    Summary

    “Just like that,” Mydei breathes, rich and husky.

    It’s a murmur delivered so irreligiously low it feels wrong to hear.

    Phainon's brain blanks entirely. It wasn’t even the line itself—which was standard script stuff, just a mere three words strung together—but it was just the way he said it. Slow, syrupy amusement with a mercilessly sinful undertone. Fuck.

    How the hell was he supposed to survive the next sixty-something minutes?

    In which Phainon lands a gig with his longtime favorite voice actor; he immediately discovers that he is, in fact, not immune to Mydei's dangerously seductive vocal range.

    Summary

    Mydei’s mouth hardens as he rests his back against the throne, gesturing loosely at what—as far as Phainon can tell—is all of him. “This softness of yours? It’s worrisome. If something happens to me—if I’m corrupted, if the prophecy says you must go through me for the sake of Era Nova—will you be able to fulfill your promise? Or will you be too besotted to do what you must?”

    Phainon’s heart sinks. “I—” His voice cracks, and he takes a deep breath. “I can do it, Mydei. I promised.”

    Mydei retrieves a dagger, its blade long and wickedly sharp. He places the hilt in Phainon’s hand, closing his fingers around it. “Prove it. I challenge you to kill me three times, however you’d like. If you succeed, I will never bring this up again.”

    Nausea roils in Phainon’s stomach. He’s never failed to meet a challenge Mydei issued. Has always risen to them gladly. Eagerly, even. This is an exception. He is not as prepared for it as he’d thought, despite spiraling over the possibility so many times. Worry, it seems, does not substitute for ability to perform under pressure.


    Phainon's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day that he somehow walks away from in better shape than when he started.

    Summary

    As Mydei has before, he takes the lead and rounds the corner first - only to freeze completely. Even with his back to Phainon, Phainon can see how his entire body has gone rigid, posture stiff and dropping lower, like he can’t decide whether to fight or flee.

    Mydei looks stunned to silence, as if completely unable to react.

    “What happened?” Phainon asks, urgently, and immediately steps forward -

    “Wait,” Mydei says as Phainon steps up beside him, a second too late. But the edge of panic in his voice makes Phainon turn as he moves. Mydei’s gaze snaps to Phainon, and Phainon has never seen that expression on him. His eyes are wide, staring at him but as if unseeing, chest rising in quick, shallow breaths, clear tension in his muscles. “Wait, Phainon -”


    [Phainon must ferry Mydei's soul back to his body. The Flame Reaver has found it first.]

    Summary

    Voices catch Jane's attention when she's walking down the hall to the break room.

    “What do you mean you've never—?”

    “Keep it down!” someone yelps, and Jane distinctly recognizes it to be Seth's voice. Intrigued, she stops just shy from entering the room, lingering by the door frame where she can see in without being sighted herself. “It's not that big of a deal, is it—?”

    Ah, Jane thinks, they're talking about sex.

    Summary

    “Please,” Roche says. He wets his raw lips and shifts his weight, putting his hands behind his back like he’s in parade rest. He doesn’t look down or away, but his breath comes shaky as he says again, “Please, Iorveth. I need your help.”

    Iorveth doesn’t laugh or anything so crude, but his eye narrows in grim satisfaction, mouth moving like he’s holding in a wild grin, and a pang of shame and hunger lances through Roche.

    “And what,” Iorveth asks, stepping even closer, so that Roche has to either stare at his stupid tattoo or tip his head back, exposing his throat to look him dead in the eye, “are you going to give me in return?”

    ---

    After the Second Temerian Army is routed and dispersed by Nilfgaard, Vernon Roche goes into the forest to make a deal.
