Summary
Yuuri, a third-year dance major, stays on campus alone during fall break. Filled with anxious tension and shame for not returning home since arriving on campus, he heads to the performance hall to dance out his nerves. Yuuri's never been good with words or dealing with emotions, but with his art, he can express his inner turmoil and scream his feelings with unspoken words that seep out between musical notes and sequences of steps.
Victor, a second-year master of composition student, felt his work had been uninspired and dull. Victor has always loved music. It was an escape for him when he was surrounded by the pressures of perfection, falling in line and exceeding everyone's expectations. Music gave him an outlet to meet all those while still having something that drove him, exceeding all expectations from a young age. Over time, he feels that the glow of passion has diminished, leaving him lost and unsure where to turn.
One night, Victor finds he's not alone in the dim performance hall. Following a spill of warm light in the hallway, he spots a lone dancer through the glass. His eyes are closed, and he is lost in movement and feeling—music created with only his body and a quiet voice only he can hear.

Summary
"Hold on, please," Phainon says, grabbing hold of Mydei's arm in desperation, trying to keep him on the bed.
Mydei doesn't listen. He pulls himself free, striding across the room to tear open the curtains obscuring the only window. Outside the window, he can see the source of the light that had blinded him:
There is no newborn sun of the new dawn. Instead, Kephale's Dawn Device still towers over Okhema. Below them, the city is eerily quiet.
This is Okhema frozen in time, its citizens gone. Even the birds have been silenced. An afterimage of the past, of time together they'd sacrificed in search of the new sunrise. None of this can be real—a beautiful dream crafted to deceive him, only one that is now fraying at its edges, showing the rot underneath.
"If this is the Era Nova, then where is the sun we were promised?" Mydei whispers under his breath.
---
When Mydei gasps back to life after Amphoreus' last cycle, the world he returns to is no longer the one he remembers—and neither is Phainon waiting at his bedside.Or Mydei wakes up on the Herta Space Station.

Summary
“Didn’t you tell me that there was no word for ‘giving up’ in the Kremnoan language?”
“There is a word for being snarky,” the prince muttered. “And you fit that role perfectly well, knight.”
Phainon giggled, and the fluttering sensation in Mydei’s stomach came back. Something seemed to click into place in his head; something he never realized before.
Why he looked forward to sparring with Phainon so much. Why he got so flustered when he teased. Why he couldn’t seem to take his eyes off of him.
He could be wrong. He’d never felt it before, but all the signs pointed toward romantic attraction. The realization hit him like a tidal wave. This wasn’t how this was supposed to go!
Mydei tried not to look at Phainon’s bright smile. He could only hope he was wrong.
***
Or, a royalty AU in which Prince Mydei falls in love with Princess Castorice's trusty knight, Phainon.

Summary
“Are you lost?” Aglaea bends down so that she and Stella are eye to eye. She hesitates, then braces herself before asking, “Where are your parents?”
Aglaea watches as her eyes dim and her smile fades. Her chest feels heavy as little Stella sniffles, and suddenly she knows the answer. She almost doesn't want to believe it; Phainon and Mydeimos were two of the strongest people she knew.
However, the evidence speaks for itself. Aglaea’s threads take in Stella’s state, and she concludes that as long as Phainon and Mydei were able, they would never leave their daughter in this terrible state.
“Daddy and Papa are gone,” she whispers miserably, and Aglaea feels dizzy actually hearing it confirmed. “And… and they said that if they were, I should go look for Auntie Aglaea in Okhema because she’d take care of me.”
——
or: phainon and mydei never come back from what was supposed to be a simple extermination mission. seven years later, aglaea finds their daughter on her doorstep.

Summary
Mydei would like everyone to know that he can't be the one to awaken Phainon from his cursed sleep with True Love's Kiss, because he is not the Deliverer's one True Love.
The entirety of Amphoreus would like to argue otherwise.
