    Summary

    Phainon, Lord of the Underworld, had been watching from the shadows between worlds for weeks. He was tired of the eternal gloom of his kingdom. The black rivers that whispered secrets, the crystal caverns that rang like broken bells, the asphodel fields stretching gray and endless under a starless vault.

    He wanted life. Specifically, he wanted Aglaea, the most radiant princess of Castrum Kremnos, whose beauty was said to make flowers turn their heads and nightingales forget their songs.

    So he planned the classic move: to emerge from the chasm in a chariot. One sweep, and back to the Underworld before anyone could scream more than twice.

    What he hadn’t counted on was that royal children look annoyingly similar when they’re both wearing ceremonial laurel crowns and lounging among the same flowerbeds.

    Phainon kidnapped Mydei by mistake.

    Summary

    “Can I help y—”

    He hears someone yelp before something collides into him at full force, small and short and sobbing. Mydei grunts in surprise, steadying himself against the door. He glances down and finds a familiar head of white hair on a body much smaller than it should be. Much smaller.

    He blinks. The child latches tighter onto his leg.

    (On caretakers and lost opportunities. And, mothers.)

    Phainon comes to the library near his home to save his rose, hoping only to find a few books on flowers.

    He does find the books.

    He finds true love, too.

    Summary

    “They gotta be fucking”, Stefanos said out of nowhere. They were sitting in the library – all four of them together for once – taking notes and studying, with various books opened all around them. “Just look at them. There’s just no way they don’t have some kinda history.”

    Airis followed his gaze, curious, until she realized who he was talking about. She deadpanned, “You’re still on it? I thought you dropped this when we found out that both of them are married.”

    two teachers, a betting pool and the win of a lifetime.

    Summary

    Everyone with ties to the underworld of Amphoreus knows that the Flame Reaver owns the city. Lurking beneath the glamorous city lights of Okhema was the sprawling underbelly of crime and sex, all held within Neikos’ firm hand.

    He has no weakness. Except perhaps the beautiful, blond escort he keeps by his side, Polemos of the red-light district.

    ——

    He hears the sound of a car door clicking open somewhere he can’t see. He holds his breath, wondering if Neikos has brought in more men to torture him. Instead, a clear voice rings out, echoing all over the empty warehouse.

    “Are you done?” It asks, bored. Deep and velvety and utterly seductive. A bit raspy, but it's somehow charming. He’s never met the man himself, yet he’s heard plenty enough rumors that he can probably write an entire novel out of them. “I’m hungry.”

    “In a minute, love,” Neikos answers, voice so gentle it sends shivers down Hector’s spine. It doesn’t suit the ruthless crime boss at all, yet somehow, he isn’t surprised to learn that he was indeed capable of being soft towards his first and only lover. “I just need to wrap this up.”

    ——

    or: crime boss neikos and escort mydei in love… in the only way they know.
