Summary
Dion is helpless to stop this blaze. He does not know which of them initiates the kiss – the Phoenix, Bahamut, or the humans imprisoned within. All he knows is a yearning that has lasted thousands of years. Their teeth and tongues clash like blades, a battle which Dion is doomed to lose. His hands yearn to touch, to tear, to take, and yet he is powerless to move, hopelessly entangled in the Phoenix’ wings.
“You are mine”, the Phoenix’ heat presses against his lips, his body a furnace. “Mine, Dion. Swear it. Upon my name.”
After Twinside, Dion Lesage seeks death. In the flames of the Phoenix, he finds life.

Summary
"Dion’s countenance eases when their gazes meet, and Joshua feels it again. The Phoenix’s feathers tickling beneath his skin, ruffling with something undefinable that causes his grip on his senses to unravel. He wants to turn tail and flee; open his wings and fly up into the storm clouds in some irrational, hysterical hope that Bahamut might give chase. He wants to fall into his arms and sob like a babe; press their foreheads together so that he may finally read the truth in those honey-brown eyes."
After returning from Stonhyrr, Joshua's feelings for Dion are a messy knot, tangling him up in what could be, and what could never be. Those lingering regrets, those festering fears, and— perhaps most bewilderingly of all—a deep, dizzying desire.
During a moment alone, Dion surprises him by initiating something that spins them both into something new - but in the depths of his heart, Joshua knows that it’s fleeting.
Written for the 2023 PhoenixFlare Secret Santa exchange (Prompt: First Kiss).

THE PROSE IN THIS IS SO WONDERFUL !!!!! JOSHUA YEARNING JUST AS DESPERATELY IS THE GREATEST

Summary
Joshua can’t say what possesses him in that moment, just that it's carnal and instinctual, and he wouldn’t have been able to stop it even if he tried. He brings his hand up and back down against Dion’s ass. The crack of his palm echoes in their small bedroom. Silence follows.
A pitiful, broken sound tumbles right out of Dion’s chest. “Again,” he hisses. “Do it again, Joshua.”

Summary
Buckling under the pressure of holding Waloed back at Belenus Tor, Dion is irresistably drawn to a new healer who has joined the war camp under a shroud of mystery. But the more time he spends with "Margrace", the more he is inescapably reminded of someone from his past... and the more he questions the role he is expected to fulfill.
(AU where Joshua decides to approach Dion in 873 before the fall of Drake's Head.)

Summary
Sometime in the night he wakes with a hand outstretched, aiming past the glass ceiling into the black beyond. He is artificial; he is two lives; he is the ideals of the prince; he is the prince; he is king. He is something to be feared.
There was a part of him that believed that he would die killing Louis. There is a part of him forever stuck in that past, those battles, even as time continues its relentless march and leaves him to embrace his kingly duties in the hopes of creating a utopia against all the forces working against him.
They’ve made it to the end, lives intact. His friends are with him. Strohl may love him.
Will… struggles to trust that. The dawn, laughing from its place high above, arrives regardless.
or: the seasons in between the first and second journey which, unfortunately for will, are journeys all in of themselves.

Summary
Quietly, then, they'd laughed together late into the night over two - or perhaps three, Joshua could not discern - bottles of spiced wine Joshua had snagged from the bar. Dion had weakly attempted to chastise him for using his magic to heat their mugs, but then had easily partaken of an entire bottle by himself. The room smelled wonderfully of cinnamon and apples, wine and burning ozone, of sandalwood - of Dion.

Joshua and Dion enjoy a cozy evening together. It turns out Dion is a bit handsy in his sleep... -

Summary
He's an interesting enigma, this 'Margrace'. So much so that the longer he's employed here at camp, the more rumors sprout, one right after the other. Dion, however, likes to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, especially towards a person as helpful and kind as their newest healer.
Although, there's just something about him that seems... oddly familiar...
