Your being carved from the memories within the depths of my soul (Do you remember me as I do you?) by ethyrin

Summary
There lay a myriad of unfinished sketches in Phainon's studio, endless canvases of a man with a face that never felt quite right, unfathomable numbers of sculptures that flawlessly replicated anything but his face that he no doubt knew was heavenly to behold.
What was the name of the man whom Phainon once loved more than anything in a life where they were doomed from the start? What was the shape of his nose? What of the arc of his lips? Were his ears on the smaller side? How strong was the arch of his brows?
Was he alive and happy somewhere in this same life, this same world, without heavy burdens to carry? Would Phainon perhaps chance upon him in a library? Perhaps at the gym? Or at a café or a restaurant?
Would he remember him too?
(Why could Phainon remember so much just to be denied the full picture of him who was once his entire cosmos and so much more than words could ever hope to describe?)

Your memory engraved in my soul by Lilliae

Summary
The whole world was nothing but darkness and pain but, somehow, he knew of these things from beyond it.
…
“Mydeimos,” the thin one said again.
Mydeimos. That high, firm voice.
Mydei. That low, soft voice.
These five knew something. Knew him or those voices.
So he gave them those two words burrowed somewhere deeper than his mind or body. Aedes Elysiae.
When Mydei finally emerges from the Sea of Souls after nine harsh winters, the most precious thing in the world to him isn’t his name, his body or his life. But two words he can’t remember the origin of: Aedes Elysiae.
As the years pass in exile, he finds himself plagued by knowledge that comes from the same maybe-past or maybe-future that wasn’t quite Mydei’s and yet was.
It took four years for him to stumble across Aedes Elysiae, a boy that calls the place home, and why those words were engraved upon his soul.

Summary
Perdikkas comes into view, stepping closer to blink down at Phainon and Mydei on the ground. “You’re all here?”
Ptolemy scoffs, kicking lightly at the dirt. “Guess who has the extraordinary pleasure of being assigned the babysitting duty to the dumbass trio over here?” He rolls his eyes with a sharp sigh. “Not Peucesta, clearly. Lucky bastard.”
“Don’t lump me in with them,” Hephaestion protests. Ridiculous. Everyone knows who instigates the fights just as often as Phainon and Mydei.
“We don’t need babysitting,” Phainon says at the same time, words muffled as Mydei’s hand smashes his head into the ground, resuming their fight now that Ptolemy is distracted. Phainon almost bites down on the dirt by accident.
or; Phainon finds Mydei drifting at the Sea of Souls after Aedes Elysiae is destroyed. Pulling the other kid out of the water might be the best decision of his life

Summary
Deliverer: I think some introspection would do you well, Prince.
xPrince: I appreciate the concern, Deliverer, but I don't think pointing out the truth warrants such a thing.
Deliverer: I believe it does. You’re looking awfully pot shaped right now.
xPrince: ?
Deliverer: The idiom the pot calling the kettle black?
xPrince: Sorry the brain cells I have left from speaking with you were struggling to form a connection.
Deliverer: Accidental self burn?
xPrince: Focus on your leveling noob.
Deliverer: So you're resorting to name calling because you can't think of a good retort. Cute.
An AU where the heirs have a guild together in a game called Saga of Heroes.

Summary
“Foolish,” Hat Guy says derisively. “You’ll make yourself ill.”
Sethos laughs and laughs and to his surprise Hat Guy, for all of his obvious irritation at Sethos’ presence, stays seated at the next table over, content to sip tea quietly as the rain pounds against the umbrella above him.
The rain sluices down Sethos’ body, refreshing and cool on his skin.
It’s like nothing Sethos has felt before.
For the first time since his grandfather died, the pain in his chest disappears.
After becoming the leader of the Temple of Silence, Sethos finds himself struggling with the weight of those expectations. To his surprise, he finds common ground and companionship with Hat Guy, a mysterious and beautiful young man he meets accidentally at the Akademiya.

Summary
Sethos cannot be trusted. Wanderer knows this, and yet, inexplicably, he finds himself opening up more to this Temple of Silence liaison. He knows, but is drawn evermore into those piercing green eyes, and sly smile, and the way he holds everyone at arm’s length while keeping them close as can be. He's interesting, he’s impressive, and Wanderer wants nothing to do with him while knowing everything about him. He hates it. He hates even more that he is going against his better judgment when he falls for him.
