    Summary

    Mydei sets the basket down by the bed, noticing his mother jolt at the sound.

    “Mother, why is your hair white all of a sudden?”

    The figure in bed gasps, eyes peeking from under the blanket. The voice that answers is low, rough, so unmistakably deeper than Gorgo’s. And he knows exactly who this voice belongs to.

    “Worry not, my child. It seems like an effect of the illness.”

    “Hm. Okay. So why is your voice deeper than usual?”

    “I’m just hoarse, darling.” Gorgo never calls him darling. “Since I’ve been coughing all night.”

    The blanket shifts again, and Mydei’s gaze drops lower, to the weird lump tenting the blanket right in the middle.

    “I see. But there is one thing I cannot understand, Mother.” He emphasizes the word, eyes locked at the obvious excitement of the wolf currently impersonating his mother.

    “Why is the blanket tenting like that?”

    Wait, this is not how the fairy tale goes...

    Summary

    “I’m not going to make this easy on you, you know that right?”

     

    There was no going back on accepting Cipher’s company, a fact that he was met with once again as she emerged from the bathroom. They’d just have to deal with the third person for however long it took, and Mydei wouldn’t get mad.

     

    Would he get even?

     

    Absolutely.

    Phainon extends a house invite without consulting Mydei first, Mydei refuses to let him off the hook, and Cipher is none the wiser.

    Though... maybe not.

    Summary

    On the ice, Phainon and Mydei are rivals.

    Off the ice, they cannot keep their hands away from each other.

    Unfortunately, Mydei thinks teasing Phainon mid-game is the funniest thing in the world—and Phainon is one whisper away from losing both the puck and his mind.

    Summary

    “It’s only been a few days,” Krateros says. “If you’d allow me a week before summoning the council…”

    I swear I’ll find him,’ he can’t allow himself to finish, unable to make more empty promises. Gorgo’s nod is so small he barely sees it, the barest tilt of her chin. Hope slowly wilts from her gaze, turning from a mournful mother’s to a vengeful queen’s.

    “One week,” she says. Her voice is clear-cut amongst the halls and the armored statues. He remembers her two decades ago, before she bore child, on the battlefield and surrounded by men who would die for her, Krateros being one of them — and he remembers the fear that crept up the whole world’s spine then. “Not a day more.”

    Summary

    He loved Phainon. He hadn’t said it out loud yet, but he loved him. It was as simple to him as breathing — although, considering that he’d died from suffocation less than twenty four hours ago, he supposed breathing was not very simple to him.

    Unrequited… Could his love be unrequited?
