Summary
It was a cultural miscommunication. The product of a cultural difference. Phainon was certain of it. After all, Phainon had hardly been aware of the implications when he first arrived in Okhema. It wasn’t until he attended a class on Okheman theatre at the Grove and they were halfway through analysing a play script from Era Bellica that he was exposed to the symbolism for the first time.
The girl next to him had taken pity and timidly whispered the answer to his question.
Throwing apples was a ploy at seduction.
By the way Mydei happily crunched at the apple perfectly matched to the one he had thrown with every intention for Phainon to catch, and the lack of scandalised attention from the surrounding Kremnoans, tossing apples clearly did not carry the same meaning in Kremnos as it did in Okhema.
A cultural difference over apples leads to some self-inflicted torture on Phainon’s behalf. After all, if Mydei is ignorant to the symbolism then there’s no harm to Phainon indulging in a little fantasy.

Summary
When the merman Mydeimos saves the surface world's prince Phainon from dying at sea, he stumbles upon a conspiracy - one that aims to destroy his people. To stop it, Mydeimos will have to disguise himself as a surface dweller, infiltrate the Okheman royal palace, find the conspiracy's mysterious leader... and keep his own identity a secret from Phainon. Which would be much, much easier if Phainon wasn't so damn easy to fall for.
Or, a Phaidei Little Mermaid AU.

Summary
Phainon, the sunshine of Aedes Elysiae High School, has it all.
Popularity, talent, and a permanent grin conceal the hollowness he sometimes feels. He’s not a bookworm, but the town library has something that eases his emptiness. Maybe it’s the silence. Maybe it’s the smell of old pages.
Or maybe it’s the mysterious M who keeps replying to the notes he slips into borrowed books.
M writes with neat handwriting and fills the margins with adorable stickers or doodles that make Phainon grin like an idiot. Their exchanges grow from book reviews to little glimpses of their lives, until the letters they share feel like a secret world meant only for two.
Phainon tells himself he’s not falling for someone he’s never met. He’s just curious.
But he forgets that some stories don’t reveal their twist until he's already hooked.

Summary
“So what, you tutor me in math, how am I supposed to teach you philosophy?” Mydei grunts, crossing his arms.“No need. Our final grade will be based on a mock debate with the professor, and arguing with you is my daily exercise.”
Mydei huffs, what kind of foolish logic is that? Still, it sounds interesting, almost fun, and Mydei never says no to a battle of wits or might.
“You’re a strange man,” he simply says. “But alright, if I win, you promise to confess, honestly, to whichever girl you’re interested in. Whatever answer she gives you will accept without protest and then stop disturbing the cheerleading squad.”
Phainon draws himself to his full height so they are standing eye to eye, his blue eyes glittering with determination and delight.
“Fine. But if I win, you have to wear the girl’s cheerleading uniform.”Star quarterback Phainon is pining over a mysterious hottie on the cheerleading squad, whose identity he refuses to reveal. Not on Mydei’s watch, for the self proclaimed ‘Guardian of the cheerleading squad’ is convinced that the charming, charismatic playboy is up to no good.

Summary
He believed Mydei to be a civilian. One unfortunate enough to appear at the wrong place at the wrong time and became entangled in Phainon’s skirmish with the Cleaners.
Mydeimos’ disguise was hardly one that stood up to scrutiny. Perhaps Okhema’s heir apparent was more foolish than Mydeimos anticipated.
As the Crown Prince of Kremnos, Mydeimos has two aims as he secrets through the streets of a city he doesn’t care to know the name of: gather information on the enemy Flame-Chase Army, and avoid the Cleaners coming to stain the earth with his golden blood.
It was pure chance to encounter Phainon: the heir apparent and current leader of Okhema’s army, and Mydeimos’ current foe in the Chrysos War. But Mydeimos would never waste such a convenient opportunity to fulfil both of those aims in one fell swoop.

Deliverer: I think some introspection would do you well, Prince.
xPrince: I appreciate the concern, Deliverer, but I don't think pointing out the truth warrants such a thing.
Deliverer: I believe it does. You’re looking awfully pot shaped right now.
xPrince: ?
Deliverer: The idiom the pot calling the kettle black?
xPrince: Sorry the brain cells I have left from speaking with you were struggling to form a connection.
Deliverer: Accidental self burn?
xPrince: Focus on your leveling noob.
Deliverer: So you're resorting to name calling because you can't think of a good retort. Cute.

