    Summary

    “What have I told you about handling unfamiliar flora without proper precautions, especially in this area?”

    “I know.” Phainon swallows hard, transported back to his student days earning a demerit. “I just wanted to pick some flowers for you.”

    After a night neither of them planned for, Phainon is forced to confront his insecurities about what he means to Anaxa.

    Summary

    Phainon maneuvers himself higher up the bed, laying his head onto the pillow.

    His throat feels tight and dry, like he's about to cough up sand: one deep breath, two deep breaths.

    Three, four, five, six.

    Phainon's eyes close as he feels himself calming down.

    Sleep takes him instantly.

    Just after the death of Aglaea, Phainon throws himself into her unfinished work out of guilt and grief of the recent departures of his loved ones, hoping to live up to the expectations she viewed him with and to cope, albeit unhealthily.

    It comes to a point where he's unable to be awake any longer and is promptly ordered to rest.

    Nightmares of Aedes Elysiae have always plagued him, making him fearful to sleep—yet when he shuts his eyes this time, he dreams of his beloved professor who seems to be a bit different than how he truly remembers.

    made for the phainaxa minibang, in collaboration with my wonderful partner for the project, ella (@Sweeetcakess), who did the beautiful art!

    Summary

    When artist-turned-office-worker Phainon attends the funeral of his former mentor, the infamously uncompromising painter Anaxagoras, the last thing he expects is to see the man’s ghost standing beside the casket. Trapped in limbo with “unfinished business” Anaxa is convinced the key to moving past this life lies somewhere in his chaotic artistic legacy.

    Phainon, unconvinced, ends up dragging the stubborn spirit through experiences Anaxa never let himself have in life, hoping they might find answers there instead. As they retrace the shape of something they’d lost and thought was long gone between them, Anaxa begins to wonder if what’s keeping him here might have little to do with the work he left behind after all.
