    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 panicked... Kind of. At the bare minimum, he felt blindsided— Mydei was purposefully being combative despite Phainon having been nothing but amicable, and now he was making it sound like Phainon was the one in the wrong.

    So he did the most logical thing he could think of in response, of course— acting before really thinking about it— and demonstrated his willingness to participate in what he'd personally perceived as a provocation from the Crown Prince—

    He undid the knot holding the tiny modesty towel in place, the pristine white fabric falling, and with it, so did Mydeimos's gaze. 

    “Oh,” Mydei answered eloquently, an odd expression crossing his face as he stared, unabashedly while Phainon, much more abashedly, allowed him to. 

    Be it through ignorance or wishful thinking, Phainon interprets Mydei's shamelessness as a direct provocation to settle the score between them, following the event of their ten-day, ten-night battle resulting in a draw.

    Summary

    “Does it .. does it– bother you at all?”

    Mydei’s expression softens. He steps back into Phainon’s space, but stays far enough for Phainon to push him back away if he so wished. He takes Phainon’s hand and presses it over where his heart lies. It rabbits under Phainon’s fingers. “If it bothered me, I wouldn’t want for you like this.”

    At this, Phainon flushes up to his ears again, warmth bleeding into his core. He feels a wetness between his legs, and whimpers softly at Mydei’s shameless admission. 

    “I want you as you are, Deliverer.”

    Phainon trembles, and pushes himself into Mydei’s open arms. His voice comes out as barely a whisper. “And I, you.”

    Summary

    So why then, in Mydeimos’ dark bedchambers lit by the warm everflame of the underworld, laid upon the wine-red sheets of his kline, is that damn bright light here?

    “Alas, I have been captured by the god of the underworld!” Phainon exclaimed in a mock, desperate tone, his light blue chiton slipping off his shoulders as he waved his rope-bound wrists, “Please lock me up and don't let me go!”

    …Mydei doesn't know where his eye twitched at. It was either from the way Phainon’s chiton slipped off and showed off his unmarred, pink-dusted pale collarbone atop a muscled body, or the fact that Phainon was here, right here, waving his wrists around like Mydeimos himself had tied him up.

    And of course, the most sensible thing to say at that time was, “HKS, get the fuck out of my bed.”

    Phainon had the gall to gasp. A very dramatic one at that. “Look, I might be your prisoner, but I do deserve some respect.”

    Summary

    “You’re in pre-heat,”

    Phainon’s world tilted.

    “What.”

    “Yes, Snowy,” Hyacine said gently, taking his fever hot hand into her cool palms. Her smile was small, reassuring. “You’re going into heat. This isn’t about the Coreflames—it’s your omega.”

    That word hit him like an old memory cracking open.

    His Omega?

     

    You heard that right — Khaslana, our dear Deliverer who thought he could shrug off thirty million cycles of trauma, and most importantly his heats, is about to face the consequences. Unfortunately, his alpha partner/source of comfort — Mydei is away on important business. So of course Phainon decides not to bother him about it... but can he really?

    Summary

    “Phainon,” he gasps, “you are not going to believe this.”

     

    “Believe wh—” He lets out a startled sound as Cicero grips him by the shoulders, staring deeply into his eyes. “The prince—the prince he’s—he’s here!”

     

    Phainon blinks. “Huh?”

     

    “The crown prince of Castrum Kremnos? Mydeimos the Undying, Son of Gorgo, Conqueror of—whatever!” He flails his hands around like a mad man. “He’s in the special lounge for esteemed guests right now and—ugh, Phainon, please take my place!”

     

    “What?” Phainon gapes.

    Struggling to keep up with piling funds and a sick mother, Phainon — a farmer’s son — seeks an education and becomes an apothecary in a famed brothel house. Tending to the wheat fields, taking care of the escorts, and serving drinks because he might as well! So far, his life has been completely normal.

     

    That is, until the Crown Prince of Castrum Kremnos mistakes him for a courtesan.

     

    (Alternatively, a newly debuted Mydeimos is dragged down to a brothel house to cause a scandal and scare off potential brides. He ends up entering into a fake courting with a bewitching courtesan.)

