they'd have more time. Is all.

    That is, until the Divine interrupts when all seems lost, and Dante is given a choice.

    Or, Dante steals Vergil's script, and things turn out both better and much, much worse.
