Summary
Phainon is unusually quiet as they stand in front of the vegetable stall in Marmoreal Market, studying the colorful array of vegetables in front of them as if he’s deep in thought.
Mydei had been about to turn and ask Phainon’s opinion on dinner, but he lets the question dissolve in his mouth. Instead, he watches Phainon’s bright blue eyes narrow ever so slightly as he stares down at the brown lentils and carrots and tomatoes, and when his gaze drifts over the onions and celery and heads of garlic and back to the lentils, it doesn’t seem like he’s looking at them at all. It’s as if he’s looking at something far away, something just out of reach; something that makes his expression turn wistful and melancholy.

Summary
“Did you calculate properly?” Mydei asks, standing gracefully and rounding the table to sit on the sofa next to Phainon. Even the subtle dip of the cushions beneath him is enough to make Phainon’s breath hitch. When he speaks, Mydei’s voice is gentle and unhurried. “Or are you just taking my word for it?”
Phainon laughs - Mydei fudging the numbers for a win is the last thing he would suspect, right now at least - and then cuts himself off with a groan at the movement. He has to hold himself still for another long moment, breath coming heavy and heart racing from the flash of urgency thrumming through him.
When it fades back to something manageable, Phainon blinks away the blur of unshed tears and looks back at Mydei. He is watching Phainon with that same intensity - golden gaze burning as he takes in Phainon’s state, reads him like an open book, and asks for more of him because he knows Phainon can give it to him. Something hungry and knowing and affectionate all at once.

Summary
Phainon waits patiently, despite his instincts screaming at him to thrust in again, to claim the alpha beneath him, to prove who’s the stronger between them. He won’t take what he isn’t offered, even if he wants so, so badly. He always wants Mydei, in whatever capacity Mydei will allow him.
“Make me submit, whatever it takes,” Mydei says, finally. He turns his head so that his face is buried in the pillow and Phainon can’t see his face, but he can see the way his ears and neck are flushed as he speaks, words echoing Phainon's desire in plain, earnest affection: “All I want is you.”

Summary
The Flame Reaver makes a noise that almost sounds like a growl, but Phainon now knows it’s not of aggression - its anguish, a sound of effort as he tries to keep himself from unraveling long enough to pass the Coreflames and memories of countless cycles to Phainon.
“Be still,” the Flame Reaver says, and Phainon tries. No other cycle has fractured this way, where the process of transferring from one vessel to the next took more than a simple touch. In no other cycle has the Flame Reaver reached out towards Phainon and failed to grant him all that power in a single gesture. Instead, he was left cupping Phainon’s face with cold metal gauntlets as the world began to crumble and erode around them.

Summary
Misyr is only gone for a handful of hours at a time. Kotone knows that unless he absolutely has to be anywhere else, he is here, with her, because he knows the loneliness of the ashen planet. He’s lived centuries upon centuries of it before they even met, thousands of years plagued by pain and solitude, and he doesn’t want that for her now that he’s human and she’s become something else.
That, and he loves her. Just as she loves him.

Summary
He sees it in Kurusu’s posture now, tense like a piano wire.
Calm and collected. Upset but not angry.
For all his posturing, Kurusu’s never been anything but just a kid, covered in mud and knowing there’s a difference between ethically and technically right and having a preference on which one to adhere to.
Zenkichi sighs.
“Kid, what would your friends have thought if they woke up and they realised you were missing?”

Summary
"Wait," Stelle is unable to stop herself from calling out. "I know what this is, actually."
"Oh, really?" Rather than be disappointed that his discovery is not unique, Phainon doesn't look deterred in the slightest.
Gravely, she lifts her gaze to the bright pools of blue in front of her.
"Phainon, that is a sex toy."
It's a tale as old as time: one yearning guy with the weight of the world on his shoulders unwittingly comes into possession of an enchanted sex toy which is connected to the object of said yearning, and repressed horny desires are unleashed.
Hm, it's not a classic story? Okay, Phainon will explain.

Summary
There was an intimacy between them now which arose from being two people who lived together and had the same unfamiliar set of instincts. It was embarrassing that apparently the natural thing to do in the morning, according to Eragon’s half-asleep mind, was to press his face against Murtagh’s neck and nuzzle him there. But Murtagh had taken to doing the same thing back, and it made Eragon’s mind light up with a sense of closeness that he had dearly missed and which he felt robbed of developing naturally, after an entire lifetime spent apart.
The territoriality, though, was becoming a bigger problem.

Summary
There was no comfort to be found in this fear, except perhaps the knowledge he could still feel it. It was a cold fear, freezing him in place as he attempted to fight his rogue hand, only to be overpowered for it to wrap around his neck and squeeze tightly. He wheezed around it, struggling to pull it off as he tried to force his other hand to move only for it to be wrested by his side, pinned behind his back.
It feels like an eternity he’s trapped powerlessly within his own body. His hand around his throat constricts more until his struggling calms, his eyes rolling into the back of his head. Only then does the hand release him. Phainon inhales on a wheeze, coughing and gasping for breath, even though there is none.
Irontomb takes control of Phainon's body. Phainon refuses to go down without a fight.