    Summary

    Mydeimos, an immortal demigod whose revivals usually follow a regular routine; die, wait for resurrection at the River of Souls before waking up at the Twilight Courtyard to where Hyacine does a check up;  has finally met a dilemma. 

     

    “Mydeimos–” 

     

    Phainon and Hyacine stare in disbelief at Mydemios… or the Mydeimos(s)? 

     

    Five Mydeimos(s)… Yes, Phainon has officially gone crazy.

     

    Hyacine hurriedly grabs her teleslate, frantically typing onto her keypad. “I’ll contact Professor Anaxa!” 

     

    Whereas Mydeimos’ divinity gets shattered into five pieces after a battle with the black tide. Each piece represents Nikador's soul-ceremony, Reason, Sacrifice, Tenacity, Honor, and Courage. 

     

    And there’s only one way to piece him back to whole..

     

    To satisfy all the Mydeimos(s)!

     

     

    Or, 

     

    Phainon goes through at least one round with every vessel of Nikador to piece Mydeimos back together!

    Summary

    “Again.” He poked one fang now, slowly running the soft pad of his index finger over it, enjoying the irritated look on Mydei’s face, the way his brows were wrinkling in concentration. “Slowly.”

    “If you want to keep your fingers in my mouth so badly, just ask next time.”

    Phainon wrenched his hand away at an impressive speed, eyes wide, ears ringing. “What?”

    Mydei did not break eye contact, leveling his gaze at Phainon until Phainon looked away. He pretended his ears did not burn at the quiet laughter that followed. “You are possibly the least subtle person I have met, Deliverer.”

    OR: Phainon baits a lion. He doesn’t count on how much the lion likes to bite.

    His mouth opens, and before he can stop himself he blurts, “I want you.”

    The words hang between them, echoing off the walls.

    For the first time during their conversation, Mydei can see Khaslana falter. His golden eyes widen and his mouth parts before closing again, his response caught in his throat.

    OR, Mydei goes to a creepy place on a dare, makes a wish and hooks up with the entity that lives there.

    Summary

    “Mydei,” he murmurs, simply because he can’t help it - he’s so close, so bare, eyes closed and spine unguarded. Phainon’s the only one who can see him like this, the only one he trusts to bare his back to - despite falling to his sword, cycle after cycle. He’s unconditionally placed this vulnerability in Phainon’s hands, and Phainon feels weak with the intimacy of it.

    He finds himself leaning in, down, brushing his lips against the spot he’s so cruelly pierced countless times before. He feels the breath Mydei draws in surprise, the tensing of muscle under his lips.

    “Feeling sentimental?” Mydei growls, voice low. “What are you thinking about now?”

    “Nothing,” Phainon says, too-casual, too obvious. So he amends with, “I love you.”

    “You are hard.” Phainon whispers, swallows.

    “I told you,” Mydei grits out, also in a whisper, pressing his forehead to Phainon’s shoulder. From the corner of his eye, he can see his ears are red. The train shakes, pressing Phainon further into Mydei's erection. “To stay still.”

    Accidentally falling onto a stranger's lap on the nine o'clock train is a fantastic way to come to a few thousand realizations about yourself.

    Long has the honor of Kremnos fallen. Upon the news that the Crown Prince lives, in yet another fit of cowardice, King Eurypon hires an assassin on the eve of his son’s 25th birthday to take care of him. He should have known, however, that the only person foolish enough to accept the job would have also been foolish enough to fall in love.

    It wouldn’t have been a problem—if only the Undying Prince hadn’t fallen in love too.

    They would stare at one another for a few more minutes before Phainon would, with great reluctance, get off of Mydei and extend a hand for him to grab.

    To his delight, the king takes it and holds onto it for a few seconds before letting go.

    He already misses having the warmth of Mydei’s hand.

    Something inside him, what’s left that’s untouched, broke as more and more of his old comrades followed suit. Not even his burning core could warm the cold seeping into his entire soul as his world comes crashing down on him.

    He saved the planet but lost his home for a second time.

    His vision tilts and Phainon swallows down the bile in his throat.
