    Summary

    Sokka is born in the dead of winter with a red dragon curling down the left side of his back.

    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

    "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.

    Summary

    The mystery comes to its conclusion before the Verax Leo in Marmoreal Market. Phainon is not, unlike some of his colleagues, in the habit of damaging the city’s statuary. But if striking with Dawnmaker will satisfy his curiosity, he is willing to risk Aglaea’s displeasure.
    “My lord,” Verax Leo finally grumbles. “It concerns Kremnoan royalty.”
    Phainon’s expression sharpens. “...Has something happened to Mydeimos?”
    “No, Lord Phainon. Nothing like that,” The lion hesitates. “It’s... the princess.”

    Phainon comes to learn that Okhema is obsessed with a drag queen named "Princess of Castrum Kremnos," an extravagantly dressed performer who spends her weekends reducing audiences to laughter with a parody of the real Crown Prince. The crowd thinks it is the ultimate comedy act, happily joking that the princess and prince have never been seen in the same room.

    There is no such parody. Okhema thinks it sees a brilliant satire. Phainon thinks a mysterious performer has stolen the privilege of making fun of his rival. And Mydei is just trying to make sure no one notices that the prince and the princess share the exact same biceps.

    Summary

    He stares at the strange figure clad in black through the dancing flames.

    "Are you Death?" He asks, and the shadow flinches. A human-like reaction.

    It laughs and yet it sounds hollow. "You could say that." At Mydei's lack of laughter, the man quickly adds, "but, no. I am … human." He hesitates on the last word.

    Or, in an early cycle, Mydeimos never leaves the Sea of Souls and Phainon still comes for him.

    Summary

    The Black Tide is gone. The world is remade. And Phainon the Deliverer, the man who fulfilled prophecy, doesn’t know what to do with himself.

    Mydei, who has always seen him too clearly, drags him back to the ruins of Aedes Elysiae and says “We’re rebuilding this. Together.”

    (Or: how two men who fought side-by-side to save the world learn what they were fighting for.)

    Summary

    Phainon bathes alone, as a matter of necessity and discretion. But when Aglaea sentences him to share a bath with Mydei after they cause a commotion, Phainon realizes he's not the only man of his kind. Prince Mydei, his annoyingly attractive rival and sparring partner, has more in common with him than he imagined, and it pushes them closer together than ever.

    (Aglaea, of course, knows all of this. She suspects, too, what will happen when she sends them on a mission to Aidonia in the dead of winter.

    But really, what's a demigoddess of Romance good for, if not guiding her lonely proteges into increasingly intimate situations until they finally admit their feelings for each other?)

    Summary

    "Tell me this isn't about the prophecy," Mydei demands. "Tell me you're not sleeping with half of Okhema just to forget you're the fucking Deliverer."

    Phainon's mouth opens, but no sound comes out. The truth claws up his chest but won't come out: the fact that he needs this, needs to be reduced to something simpler than a title, something smaller than destiny.

    Mydei's eyes narrow, and Phainon realizes that he already knows.

    Of course he does. He's Mydei.

    "It is," Phainon admits at last, voice cracking. “I am.”

    Mydei rolls his hips down, his cock dragging alongside Phainon's. The answering groan that spills from Phainon’s throat is nothing like the practiced moans he gives strangers.

    "Then you ask me," Mydei growls. "From now on, when you need to forget, you come to me. Not some godsforsaken brothel."

    Summary

    If you were to ask the merfolk of Kremnos who is the strongest mer in the reef, you'd get one unified answer.

    "Definitely His Highness."

    And yet, when a brave soul—a merling of only twelve migrations—asks the strongest mer the same question, the ocean itself seems to pause out of bewilderment.

    "It's Phainon," Mydei answers without a lick of hesitation.

    Phainon, a forager of no particular lineage. Not one heart still swimming has ever seen that mer hold a weapon sharper than blunted shell sickles to harvest kelp with.

    Or, Phainon is gentle until he isn't.

    Summary

    Deliverer: Okay, I’ll bite. What is it that I'm looking for according to you?

    Strife600: To have someone take control so you can stop thinking for once.

    Yeah, curse this Strife guy. Phainon thinks, cheeks heating up embarrassingly fast at the accurate observation.

