Summary
He rubbed the back of his neck, trying to stretch a smile back into place. “Still kinda wild you’re dating someone now. I mean, good for you! I’m happy for you. Really. Has it been—what—two months?”
Mydei’s gaze lingered on him for a long moment, unreadable, before he turned back to his food. “Yeah. Something like that.”
Phainon fiddled with his spoon, twirling it between his fingers. “Feels longer.”
“That a complaint?”
“Depends,” Phainon said with a faint smirk. “Are you gonna keep ditching me for her?”
“I’m not your babysitter.”
“Didn’t say I wanted you to be,” Phainon countered. “You’d do a horrible job.”
-
A fic where Phainon smiles too bright. And suffers equally.

Summary
“You had to go through that thirty-three times?” Tribbie asked. Her voice wobbled with unshed tears.
Phainon did the only thing possible in such a situation: He panicked.
“Uh,” he said, because clearly his eloquence had abandoned him during one of the cycles, “yes?”
// OR, circumstance leads to the heirs thinking Phainon only lived through thirty-three cycles. Rather than correcting them on this, Phainon doubles down and decides this is the new narrative he'll go along with so as to avoid worrying them too much.

Summary
“Intra-Cognition is null. Responds only to destructive stimuli.”
The sentence barely registers in Mydei’s mind as he stares at the shadow of the man who was once Phainon, who sits completely still in a chair, dull eyes staring sightlessly ahead.
“Damage to mind function detected… Possibly irreversible…”
The Antikytheran-like man continues reading through the digitized logs impartially, as if merely reciting a speech. But every single word he says drives another stake into Mydei’s heart.
Mydeimos the Undying scarcely bowed his head, rarely lowered himself onto his knees, and never, ever begged. And yet he finds himself doing all three things now, before the broken shell of Phainon, who is very much alive, and yet lacking all of the life that made him him.
---
Irontomb’s birth is prevented, and Amphoreus is saved. But it’s at great cost to Phainon, whose psyche finally crumbled under the devastating damage to his mind, body, and heart.
But Mydei and the other Chrysos Heirs will not accept this outcome. For what is a dawn without the sun?

Summary
His sister's stories gave Phainon a love of history, but it's the tale of the Last Queen of Kremnos that gives him courage. Courage that makes him brave enough to lie when he finds the Last Queen's signet ring and seek out the last secrets hidden in the tumultuous final years of the Kremnoan dynasty.
And the dreams give him strength to reclaim his own life. But sometimes, things are kept secret for a reason.
