    Summary

    Sinking to rock bottom looks different to different people. Some know they’re on the way when they lose their job. Others may feel the slip when they’re spending more time in casinos than in the comfort of their own home. Sometimes it’s as mundane as simply noticing your hairline receding from excess stress.

    Phainon knew he was sinking to his own rock bottom when he woke up sweaty and seconds from orgasm after a wet dream about a fucking lingerie model.

    Or, Phainon accidentally develops a fixation on a man thanks to his own traitorous mind, and instead of behaving rationally, he continually makes the problem ten times worse. Apparently, having a PhD in understanding the human psyche does not make you immune to the biological weaknesses of it.

    Summary

    He moved to extricate himself but Mydei’s hand on his shoulder tightened and another grasped his arm about to push away from the earth. The pleased glow upon his features had dimmed and the shrewd edge had returned, bringing suspicion with it.

    “We’ve laid together many times in the past,” Mydei said bluntly.

    Phainon chuckled and hoped the mirth covered his nerves that came from Mydei striking with unerring precision. “And there’s a much more comfortable cot for us to lay in at home,” he responded obtusely.

    “The look of the fool doesn’t suit you. No matter how many times you choose to wear it.”

    His mouth parted; soundless before it closed again without spewing any of his foolish diversions. “So you noticed.”

    Mydei stared, unimpressed. “It’s hard to miss your refusal to go as far as heavy petting. It’s a bold change from your past enthusiasm.”

    It’s been months since Amphoreus was safely stored away in the Eternal Page, which is enough for the harvest season to arrive in Aedes Elysiae. Back home for the first time, and with Mydei at his side, Phainon’s hesitance unravels in the wheatfields beneath the stars.

    Summary

    “Mydei?” Phainon tentatively began with the same caution he approached animals with a single glassy, scarred eye, crouching low in their line of sight and extending his hand for them to come towards him.

    Unfortunately, Mydei was more stubborn than any stray cat and scoffed back. “What’s with that tone, Deliverer?”

    There was no use circling the truth.

    “Can you see me?”

    At that, Mydei’s stoic expression waned into a wry smile. “No.”

    When Mydei is struck by a Cleaner’s poison while outside Okhema’s walls, the last thing to recover are his eyes. Until the poison is fully purged Phainon is designated as his aide.

    Summary

    Phainon, for all his so-called innocent smiles, is hardly honest. Mydei has always been forced to read between the lines, and reading Phainon became a skill. But there are some things Mydei thinks he shouldn’t know, especially now that they’re supposedly over. Only that—he does know. He knows that every time Phainon picks up a book or jacket or anything he apparently forgot to pack when he moved out, Phainon replaces it with something else to ‘forget,’ a new item to come back for and start this play all over again.

    (or: in which Mydei pretends he’s no longer in love with Phainon.)

    Summary

    Phainon is twenty-nine years old, possessing a degree that does nothing but sit in display, and working odd jobs. Oh, and also close to losing his home thanks to Aedes Elysiae’s delightful housing costs.

    An opportunity comes in the form of a Jadeslist posting made by concerned parents seeking a ‘date’ for their son, Mydeimos, who has been suffering the curse of being single for all twenty-one years of his life. The pay? Nymphbook Air and twenty-five thousand Balance Coins.

    Phainon might just be the person for the job.

    (or: one sweltering summer, two people who are absolutely not in love, and a play in three acts.)