Mydei turns to face him, the puzzle snapping into place.
“And you think I wanted her?” Mydei asks, slowly, unable to conceal his disbelief. “You think I’d choose her as my bedmate?”
Phainon works his hands into fists before releasing them.
“No.” Then, his real answer, or at least one closer to the truth: “I don’t know.” A beat. “Would you?”
for the successful defense of a refugee caravan bound for Okhema, Mydei and Phainon receive an unexpected gift.

Summary
Mydeimos’s smile is sharp as he shrugs. “What’s your name again?”
“Phainon of—” Phainon cuts himself off, looking away. It doesn’t matter where he’s from. Not anymore. “Phainon.”
“Phainon of Nowhere,” Mydeimos says, and those words disembowel Phainon, cutting into his belly and slicing clean across it. “Come to bed with me. We have a show to put on.”
In the midst of an ongoing war between Okhema and Castrum Kremnos, Mydei's mother gifts him Phainon, an Okheman bed slave he neither wants nor needs. But there is more at stake for both Mydei and Phainon: between Gorgo's ploys, Eurypon's plans, and the advancing black tide, they are pulled between a growing desire for each other and the very fate of their world.

Summary
“Please don’t slam the books.” A stern voice cuts through the stillness.
Phainon jumps in fright, clutching at his chest to will his heartbeat to slow as he turns to face the person who interrupted his brooding. As soon as he takes in what’s before him, he forgets how to think.
A man stands across from him, arms folded neatly across his chest, watching him behind a pair of simple black frames that suggest he’s already written Phainon off as a lost cause. He’s sharp and poised, biceps bulging even beneath his loose-fitting jumper, and the worn edges of the neckline leave a sliver of his clavicle on display that Phainon can’t seem to look away from.

Summary
With his pure white hair and silver-white garb and armour, the young man stands in stark contrast to his surroundings, the holy city’s torches casting him in an almost ethereal glow. It is an image so out of place in the darkness of Amphoreus’ evernights, for the man is so radiant, so beautiful, so seemingly untainted in innocence, and so unlike the horrors and atrocities that Mydeimos has borne witness to during the time he's spent roaming the world.
He is certain he would be captivated by the sight, if not for the greatsword the man is holding, as well as the piercing stare from those bright—yet empty—blue eyes.

Mydei's and Phainon's first battle lasted ten nights. It sparked a connection that would last whole lifetimes.

Summary
Phainon was too young, too reckless, and too in love with the idea of saving everyone but himself. So when his kingdom decided to send his childhood friend as a peace offering to the tyrant king of Kremnos, Phainon did what no one expected.
He took her place.
Wrapped in gown and secrets, he expected humiliation or death. What he didn’t expect was to stand face to face with Mydeimos, the feared immortal king… who looked strangely familiar.
What started as a desperate bluff turns into something far more complicated. Between court politics, old wounds, and strange sparks neither of them dare name, Phainon finds himself caught in a situation that he had never imagined.
But hearts can be reckless. Promise is soul-binding.
And sometimes, the smallest choice rewrites everything.

“Why do they throw flowers?”
“They’re well-wishes,” Phainon answers. “Crocuses are for new beginnings, cyclamen are for love, colchicum for fidelity. They’re blessing the marriage.”
Mydei’s hand shifts a little lower, warm fingers circling Phainon’s wrist. “Your traditions are terribly sentimental.”
“Romantic,” Phainon corrects. “Just call them romantic.”

To save his people, Mydei strikes a deal. Aid in exchange for two things: the coreflame of Strife and his hand in marriage.Series

Summary
The way Riki sees it, he spends most of his time living below everyone’s radar, for better or for worse. Why not make it fun? His mother’s court is hardly the place for the cloak-and-dagger brand of intrigue that appeals to him; she makes a point of trying to be as open and honest with her people as possible. And Riki is tired of only ever burying his knife into the back of a stuffed dummy late at night, when none of the guards are around. He wants nothing more than to get out of the palace and do something real, where his talents actually matter.
