Summary
The waters were red. Not with the blood of a gutted fish but the hues of the setting sun sinking into the sea, yet only in one particular spot. As though there was a blaze in the depths, rising to the surface and bringing something else with it.
Golden hair that burned red towards the ends and floated in the water all around, flickering like flames with the bob of the waves. A pale forehead. The arch of eyebrows. The dark fan of wet eyelashes.
Two eyes bright eyes stared back.
He raised his hand in a little wave and forced a smile. “Hello. My name is Phainon. Are you a sea fairy?”
While exploring the coasts of Aedes Elysiae, Phainon chances upon a young siren by the name of Mydeimos just before he disappears beneath the sea foam he came from.
Phainon is determined to see him again, even if it means spending every day searching the shores for a glimpse of red and gold amongst the waves.
Yet when Mydeimos finally resurfaces it isn’t with a siren song to take Phainon under with him. But golden blood dripping from a blackened wound and no one to care for him.

Summary
There were lots of other things that made it difficult to imagine living anywhere else. Precious photos and memorabilia. His favourite snacks stocking the pantry and fridge. The plants he had affectionately named and nurtured.
The locking mechanism on the front doors.
He had permission to leave today, so the exterior door scanned the microchip in his choker and the red light flashed green with the whir of the locking system. It opened now and would open when he returned but if he attempted to leave again afterwards then the doors would remain locked.
When Mydeimos is a shining rockstar upon the stage, capturing the hearts of millions, someone has to protect him from the depraved ingrates that flock to him just the same.
It’s a role Phainon claims for himself, and Mydei always rewards him for a job well done.

Summary
A man slid onto the barstool beside him, face hidden in the cowl of a long dark cloak. He pulled his hood back to reveal features that were harshly ascetic, a stern mouth and the clever golden eyes of a hawk. "I am High Inquisitor Dominicus. I have been looking for you, demon."
Aventurine laughed, bright and musical, a flurry of dissonant notes. He had just been considering who tonight's prey should be, and here he was offering himself up like the finest of morsels. Not just any priest, but the High Inquisitor himself, what a prize.

Summary
Will breathes hard against his lips for an eternity, familiar and sated, the silence around them unbroken, until—
“I wish this was real.”
James flinches.
“It is,” he promises. “It is real.”
