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.Series

Summary
Phainon blinked.
“Uh… a kitty?” he said, kneeling down in the grass.
And the beast spoke.
“I am not a cat!” the cat said sharply, sitting up just enough to glare at him.
Phainon stared.
“A… talking cat?” he said, incredulously. He leaned a little closer, now able to see the injury more clearly. Blood coated one of the creature’s legs.
“I said I am not a cat,” the creature repeated, its fur bristling irritably.
“You’re adorable,” Phainon remarked, leaning a little closer. “Are you injured?”
After being taken from the humble life he knew and thrust into the imperial palace as a forgotten prince, Phainon Khaslana expects only loneliness, etiquette lessons, and a long list of rules he barely understands. What he does not expect is a foul-tempered talking beast hiding in the palace gardens—one that insists it is definitely not a cat.

"How long?" Mydei asks. "Deliverer. How long?"
Now, Phainon's head snaps up. His lip curls, baring his teeth. "How long what?" he snarls. "How long since my rut started? How long will it last? Just what are you trying to ask, Mydeimos? How long since I've imprinted on you like some kind of—"
"Are you ashamed of it, then?" Mydei cuts him off, struggling to keep his scent from swelling. "Do you find your affections unnatural or repulsive? Or have I not done enough to prove myself to you as a worthy mate?"

there is no word for 'confessing' in the kremnoan language by silverwingly (silkraps)

Summary
"You're really beautiful," Mydei mused absentmindedly in Kremnoan, staring at Phainon. "Someday, I'll gain the courage to tell you how much you mean to me."
Phainon paused. "What did you just say?"
Or: Mydei develops a habit of confessing to Phainon in Kremnoan. It's not like Phainon would understand him anyways, right?

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.

"Fuck."
Petals sprinkled with blood filled the pretty porcelain sink. Aventurine hunched over it, begging for the sight in front of him to be nothing more than a terrible nightmare. Another painful cough seemed to mock his pleas as even more petals plapped onto the stone.

Summary
“What’s ‘rakshak’?” he asks.
Mama’s lips press together, but Papa smiles. “It’s fine, Faranak. The Akasha has a fully public entry on both…conditions. He may as well learn about it now.” Papa takes the clip from Mama, turning it over in his fingers, then looks at Kaveh. “Most countries call rakshak ‘Sentinels.’ You might say they’re the opposite of Guides.”
“Bad?” Kaveh asks warily.
Both his parents laugh. “No, no, sweetheart. I would say they’re more counterparts than opposites—here, let me bring it up,” adds Mama.
---
Kaveh is a Guide, like his father. Alhaitham, a Sentinel not quite like anyone else. Born into a Land of Wisdom that cares little for those gifts, they must explore old hurts, find their way with or without each other...and have the courage to face their own reflection.

Summary
“You should know that I’m a prince.” Yoo Joonghyuk warns, wringing the hem of his cape of seawater.
Kim Dokja taps his lip, floating backward and somehow drawing in a lazy circle despite Joonghyuk being unable to see any movement from his legs. He’s never seen anyone swim so fluently. “A prince that can’t even catch his own fish?”

Summary
“Kim Dokja,” Yoo Joonghyuk breathes. His eyes are dark, his glower practically molten. His warm breath fans across Kim Dokja’s face. His scent bathes Kim Dokja in a feverish haze that seems to overtake his body. “Do you wish for the entire kingdom to lust after you?”
What the hell is this guy on about?
Kim Dokja can’t even open his mouth fully before Yoo Joonghyuk buries his head against the crook of Kim Dokja’s shoulder, taking a deep sniff into his freshly ironed clothes.
“Ugh—you—!”
Kim Dokja pushes both of his palms against the King’s clothes. He doesn’t care if it’s treason or not to wrinkle his priceless uniform like this—not when Yoo Joonghyuk is acting completely nonsensical.
“Did you hide it?” Yoo Joonghyuk growls, “Your heat. Why did you come to work in this state?”
“What?”
What the fuck is this guy talking about?
In a series of strange events, Kim Dokja realizes he’s transmigrated into the wrong genre a little too late.

The SSS-Disaster Level Unlucky Protagonist Wants To Hire A Reader For Six Million Won by Ink_of_Darren, Quill_of_Anders

Summary
Yoo Joonghyuk has been personally victimized by the universe since birth.
Elevators break for him. Coffee attacks him. Pigeons recognize him as an enemy combatant. Once, a printer jammed so violently it qualified as workplace terrorism.
Kim Dokja, meanwhile, is so lucky he once won a raffle he didn’t enter and got a free lunch because the cashier “liked his vibes.”
When Yoo Joonghyuk discovers that Kim Dokja’s mere presence cancels out his catastrophic bad luck, he does the only reasonable thing:
He offers him six million won to stand nearby.
