Summary
Every eighty years, the people of Aedes Elysiae sacrifice a young woman to the ancient being which haunts their forest-bound village. It is the only way to protect everything they hold dear, to keep the shadows that once ate the rest of the world from eating them too.
After centuries of this uneasy peace, it appears the creature's tastes in food have changed.
Now it is Phainon who will be given to the one too terrible to name.

Summary
The toddler began to cry, and then he started to cough from trying to cry too hard, snot dripping down his face. Another adult came hurrying over to help him to his feet before they went inside to head, presumably, to the nurse’s office.
Loud, chaotic, dirty. Everything that went against Al-Haitham’s standards.
“Working here as what?” Kaveh blinked. “Like admin or something? That’s probably quiet and far enough from kids for you. Though—”
“No,” interrupted Al-Haitham. “I don’t.”
After getting fired from a prestigious architecture firm, Kaveh moves back to his hometown to raise his five-year-old brother only to find that an old college "acquaintance" is his little brother's kindergarten teacher.

Summary
“Your pronunciation’s even worse than a toddler’s.”
“That’s because you’re a terrible teacher,” Phainon says, petulance in his voice thin over affection.
Only then does Mydei fully turn to his side to face him, eyeing the way the dim light seems to catch the silver of Phainon’s hair. He reaches over without thinking. “Like this,” he mutters, thumb pressing against Phainon’s bottom lip to force the correct shape. “Your tongue here,” his touch lingers. “And don’t enunciate the last syllable too much.”
Or, when Phainon asked Mydei to teach him the Kremnoan language, he expected refusal. Much to his surprise, Mydei agrees. But as the words come easier, so does everything else Phainon was never supposed to understand.

Summary
Nevertheless, if anyone in Amphoreus ever did find themselves on the receiving end of Phainon’s actual wrath, and unless they shared Mydei’s gift of immortality, they probably wouldn’t live to see the next Entry Hour. Probably wouldn't want to either.
Honestly, Mydei wanted to test that theory.
Pushing Phainon's buttons becomes one of Mydei's favourite pastimes.

bruises you chose not to heal by sarsouri

Summary
“It’s selective healing,” Mydei interrupted smoothly, his tone maddeningly even.
Phainon tilted his head, brows furrowing, like he wasn’t sure if he’d misheard. “Selective… healing? What does that mean?”
Mydei allowed the smallest smile to tug at his lips, lowering his voice just enough to make it sting like a secret meant for Phainon alone. “It means,” he said slowly, “I chose not to heal them.”
