    Summary

    Alhaitham was a man who valued his privacy. Here are two secrets that he sincerely hopes are hidden relatively well:

    One, in his spare time, he writes novels—specifically, romance novels;

    And two, while he hadn’t originally intended it, the two title characters are loosely based on him and Kaveh…whom he has only recently realized he may have feelings for.

    He can thank his editor for that second part.

    ____________________________

    Through somewhat strange circumstances, Alhaitham anonymously becomes one of Sumeru's most popular writers. This wouldn't be a problem in itself if it wasn't for the fact that the two main characters are based on himself and the roommate who despises him, that he'd apparently been writing a romance this entire time, and that, as it turned out, one of his biggest fans...

    ...is Kaveh.

    Summary

    Phainon takes everything back- this man is the rudest she’s ever met. She straightens, the gold of Dawnmaker glinting.

    “You’ve an interesting way of showing gratitude,” she remarks, her tone dry enough to parch the air between them.

    He chuckles, wiping monster blood from his gauntlet onto the hem of his robe as though the fabric were no finer than rags. “Gratitude is for the weak. Kremnos teaches strength, not pleasantries.” His eyes flick over her, from the dust on her boots to the fire in her gaze. “And you… You’re far too polished to be wandering these lands alone. Tell me, Phainon of Aedes Elysiae- how many heads has your weapon taken?”

    Phainon bristles. “Enough to know when to step in and save a fool who doesn’t notice a beast at his back.”

    That earns her a bark of laughter, unrestrained and loud, echoing across the silent battlefield. His men exchange wary glances, clearly unused to anyone speaking to him this way.

    ~

    OR; With the rising threats of the Black Tide, Lady Aglaea sends Phainon as a representative of the Chrysos Heirs, and Okehma, to strike an alliance with Castrum Kremnos. She will forever thank Aglaea.

    Summary

    After yet another sold-out show, the lead singer of the famous pop-rock band Chrysos Heirs sinks back into his own loneliness. Behind Khaslana’s brilliant stage persona, the beloved "sun" of the crowd, hides Phainon: an exhausted, insecure young man suffocated by imposter syndrome.

    On the other side of town, Mydei lives on the brink of burnout, dividing his time between Culinary classes at the University of Okhema and part-time jobs to support his dreams (and his obsession with his favorite band).

    When a job reassignment accidentally lands him as the housekeeper in his own oshi’s apartment, Mydei is confronted with the raw reality behind the myth. Facing a national treasure who is visibly malnourished and living in total darkness, Mydei decides he won't let him waste away. Even if it means crossing every professional boundary with hot meals, bento boxes, and yellow sticky notes.

    or

    In which Mydei (accidentally) starts a rescue project to keep his favorite idol from starving to death (and falls in love in the process).

    Summary

    "You’re worried about something."

    A statement, not a question, because of course Mydei knows. Could read him like an open book. To Mydei, Phainon is bad at hiding his expression, though Phainon is sure it’s not the case for most people but Mydei and maybe Aglaea and the Tribios.

    “It’s nothing important,” Phainon says, because it’s true, technically. Articles and comments written by people who don’t know them—him—shouldn’t matter.

    Phainon spirals, and Mydei is there to catch him.
