Summary
"Mydeimos."
Mydei lowers his eyes, taking in the blood dripping from the alpha's fingers. When he lifts them back up, Phainon blinks, and throws him a lopsided smile that doesn't reach the eyes, as if the man hasn't done it in a very long time.
Oh.
He recalls the times the alpha called him with that same exact tone, finally noticing the difference. Phainon's eyes darken the second the realization dawns on him, like a predator prancing in front of his prey.
His instincts scream at him to flee, but the other side of his mind finds it challenging, entertaining, and he wants.

Summary
Young men standing on the top of their own graves
Wondering when Jesus comes, are they gonna be saved?
Cruelty to the winner, bishop tells the king his lies
Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die
Soldier Side - System Of A DownTwo solitary souls assigned to opposites sides of a war share an unlikely meeting amidst a battlefield littered with the corpses of their countrymen. With the unbearable weight of militaristic expectations thrust upon their shoulders, a simple split-second decision leaves Neuvillette clinging to life by a thread and Wriothesley adrift in an ethical dilemma. Beaten and broken by the meat grinder that is the war machine, treason sounds like sweet relief as both men find comfort they’d thought long lost, and risk it all to be free of senseless violence forevermore.

Summary
Wriothesley thought he'd managed to move on. It had been over fifteen years ago for gods sake. It hadn't caused him problems in years, he thought he'd finally managed to leave that part of himself behind, but as he starts slowly getting closer to the Chief Justice, to Neuvillette, it all starts to bubble back to the surface again. Maybe he hadn't moved on as much as he'd thought.
Nearly two decades later, more of the truth about what exactly Wriothesley's foster parents did starts coming to light.

Summary
“What does dying feel like?”
Mydei stills. He could tell him of different sensations of death. He could tell him what it feels like when life ebbs out of your veins, and you can only watch it happen. He could tell him how the swift stab of a blade snuffs life out like a wayward candle. He could tell him that the River of Souls is a cold climb, with sweet voices whispering from beyond the shore, beckoning him to join them, relish in their touches yet again, after all the time that has passed.
Mydei gathers Phainon in his arms, burying his head in the Deliverer’s neck. Phainon is limp enough that it might be concerning, so Mydei just holds him tighter.
“You will find no comfort there.”
“No,” Phainon agrees, “such things are long beyond me.”

Summary
“You had to go through that thirty-three times?” Tribbie asked. Her voice wobbled with unshed tears.
Phainon did the only thing possible in such a situation: He panicked.
“Uh,” he said, because clearly his eloquence had abandoned him during one of the cycles, “yes?”
// OR, circumstance leads to the heirs thinking Phainon only lived through thirty-three cycles. Rather than correcting them on this, Phainon doubles down and decides this is the new narrative he'll go along with so as to avoid worrying them too much.
