    Summary

    He turns to Mydei, letting a gentle smile curve on his lips. Mydei’s eyes narrow to slits.

    “Hello there,” Phainon greets softly. He crouches down, inching closer. Mydei doesn’t budge, only tenses like a tightly coiled spring. “My name is Phainon. You’re Mydeimos, right?”

    Mydei doesn’t respond, lips pressed tightly shut. Phainon’s smile wavers, chest squeezing tight.

    “No one’s going to hurt you here,” he murmurs, extending his arm out. Mydei growls. Fear flashes through his eyes for a fleeting second, but it’s enough to have Phainon freezing in place, breath catching in his throat.

    (A mishap at the Abyss of Fate leaves Mydei a child whose only memories are of the Sea of Souls.)

    Summary

    Yanqing is not human. This fact has been known to him since his awakening from the emptiness in which he was for some time. No matter how human he looks or behaves, he is not, has not been and will not be a real human. All he can be is an exact imitation of a person, so perfect that for a moment he himself can pretend to be who he really is not. But he can never forget about it. He is primarily a weapon designed to cleanse the pious land of filth, as well as to protect its inhabitants.

    or

    Yaksha!Yanqing AU which has been living in my head for too long (and doesn't pay rent!!) In this AU, Yanqing is a yaksha created during the great War of the Archons, but as a result of an accident he got to Xianzhou where he met Jing Yuan. Here he must learn how not to be just a weapon, but a full-fledged person with his ambitions and desires. And how a good father Jing Yuan will help him! Now Yaksha!Yanqing must learn what a family is, and also not die from alluring corruption in process! :D In fact, I just wanted to write about their father-son relationship, but it turned out that way.
    Warning: English is not my native language! There may be mistakes here, so don't throw slippers!!!

    Summary

    “One day, you’re going to find a nice lady and settle down with her, just like me and your mother.”

    “But what if I never find a girl?”

    “I know you will, Phainon.” He laughs, “I expect nothing less from such an outstanding son of mine.”

    The next day, Phainon comes home covered in wheat, his arms crossed and pulling a face.

    Phainon pouts, “Daaad! I don't like any of the girls here!”

    He hums, “Find a girl outside of Aedes Elysiae then.”

    “What if I just find a boy instead? They’re way easier to deal with…”

    “You aren’t easy to deal with, little spitfire. And, boys can’t love other boys. That’s wrong.”

    “Why?”

    “That’s how it’s always been. Like how we always plant wheat in the fields, and pray to Oronyx every weekend. Why do we only worship the Time Titan?”

    “I dunno…”

    “It has always been that way. It’s served us well so far, so,” his dad shrugs, “Why change?”


    Or: Phainon’s homophobia takes one good lecture and one good look at Mydei, then disappears in the wind.

    Resparge - an old word for “to scatter again,” which could suggest sparks or seeds falling upon ash.
