    Summary

    “Of all the Chrysos Heirs, Mydeimos is the one called the Undying. He can withstand more than all the other demigods combined, an immensity whose heights are exponentially aggravated by his immortality. It is both a curse and blessing, yet more than that, it is also rather fitting, wouldn’t you say?”

    This time she turns to face him directly, as if to gauge his reaction to her next words.

    “Your desires will not kill him, Phainon.”

    -OR-

    After ascending into godhood as the new Worldbearer, Phainon develops an urge to create life.

    Summary

    The other dancers dampen their feet and move swiftly over the coals, making only single advances on Mydei that imitate attacks before they dart back out of the fire. But Mydei remains steadfastly in place, shifting his feet in time with the weapon drills his movements imitate. A step forward, the thrust of an imaginary spear; a step back, the shimmy of his upper body, the twist of a shoulder as if dodging an arrow.

    Phainon sees these movements every day; feels them, even, put to good use against him in their duels. He knows them intimately already, and they somehow feel more charged here than ever before.

    But there are others touching Mydei in his stead tonight. Little things: The respectful brush of a hand over his shoulder as a dancer slips by. A gentle tilting of his chin to offer a sip of honeybrew, and the swipe of a hand to catch what spills. The brush of thigh against thigh as someone lunges toward him as if thrusting with a sword.

    Phainon inhales sharply at that one, something ugly and possessive burning inside of him.

    Summary

    Nevertheless, if anyone in Amphoreus ever did find themselves on the receiving end of Phainon’s actual wrath, and unless they shared Mydei’s gift of immortality, they probably wouldn’t live to see the next Entry Hour. Probably wouldn't want to either.

    Honestly, Mydei wanted to test that theory.

    Pushing Phainon's buttons becomes one of Mydei's favourite pastimes.

    Summary

    Holding the front line of the Black Tide is a war effort that only Mydei could ever accomplish as a demigod.

    For all the power, and none of the glory, it doesn’t change the loneliness that comes from the isolation. When the war starts to get into Mydei's head, he knows there's only one person who can take him out of it. Phainon knows what he needs, but each meeting draws them closer and closer to the end of the Flame Chase, and the pleasure is only temporary.

    And each time, Mydei wonders when it will be the last.

    Summary

    There was a brief pause, as if both of them were struggling to find the right words to say, until—

    "You cut your hair?"

    "You're a woman?"

    What the fuck. "What the fuck?"

    After years of being apart, Phainon realises that her cute childhood friend, Mydeimos, is not a boy, but a (really hot) woman with eyes only for her.
