Summary
“Thank you, Professor,” Phainon manages to say, all in one breath. He looks from Mydei, to Castorice, and then back to him. “And you, Professor. I’m an admirer of your work.”
He says this with the softest hint of bitterness. A little clipped, but polite.
“Likewise. It’s a pity I beat you to it,” Mydei says. His voice is deep. Holds the upturned tilt of something playful and pleased. That has Phainon seething, just a little. And Mydei smirks, mirth bright in those eyes, as if reveling in Phainon’s failures.
It’s a pity Mydei is so fetchingly handsome when cocky. All the lectures Phainon had attended in the past had been spent admiring Mydei. Back then, he’d been utterly enamoured.
Things are different now, for a multitude of reasons.
- Uncovering the mysteries of the Ancient Okheman ruins, Phainon, a recent graduate, pursuing his PhD, and Mydei, his Mentor, have strange dreams, and soon realize, that their souls have known each other long before this life. But what can one do when a love that was meant to be doomed is finally found in a life that is kinder? Will they willingly fall over that edge, or let grief for a life they could not have drowned them entirely?

Summary
“As if I have any eye for art,” Mydei replies.
Castorice rolls her eyes. “As if plating isn’t just sculpture with food.”
He opens his mouth to fire back a snide rejoinder, realizes she’s right, and holds his tongue instead. She’s doing him a favor, forcing him out of his house, one of his only friends who’s stuck with him over the past year of tremendous, never-ending grief. No one knows how to deal with a widower’s pain and loss. No one wants to. But Castorice has faced even more death than he has, and she hasn’t let him pull away from the world despite his attempts.
After the unexpected death of his partner, Khaslana, about a year ago, Mydei meets photographer Phainon at a gallery exhibition he's forced to attend by his friend, Castorice. Unexpected sparks fly between them as they grow closer through Phainon's photography.

Summary
“Look, this might sound a little strange… but could you hear me out for a moment?” Phainon asks, his tone hopeful.
Mydei supposes he signed himself to it. He gives a short nod. Phainon fidgets with the bandage between his fingers.
“I wanted today to be special.” He pauses, his shoulders dropping slightly. “There’s someone I’ve wanted to ask out for a long time.”
Oh, by Nikador balls. Mydei was really going to have to sit here and listen to Phainon gush about his undying crush on Cyrene, wasn’t he? He clenches his fists inside the costume, a wave of discomfort washing over him.
Mydei is working part-time as a mascot at the recently opened Chimera Park. While wearing his Fig Stew costume, he unexpectedly befriends a cheerful teenager, who happens to be both his classmate and his long-time secret crush for over two years, Phainon.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Phainon shoved his own jumpsuit down, cock springing free. He spat into his palm, slicked himself quick. He pressed the head against Mydei’s entrance and Mydei pushed back, taking the first inch with a hiss.
“I'll be slow,” Phainon growled low. “You'll be quiet.”
He sank in by degrees inch after inch until he bottomed out, hips flush to Mydei’s ass. Mydei’s arms shook, knuckles white on the bunk frame. Phainon stayed still a moment, letting him adjust, feeling the tight heat clench around him.
---
Phainon finds his routine disrupted when Mydei arrives as his new cellmate. Their relationship takes an unexpected turn when Mydei's heat reveals him as an omega, making him vulnerable to the predatory inmates around them. To protect Mydei from the others, Phainon claims him, providing relief during his heat and establishing a bond that transcends their prison walls.
Months later, Phainon walks free, leaving Mydei behind.
A few years later, he meets Mydei with a young child who bears an unmistakable resemblance to Phainon himself.Series

Summary
Mydei pays their bickering no mind. Instead, he turns to the rapidly approaching group of five and says, “My friends, I want you to meet them.”
Hephaestion. Perdikkas. Leonnius. Peucesta. Ptolemy.
Phainon greets them with a smile. Or tries to. He’s not sure it lands. He knows them. After all, he’s met them before, countless times actually—some rare cycles here and there where they didn’t meet their ends early.
They’re friendly if not wary. Pleasantries are exchanged, words of joyous occasion, but Phainon’s mind is elsewhere, off on a different plane of existence.
Because Mydei smells like them, and Phainon doesn’t like it.
Mydei returns from Castrum Kremnos smelling like foreign alpha. Phainon reacts.
