    Summary

    A canon-adjacent exploration of Phainon and Mydei's relationship, with slight divergences in minor details.

    Explicitly switch/versatile inclusive. Involves trauma, violence, poor mental health, death, and the doomed nature of the relationship—but also the conscious choice to love anyways, even in the face of fate.

    Series direction will be determined by the events of canon. The author makes no promises, but would very much like to be able to give this a happy, or at least hopeful, ending.

    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

    Mydei doesn't think much of it when his class is one minute late.

    But as the clock on his wall ticks away, signalling that now—after losing himself in deep thought over how to handle today's lesson—it's currently ten past the hour, he finally starts getting suspicious. It's normal for classes to overrun on occasion, gods, even he's even done it before. However, it's an entirely different thing when it's this much time that's gone by without any prior notice. Mydei pushes his glasses back up onto the bridge of his nose, as they've gradually slid down while he was staring at the worksheets on his desk.

    He sighs, glancing at the clock once again. Two more minutes, he promises himself, and then he'll go figure out where the hells his class has disappeared off to.

    Summary

    “Glad to see you back among the living,” Phainon says through a yawn, clearly having spent the night in the uncomfortable chair in the infirmary by Mydei’s side. Like he often does.

    Mydei’s head hurts. Just the regular kind of pain, easily managed by ignoring it until it goes away. But what makes it worse, is the confusion at his predicament. The memories returning to him in death used to vary in time and people who appeared in them. Why is it always Phainon nowadays?

    “Fuck you,” Mydei says, hoarsely. He feels like he is losing his mind.

    Phainon’s mouth locks mid-yawn and he blinks down at him stupidly, tilting his head with confusion. It’s probably fair, he hasn’t even done anything to earn Mydei’s ire as of late.

     

    or; Human brain lives for a few more minutes after dying, replaying the most cherished memories. Mydei starts seeing Phainon after each of his deaths.

    Summary

    “Oh, now you’re saying being paired with me means luck’s rotten?”

    “That’s what you’ve implied.”

    “Now, that’s not what I said at all in no moment of this conversation. You’re always putting words in my mouth.”

    “Putting words in your mouth? If you don’t want to be misinterpreted, you should start speaking directly,” this time, it was Mydei who got closer to Phainon, having to look slightly up to maintain the eye contact. “So much for the debate champion, seems you can only talk in riddles.”

    Or, Phainon starts having wet dreams about the man who keep getting on his nerves.
