    Summary

    Instead of being at all cowed, Jinu’s eyes shine fever-bright as he leans forward and says eagerly, “This is just the start, what we need is a rival boy band.”

    “…a demon boy band?” Romance says incredulously. “You really have lost your mind—in an especially court musician way. Who would even join you?”

    “Well, I was thinking you for starters,” Jinu says, propping his chin on his hand, nearly slipping again, and then quickly rearranging himself to lounge nonchalantly.

    Or Romance is pretty dubious about this entire demon boy-band idea, but if it's the only way to make another deal with Gwi-Ma, he's going to endure. And if along the way he gets to eat some eye-candy and share some banter with a certain muscular bandmate or the tall, mean huntress, that's just a bonus.

    Summary

    As a rule of thumb, Khaslana only granted himself the luxury of gazing upon her brilliant glow in two situations. 

    One, when he had to kill. 

    And the other, when he missed her. 

    Or: Khaslana spends eternity speaking to a moon that cannot answer him. Until one day, it finally does. A character analysis on the one who once bore the name "Phainon of Aedes Elysiae."

    Summary

    As the headless body of Irontomb shatters, Khaslana falls with it. Captured in a small window of time, somewhere in between the pages of Irontomb’s defeat and the ending, he drifts aimlessly in the space between. His porcelain wings fracture and crumble; the searing beneath his skin subsides. The Destruction chips off of him in tiny, glittering pieces like stars, crackling into nothingness, leaving Phainon raw and aching, eyes shut tight. 33 million cycles turned to dust.

    Time stutters and starts, the past is muddled with the present, and Cyrene floats with him, parting through the layers as she reaches out to touch his shoulder.

    “Sleeping now that the job is done?” she asks fondly, quietly. “You deserve it, of course, but there will be time for that later. I’d like to speak to you first.”

    He takes the lead between them, Cyrene trailing behind. At the doorway, he stops and looks back.

    “You coming?” he asks.

    Summary

    The cycles in-between. The first and last, a few somewhere in the middle.

    None of these matter in the end. The importance of them shall always be honored by the Deliverer’s final actions, by the scorching sun of Amphoreus finally, finally, allowing dawn to come.

    Khaslana knows this story much too well. Khaslana, Gazed upon by the Destruction — Khaslana, emergent factor of Hatred, has lived through it a million times.

    (Khaslana, born to hate, yet lovingly staring down at the words on the page, reminiscing, an old card in his hand.

    Born to hate. Raised to love.)

     

    Or, Phainon deals with the destruction of his home, years after it happens.

    Summary

    Mydei is everything the camera wants. Shirtless, bathed in light and crowned in gold.

    Phainon watches him work from the sidelines, holding a lukewarm coffee and his sanity by a thread. He wants to throttle something. Preferably everyone.

    They resolve it in the car.

    Summary

    Phainon swallows around nothing, looking at the new boy, taking in his striking, angular face and sharp, golden eyes that never leave the Headmaster.

    “Who's that?” he asks no one in particular, his voice a little breathless even in his own ears.

    “Mydeimos Kremnos. You know those Kremnoses," the fourth-year standing next to him whispers back. "He's practically wizarding world royalty."

    ---
    By his seventh year in Hogwarts, Phainon likes to think he’s gotten pretty good at this wizarding thing. On top of being both the Gryffindor Quidditch captain and a Prefect, he has plenty of friends and decent grades—everything he needs for a memorable but not too difficult graduation year. But when the Triwizard tournament is announced to return, and Hogwarts welcomes international guests, Phainon finds himself inexplicably drawn to Durmstrang’s would-be champion Mydeimos. When the Goblet of Fire spits out both their names, it’s sure to be an exciting year.

    Summary

    Mydei and Cipher took their leave, announcing with no shortage of pleasure that they’d be going to explore the rest of the Page in order to see what it held in store for them. Anaxa too departed, teasing something about hoping to avoid Aglaea before they inevitably crossed paths, until it was just Castorice and Phainon left at the Dome of the Stars.

    “I think I’ll go see my sister as well,” Castorice whispered, terribly fond. She took a slow step forward, waiting to see if it was alright to go and leave him alone, to which Phainon chuckled and urged her on. It didn’t matter whether he spent a few more minutes or an entire day alone.

    Cyrene wouldn’t come either way.

    (or, as the Trailblazer introduces a romantic story to the cosmos, Phainon comes to terms with its ending, and eventually begins his own campaign.)

    Summary

    The impact was sudden and solid, slamming into him with far more force than he had expected. The world lurched violently as he was knocked off balance, his grip faltering as the chain slipped from his hand. For a split second, everything felt weightless.

    Then he hit the ground just as hard.

    Of course, he trusted Nagisa to manage on his own. But if there was one thing Kira had learned from nightshifts, it was that reckless teenagers wandering off so late was a recipe for disaster.

    And, although Nagisa tried to cover it up, Kira had seen the cuts and scratches that scattered all over his limbs.

    He would be a fool to ignore it.

    -

    In which Kira unknowingly follows Nagisa into the Metaverse, finding himself in more trouble than he expected.

    Summary

    Zanka blinks at the older man. Then blinks again. Feels like his brain has done a hard reset at the sudden pivot in topic.

    Feels dumb when he blurts out, “Follo?”

    “Mhm, he was real worried about you missing dinner. Wanted to make sure someone brought you something.” Enjin states, reaching up to rub at his chin in a theatrical display of thoughtfulness. “You know, he could have just brought it himself.”

    or

    Zanka is injured, and Follo’s reaction forces them to confront unfamiliar feelings.
