    Summary

    "I don't do this." Mydei growls. If he was blushing before, he was a holy flame now.

     

     

     

    "Do what, men?" Phainon asks.

     

     

     

    "No, this." Mydei says and makes some gesture between them, some hourglass of time taken and given and taken again, of warm feelings and softening looks... some gesture that means the things his body aches for around Phainon when he has taught it to want nothing.

     

     

     

    Phainon pulling away completely to get a better look at him is (after his home and his family, his people and his pride) the new worst thing that has ever happened to him, except maybe that cursed wine.

     

     

     

    "You're, and I cannot be getting this right, you're a virgin?"

     

     

     

    Mydei is going to kill him.

    Summary

    “Why do you think you’re from a different world?” Mydei asks.

    “Last night, I went to sleep in the same bedroom as you in the house we've had since last year,” Phainon says. “This morning, I woke up in an unfamiliar room that looks like it was built a thousand years ago. You weren’t in bed with me, there wasn’t a wedding band on my finger, and”—his eyes flicker to Mydei’s chest, a fiery blush blooming on his face—“you’re half-naked.”

    “We sleep together?” Mydei asks, surprised.

    Phainon deadpans.

    “We’re married.”

    (Phainon finds himself in a modern Amphoreus where he and Mydei have been married for years. Mydei finds himself with a Phainon that claims the two of them are married.)

    Summary

    A single feather from the wing of a man born in Aedes Elysiae is said to be a panacea. Phainon gives his feathers away too freely, and Mydei takes issue with it.

    Summary

    “So that’s how it’ll be,” Phainon murmurs. He grips Mydei’s chin tight, forcing him to hold eye contact. It’s rare that he looks like this. Challenged. Frustrated. Only when he's in the dirt with a hand to his throat. His thumb drags Mydei’s bottom lip down, hooks behind his teeth as he says, “that’s fine. I don’t have to be nice if that’s not what you need.”

    There's a reason why Mydei doesn't want to become king.

    Summary

    After saving the world, Phainon finally gets to learn how many goddamn words are actually missing in the Kremnoan language.

    The first thing Phainon does is take a bath. He kind of deserves it after saving the planet, okay.

    ...The second thing he does is visit a library.

    Phainon's lips lift as he spies a man sitting calmly in a nook hidden between the bookshelves, tome in hand.

    There's so much he wants to say.

    Stayed alive after all, Guardian?
    It's been a while, hasn't it?
    I thought I'd never see you again.
    ...I missed you.

    Phainon says,
    “So, will you teach me that language of yours?”
