    Summary

    Ratio suddenly pushed Aventurine’s legs off his lap, sliding towards the startled man and pulling him into a hug.

    “Hey! Wha..?” However, it didn’t take long for Aventurine to melt into the embrace fully, wrapping his arms around Ratio in return.

    “You didn’t tell me,” Ratio whispered into his ear. “I would’ve gotten you help.”

    “I didn’t want to be a bother,” Aventurine mumbled into Ratio’s shoulder. “An’ I’m fine. I’ve lived this long without help, I‘m sure I can keep going.”

    “I know you can, dear Gambler. But the question is whether you should.”

     

    Or, Aventurine attends a gala, finds Ratio, has a dance, and drinks a little bit too much. Ratio ends up having to take Aventurine home and take care of him.

    Summary

    He had been reading on the couch only for Aventurine to decide he wanted the couch instead and practically manhandled the doctor onto his lap. And normally Ratio would complain or not allow Aventurine to even get so far, but something about the gentle way Aventurine had placed him down made his heart race.

    So now Ratio is lying on top of Aventurine, using the gambler's chest to rest his book as he pretends to read with Aventurine looking down at him.

    Summary

    “Ha! Not even the King of Kremnos can defeat the Great Imperator in drinks,” Cerydra crows, slurring proudly. “I shall remain the greatest, most undefeatable in history!”

    That actually gets Mydei to perk up. He sluggishly lifts his head, the movement so unsteady that Phainon’s hands shoot out to steady him by the shoulders. Mydei doesn’t even seem to notice—which is worrying. Sure, this might be an era of peace for them, but would he really let anyone touch him like this when he’s this drunk?

    “Pah! Hish—history?” Mydei fires back, the word wobbling out of his mouth so badly Phainon briefly wonders how much they’ve been drinking. “I’ll—I’ll tell you about history. It starts in Cycle Zero.”

    Wait. What.

    When Aglaea asked him to pick Mydei up after a drinking session with Cerydra, Phainon did not expect to hear Mydei recount all the different ways he has loved across 33 million cycles.

    Summary

    He believed Mydei to be a civilian. One unfortunate enough to appear at the wrong place at the wrong time and became entangled in Phainon’s skirmish with the Cleaners.

    Mydeimos’ disguise was hardly one that stood up to scrutiny. Perhaps Okhema’s heir apparent was more foolish than Mydeimos anticipated.

    As the Crown Prince of Kremnos, Mydeimos has two aims as he secrets through the streets of a city he doesn’t care to know the name of: gather information on the enemy Flame-Chase Army, and avoid the Cleaners coming to stain the earth with his golden blood.

    It was pure chance to encounter Phainon: the heir apparent and current leader of Okhema’s army, and Mydeimos’ current foe in the Chrysos War. But Mydeimos would never waste such a convenient opportunity to fulfil both of those aims in one fell swoop.

    Summary

    “Just give me… some time and—and I can… change back. You don’t have to…”

    Nothing more escaped him. Even that was too much for Phainon, lips pressed into a thin line mired with regret that he had spoken at all.

    “I don’t have to what?”

    Phainon didn’t answer.

    “I don’t have to what, Phainon?” Mydei demanded, sharp and rough, but that was always when Phainon met him head on.

    The truth spilled out in a cracked whisper. “Try and love me. When I—when I’m like this.”

    Amphoreus’ first solar eclipse was meant to be a time for celebration. But the sight of daylight devoured by darkness dredges Phainon’s old memories and transformations with them in a frenzied haze.

    Mydei proves to Phainon that his appearances, and the past entangled within them, has never mattered to him.
