    Summary

    Phainon seems to pick up on his thinly veiled dismissal, his smile falling.

    “I—yeah. Yes. You’re right, I’m sorry. Um—”

    “Goodnight, Phainon,” Mydei says, a touch gentler, pushing off the railing and heading back to the door.

    He can just barely hear Phainon’s soft, “Goodnight, Mydeimos,” before he’s shutting the chamber door behind him.

    Or: a mutual, unprompted kiss is left unresolved. Mydei and Phainon aren't quite sure how to breach the subject.

    Summary

    “Khaslana,” Mydei responds, his voice hesitant as his finger finally dips down to press over the injury Khaslana had previously been hiding.

    Over the startling crack in his skin.

    Oh.

    Khaslana’s eyes widen, his arm shooting out to grip Mydei’s wrist. Mydei offers no protest, simply staring, frozen in shock.

    “You’re…breaking,” Mydei mutters, so quietly.

    Khaslana screws his eyes shut.

    “You weren’t supposed to see.”

    Or: Khaslana trudges through millions of cycles, stealing Coreflames and losing himself all while he clings to the memories from his original Flame-Chase Journey, and of his original Mydeimos.

    Summary

    Eternal Recurrence #3,400,236 concluded as all that came before, and as all would come after. And yet, there remains a shimmering memory of it, something that stands out in that broken brain of his.

    “You're crying.”

    Khaslana lifts his tired gaze from their hands, blinks against the salty vapors rising from where his waterline glimmers.

    “I am.”

    Mydei is cupping his face, holding him gently by the jaw, and Khaslana barely feels it.

    “You're breaking.”

    “Yeah.” It's hollow, his voice. Numb. “I know.”

    ____

    Khaslana's long, long journey toward true daybreak, and all those shimmering, bloodstained memories collected along the way.
