    Summary

    When the first village fell to the demon’s advance, Mydei found something he was not expecting.
    A hidden chamber, a strange ritual and a figure that was all too familiar thanks to his memory of previous lives.
    Seeing Phainon chained to a table, unconscious and strange seals still glowing on his body was not only worrisome, it also begged the question just what exactly had happened here and how it connected to the rising threat looming over them.
    The problem? Phainon himself could not remember a thing, either.

    Or: Reincarnation AU, where they remember as soon as they meet one of the other Heirs. If you remember previous lives, but not your current one - which would be particularly helpful - you’re in for a bit of a ride.

    Summary

    He looks the same as he always does, except for the stark diminishment of his height and the innocent brightness of his eyes. Standing on his tiptoes, he coos over the trinkets his older self keeps in his quarters, his oversized tunic hanging off his frame like a dress. Mydei’s blood runs cold.

    The younger Phainon turns to him and, with the voice of a boy more than a decade away from adulthood, points at a figurine: a miniature stone chariot drawn by a pair of swans. “Cyrene would love this! May I take this home?”

    Mydei can’t speak.

    For a moment, they merely stare at each other. Mydei narrows his eyes, attempting to gauge whether this is an illusion or some kind of Okheman prank. “How old are you?”

    Phainon gives him a thousand-watt smile and holds up five fingers. “Seven!”

    Phainon turns back to his seven-year-old self. Mydei takes care of him.

    Summary

    “I wanted to say thank you, I guess.”

    “There’s no need for that, between us,” Mydei says, "It’s a given. I don’t stand by you for thanks.” A soft bump against his shoulder. Phainon’s head is a slight weight, his neck at an awkward angle.

    “Marry me,” he says, and Mydei snorts.

    “I already did.”

    The Flame Chase is coming to an end. Mydei is still learning to be a husband and a king. He finally gets Phainon a gift.

    Summary

    “Why do they throw flowers?”

    “They’re well-wishes,” Phainon answers. “Crocuses are for new beginnings, cyclamen are for love, colchicum for fidelity. They’re blessing the marriage.”

    Mydei’s hand shifts a little lower, warm fingers circling Phainon’s wrist. “Your traditions are terribly sentimental.”

    “Romantic,” Phainon corrects. “Just call them romantic.”

    To save his people, Mydei strikes a deal. Aid in exchange for two things: the coreflame of Strife and his hand in marriage.
