Summary
“I- can explain.” He said weakly, pulling his hand away as if to hide it. Anaxa simply hummed, letting go now that Phainon was more stable, literally speaking. He crossed his arms.
“I believe you should do so.” Anaxa said. “Particularly why you did not think to inform me before I turned on the device that would have killed you, had I not shut it off.” He growled, and Phainon suitably wilted under Anaxa’s fiery gaze.
Two days after Phainon's forced vacation, he's invited on a trip to the Grove to retrieve a research project Professor Anaxa had been working on. Only, once they get there, he realizes it's a device meant to combat the Black Tide.
What will he do when Anaxa decides to test the freshly completed device? What truths will come to light?

Summary
“It just… gets harder this time of year. I’ll be fine.” He said. When it was clear Aventurine would not say more, Sunday shifted his hands to hold Aventurine’s face, tracing over his cheek with one thumb.
“Tell me more.” He said.
“It’s-” Aventurine began to say, and then his eyes met Sunday’s. His expression broke a little, and he tried to turn away. Sunday didn’t let him, though he didn’t force him to stay either. A gentle pressure, urging, asking him to stay, and Aventurine acquiesced. “My birthday’s… tomorrow.” He said.
On Aventurine's birthday, old memories press down upon him, leaving him grieving and exhausted. Sunday takes it upon himself to take care of him, refusing to let him spend the day alone. A week later, Aventurine easily returns the favor.

Gentle Hands, Hold this Monstrous Form (Please, I Beg) by TheWitchesCat

Summary
“It’s not safe.” Phainon said, voice strained. Even now, he remembered how divine the Chrysos Heir’s blood had tasted that night, and everything in him just wanted another bite. He fought down the hunger within him with difficulty, resisting the urge to bite at his lip to quell the ache in his teeth.
“And why is that?” Mydei asked, his voice softer as he took a step forward.
“I- I’ll hurt you.” Phainon stammered, thoroughly backed into a corner with nowhere to go. He wanted to run, to get away, to return to the safety of solitude where a monster like him couldn’t hurt anyone.
“No, I don’t believe you will.” Mydei said softly.
Phainon has a nightmare, and spirals about the possibility of his corruption growing worse and causing him to lose control. Fearing the worst, he leaves the city. Now, it's up to Mydei to find him and pick up the pieces of the Deliverer's shattered soul.

Summary
He gave one last desperate glance at the pile of rubble, trying to mentally calculate how much strength he’d need to move it all, and- He wouldn’t have enough. Even on a full stomach there was no way he could get them out-
Fuck. He thought, closing his eyes and leaning his head back on his hands. He was going to have to explain, wasn’t he? There’s no way he could rationally explain his behavior as anything other than the truth- and hell, maybe the truth would actually get Mydei to back off.
Just as he was actually considering the insane idea, Mydei spoke up again.
“What’s going on with you, Deliverer? You’re acting more like a caged animal than a Chrysos Heir right now.”
Phainon huffed bitterly, a mirthless smile finding its way onto his face.
“I certainly feel like one right now.” He breathed, hands clenching where they rested on the rock.
Phainon has certain vampiric needs, and Mydei is more than willing to offer his aid. First, Mydei has to pull Phainon out of his head enough to make him realize he's allowed to accept such a thing.

Summary
“There. We’ve decorated.” He said plainly.
Stelle gasped in mock offense, staring around the room wildly. “One decoration is not a complete décor! You have to pick something else.”
“Alright then.” He said. The next least-offensive thing he could find was the little vial of particles. He picked it up, and placed it next to the statue. “One more thing.”
Stelle shook her head. “Who knew you could be so cheeky.”
Sunday becomes part of the family, one piece at a time.
(or, 5 times Sunday bonded with a member of the astral express, and one time he bonded with someone outside of it.)

Summary
Thank fuck. Alhaitham tries to speak, tries to get out something along the lines of Tighnari, I’m having a heart attack, help, but all that comes out is a pathetic whine.
“I know, I know, you’re okay,” Tighnari says, holding his hands palm-up in front of him, voice surprisingly calm considering the fact that Alhaitham’s having a heart attack. “You’re going to be okay. Can you hear me yet?”
Under the stress of a sudden workload he wasn't quite prepared for combined with other things, Alhaitham has his first real panic attack. He doesn't quite handle it well.

“Kakavasha.” He murmured again, his voice softening just a touch. “You’re hyperventilating.”
Ah. Well that explained why he felt so lightheaded.

Summary
After a failed mission, Phainon finds himself being consumed by burning anger. Scared of what he could do to his fellow Chrysos Heirs, he tries to hide, but finds a certain Crown Prince won’t let him carry all of his burdens alone.
As threats loom in the deepest dark, can Phainon learn to rely on others, or will he burn himself to a crisp to keep others warm?

Summary
The cruelest thing about the Nameless was that they made it so easy to pretend that Sunday belonged. They fed that greedy, stupid, childish thing that cried out from within him, tossing enough scraps of amity for him to piece them together into something that felt like home. The curtains only closed when Sunday lay awake at night and stared at the ceiling of the bedroom that wasn’t really his, and he remembered that it started like this and could only end like this: with him, alone in the dark.
Sunday is found by the Astral Express Crew after fleeing Penacony. He accepts their offer to join, and realizes that
a. fitting into this tight-knit group is likely impossible
b. trouble finds the Trailblazers no matter where they go.or, the chronicle of the Astral Express trying, failing, and trying again to fit Sunday into their family.
