Zuko is born in the sweltering heat of summer with a sword down his spine.

He doesn’t want to talk about it when their gazes turn on him. They make assumptions— is it someone he left behind in the Fire Nation? He looks away when he agrees with them.
Toph brushes past him when they all part ways. She says, “I know you’re lying.”

Summary
"Chiron only trains heroes." He repeats the same words from that day. "It’s not something you choose.”
"And you are one?"
The question stung. Mydeimos’ jaw tightened. "It was foretold."
“Right. Foretold,” Phainon scoffed, as if it were a minor detail. “Well, no one’s foretold anything about me, so I guess I have to make my own way.”
One trained by fate, the other chasing it. The gods, of course, remain entertained.
Chiron watches them both, and wonders how many ways a heart could break.Or; Ancient Greece—Mydeimos and Phainon grow up together in the forest, undergoing a decade of training to become heroes.

Summary
Mydei kicked her sandals off by the door and shifted the supplies in her hands.
“My apartment’s water isn’t working. I’m gonna use your bathroom to get this done,” she said, already moving towards the bathroom like it was settled.
“Ah. Of course,” Phainon said, a little too quickly.
She never had any issue with Mydei being over. If anything, she liked how natural it felt, how Mydei kept ending up in her space more and more lately. Sometimes Phainon caught herself thinking it would make sense if she just gave Mydei a key. Usually she told herself to stop being embarrassing right after.
She hovered for a second, then tilted her head.
“Since you’re here though, I feel like the least you could do in exchange is let me help you dye it.”
Or: Phainon dyes Mydei’s hair, and then her bush. It leads to them doing other things (each other).

Summary
Perdikkas comes into view, stepping closer to blink down at Phainon and Mydei on the ground. “You’re all here?”
Ptolemy scoffs, kicking lightly at the dirt. “Guess who has the extraordinary pleasure of being assigned the babysitting duty to the dumbass trio over here?” He rolls his eyes with a sharp sigh. “Not Peucesta, clearly. Lucky bastard.”
“Don’t lump me in with them,” Hephaestion protests. Ridiculous. Everyone knows who instigates the fights just as often as Phainon and Mydei.
“We don’t need babysitting,” Phainon says at the same time, words muffled as Mydei’s hand smashes his head into the ground, resuming their fight now that Ptolemy is distracted. Phainon almost bites down on the dirt by accident.
or; Phainon finds Mydei drifting at the Sea of Souls after Aedes Elysiae is destroyed. Pulling the other kid out of the water might be the best decision of his life

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.