    It's surprisingly difficult to find someone who knows exactly how to hold you together by letting you fall apart, and the last place Phainon expects to find that person is during one of his streams.

    Life though, is full of surprises.

    Summary

    "I did not," Mydei said firmly. "Sleep with this … Phainon Khaslana."

    The sudden sound of a notification rang from his phone. Mydei pulled it out, swiping up, only to pause.

    Big Dick from ENG • now

    hey! mydei, right? this is phainon, from the frat party? sorry, i know it might seem weird to text you all out of the blue, but I had a lot of fun last night! i was wondering, maybe we could meet up?

    Mydei stared. Really, all he did was stare.

    "Oh god," he said. "Oh god, Cipher, fuck, I may have slept with Phainon Khaslana."

    Or, Mydei tries to prove that despite what he may have said in a drunken state—

    • He did not sleep with Phainon Khaslana, whoever that is.
    • Phainon Khaslana is not as … well-endowed as Mydei had decided to exaggerate while under the influence.
    • Phainon Khaslana does not have erectile dysfunction.

    Summary

    Mydeimos is the Kremnoan heir apparent and only son of King Eurypon, and to the victor of the Ceremonial Tournament of Betrothal will the spoils of his hand be won.

    Phainon, a peasant of Aedes Elysiae, infiltrates the Ceremony for one reason alone: to emerge victorious. Only then can he reroute the forces within the power-hungry nation away from its path threatening to conquer his idyllic homeland.

    Equipped with nothing but his wits and determination, Phainon knows he will need to procure allies deep within enemy lines if he ever hopes to prevail. What he doesn't expect is the emergent relationship he fosters with Mydeimos himself, and the layers of love and betrayal that reveal themselves the deeper he delves into the heart of his destined mission.

    Summary

    An annoying little voice in her head, suspiciously reminiscent of a familiar white haired man, whispered, Mydei's obviously showing symptoms of pregnancy. He's done it, Phainon's defied biology, he's put a baby in him.

    Hyacine rushed to say, “But you’ve been snacking a lot more, haven’t you? It can’t just be a regular disease, seeing as the nausea hasn't inhibited your appetite, but made it bigger.”

    “So you agree then,” Mydei said, and a radiant grin erupted on his face as though Hyacine had just shared brilliant news. “It is something within my body.”

    A few months after Hyacine thinks she is finally free from third-wheeling Phainon and Mydei, Mydei falls pregnant.

    Summary

    It truly was impressive to see just how hopeless that man was for to Mydei. All anyone had to do was bring up the prince’s name, and Phainon’s ears would perk up like he had just heard a crucial detail to attack in a debate.

    In fact, Hyacine mused, you probably didn’t even have to bring up Mydei's name. Phainon would inevitably derail any conversation into an ode to his muse’s greatness.

    Hyacine as she observes (against her will) the strange relationship between Phainon and Mydei over the years.

    Summary

    Calm down, she told herself repeatedly, forcing all those inappropriate thoughts of bouncing breasts and swollen lips from her mind. You're still at work. You need to behave. Don't you dare—

    An awful moan nearly bit through her clenched teeth as a pair of wandering hands trailed low enough to toy with the back of her wrinkled skirt hem, pressing heavy fingerprints into the meat of her thighs.

    "What are you doing?" Phainon whispered, low and harsh as her breath grew uneven once more.

    CEO Mydeimos gives her dearest secretary a much-deserved reward for her hard work—in a very public, very crowded elevator of all places.

    "Do you have work for me, or are you simply gawking like the rest?"

    Work. Monsters to be vanquished or demons to fight. One doesn't hire a witcher unless they're desperate.

    Phainon shivers. "Not work," he says, watching the witcher blink, breathe, study him. From his mannerisms alone, he reminds Phainon of a half-tamed animal. Alert, keenly aware of everything. They say witchers can smell fear. What, then, does he smell on Phainon? "But I have another request."

    "Speak, then."

    He inhales, swipes his tongue over his lips to taste the rainwater on them. "When you set off," Phainon says, "take me with you."
    |
    Mydei just wants to fight monsters, collect his paycheck, and move on to the next miserable village and the next miserable client with something to slay. Phainon would do anything it takes to grow stronger and escape his past, even follow a witcher around. Neither of them was ever meant to fall in love.
