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
Mydei scoffs. "Only you could sound so excited about math tutoring. I can practically see your tail wagging." The corners of his lips quirk up in amusement. "Like an overeager little puppy about to go for its first walk."
Phainon's brain stalls, his eyes widening. For reasons he will likely need to unpack very soon, his heart has started kicking up a real fuss in his chest. Distantly, he wonders if he might be dying.
It's not the first time he's been compared to a puppy or a dog—far from it, in fact. Heck, even his family had lovingly referred to him and his childhood dog as Big Snowy and Little Snowy, respectively. And he'd been perfectly normal about it every time.
Until now, apparently.
Phainon speedruns self-discovery, public humiliation, and getting together with his long-time academic rival and crush.

Summary
Phainon huffed, glaring at the radio device as if it could wilt beneath his ire. “What kind of local station is this?”
Phainon had meant it. What kind of radio station excluded one of the year’s best hits and one of last year’s best ones? He would have thought that Mydei, being a broadcaster himself, would agree sagely and validate his feelings.
Instead, Mydei laughed. It was a quiet, restrained thing that immediately softened all his features and demeanor. Whatever annoyance that may have been plaguing Phainon all fell apart in the wake of that sound.
“Don’t worry,” Mydei reassured him, still smiling. “We always have the campus radio.”

Summary
Cipher finds a traumatized white-haired boy in a destroyed village, so she takes him with her on her travels, avoiding Okhema like she's done for the past centuries.
And then she finds another kid, blond this time, with the same golden blood but no injuries, and thinks “what the hell, sure” and takes him with her too.
Cipher isn't the best babysitter around, but she does know when someone needs to run away from the world for a while.

Summary
When Phainon finally moved to Castrum Kremnos—the city he’d daydreamed about since childhood—he expected many things: difficult dialects, lovely cuisine, and locals built like war gods. He did not expect to flirt with a man he assumed was a priest.
“So… I read Nikador’s scriptures once. Very inspiring. Huge fan.”
Finger guns.
Pew pew.
A silence worthy of a sacred text.
Unfortunately, that “priest” happened to be the Crown Prince.
Even more unfortunately, the Crown Prince thought he was cute.

Summary
The problem with Phainon is that—well. There's actually no problem with Phainon, if you discount the fact that he works six days a week and spends his single day off being on-call; his intertwining savior-hero-martyr complex (according to Cyrene); his ugly rusted beat-up truck (according to Hyacine); his general demeanor and boring lifestyle (according to Cipher).
In which Phainon has an ethical crisis.

Summary
“The purpose of marriage in Kremnos is to continue a bloodline. The more accolades you collect on the battlefield, the more valuable you are to your family. Very few are privileged enough to marry for love. Love is…reserved for the one you're bound to by your heart, not by the decree of the law.”
“Is that not the same person, usually?”
Mydei lifts his eyes to Phainon’s, and he freezes, as if pinned in place.
“No,” Mydei says, with as much weight as it deserves.
He swears he hears Phainon swallow.
“Oh...”
On a night like any other, in one of Amphoreus's many cycles, Mydei and Phainon discuss everyone's marriage but their own.

Mydei is holding the oversized beast like a baby in his arms, Figstew’s belly is still big and round and full of—
“Kittens,” Mydei says. He looks past Phainon to where a light-haired, limber cat sleeps on the floor. “And I know who did it.”
Phainon finally has an excuse to talk to his hot neighbor, but the reason is about to become reasons.

Summary
Phainon may have started panicking. At the bare minimum, he felt blindsided— Mydei was purposefully being combative, despite Phainon having been nothing but amicable, and now he was making it sound like Phainon was the one in the wrong.
So he did the most logical thing he could think of in response, of course— acting before really thinking about it— and demonstrated his willingness to participate in what he'd perceived to be a provocation from the Crown Prince—
He undid the knot holding the tiny modesty towel in place—the pristine white fabric fell, and with it, so did Mydeimos's gaze.
“Oh,” Mydei answered eloquently, an odd expression crossing his face as he stared unabashedly, while Phainon, much more abashedly, allowed him to.
Be it through ignorance or wishful thinking, Phainon interprets Mydei's shamelessness as a direct provocation to settle the score between them, following the event of their ten-day, ten-night battle resulting in a draw.

