    Summary

    Alhaitham has recently come to realize three things:

    1. He is in love with Kaveh.
    2. He would like to kiss Kaveh, hold Kaveh’s hand, go on dates with Kaveh, and become boyfriends with Kaveh.
    3. He has absolutely no idea how to go about doing any of that.

    Having nobody to confide in, he resorts to writing to Sumeru’s most popular advice column, The Wanderer’s Advice, for help. Before long, seemingly everyone in Sumeru City gets swept up in the story of Ardent Admirer and their clueless beloved.

    Everyone except Kaveh, for better or for worse.

    Summary

    There were two things everyone on campus knew.
    One: the cafeteria’s iced chocolate tasted best on Thursdays.
    Two: Phainon and Mydei were not dating.
    Except they absolutely were — if you asked literally anyone but Phainon and Mydei themselves.

    Summary

    When Phainon finally moved to Castrum Kremnos—the city he’d daydreamed about since childhood—he expected many things: difficult dialects, lovely cuisine, and locals built like war gods. He did not expect to flirt with a man he assumed was a priest.

    “So… I read Nikador’s scriptures once. Very inspiring. Huge fan.”

    Finger guns.

    Pew pew.

    A silence worthy of a sacred text.

    Unfortunately, that “priest” happened to be the Crown Prince.

    Even more unfortunately, the Crown Prince thought he was cute.

    Summary

    Phainon closes his eyes and pictures the Blade of Fury in his mind, gold and bronze and flame, cast against the night sky like a meteor stalled in time.

    “…Mydeimos. I need your help.”

    He opens his eyes. For a moment, there is nothing, only the cold wind and the encroaching sound of death.

    But only for a moment.

    From the west, a divine light blooms, casting the billowing clouds a deep, bloody red.

    Phainon sucks in a sharp breath.

    Phainon has been reluctant to call upon Mydei since he'd left Okhema. It would be selfish, Phainon tells himself. When circumstance forces him to call out the name of his new god, Phainon is reminded of what he misses so dearly, but also of what he has gained.

    Summary

    The memory of his loss clung to Phainon like a stubborn heat–and not the kind he was used to.

    The last duel had ended quite embarrassingly for him. The heat had wrung him dry, left him barely conscious, limbs too weak to move. The last thing he remembered before everything went dark was strong arms catching him before he collapsed completely. When he awoke, it was Mydei who was carrying him out, setting him down with the same unimpressed expression he always wore.

    That wouldn’t do.

    --

    Phainon challenges Mydei to a rematch of their previous hot bath challenge. Things get tense.
