    Summary

    “That’s not childish.” If he had a heart, he’s sure it would be pounding. “That’s the definition of peace. The soul’s greatest desire. It is never too far out of reach.”

    “Isn’t it?” Phainon whispers, but his brow gentles, posture relaxing into the chilly night's air. “And what is it you desire, Anaxa?”

    A touch, as the baby dromas snuggles close, and for one fleeting moment, an image crosses his thoughts. Watching the sunset, satisfied from a day fulfilled by the gentle touch of companionship and a homecooked meal. They'd have a home, together.

    “Peace,” Anaxa says eventually. “I, too, desire peace.”

    Anaxagoras has fifteen days left to alter the course of Amphoreus' history for good, and he's resigned every hour to it wreathed in the slow and agonizing deterioration of a body that is already dead. The plan was to spend the brunt of it alone, in the solitary halls of his quarters.

    The plan did not include Phainon, who shows up at his door in the middle of the night, asking for a place to stay.

    or: Anaxa is dying. Phainon disagrees.

    Except... Anaxagoras? Wasn't that the name of the pretty stranger who stole Phainon's heart?

    Summary

    Perhaps Phainon should just compromise—pretend he never questioned Anaxa about any of this. Instead, he brazenly offers, “Let me satisfy your curiosity.”

    “Oh?” A tilt of his head.

    “Fly with me.”

    Every Chrysos Heir is born with wings, majestic and a sight to behold. Despite that, Anaxa never gets to fly.

    Summary

    “Ah, pardon my overreach. I suppose I got a little ahead of myself,” he apologizes quickly, feeling his cheeks heat up, a little ashamed to be so easily swept up in his excitement at the promise of a problem to solve.

    Sherlock barks out a short, jubilant laugh, sliding his hand into his jacket pocket to retrieve one of his cigarettes, placing it between his lips before returning for his matches next. “Liam,” matches located, Sherlock lights up his cigarette and takes a long drag, exhaling the smoke unhurriedly towards the window next to him, “It is a true pleasure to have ya aboard.”
    ~
