    Summary

    The only difference between a pirate and a privateer is a single piece of paper from the King, and this single fact is something Cyno is all too aware of. After all, it is currently the only thing keeping him, and the crew of his ship, from the grasp of the hangman.

    But a bad string of luck onboard his ship has left Cyno all too aware of this paper, as well as a letter from the King. He is given the ultimatum, either find the ever elusive monstrous siren that has been wrecking havoc on any Spanish (or otherwise) ship along the major trade routes, or he can find The Green Watcher, the even more elusive Indian pirate.

    As he sets off on his journey across the ocean, Cyno can only come to one conclusion.

    He really should have been a farmer.

    Summary

    "You've been watching me for almost a week now," he spoke, voice low. A butterfly took off from its seat within a Sumeru Rose, fluttering away at the sound of his voice. "And I'm yet to invite you to eat with me."

    Tighnari heard a breath catch, followed by the sound of a body pushing itself up against a tree. He sighed, lifting his head. "Yes, you."

    There were a few moments of silence, before a figure donning a cotton cloak stepped out. This time, it was Tighnari's turn for the air in his lungs to be stolen.

    Summary

    Pushing open the door, he was met with Cyno seated on the edge of the bath, handing him a roll of bloody bandages without looking.

    “For me?” Tighnari asked dryly, accepting the bandages and tossing them into the trash. “Charming. You shouldn’t have, really.”

    Cyno huffed, lifting his eyes. His hair was pinned back with some of Collei’s spare hairclips, so none of his beautiful face was obscured. Huh, bunny rabbits rather suited him.

    or

    It's been some time since Tighnari had been struck by lightning, but he isn't fully healed yet. When Cyno visits Gandharva Ville injured, naturally, fluff ensues.

    Summary

    Mutual Romantic Advancement Protocol (M.R.A.P.)
    ✦ Subject 1: Sethos → Wanderer (Etiology Major)
    ✦ Subject 2: Cyno → Tighnari (Biology Major)

    Cyno tapped the marker against his chin, then added:
    Phase One — Controlled Contact
    Objective: Initiate direct, sustained interpersonal engagement.
    Constraints: No panic, no retreat, no metaphysical spiral.

    Sethos leaned over his shoulder. “You’re actually doing this.”
    “Of course. We’re both functionally hopeless.”
    “I’m touched.”
    “You’re tragic.”
    “Touché.”

    Cyno has been crushing on Tighnari for years; Sethos is desperate for any form of interaction with Wanderer. Of course, being scholars, the only way to fix this was to conduct a completely ingenious and ethical experiment.

    Summary

    With their bitter reunion at the Temple of Silence, Cyno and Sethos' relationship is at its lowest. Not to mention the former's struggles with having to share a body with the complete soul of an ancient deity. But when Cyno finally cracks under all that pressure, Sethos finds himself in a time crunch to save the man he's envied, cared for, and known his whole life. Before it's too late.

    OR

    Cyno & Sethos need to stop bitching and lock tf in before something bad happens (it will)
