    Summary

    The Smoke Sea is on the world map, probably, in a small corner somewhere, maybe, in the oceanic blue, perhaps, where the very edge of East meets West. Split by islands and starlit, it holds a dark sky and darker secrets in the depths below. Terrible things happen, the fish economy is on shaky legs, and someone probably dies.

    If anything, Gura just wants to fish. The creature under the water, watching her, thinks this is a mighty fine idea.

    - - -

    Pride burst in her chest as the shape moved under its coat, though it dimmed when it slipped off its chair with a loud thump onto the deck. But still! She’d gotten them back home, onto the ship, closer to the ocean and herself. It wasn’t good to spend so much time on land.

    That surely wasn’t healthy at all.

    Summary

    Wreathed in a trail of burning gas and fluorescent light, a comet hangs, colossal and ethereal, like a guillotine over the people of the world. Miko lifts the can of warm coffee to her lips once more, then grimaces.

    “This tastes awful.”

     

    A story about the apocalypse, weird bucket lists, promises made, wishes fulfilled, and somewhere in the middle of it all, love.

    Summary

    "Indeed, in a world where they were fundamentally set apart both by a prophecy and by time, there were very few people who could claim they could understand Cipher. Anaxa, as inscrutable and occasionally (read: often) insufferable as he is, is one of those people."

    Or, an exploration of the latter half of the 33550337th Eternal Recurrence. In a world where Aglaea and Castorice die centuries before the conclusion of the Flame-Chase Journey, before even the births of Anaxa, Mydei, and Hyacine, the Chrysos Heirs that carry out the final sacrifices of Amphoreus are few and far in between. They form special bonds unique to the events of this Eternal Recurrence --- though in some ways, some things never change.

    Summary

    Then, when he had finally gathered the courage to get closer, the sounds of laughter had slowed him again. He quietly watched through a small hole in the wall separating him and the outside area as his friends set the table and bantered loudly with each other. Their happiness radiated off of them in waves, a balm on the persistent gloominess of their situation.

    Phainon couldn’t bring himself to ruin it.

    After the trauma of Irontomb, Phainon is under the impression that the other Chrysos Heirs need to stay away from him. After all, who would want to be near someone who had killed them in thirty-three million lifetimes?

    Summary

    “My humble apologies, Imperator,” Hysilens says, her voice rasping unpleasantly—still so unaccustomed to the human tongue. She clears her throat, pressing a hand to her chest. “To see that fish in the blackness where the sun’s rays dare not shine… it is as a star; radiant in the depths of the sea. Not unlike your blazing light, which guided me to shore.”

    Cerydra takes a long sip of her glass, only to fall silent. Golden ichor drips from the corner of her mouth, and Hysilens resists the urge to reach out, and…

    “Were you truly so allured?” Cerydra murmurs, shattering the silent moment almost off-handedly—which is strange—no action of the Imperator's is impromptu in the slightest. She is an angler, a chessmaster. She is patient, composed, and she does not err lightly.

    But Cerydra blinks as she looks to Hysilens, as if she too is struck with momentary surprise at her own tongue. Her breath is sweet, and warm against her siren’s scales. And Hysilens nods.

    “Yes,” she whispers, for none but her light to hear. “I was.”

    Summary

    There was screaming. Or maybe there had been.
    Anaxagoras couldn’t tell.
    He lay on his side, his body pressed against the cracked pavement, his cheek grinding into the coarse, rough concrete. His coat, twisted and tangled like a flag left to rot in a forgotten battlefield, draped over him in disarray. The fabric felt heavier than it had any right to. Smoke slithered through the air, thick and suffocating, curling and clinging to his lungs as if it, too, wanted to drag him into the chaos. The acrid bite of burning rubber and scorched coolant clawed at his throat, making each shallow breath a bitter fight. Somewhere, a sob echoed, distant and breaking, the sound warped by the fog of pain pressing in around him.

    AKA - Professor Anaxa gets into a bus accident and starts hallucinating the God of Reason. (MODERN AU with elements of alchemy and fantasy)

    Summary

    Anaxa accidentally opened a portal to an alternate universe, bringing five familiar kids to his room who called him by one name. “Father!”

    Aglaea coincidentally walked by, ignoring each other as if neither of them stuck out like a sore thumb. Then the children whipped their heads at her direction and said, “Mother!”

    She inclined her head, turned to him, and stared. Anaxa stared back, cursed inside his intellectual brain, and heard Cerces cackling at the background.

    Summary

    "The Antimatter Legion?" Stelle asks, holding a hand against her head and wincing again. She can barely follow Dan Heng's words. She looks up just in time to see the girl—March 7th is her name, right?—make a face and look off to the side.

    Then she opens her mouth.

    And maybe, in that moment, Stelle finds something to reach for.

    -

    The five times there's only one bed for Stelle and March 7th to share. Luckily, they fall further in love with each passing day.
