    Summary

    Phainon’s favorite restaurant in Okhema also employs Phainon’s favorite person in Okhema. It’s simply too bad no one else in the city has the good taste to agree with him on either count.

    or, the one where Phainon’s favorite restaurant is transparently a Chrysos Heirs mob front.

    Summary

    “Intra-Cognition is null. Responds only to destructive stimuli.”

    The sentence barely registers in Mydei’s mind as he stares at the shadow of the man who was once Phainon, who sits completely still in a chair, dull eyes staring sightlessly ahead.

    “Damage to mind function detected… Possibly irreversible…”

    The Antikytheran-like man continues reading through the digitized logs impartially, as if merely reciting a speech. But every single word he says drives another stake into Mydei’s heart.

    Mydeimos the Undying scarcely bowed his head, rarely lowered himself onto his knees, and never, ever begged. And yet he finds himself doing all three things now, before the broken shell of his beloved.

    ---

    Irontomb’s birth is prevented, and Amphoreus is saved. But it’s at great cost to Phainon, whose psyche finally crumbled under the devastating damage to his mind, body, and heart.

    But Mydei and the other Chrysos Heirs will not accept this outcome. For what is a dawn without the sun?

    Summary

    Phainon wakes to his Phaidei account exploding with notifications, a small war in his comments section, and half the people convinced he’s running the Phaidei account, with the top reply being:

    Deliberber @phaifan33550336
    replying to @phaidei
    Dawg look at my deliverer shipping himself with Mydeimos we’re cooked

    It’s enough for him to click on his Weaver account in a frenzied panic, scroll to the settings, and click “delete”—mashing all the buttons, captchas, and “deletes” until he finally sees the “This account no longer exists” on his page.

    “Oh my god,” he mutters, heart racing. He chucks his teleslate on his bed and flops back down.

    (In which Phainon, an idol, attempts to run a fan account shipping himself with his childhood best friend, Mydeimos—another idol.)

    Summary

    “What conclusion have you come up with?”

    “Human custom would point to love,” Flins notes. Varka will laugh it off easily enough. Flins will suffer a moment of embarrassment, and it won’t matter at the end of the night. But his teeth ache and something stirs in his stomach, pulling at him, whispering something that sounds unfairly like mine.

    A low, soft hum. “And what of the fae?” Varka asks.
    |
    Flins doesn't want to love like a monster. Varka just wants him, however he is.
