    Summary

    The whole world was nothing but darkness and pain but, somehow, he knew of these things from beyond it.

    “Mydeimos,” the thin one said again.

    Mydeimos. That high, firm voice.

    Mydei. That low, soft voice.

    These five knew something. Knew him or those voices.

    So he gave them those two words burrowed somewhere deeper than his mind or body. Aedes Elysiae.

    When Mydei finally emerges from the Sea of Souls after nine harsh winters, the most precious thing in the world to him isn’t his name, his body or his life. But two words he can’t remember the origin of: Aedes Elysiae.

    As the years pass in exile, he finds himself plagued by knowledge that comes from the same maybe-past or maybe-future that wasn’t quite Mydei’s and yet was.

    It took four years for him to stumble across Aedes Elysiae, a boy that calls the place home, and why those words were engraved upon his soul.

    When this letter will reach you, I will probably be already on my way. Please trust me and don't worry. I will definitely make it back!

     

    Kamado Tanjirou

     

    Giyuu released another shaky breath, his chest feeling heavy as he put away the sheet of paper only to pull it closer and read it again.

    Final Selection.

    Summary

    The sound of Rengoku Kyojurou falling was something that Giyuu would never forget. Even as he fought Upper Rank Three, he was still horribly aware of the body by the train tracks, unmoving and shrouded in a blood stained haori. How could a spirit as strong and bright as the irrepressible flame hashira ever be extinguished?

     

    (Or, Giyuu arrives in time to save the man who has occupied the thoughts of all his days and nights ever since their first mission together two years prior. And although the road to recovery won't be easy for Kyojurou, at least he won't be alone.)

    Summary

    “You once bled out yourself to give clay figures life… How desperate for company must you be, to do that?” Cipher whispers, voice hoarse and nearly gone. Khaslana flinches back, drenched in her golden blood.

    She opens her eyes. “Well, Sky-Father?”

    He wants to scream. He wants to rage, but not necessarily at her, though she knows what she is doing to him and that ought to make him angry enough. She’s taking her claws and inserting them into his chest, poking at that wound that will never heal.

    “I am alone,” he says.

    She raises an eyebrow. “Are you?”


    Even if you live a thousand lifetimes with the same people over and over again, sometimes they can still surprise you.

    Summary

    “Why do they throw flowers?”

    “They’re well-wishes,” Phainon answers. “Crocuses are for new beginnings, cyclamen are for love, colchicum for fidelity. They’re blessing the marriage.”

    Mydei’s hand shifts a little lower, warm fingers circling Phainon’s wrist. “Your traditions are terribly sentimental.”

    “Romantic,” Phainon corrects. “Just call them romantic.”
    |
    To save his people, Mydei strikes a deal. Aid in exchange for two things: the coreflame of Strife and his hand in marriage.

    Summary

    "I think I'm being haunted."

    Castorice stared. Phainon bit his lip. Already he was regretting trying to tell her.

    "It’s not like some horror movie thing, but... I would see him randomly. And not like in photos or whatever, but I mean, in my bathroom mirror."

    Phainon is trying his hardest to live a regular university life, but is finding it especially difficult when his late upperclassman, Mydeimos, is haunting him.

    In which Mydei learns more about Okhema's culture and cuisine, and tries to learn more about Phainon, however strange and unsettling the prophecised Deliverer's preference for sustenance might be.

    Phainon, on the other hand, is confused as to what transgressions he's committed, but hey, at least he's trying his best.

    Summary

    Phainon shifts into a more comfortable position and rests his eyes, the darkness dragging him down, down, down into a void, wherein rests a lone, winged figure all curled up in the middle of it all, whose harrowing cries echo like an elegy for a love long lost.

    Summary

    “May this world never have need for a Deliverer.”

    Back then, all he had done was laugh in return, seeing the way Cyrene smiled and followed him.

    He never noticed the sadness that was clear in her eyes, the way it told a hundred bittersweet things all at the same time.

    Now, he understood.

    —————

    or; The world has collapsed, as it has done many times beforehand. The Black Tide took over the lands of Amphoreus, swallowing everything and everyone in its path, leaving nothing else behind but a single man destined to witness the new dawn alone.

    Phainon was left completely alone.

    Just like before, the world has to be reset and this loop must be brought to a close.

    But, this time, the epic of the chosen hero might have another conclusion to its story.

    If Phainon could give the world the happiness it deserves, grant his friends the chance to live a life where they won't have to suffer time and time again, living their lives as they should… he would do it all without another beat of his heart, without a single thought in his mind.

    Even if it means everyone forgets about him.

    Summary

    “Death is meaningless to you, so let me ask you something else. Will you live for me, my dear Deliverer?”

     

    ”I will walk this world on your behalf, and I will dedicate each and every one of my waking breaths to you, my dearest Mydeimos.”

    Alternatively: Instead of escaping with the century gate, Phainon stays behind and witnesses Mydei’s death.

    Summary

    Turning a final corner, Jing Yuan comes to an abrupt stop. The other end of the cave is still far off, but immediately he knows: their journey tonight has reached a destination. 

    There is yet another figure set between blush-pink ice and turbulent snow up ahead in the long corridor. But this one is neither Denizen nor dead, curled against a wall and trembling.

    It is a child. And beneath the wailing storm within a cave, it is crying.

    In the aftermath of the Third Abundance War, Jing Yuan finds a nameless child on a nameless planet far from interastral civilization.

    Or

    After the fight with Hoolay and subsequent defense of General Feixiao, Yanqing has pushed himself well beyond his limits and pays the steep consequences. Plus, Jing Yuan worrying over his ward *cough* son *cough* and reflecting on all that has transpired in such a short time.

    Summary

    Phainon was a person who smiled a lot, that much everyone in the Holy City knew.

    However, whether those smiles were real or not, no one could know. After all, he was shrouded in mystery. No one knows where he came from or how he arrived at Okhema. To the people's knowledge, he's been here for a long time. Time has passed. New generations of Okhemans are now living their carefree lives, playing all sorts of games with their friends. People have come and gone, some friends and others strangers. The new tomorrow was near the horizon.

    If only the Deliverer could feel happy about it.

    Or, 5 times Mydei made Phainon (genuinely) smile (because he has that effect on him, and make him all flustered) and the one time he made him cry.
