Summary
The whole world was nothing but darkness and pain but, somehow, he knew of these things from beyond it.
…
“Mydeimos,” the thin one said again.
Mydeimos. That high, firm voice.
Mydei. That low, soft voice.
These five knew something. Knew him or those voices.
So he gave them those two words burrowed somewhere deeper than his mind or body. Aedes Elysiae.
When Mydei finally emerges from the Sea of Souls after nine harsh winters, the most precious thing in the world to him isn’t his name, his body or his life. But two words he can’t remember the origin of: Aedes Elysiae.
As the years pass in exile, he finds himself plagued by knowledge that comes from the same maybe-past or maybe-future that wasn’t quite Mydei’s and yet was.
It took four years for him to stumble across Aedes Elysiae, a boy that calls the place home, and why those words were engraved upon his soul.

Summary
“Glad to see you back among the living,” Phainon says through a yawn, clearly having spent the night in the uncomfortable chair in the infirmary by Mydei’s side. Like he often does.
Mydei’s head hurts. Just the regular kind of pain, easily managed by ignoring it until it goes away. But what makes it worse, is the confusion at his predicament. The memories returning to him in death used to vary in time and people who appeared in them. Why is it always Phainon nowadays?
“Fuck you,” Mydei says, hoarsely. He feels like he is losing his mind.
Phainon’s mouth locks mid-yawn and he blinks down at him stupidly, tilting his head with confusion. It’s probably fair, he hasn’t even done anything to earn Mydei’s ire as of late.
or; Human brain lives for a few more minutes after dying, replaying the most cherished memories. Mydei starts seeing Phainon after each of his deaths.

Summary
“I…I never would have guessed that of all the competitions we’ve had over the years, an ‘endure the hot baths’ competition would be our l-last.”
It is supposed to be a joke, light and glib, but Phainon’s voice cracks on the final word. Last. He hastily flashes his easy smile to try and cover it up, but that action spurs tears to uncontrollably well in his eyes.
Breaking eye contact, Phainon looks away. A shuddering breath escapes him, before he all but whispers, “Hah…you must think me frail hearted.”
Mydei does not respond immediately. Instead, Phainon feels a gentle touch on the edge of his jaw. It tenderly guides his gaze back to Mydei’s own.
Then, with steely conviction, Mydei speaks.
“Never.”
....
“But…what do you mean by ‘our last’?”
Phainon is filled with grief at Mydei's departure from Okhema.
Mydei fills Phainon's heart with hope.An alternative ending to 3.1

Summary
"You do know we're soulmates right?"
"..."
"Mydei? Did you hear me?"
"Mhm."
Why couldn't Mnestia bless him with a better soulmate? Phainon gritted his teeth. This was not the romantic encounter Cyrene had told him all about. Why was Mydei so intent on pushing Phainon so far away? Why couldn't he just.. accept him as his soulmate?

The Cat Pastry Conundrum by midnighter777

Summary
“Ah, that.” Ratio nods, as if whatever the hell the pastry cat thing was…well, normal. It left Aventurine wondering if strange mutations running around were a common occurrence on the space station. The doctor gestures in the thing’s general direction. “That is one of Ruan Mei, member number 81 of the genius society’s creation. It’s simply a byproduct of one of her experiments and is harmless.”
The cat pastry's gelatinous body jiggles as it looks up at Aventurine, and blinks slowly. It warbles, and he has no idea what that sound was supposed to mean. “I’ll have someone pick it up in the meanwhile, and —“
”It can stay here.” Aventurine blurts before he can stop himself.
In which one of Ruan Mei’s cat pastries makes its way into Aventurine’s room, and he ends up caring for it with the help of a certain doctor.
