Summary
"What would your options be if I hadn't agreed?" Thoma asked.
"Having second thoughts?" Ayato kept his voice light, teasing, his mask of a smile firmly in place to cover the shock of cryo coursing through his veins.
A narrow-eyed glance from his retainer. "No, of course not."
Ayato let his smirk broaden and sharpen, stitching the act into his skin. "I would not blame you if you did. It's not too late." Lilting. Dispassionate. He willed it into the flow of his words, the veiling of his frantic heart.
“I know," Thoma said, as if Ayato's question were deathly serious. His solemn gaze burned with conviction. "I am committed to this, my lord."
A year after the death of Ayato and Ayaka's parents, the clan succession is contested from within and without. Kamisato Ayato will do anything—anything—to ensure his family's safety and stability.
But powerful supporters come at an unimaginable price. When Ayato's own sacrifices aren't enough, he's forced to involve Thoma in a web of intrigue and exploitation that will push them to the breaking points of their bodies, their minds, and their very hearts.

In the void above, the stars bear lonely witness to mortal memory.

Summary
"Back then, I had no choice but to accept the position I was in. While I desperately looked around for powerful supporters, I endured smear campaigns and attempts to exploit me. I had no other choice. I had to honor my parents' dying wishes, and I also had a young sister to take care of. I didn't mind what became of me, but my family... No one can ever be allowed to trample over my precious family. Fortunately, I persisted, and the Kamisato Clan was able to survive this storm."
How Ayato secured powerful supporters, endured exploitation, and weathered the storm of the years following the death of his parents... and how Thoma helped him contend with a bunch of self-serving, degenerate public officials.
And how, after much stilted fumbling and well-intended sacrifice, they learned the truth of one another's hearts.
or: Kushiel's Dart meets Genshin Impact in a quick-scorch-to-slow-burn romantic drama of court intrigue, sexual politics, and sacrifice.

Summary
He dredged through months slumbering and waking with a lover and a small checklist of tasks to greet him in the morning. Further back to months of restless nights and short naps through the day but nothing much to do. Then to a time of sleeping the days away in the closest thing he could get to fading entirely from existence.
In all that time, he couldn’t recall a single dream. It wasn’t merely the hazy content of a mind teetering between the sleeping and waking world that was beyond his grasp. There were no interrupted nights nor early morning. No racing heart nor stray thought of how strange that dream had been before the strangeness itself vanished back into the depths of his mind.
Nothing. His nights were empty.
…
Phainon must have been able to dream. Once. It was just another thing he had lost along the way, up an insurmountable journey, in wait for someone else to take his responsibilities to that final end beyond his reach.
For Amphoreans, sleep comes with the risk of reliving nightmares taken from the small eternity of their memories. The one exception is Phainon, who can no longer dream at all.

Summary
There was only one person who could cook such a delicious meal. The very same only person who could enter and exit his home undetected when he refused to open it for anyone—because he had personally handed over the spare key.
Mydei.
The man who would spite him with terrible food when his jokes grew as stale as the bread he must have left uncovered just for him, or his methods in their latest spar was as slimy as the fish gutted but raw and unscaled. Who could now recall the whole truth but still prepared such a thing with care for the person responsible for his every death.
Amphoreus has become a real planet forged from the memories accumulated over millions of years.
Every citizen is bestowed all the memories that are rightfully their own, so there’s no escaping the actions Phainon took to prolong the cycles until a true hero could arrive with the new dawn.
But when Phainon is unable to see his own worth and face the tomorrow everyone had longed for, there are plenty of people at his side willing to help open his eyes to the truth.

Summary
"Where does it go?" Varka's warm hands on his shoulders again, drawing him closer until he collides with heat and fabric and a strong, sturdy body beneath. Flins' eyes stay open. His gaze sticks to the azure of Varka's coat. "Where does all that hurt go, if we can't see it?"
Inside, he supposes. Inside his cold, aching chest, where his flames aren't enough to burn it away.
Finally, Flins shuts his eyes, fingers hooking in fabric, mouth pressed to Varka's shoulder behind layers of fabric. Fool, he thinks again, and imagines himself biting down. Varka has never seemed to know not to get so close.
|
Flins' body doesn't carry his scars. Varka is the first to see that, and, perhaps, the first to care.Bookmarked by liminalpsych

Summary
When Mydei didn’t respond, Caelus settled beside him, a careful arms-length away. “Hey, this place is massive. The others are all littered around here somewhere— I saw Aglaea with the triplets by the stairs, and Hyacine was already up when I got here tending to Cipher. You know, I think it was like a random drop…”
Reassuring, but the itch in his chest refused to calm. “Where’s Phainon?”
“Uh.” Caelus scratched his chin and looked off to the side. “Around?”
“Around,” he repeated flatly.
Irontomb is defeated; Amphoreus has been "born" anew in the Eternal Page, awaiting its future in reality. Great—perfect, even. Everyone is alive and remade with no worries in the world, the Heirs blessed to come together as a family once more. Right? Right?
So why is Mydei now stuck babysitting the Flame Reaver?
