Summary
“The way I see it, he’s no different than the rest of us. Not in any way that matters, at least.”
Mydei hummed. “Good. I’m glad you see it that way.” He said softly, before going quiet for a moment. “…Phainon needs more people like that in his corner.” He said, his voice even quieter than before.
“…He does.” Anaxa softly agreed.
Anaxa, Mydei, and Phainon settle in the aftermath of what happened at the Grove, trying to figure out their next steps forward. Anaxa swallows down his budding feelings, determined to solve this problem on his own.
When Caenis decides to act, the confrontation forces Mydei and Phainon to realize just how much Anaxa means to them.

Summary
He could still feel his stomach twisting with hunger, protesting how little he’d had to eat today. The feeling was uncomfortably reminiscent of the past- when starvation drove him to the brink, going days without food.
He needed a distraction.
“If I promise to call you when I’m having a bad time, will you return the favor?”
The memory echoed in his mind, something of a light in the darkness. Suddenly, he found himself desperately craving the presence of his boyfriend. Even if just over a call, Sunday’s smooth voice would be a wonderful distraction right now.
When Aventurine and Sunday both find themselves in need of comfort, they each remember the promise they made to call each other for comfort and help. Following through, they find it's not so bad going through tough times when you have someone else's voice to guide you through it.
or
A series of phone calls, and the events that follow.

Summary
He gave a weary, almost nervous glance to the blankets behind him. He… really didn’t want to. He knew, he knew, any sleep he could get wouldn’t be restful. Evidenced by the nightmare he’d just startled awake from, leaving him more tired than before he fell asleep.
But he was so tired.
Dan Heng sighed, leaning his head back as his eyes slipped shut for a moment.
He would manage without.
…somehow.
Dan Heng has been having nightmares. When Caelus finds himself wanting to check on him in the middle of the night, he discovers just how little sleep the vidyadhara has been getting recently.
He decides to take it upon himself to fix this issue.

Summary
It- it was the same scent. The same thing he’d followed into the city, searching, starving. Phainon stared, wide-eyed, at the small droplets of shining red blood beading on the wound. The scent, metallic and enticing, drifted towards him as he stood utterly frozen.
“I’m alright, son. Just a little scratch, no need to worry.” The man smiled. Phainon could barely hear him over the buzzing in his ears.
Phainon finds himself struggling as a freshly-turned vampire, having no idea what he is or what he's craving. He stumbles his way into Okhema, searching for shelter. Instead, he's confronted with some harsh truths about himself, and the monster he believes he's become.
This is the story of how Phainon became corrupted by the Black Tide, how he met Aglaea and Hyacine, and how he settled down into Okhema.

Summary
“What happened to you…?” He barely registered the soft whisper, as hands came to gently cradle his face, fingers just barely avoiding the gaps in his shattered frame. “You look human, and yet…” There was a breath.
“Can you understand me?” The blur asked.
“Under… stand…” He echoed. What had he been doing? …He couldn’t remember. His head hurt. …his everything hurt. Such… agony.
… He wanted to rest.
Crumbling under the weight of the coreflames he should have passed on several cycles ago, Khaslana makes his way to an Okhema that doesn't yet know of the Flame Reaver. There, he finds comfort, concern, and... perhaps, a bit of hope.

Summary
“I don’t一” Simon’s voice is soft and broken and he hates it, he hates the fear permeating his entire body. “I don’t want you to be a hallucination.”
Grace’s faint mumbles and a strange whistling voice die down. Then Grace says, “This is real. It’s real, and we’re getting you out. I promise.”
Simon closes his eyes. He breathes out.
“My name,” he says. His voice is rough with unshed tears. “My name is Simon.”
“Nice to meet you, Simon. Hang tight. We’ll be there soon.”
-
Simon is rescued from the blood ocean by a stranger who calls himself a scientist, who claims to be on his way to an alien planet called Erid. Aboard the Hail Mary, Simon has to contend with the fact that dimensional travel maybe exists, living on a space ship, and somehow surviving the struggles of deep space—all while maybe falling in love with the strange man with blue eyes.Series

Summary
Kaveh looks with heavy, leaden eyes at his fingers — dirty, grey from erased graphite. The skin on his fingertips is cracked from long, meaningless work he tried so hard to make meaningful. He doesn't even feel like tidying up. Let alone washing his hands. What difference does the outside make, when inside there's nothing but ashes?

Summary
“Grace staring at Simon again, statement,” Rocky, very unhelpfully, broke his train of thought. Grace sputtered, shaking his head.
“I’m not staring, Rocky! I was just – spacing out,” Simon worried his lip, looking back down at his research. Glancing back up to see if Simon had overheard. If he had, that didn’t stop him from continuing his own work; Simon had become obsessed with the mechanics of the ship, fixing everything he could. Which was great, considering Grace was a man of science himself. Hardly knew how to change his tires, really. Simon paused, scratching at the gills on the side of his neck. He had been doing that every few minutes, grimacing.
“Simon, are your gills bothering you?” Grace couldn’t help himself.
“So you were staring then, angel?” Simon huffed, not taking his eyes away from what he was working on.
