Summary
Every eighty years, the people of Aedes Elysiae sacrifice a young woman to the ancient being which haunts their forest-bound village. It is the only way to protect everything they hold dear, to keep the shadows that once ate the rest of the world from eating them too.
After centuries of this uneasy peace, it appears the creature's tastes in food have changed.
Now it is Phainon who will be given to the one too terrible to name.

Summary
When the Gods fell millennia ago, Phainon had fallen with them.
Now he is the last. A remnant of times long ago, a fragment of divinity cast to the mortal world and tied to the great God-Kings of Sak-Kahn-Ko. He is theirs to do as they please; to serve each father and son and son of his son, unageing, undying, unchanging. He does not see the sun rise each day. He does not see it set.
Come a springtime he can only hear in the sigh of the wind, the God-King he serves has guests to visit. Many guests, from all corners of the mapped world, there to pledge allegiance to Sak-Kahn-Ko, to bow to the one great enough to own a God.
But one guest is strange. He does not look to Phainon’s humiliation with glee or envy or pride. He does not look at all.
Mydeimos of Castrum Kremnos looks, instead, to the God-King he must bow to; and he looks with anger, at the one who owns the divine. He looks with rage.

Summary
“Castrum Kremnos will never bow to you,” Mydei snarls, and he spits on the laden feast table below in open defiance.
The Good Prince only laughs - a sound as light and beautiful as dawn’s soft breaking on the sea.
“I do not want Castrum Kremnos to bow to me, Princess. I want you to bow to me.” A hand in his hair arches Mydei's back and forces him to face their audience. “And you will.”
alternatively: The Crown Prince of Castrum Kremnos is taken as a spoil of war by the conquering Kingdom of Elysiae.
The Good Prince is a man as patient as he is terrifying; and Mydei fears, with each passing day of captivity, that no-one would be strong enough to weather this endless cruelty and escape with their body and mind intact.
He certainly isn't.

Bookmarker's Notes
Valió la pena quedarme hasta las 4am para terminar de leer el fic? Sí, la verdad sí
Y como dice su autor la verdad que podría tener un mal día pero Mydei la pasaba peor, así que no tengo una semana tan mala al parecer 🥹 -

Summary
“What’s the meaning of this?!” He asks, trying to compose himself, but he’s still pretty slow due to the remaining alcohol in his system. Alhaitham uses this to his advantage, and pulls Cyno’s arms away from his body, pinning both wrists to the mattress as he hovers over the smaller man.
They stare at each other for a moment before Cyno speaks again.
“I must warn you that I’ve eliminated people without using my arms before.” He threatens, his red eyes glowing brightly in the dark.
“I am aware.” Alhaitham acknowledges. “However, if you really wanted to kill me in such a manner, you would have done so already.”
