Summary
Then, a cry tears through his ears. Wordless, primal, enraged, pained, stripped of joy and humor. But by the damned Titans, it's alive, like nothing else in Strife's hell. He is alive. Phainon is alive. But he has not ascended. Mydei can mourn that when Phainon is free.
Mydei rescues Phainon from Strife's trial. They rescue each other from its aftermath, as best as they can.

Summary
狐假虎威: the fox assumes the tiger's power
When the Sacrifice Summon ritual goes wrong, Mo Xuanyu assumes his chance at revenge and freedom is gone. However, he still has bound Wei Wuxian's ghost to him, and together they make a plan: Mo Xuanyu will pretend to be fully possessed by the Yiling Laozu, they'll get rid of the Mo family, and then Mo Xuanyu will be miraculously "cured" and excused of all wrongdoing when a cultivator tries to exorcise him. What could go wrong?
Steps one and two go fine. Step three gets tricky when the cultivator who shows up is Hanguang-jun, who seems very uninterested in any exorcisms and very interested in "Wei Wuxian." It becomes even more complicated when Mo Xuanyu realizes he's stumbled into the middle of a star-crossed romance: and worst of all, that he's falling too.

Summary
Then a man walks past him, he looks at him, and a swooping sensation in his gut says yes. It isn’t the vampire part of him. He’s just… really pretty. Really Martin’s type. Short and small, neat and well put together, tired and professional, with perfect posture and a quick, impatient stride. He looks like he works in an office. He looks about a decade older than Martin. He looks important, and dignified, and hot. In that very particular way that Martin’s always been into.
Not that… not that attractiveness should have anything to do with picking a meal. Oh, it sounds bad to call people meals. Victims? Even worse.
Martin should in fact not pick this man, specifically because of how attracted he is to him. It would be the responsible thing to do.
Except he’s already following him. And he’s hungry.

Summary
Sometimes Martin envies type A people their extensive vocabulary of subvocalizations. They get to use their subvocal suite to communicate perfectly reasonable things, like back off and that's mine and hello sexy. Unlike Martin, whose subvocals exist for the sole purpose of making him sound like the biggest, whiniest baby. Especially when he's coming up on a heat.
Martin keeps it under wraps as best he can, but there's only so long he can hold it in. So, sometimes, after a long workday, Martin double-checks that everyone else has left the archives, makes sure the door at the top of the stairs is locked, and lets loose a bit. Throws himself a little pity party. He's entitled to it. He's earned it.
Specifically, it's the kind of pity party that involves relaxing the muscles of his throat, feeling the vibrating thrum building up behind his teeth, and exhaling out a mournful trill of hello? I'm here? Is anyone there? I'm here. I'm all alone.

Summary
“Why come you to the realm of the dead?” Death asks, and Phainon doesn’t know how to answer.
Because Aglaea sent him. Because an entire people rely on him for salvation. Because the Flame-Chase is failing in their duty to protect Amphoreus from the relentless progress of Castrum Kremnos’s war machine. None of those responses are good enough; Death will demand more of him—more truth, more vulnerability.
“We need the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos to turn the tide of the war,” he says.
To stop the advance of Eurypon's war machine on Okhema, Phainon descends into the underworld to bring the long-dead Mydeimos back to life.
