Summary
Yes. Wilbur had to bite his tongue to keep the answer from spilling out of his mouth, because yes he wanted more. Of course he wanted more. He wanted to be more than the bastard prince. He wanted to be more than a mistake his mother made before she married Tommy’s father.
But that wasn’t the role he had been cast for in his life.
“It doesn’t matter,” Wilbur said instead. “When Tommy turns eighteen he’ll be crowned King, and I will be his advisor. He’ll be a good king, I’ll make sure of it.”
or, as the bastard prince of the planet of Eldingvegr, Wilbur has always known he was never meant for greatness. That was his younger brother's destiny. Wilbur's job was simply to try and make sure Tommy could fulfill that destiny.
That becomes decidedly more difficult when the brothers are betrayed, and are forced to flee their home planet. With the Essempi Empire being one of the largest imperial powers in the universe, the only place that can offer them refuge from Emperor Dream is Zephys IV—capital planet of the Antarctic Empire, ruled by the ruthless Emperor Philza.

constellations on his face by bonesandthebees (bonesandcacti)

Summary
The wonder painted across Orpheus’ face was… pure. His eyes were wide, and for the first time since Phil had met him, the boy seemed completely unaware and uncaring of what Phil was doing in that moment. His only focus was on the constellations above his head, and warmth bloomed in Phil’s chest.
“It’s amazing,” Orpheus whispered.
The glowing freckles dotting Orpheus’ face almost seemed like they were brighter than usual. As if they were trying to match the false stars above his head. In a way, it was like Orpheus was made of star stuff himself.
“I had a feeling you’d like it, little bird,” Phil told him, and this time, the nickname was no accident.
or, Orpheus was interesting to Phil for many reasons.
or or, chapter 13 of the stars and their children but from Phil's POV
