Summary
Mydei does the math in his head. It’s July right now, therefore… Phainon should only be three months older than him. He scoffs. “Don’t get too cocky. Three months is hardly a difference.”
“I wasn’t trying to be cocky!” Phainon insists. Despite Mydei’s cold words, Phainon seems too happy. “So you’re an October baby, huh? Were you born on Halloween?”
For a moment, Mydei wonders why his friends and Cyrene left him with this guy again. Then he feels a sharp pain in his head, and the memory of Phainon catching him before he faceplanted onto the ground resurfaces. He resigns himself to his fate.
Mydei goes to Aedes Elysiae for the summer. He doesn't expect to meet the love of his life there.

Summary
“But why are your wings exposed? Already needed elsewhere?”
“I was merely preening them.”
Phainon blinked. “As in… grooming them?”
The same way Mydei brushed his hair or straightened his clothes. But his wings?
“What’s with that look? Surely you…” Mydei realised, so affronted yet resigned for it, “You never preened your wings.”
“Well they—they’re divine wings! Forged from the power of the Coreflames that inhabit my body. Why would they need preening?”
“Does that divine body of yours need no washing either?“
In the millions of cycles Phainon’s wings had sprouted and smouldered at his back, wing care had never occurred to him. They were simply there—nothing more and nothing less.
The same cannot be said for Mydei, who diligently cares for his body and is determined to instil the same practice into Phainon.

Summary
“Just give me… some time and—and I can… change back. You don’t have to…”
Nothing more escaped him. Even that was too much for Phainon, lips pressed into a thin line mired with regret that he had spoken at all.
“I don’t have to what?”
Phainon didn’t answer.
“I don’t have to what, Phainon?” Mydei demanded, sharp and rough, but that was always when Phainon met him head on.
The truth spilled out in a cracked whisper. “Try and love me. When I—when I’m like this.”
Amphoreus’ first solar eclipse was meant to be a time for celebration. But the sight of daylight devoured by darkness dredges Phainon’s old memories and transformations with them in a frenzied haze.
Mydei proves to Phainon that his appearances, and the past entangled within them, has never mattered to him.

Greet the dawn with eyes wide open by Lilliae

Summary
There was only one person who could cook such a delicious meal. The very same only person who could enter and exit his home undetected when he refused to open it for anyone—because he had personally handed over the spare key.
Mydei.
The man who would spite him with terrible food when his jokes grew as stale as the bread he must have left uncovered just for him, or his methods in their latest spar was as slimy as the fish gutted but raw and unscaled. Who could now recall the whole truth but still prepared such a thing with care for the person responsible for his every death.
Amphoreus has become a real planet forged from the memories accumulated over millions of years.
Every citizen is bestowed all the memories that are rightfully their own, so there’s no escaping the actions Phainon took to prolong the cycles until a true hero could arrive with the new dawn.
But when Phainon is unable to see his own worth and face the tomorrow everyone had longed for, there are plenty of people at his side willing to help open his eyes to the truth.

Summary
[Re-upload]
“They welcome me like I haven’t spent the past week piercing holes through their beloved savior,” Mydei comments once he and Phainon manage to find some peace at the corner of a stairway.
“Careful- you’re still a little purple here,” Phainon replies with a tap to his own shoulder.
Mydei smirks and hopes, childishly, that the princess will at the very least allow him to borrow her knight. It’d be a shame to never spar again.
Or: The war is over, and Mydei is sent off to marry the Okheman princess... Or so he thinks.
