    Summary

    A royal child is stolen not by death, but by fate.

    Prince Mydei, heir to the shapeshifting lion lineage of Castrum Kremnos, is presumed slain after an assassination that leaves the kingdom in uproar. But Mydei survives—wounded, stripped of identity, lost in wild lands far beyond his empire. There, in the sacred little town of Aedes Elysiae, he is discovered not as a prince, but as a battered lion cub by a young farmer named Phainon, whose compassion begins to thaw the feral rage coiled in Mydei’s heart.

    What begins as wary caretaking slowly evolves into trust, then tenderness, then something neither yet has words for.

    Summary

    “Khaslana, my dearest child, my finest creation.”

     

    The divine voice echoes around him not like one, but a thousand – distorted and vast.

     

    “̶…̴y̶o̵u̶…̵d̷e̷s̴t̷r̵o̴y̶ ̷t̵h̵e̵m̸…̸f̴o̸r̵ ̶m̴e̷?̷”̷

     

    Words entering his ears and splintering into countless, repeating ones.

     

    ‘If your heart cries not for your brethren up in the skies, but the dusts that cover the earth below, what need do you have for those wings?’

     

    The sunfire tears through his back with its golden-white blaze.

     

    And Phainon falls from the heavens.

    Angels hadn't descended upon the lands of Amphoreus for years, though vestiges of their divine guidance persisted.

    And all Mydei wanted was to live out his quiet life in his quaint cottage in the woods with his animals. Far away from the angels and their business.

     

    Until one crashes into his backyard.

    Summary

    “Wh… what did you do to me?” he mumbled, swallowing thickly as he struggled to lift his head.

    The woman looked down at him with pity, as if this was hurting her too. As if she regretted him too.

    “A lesson,” she said, voice lowly and soft. Slowly, she knelt in front of him, her slender hand curling around his chin and lifting it up. “You know so little of the world, young one, and yet you let hurt and misunderstandings burn you with such terrifying vitriol. Let this curse be your teacher; should the day you find forgiveness and understanding in your heart again and you rectify what you have broken with your own hands be the day you are allowed back into society. Until then, your monstrous actions will carve a new vessel for you to wander through the wilderness with.”

    (or: Diluc is cursed by Alice to become a beast after nearly killing his brother and must learn to forgive and love again to become human once more)

    Summary

    After diving into the Century Gate with Kephale’s Coreflame, Phainon finds himself not in the Vortex of Genesis but on the Heavenly Throne of Celestia. Meanwhile the Shining Shades of the Primordial One are confronted with a younger version of their master, healed of his wounds yet seemingly missing over seven millennia worth of memories.

    Summary

    At the cusp of defeat, Shadow Milk gets transported to a backwards world: Dark Enchantress was sealed away before she could do any lasting damage, the Beasts never came to be, and the Ancients rule over an otherwise peaceful world.

    Oh, and apparently his counterpart is dead and hailed as a hero. Because his life wasn’t already complicated enough.

    OR

    What happens when the guy who basically saved all of cookiekind comes back as an evil, corrupted version of himself?

    Healing. Healing is what happens…hopefully.
