    Summary

    When the Gods fell millennia ago, Phainon had fallen with them.

    Now he is the last. A remnant of times long ago, a fragment of divinity cast to the mortal world and tied to the great God-Kings of Sak-Kahn-Ko. He is theirs to do as they please; to serve each father and son and son of his son, unageing, undying, unchanging. He does not see the sun rise each day. He does not see it set.

    Come a springtime he can only hear in the sigh of the wind, the God-King he serves has guests to visit. Many guests, from all corners of the mapped world, there to pledge allegiance to Sak-Kahn-Ko, to bow to the one great enough to own a God.

    But one guest is strange. He does not look to Phainon’s humiliation with glee or envy or pride. He does not look at all.

    Mydeimos of Castrum Kremnos looks, instead, to the God-King he must bow to; and he looks with anger, at the one who owns the divine. He looks with rage.

    Summary

    "I am the new emperor of Castrum Kremnos, and I have all the glory of my empire as well as the wealth and adoration that come with it. What could you possibly bring that would please me more than to see you punished for your insolence?"

    He hears Krateros pulling a spear behind him, the iron clanging like a call for terror. Either Phainon gives him a satisfying answer, or Krateros will run him through the ground and he won't see the light of day ever again.

    Well, good thing Mydeimos is worth the trouble. "Then I'll be happy to announce that I, Phainon of Aedes Elysiae, has come to you tonight, Emperor Mydeimos of Castrum Kremnos, to witness you in person and ask for your hand in marriage."

    after meeting the alpha emperor mydeimos of castrum kremnos during one of his nightwatches, beta sellsword phainon deceives the empire with a riddle that rewards him with the emperor as his newly-wedded wife. in order to secure their marriage and grant mydeimos's secret wish, phainon undergoes body modification that transforms him from a beta to an enigma in order to turn mydeimos into an omega so he can impregnate him with his pups.

    Summary

    It was a cultural miscommunication. The product of a cultural difference. Phainon was certain of it. After all, Phainon had hardly been aware of the implications when he first arrived in Okhema. It wasn’t until he attended a class on Okheman theatre at the Grove and they were halfway through analysing a play script from Era Bellica that he was exposed to the symbolism for the first time. 

    The girl next to him had taken pity and timidly whispered the answer to his question. 

    Throwing apples was a ploy at seduction.

    By the way Mydei happily crunched at the apple perfectly matched to the one he had thrown with every intention for Phainon to catch, and the lack of scandalised attention from the surrounding Kremnoans, tossing apples clearly did not carry the same meaning in Kremnos as it did in Okhema.

    A cultural difference over apples leads to some self-inflicted torture on Phainon’s behalf. After all, if Mydei is ignorant to the symbolism then there’s no harm to Phainon indulging in a little fantasy.

    Summary

    When the merman Mydeimos saves the surface world's prince Phainon from dying at sea, he stumbles upon a conspiracy - one that aims to destroy his people. To stop it, Mydeimos will have to disguise himself as a surface dweller, infiltrate the Okheman royal palace, find the conspiracy's mysterious leader... and keep his own identity a secret from Phainon. Which would be much, much easier if Phainon wasn't so damn easy to fall for.

    Or, a Phaidei Little Mermaid AU.
