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.”

Summary
“I’m reclining.”
“Then un-recline.”
Ivan sighed, long and theatrical. The kind of sound that belonged in a cathedral at midnight or a courtroom minutes before sentencing. He pressed a hand to his temple, not because it hurt, but because he liked imagining himself in oil portraits.
“Before we begin,” Ivan said, “can we agree that the word strumming is vulgar?”
or, Till gets paid to tutor Ivan in guitar. It goes about as well as you'd think.

Summary
His Xiaoshi, his light, his meaning of life. The one he was willing to wait for as long as it took. The person who was his first love, his first kiss, the first one he hugged tightly, the first one whose pulse became his favorite melody.
It’s a pity that all this happened in the past, and he’ll have to wait until they are inextricably close again. In the meantime, he’ll have to cope with an obsessive wet dream that visited him, perhaps not for the first time.

The difference between them is night and day. Bitterly, Mydei mutters, “We’re only fooling around…”
In which Phainon wants more for their relationship. Mydei resists.

Summary
The soft humming of a lullaby prevents him from pondering. Like the coming of a shark waiting to feast, the same voice reverberates under the water, soft and soothing like a music box, but deep and pulling like an anchor in the depths, as Phainon fights the urge to sleep. But what little can he hang on to when there is no point at all? A siren song works exactly like this: it relieves you of all conviction, and thus the listener turns into nothing more than an inebriated husk, only wishing to enact according to their innermost desires regardless of any consequence. Phainon slips in and out of that hazy state while he listens still, unable to muster any desire not to want to hear more—and, really, he would never want to.
phainon is the twin brother of the king who is sent away to die at sea. mydeimos is the siren who saved him, who sings to lure his victims and kisses them like death's final embrace. this is a story of what it means to love the sea in all of its beauty, and all of its terror.