Summary
At the end of the west wind, after all that has been said and done, Aglaea and Cipher are reunited. A thousand years of suppressed love and yearning overflows from Aglaea’s freshly-returned heart, and she longs to let Cipher know just how much she admires, loves and adores her.
[“You’ve suffered alone for so, so long,” she says, dipping a third finger into her, savoring the way her hips snap upward with a breathless whimper. “You’ve fought so hard, sacrificed so much, and I know that now. Amphoreus may not remember you as a hero, but I will.”]

Summers always tasted different for Mydei after that first one in Aedes Elysiae. What began as charity turned into rivalry, then affection, then jealousy—and finally, a longing shaped like a boy that glows like sunlight on frost.

Summary
“Do you understand the weight of your words?” Phainon asked him, his voice low and shaky.
Mydei stared back at him, thumb stroking unruly, slightly wet from tears, hair strands away from Phainon’s temple. Depending on his answer, there would be no turning back.
He had been deprived of affection and had fled it, taking refuge in violence. Now, he found out that he loved the thrill of being in Phainon’s arms as much as he loved the thrill of battle. Maybe, he would even learn to love it more.
Mydei almost dies again. As Hyacine is out of Okhema to assist at the Grove, a worried Phainon is left to tend to Mydei's wounds. A rare moment of intimacy, tenderness, and vulnerability between the two warriors during the flame-chase journey.

Summary
“Mydeimos.” Urgency swells in Phainon’s voice alongside dangerous, useless pride, and Phainon takes a step closer so their forehead almost touches, so Mydei can hear him even if his voice drops to a most quiet whisper.
Mydei crosses his arms, leaning into the doorway. Deliberately tilting his neck and presenting in a taunt, letting his own pheromones drift and turn into something less threatening, more tantalizing. Promises of rewards in the shape of his calloused hand around Phainon’s knot, if he just so behaves and recognizes Mydeimos’ superiority. Phainon’s laugh is a little delirious, his eyes are trained on the exposed patch of skin he’s provoked with.
“Puppy,” Mydei calls, and Phainon’s eyes snap back to his again, gorged with rare, unseen hunger—and something else. Want. Lust. He's a parched man and all he’s offered to slake the thirst is burning, red, salted ocean water. Mydei smirks. “Ask for it.”

Summary
Phainon looks like the type who knows what he’s doing: the type who makes sweet love, the kind that twists your stomach in fat knots and has your eyes swell up because you finally feel cared for, that breaks you down into unrecognisable pieces to be tossed at sea like ashes.
Mydeimos thinks of how many people Phainon’s hands have touched before him, younger and prettier than him, all gathered at the bottom of these breathtaking ocean eyes, and he thinks he’s not a people’s person but he could see himself becoming a Phainon’s person.

Summary
Then, a shift, a subtle movement. Phainon’s hips flex forward, nearer, a hardness settling between his ass cheeks - Phainon’s hardness.
“Pervert,” Mydei spits out, moving to try and get some space between them, but all it does is force Phainon to move with him, pushing his cock against his backside as he’s pulled even closer. “Do you enjoy fucking other alphas?” The way he says it is supposed to sound like an insult, cutting and judgemental, but instead, it comes out too spiteful to sound anything else but jealous.
“Only easy ones like you, sweetheart,” Phainon replies lightly, the pet name dripping with sarcasm as he purposefully grinds his cock against Mydei. “Now, are you finally going to pay me back?”

Summary
They’re deep in the ever night beyond Okhema when Mydei notices the subtle change in Phainon’s scent. Phainon has always smelled pleasant enough, aside from the disgusting musk that comes with him being another alpha, but now that musk is more pungent and the other notes more subdued.
“Deliverer,” Mydei says. Growls, really. He’s already annoyed. Phainon should’ve done this math before they left, and now they’re both about to be horribly inconvenienced. “Why are you going into rut?”
When Phainon's ruined suppressants cause him to go into rut unexpectedly, Mydei helps him through it.
