    Summary

    Phainon may have started panicking. At the bare minimum, he felt blindsided— Mydei was purposefully being combative, despite Phainon having been nothing but amicable, and now he was making it sound like Phainon was the one in the wrong.

    So he did the most logical thing he could think of in response, of course— acting before really thinking about it— and demonstrated his willingness to participate in what he'd perceived to be a provocation from the Crown Prince—

    He undid the knot holding the tiny modesty towel in place—the pristine white fabric fell, and with it, so did Mydeimos's gaze. 

    “Oh,” Mydei answered eloquently, an odd expression crossing his face as he stared unabashedly, while Phainon, much more abashedly, allowed him to. 

    Be it through ignorance or wishful thinking, Phainon interprets Mydei's shamelessness as a direct provocation to settle the score between them, following the event of their ten-day, ten-night battle resulting in a draw.

    Summary

    “What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”

    And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.

    “I want to go to college.”

    And Talia had made that happen for him.

    (AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

    Summary

    Phainon swallows around nothing, looking at the new boy, taking in his striking, angular face and sharp, golden eyes that never leave the Headmaster.

    “Who's that?” he asks no one in particular, his voice a little breathless even in his own ears.

    “Mydeimos Kremnos. You know those Kremnoses," the fourth-year standing next to him whispers back. "He's practically Wizarding World royalty."

    ---
    By his seventh year in Hogwarts, Phainon likes to think he’s gotten pretty good at this wizarding thing. On top of being both the Gryffindor Quidditch captain and a Prefect, he has plenty of friends and decent grades—everything he needs for a memorable but not too difficult graduation year. But when the Triwizard tournament is announced to return, and Hogwarts welcomes international guests, Phainon finds himself inexplicably drawn to Durmstrang’s would-be champion Mydeimos. When the Goblet of Fire spits out both their names, it’s sure to be an exciting year.

    Summary

    Erik knows very well who he is and what he is for. If Bast thought placing him here would humble or punish him, They do not know him as well as They think. Erik may wear the body of a slaver, but his mind and his choices are his, as they always have been.

    He lived by the sword and died by it; he sees no reason to change the bedrock of his personal ethics the second time around.

    Summary

    “Listen, I’m sure you’re a great guy, but I’m not looking for a relationship right now.”

    Dainsleif frowns. He has never, in his entire life, been delusional enough to think he could pull Diluc Ragnvindr, but still, harsh.

    “Okay ? Neither am I,” he says blankly, because he has no idea of how he’s supposed to react to this statement.

    “Then why did Yelan give you my address?" Diluc asks, crossing his arms.

    It occurs to Dainsleif that he isn’t the only person Yelan has victimized in the past forty-eight hours. He puts Diluc out of his misery.

    “I’m the photographer.”

    - or, a disenchanted singer and a disillusioned photographer meet by chance - i.e., the creative recruitment methods of a slightly insane manager - effectively upturning their lives for the better.
