    Summary

    spoilers for hsr 3.3

    When it comes to predatory, soul-sucking gacha games, Cosmic Impact Rail Zero was probably the worst of the worst. Did it have incredible characters? Yes. An engaging storyline? Double yes. Did it make Mydei want to blow his entire paycheck on weapons and skins and more rolls? Of course it did.

    But it also killed off basically every character in the game, including the crown prince that shared Mydei's name– Mydeimos the Undying, Son of Gorgo. How the hell was that even possible?! He literally had undying in his title!?

    So when the developers ask for feedback, Mydei goes off on a heated tangent– and finds himself reincarnated as his namesake. You know– the doomed prince, destined for a life of hardship? Destined to die?

    Not if Mydei has anything to say about it.

    Summary

    Perdikkas comes into view, stepping closer to blink down at Phainon and Mydei on the ground. “You’re all here?”

    Ptolemy scoffs, kicking lightly at the dirt. “Guess who has the extraordinary pleasure of being assigned the babysitting duty to the dumbass trio over here?” He rolls his eyes with a sharp sigh. “Not Peucesta, clearly. Lucky bastard.”

    “Don’t lump me in with them,” Hephaestion protests. Ridiculous. Everyone knows who instigates the fights just as often as Phainon and Mydei.

    “We don’t need babysitting,” Phainon says at the same time, words muffled as Mydei’s hand smashes his head into the ground, resuming their fight now that Ptolemy is distracted. Phainon almost bites down on the dirt by accident.

     

    or; Phainon finds Mydei drifting at the Sea of Souls after Aedes Elysiae is destroyed. Pulling the other kid out of the water might be the best decision of his life

    Summary

    It’s a fine uneventful morning. Phainon was enjoying his usual bowl of whole wheat cereal and milk. His dog Bubbles was lounging out on the couch, gnawing on his morning bone like always when Mydei suddenly stormed out of the bathroom. He slammed a positive pregnancy test down on the table in front of Phainon who starts to choke.

    Mydei and Phainon have a happy accident together because it takes two to make a baby.

    Summary

    When King Eurypon receives the prophecy that his son, Prince Mydeimos, will be "crowned in blood", he sacrifices the child to the Sea of Souls. The boy emerges only days later, becoming a Chrysos Heir seemingly impervious to death. Queen Gorgo thinks of another, kinder solution - sending her son off to be crowned elsewhere.

    Mydei himself doesn't understand the whole truth of the circumstances around his arranged marriage to Lord Phainon in Okhema. However, he knows revealing his true power could put the marriage deal in jeopardy, and risk the rest of the Kremnoans' futures along with it.

    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.”

    To save his people, Mydei strikes a deal. Aid in exchange for two things: the coreflame of Strife and his hand in marriage.
