Summary
“Wanna bet on it?” he asks.
Mydei raises a brow, then, narrows his eyes.
“Bet on what?” he asks suspiciously, not unlike how one pokes a sleeping tiger.
“Bet that you can plan better dates,” Phainon says. “That you’re a better lover.”
Mydei scoffs.
“Against that male alpha? Any decent human being would win.”
Phainon pauses, an idea forming in his head. And it’s such a bad idea. Such a stupid idea. But, it could be fun. And Mydei has always indulged his stupid ideas.
“What about against me?” he asks.
(Phainon and Mydei have always been known for their competitions. It's the basis of their almost four year friendship. There's no reason they can't also compete over who's the better date either.)

Summary
He thinks it ironic that Olruggio’s kindness is his salvation and his undoing—the link that keeps him alive and the torturous burden that prevents his peace.
He ought to be angry at him. He thinks a part of him is.
But time tempers all emotions, and, even back then, Qifrey couldn’t find the energy to stay angry at him for long. It was Olruggio’s nature, after all, to sacrifice himself on the altar if it meant saving one more life.
(On Olruggio, and the nature of their relationship, as seen by Qifrey.)

Summary
“Can I not simply stare to admire you?” he murmurs. He’s five paces away. Four. Three. Two. He stands close enough to see the freckles on Phainon’s golden-hued skin, close enough to breathe in his earthy scent. His want is a physical being that demands he grip Phainon’s body and never let go lest this moment slips away from them both. He cups Phainon’s face, and Phainon settles his hands on his hips.
Sometimes, he watches Phainon and thinks how fortunate it is that they can be this kind, this delicate with each other now.
“I think you’re the more eye-catching one between the two of us, Mydeimos,” Phainon says. His lips twitch, and Mydei can feel the muscles of his cheek moving under his fingers.
What a miracle it is that they have this now. What a relief.
(Love in the time of Era Nova.)

Summary
“They can say no if they aren’t okay with it.”
“Okay with what?” Phainon asks curiously. Mydei catches him glancing his way before meeting Cipher’s eyes again.
“It’s nothing bad,” Cipher simpers. “Just a little bit of acting on the public stage.”
“What is it?” Mydei asks warily.
Cipher’s grin widens into something almost manic.
“I want you both to fake date each other to advertise this show.”
(Fake dating, stage chemistry, and falling in love.)

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.)

Summary
The hands at his waist grip a little tighter. Qifrey, who has been cautiously opening himself to this kind of physical contact in the past few months, has been surprised to discover that he likes it—being held, pressed, kept tight. It stokes the part of him that is terrified of being trapped, just enough to keep him from relaxing.
It’s precisely this interplay between comfort and uneasiness that made him consider the possibility of using it to their advantage.
(Or: an exploration of trauma, healing and acceptance, of settling into one's own skin, and of what it means to make a home in one's heart.)

Summary
He and Mydei still get into fights all the time actually, but it’s different now. Now, after a fight, Phainon fluffs the pillows on the couch while Mydei takes a pint of blueberry-yuzu gelato out of the freezer, the one they always keep stocked for post-fight nights. Then, they’ll curl up on the couch, side by side with one spoon between them, and watch whatever show is trending on Netflix.
Recently they’ve been going through an adaptation of one of Mydei’s favorite novel series. Phainon has been trying to get them to fight again so they can watch the next episode.
Mydei plans a dinner night for their friends. Phainon is his in-house, nonnegotiable sous-chef who also happens to believe that Mydei is undateable.

Summary
What’s your name? Mydei stills remember their first question.
A pause, and the board spelled: PHAINON.
Anaxa looked over at Cipher with a deadpan expression. “That your ex?”
“Me of all people, a boy-kisser? Come on now.” Cipher shot back. She swore it wasn’t her moving the planchette. But then again, Cipher has sworn over many things, and very few of them are truth.
How did you die?
A pause, and the board spelled: MURDER.

Summary
Qifrey tries to catalogue all of the places they touch, reminding himself that the contact is no longer dangerous. Olly’s nose is slotted against his temple, fingers having moved from between his shoulders to the base of his head. There’s a slight tickle where the hair on his chin brushes against Qifrey’s cheek. The other arm is wrapped loosely around his middle, squeezing against his tunic. Their legs aren’t exactly tangled, but he can feel Olruggio’s calf against his own, a bony knee against his thigh, and the press of something warm and firm against his hip. His own body is an unfortunate mirror, the hour still early and the closeness still unfamiliar.
