    Summary

    "I am tired of not knowing myself. Teach me how to come alive, because this emptiness is suffocating me and I yearn to reach for the sun."
    ----
    There’s a hole in Caelus' mind these days. It aches with serrated teeth and yearns to devour anything in its path—and so Caelus leaves Amphoreus knowing not what he's lost before even the Memoria Tide, only that he *lost* it.
    A letter finds the Express: addressed to Caelus, it suggests an arranged marriage between himself and the Luofu's High Elder Dan Feng.
    In thwarting destiny, Caelus finds that the answer to a question he doesn't know how to ask has stood on the Luofu for millennia, waiting for the day where Caelus might remember the star he once stepped out of so long ago.
    And maybe if Caelus accepts the proposal, he might learn what made him want to live so bad that he had to die for it.
    ----
    An AU where Dan Feng didn't get subjected to the Horrors™ of the Shackling Prison, and never joined the Astral Express.

    Summary

    "Somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly broken thing... and take away its pain."

    On multiple occasions throughout their relationship, Drifter found themself bound up in Roathe's mind - Descendia notwithstanding - watching unfold some of the worst of his memories. Roathe knew the Void devils could calm a mad Warframe; he simply did not want to consider himself among those that needed that calming.

    Summary

    As soon as Phainon stepped foot into the garden, his eyes immediately zeroed on Mydei sitting in the sea of bright flowers. His parents were beside him, quietly talking to each other.

    Phainon’s breath hitched but before he could walk away and try another day, Beagle Coconut broke away from the mini chimera formation at Phainon’s legs with an excited shriek as soon as it spotted Fig Stew sleeping near Mydei. It barreled into the poor creature, talking a mile per minute and ignoring Fig Stew’s sleepy hissing and bristling fur. Beagle Coconut’s blue eyes sparkled like two little stars as it relayed everything that happened to it in the short time they were separated.

    Phainon felt himself die a little inside. Was that how he acted when he was away from Mydei for a few days?

    a strange curse had befallen the newly restored Amphoreus causing all of her people to wake up with breathing, living manifestations of their emotions. Phainon tries to deal with it the best way he can but it's hard, not only because he, for some reason, has three manifestations but also because now he has no choice but to face the true emotions of people closest to him. specifically... Mydei's.

    Summary

    Caelus starts noticing that Dan Heng has become strange around him in a way that goes beyond his usual quiet protectiveness. He is always there, always watching, always tense whenever Caelus slips out of sight. What begins as confusion turns into something much more dangerous and much more tender when Dan Heng is finally forced to admit the truth. His Vidyadhara instincts have fixated on Caelus. Protective, possessive, deeply territorial, and humiliatingly affectionate, they keep driving him to gather pieces of Caelus close and build a hidden nest around the one thing his dragon mind has decided is most precious.

    Caelus should probably be alarmed. Instead, he is fascinated. As Dan Heng’s control begins to fray, Caelus finds himself drawn deeper into the parts of him that are usually hidden away. Horns, scales, ancient instincts, quiet yearning, and all the soft terrifying want Dan Heng does not know how to ask for.

    Or Dan Heng’s dragon instincts decide Caelus is his treasure, and Caelus reacts to that information with far less self-preservation than he probably should.

    Summary

    When he turns around, it's him, standing there, and when he looks back down it's still him lying dead on the ground in his own blood. One Caelus, the foreign Caelus, standing behind him in the rubble, face gone pale as he looks at the sight before him. One Caelus, the familiar Caelus, on the ground, gone.

    or: The time traveler that follows Dan Heng around has to have the worst sense of timing he's ever seen.
