    Summary

    Phainon's skin has turned ashen, much like the dull grey of a weathered marble statue. Fractures split across his face, unusual cracks spidering outwards like shattered porcelain. An otherworldly, galactic glow bleeds through the fissures beneath the wounds, spilling most vividly along his cheek and his left eye, and the largest wound near his head burns a violet fire that flickers and pulses dimly.

    “Deliverer,” Mydei says carefully, but Phainon flinches as if Mydei had just said something vile to him instead. “This is what you meant by waiting until it goes back to normal?”

    An unexpected mishap reverts Phainon's form into that of the Flame Reaver. It's Mydei's job to show the prisoner of flames that he is still very much loved.

    Summary

    For most of his life, the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos never had the freedom to make his own choices.

    Even before Mydeimos could understand what a choice was, it had been taken from him.

    Until he met Phainon.

    Summary

    Carefully, Mydei reaches towards the chalice.

    As his gauntleted hand gets closer to it, the thicker the air feels, and it’s almost like he’s reaching underwater when he finally grasps the stem of the chalice. As he raises it towards himself, he thinks he can hear the faint sound of merrymaking, or perhaps the steady lapping of waves against the shore.

    When Mydei presses the edge of the chalice to his lips, his eyes meet Phainon’s. There is clear worry writ across Phainon’s face, but once he sees Mydei looking at him, that worry is tucked away behind a veil of determination. Very slowly, Phainon nods, as if to say that he’s ready to handle whatever might happen to him.

    And so Mydei begins to drink.

    Summary

    Phainon stares down at Mydei, fast asleep beside him in their shared bed, the dim light of the Entry Hour filtering through the curtains and brightening the edges of him in a warm glow. Like this, fast asleep, there is a sense of peace in his expression. A lightness that Phainon rarely sees when Mydei is awake, a freedom from the burden of responsibility and duty. His breathing comes out as soft, warm puffs of breath against the pillow, the only sign of wakefulness a discontented murmur when Phainon had extracted himself from Mydei’s embrace with great difficulty; it’s the siren’s call of sleep and the safety of Mydei’s arms, head to his chest and hearing his strong heartbeat beneath Phainon’s head, that tempts him to retreat back under the covers, but when he remembers what they agreed on, a flash of arousal chases away the haze of sleep.
