    Summary

    Caelus starts noticing that Dan Heng has become strange around him in a way that goes beyond his usual quiet protectiveness. He is always there, always watching, always tense whenever Caelus slips out of sight. What begins as confusion turns into something much more dangerous and much more tender when Dan Heng is finally forced to admit the truth. His Vidyadhara instincts have fixated on Caelus. Protective, possessive, deeply territorial, and humiliatingly affectionate, they keep driving him to gather pieces of Caelus close and build a hidden nest around the one thing his dragon mind has decided is most precious.

    Caelus should probably be alarmed. Instead, he is fascinated. As Dan Heng’s control begins to fray, Caelus finds himself drawn deeper into the parts of him that are usually hidden away. Horns, scales, ancient instincts, quiet yearning, and all the soft terrifying want Dan Heng does not know how to ask for.

    Or Dan Heng’s dragon instincts decide Caelus is his treasure, and Caelus reacts to that information with far less self-preservation than he probably should.

    Summary

    Dr. Veritas Ratio has always believed that knowledge is the only reliable defense against chaos. Caelus, unfortunately, is chaos made flesh.

    Ratio boards the Astral Express with the explicit intention of correcting that. He expects resistance. Ignorance. Emotional interference. He expects inefficiency because inefficiency is the natural state of most people. He does not expect Caelus to listen or to understand.

    He does not expect himself to notice the quiet ways Caelus belongs to the Astral Express, or the quieter ways Caelus begins, slowly and unintentionally, to belong somewhere Ratio cannot follow.

    He does not expect himself to care. He certainly does not expect to stay.

    But some variables refuse to remain theoretical.

    And some mistakes cannot be corrected once they have already begun.

    Summary

    They arrived as anomalies.

    Amphoreus has temples, Titans, refugees, and exactly one opinion about Caelus the moment he opens his mouth and breathes. The Chrysos Heirs connect the dots incorrectly and refuse to un-connect them.

    The problem isn’t that Amphoreus has weird dynamics. The problem is that Caelus and Dan Heng don’t know that, and everyone else is very confident they do.

     

    Featuring: incorrect assumptions, unwanted attention, Phainon thinking too hard, Mydei thinking not enough, and Caelus, who absolutely did not sign up for this, while Dan Heng notes everything down furiously for the archives.
