    Summary

    “That’s not childish.” If he had a heart, he’s sure it would be pounding. “That’s the definition of peace. The soul’s greatest desire. It is never too far out of reach.”

    “Isn’t it?” Phainon whispers, but his brow gentles, posture relaxing into the chilly night's air. “And what is it you desire, Anaxa?”

    A touch, as the baby dromas snuggles close, and for one fleeting moment, an image crosses his thoughts. Watching the sunset, satisfied from a day fulfilled by the gentle touch of companionship and a homecooked meal. They'd have a home, together.

    “Peace,” Anaxa says eventually. “I, too, desire peace.”

    Anaxagoras has fifteen days left to alter the course of Amphoreus' history for good, and he's resigned every hour to it wreathed in the slow and agonizing deterioration of a body that is already dead. The plan was to spend the brunt of it alone, in the solitary halls of his quarters.

    The plan did not include Phainon, who shows up at his door in the middle of the night, asking for a place to stay.

    or: Anaxa is dying. Phainon disagrees.

    Summary

    In this world, some are born with a supernatural mark: their soulmate’s first words, destined to be spoken at their fateful meeting, etched indelibly upon their skin. For Anaxa, however, this cosmic promise seemed a dumb jest, as mundane as it was baffling:

    'Flour, eggs, sugar—bag them separately'

    A grocery list? Really?

    For years, he had harbored a secret resolve to confront the stranger who had fated him with such an absurd inscription.

    Summary

    Although Kaveh’s name sits in the Reaping Bowl 242 times, it’s 11-year-old Collei that gets reaped for the 99th Hunger Games under the Tsaritsa’s reign. When Kaveh volunteers to take her place, he sets a tragedy in motion neither of them could have anticipated.

    Because Alhaitham is set on bringing him home - even if it means walking into an arena of death. As he joins Kaveh as the second tribute of District 12 the promise of keeping Kaveh alive is a declaration of love and war in one, a spark of revolution set alight after years of oppression under the Archon of Love.

    Tighnari managed to save Collei but the costs feel unbearable. Now he has to mentor both of his best friends and guide them through the Hunger Games, where only one person can ever win. And as a former victor himself, he knows the winner is never among the tributes.

    Summary

    And despite that... Kaveh is… “Lovesick?”

    Kaveh’s hands move to cover his face, palms muffling his words as he mutters, “It’s—not quite like that.”

    “Well, the ‘sick’ aspect is accurate, at least.”

    “No shit,” Kaveh snorts. “The ‘love’ component, though—it’s, uh—”

    “You’re not in love?”

    He coughs. “The greenhouse in my lungs begs to differ. I—it’s more that my body is mourning a love it knows can’t ever be requited.”

    For all the negative feelings Alhaitham’s encountered over the past twelve hours, the sensation that creeps through him now is…

    Unfamiliar.

    Unknowable.

    Despite all the languages he’s fluent in, Alhaitham is unable to conjure a word or phrase with which he can immediately label it. He just knows that whatever this feeling is, it’s unbelievably unpleasant. Like his body is stationary, yet his internal organs are plummeting into the Abyss.

    “You love someone who doesn’t love you back?” he asks after a moment.

    Kaveh has Hanahaki. That much is known. But who he loves, and whether Alhaitham will be able to save him, is up in the air.
