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
Phainon gets sick as hell, everyone overreacts (understandably), Mydei drops increasingly un-subtle sentimental trinkets like a lovesick crow, Aglaea delivers her regular dose of poetic shade, and Tribbie is Tribbie. By the time Phainon’s mind clears, he’s short a fever, up a bracelet, and still trying to figure out why Strife’s god keeps sitting bedside like it’s a confessional.

Summary
Phainon arrived in Castrum Kremnos under the harmless pretense of a casual visit, hoping to convince the nation’s cold, untouchable Crown Prince to join the Flame Chase Journey. Several failed attempts later, he somehow ends up getting absolutely railed by him instead.
Diplomacy’s a delicate art.

My Chimera Can’t Possibly Be This Cute! by Lunaeryi

Summary
Phainon sets out to find Mydei. What he actually finds is a pocket-sized chimera he falls head over heels in love with and naturally names Snowy. What follows is a suspicious amount of cooing, dubiously safe bonding activities, a minor head injury, and the creeping suspicion that maybe he’s been looking at the wrong place all along.
(At least Snowy was cute.)

I Can Excuse the Bear Mauling, But the King?? by Lunaeryi

Summary
When Phainon finally moved to Castrum Kremnos—the city he’d daydreamed about since childhood—he expected many things: difficult dialects, lovely cuisine, and locals built like war gods. He did not expect to flirt with a man he assumed was a priest.
“So… I read Nikador’s scriptures once. Very inspiring. Huge fan.”
Finger guns.
Pew pew.
A silence worthy of a sacred text.
Unfortunately, that “priest” happened to be the Crown Prince.
Even more unfortunately, the Crown Prince thought he was cute.
