Summary
Abandoning trying to decide between two flavors of energy drinks, he made his way around the front counter and into the back room, where a trio of bangboo were surrounding a small Thiren child that couldn't have been older than two. Child was a generous word for it- at that age, you could reasonably call it a baby. It was basically a baby. That's right, there was a baby on the floor.
(wise voice) i just think we should wait until we're more settled before trying for a child
(lighter voice) absolutely correct babeWhile waiting to be 'more settled', Lighter finds a baby on a gas station floor. Wise has....feelings about this. Feelings that end up manifesting in certain, physical ways.

Summary
"Lighter," Wise coos.
"....yes, darlin'?" Lighter sounds visibly pained.
"Let's get hotpot delivered instead."
"....sweetheart, please."
"......we can order groceries? I think I have an app for that."
Lighter groans, leaning back against the bathroom counter.
"Fine. Fine. But I'm orderin' before you get me all distracted."
"It's a deal."
Romantic bliss, and a snapshot of what comes after I Owe It All To You.

Summary
A gasp, and another whine. Sounds sweeter than sugar to Lighter's ears. More shuffling, until the omega's scent is suddenly in full force- present, and fresh, and saints' above, his omega is near. So, so close.
"Please, precious, I promise I'll treat ya right," He tries, "'m- dunno if I'm the best alpha you could get, but gods above, if you come out, I'll cherish ya always, forever, I swear-"
But before he can finish, he's got an armful of his sweetheart, his omega, his angel. The precious thing catapulted himself from the vent straight into his arms.
Wise and Lighter participate in a mating run, with absolutely zero intent of finding a mate. As expected, fate has other plans.

Summary
Alarm overtook Kaveh’s expression as he looked back and forth between Alhaitham and the matra, dropping his sketchpad and leaping to his feet. “Why is there a guard here? Did you get hurt?”
“Some idiot decided poisoning me to obtain state secrets would be an optimal use of a Tuesday morning,” Alhaitham replied with a deep sigh.
Kaveh’s hands hovered uselessly in the air for a few moments as he stared at Alhaitham. “I’m sorry, what?”
Leaning back against the wall, Alhaitham let out a weary exhale. “Truth serum,” he said tiredly, raking his fingers through his hair then dropping his hand down to rub his throat. “I can’t lie.”
Kaveh’s eyes widened. “Oh my gods. Are you - are you okay?” Hurrying forward, Kaveh - with his blessedly fully covered legs - guided Alhaitham onto the divan, hands steady despite the panic in his voice.
“I don’t know. I’m just glad you’re wearing pants,” was all Alhaitham managed to answer.

Summary
“Make your point,” the demigod cuts, impatience bleeding through his voice.
Again, Phainon thinks of the appreciative smiles Mydei freely gives the other Heirs, or his people, or the travelers beyond the sky; how he himself mostly gets frowned eyebrows and teasing smirks.
He’s not jealous, no. He just- Okay. Maybe he’s a little jealous. So he says, stupidly, because Mydei would never indulge now, battle-worn and still running high on adrenaline:
“I merely believe a 'Thank you' is in order.”
Mydeimos stares like Phainon has just grown a second head.
----There's something Phainon wants. Mydei gives it to him.

Summary
“…so,” Mydei muttered, gesturing vaguely, “how is this even supposed to work? Where is anything supposed to— like, where does anything go.”
Cipher blinked at him.
“In Phainon’s mouth, obviously,” she said, way too casually, “you’re just overthinking. ”
Phainon is late on Valentine’s Day, stuck at work and drowning in guilt. He walks through the door expecting a quiet evening but, instead, he finds Mydei at the stove wearing nothing but an apron, hiding a set of lingerie underneath.

Summary
“Friday night,” Khaslana starts. “Era Chrysea building, top floor. You’ll be Nikador, one of my foreign, esteemed contractors, and we’ll have a nice little chat, you and I. How does that sound?”
Like a stupid plan. Like a trap. Years in the field have sharpened Mydei's instincts like a blade. There’s something more to this, a secret he can’t quite find yet hiding in Khaslana’s obvious smile, in the strangely casual pitch of his voice.
“I’ll be there,” he says.
“Great,” Khaslana replies. When he’s satisfied, his voice turns into melting honey. Mydei imagines himself melted by it, glued to the Okheman concrete. “I can’t wait to finally meet you.”
----
Phainon is tricked into being Khaslana's doppelganger for an entire week. Mydei is tricked into meeting Phainon, and accepts to protect him during said week. What's the worst that could happen?

Summary
“As if I have any eye for art,” Mydei replies.
Castorice rolls her eyes. “As if plating isn’t just sculpture with food.”
He opens his mouth to fire back a snide rejoinder, realizes she’s right, and holds his tongue instead. She’s doing him a favor, forcing him out of his house, one of his only friends who’s stuck with him over the past year of tremendous, never-ending grief. No one knows how to deal with a widower’s pain and loss. No one wants to. But Castorice has faced even more death than he has, and she hasn’t let him pull away from the world despite his attempts.
After the unexpected death of his partner, Khaslana, about a year ago, Mydei meets photographer Phainon at a gallery exhibition he's forced to attend by his friend, Castorice. Unexpected sparks fly between them as they grow closer through Phainon's photography.
