Summary
No one was as qualified to call themselves a Mydeimos Super Fan as Okhema Security Pvt. Ltd.'s most diligent cog in the system; Phainon.
A lucky opportunity had him brushing shoulders with an old bandmate from Mydei's early career days, and perhaps, if he was even luckier, the man of the hour himself. And so, Phainon hatched a semi-professional plan of working his way into his Idol's good graces.
What Phainon's plan, namely, did *not* involve was punching said Idol's million-dollar face to save his boss from a PR disaster. Nor did he expect it to work.

Summary
"Chiron only trains heroes." He repeats the same words from that day. "It’s not something you choose.”
"And you are one?"The question stung. Mydeimos’ jaw tightened. "It was foretold."
“Right. Foretold,” Phainon scoffed, as if it were a minor detail. “Well, no one’s foretold anything about me, so I guess I have to make my own way.”
One trained by fate, the other chasing it. The gods, of course, remain entertained.
Chiron watches them both, and wonders how many ways a heart could break.Or; Ancient Greece—Mydeimos and Phainon grow up together in the forest, undergoing a decade of training to become heroes.

Summary
Mydei fights monsters and travels alone. Emphasis on that last part. That is, until some village boy starts following him around, desperate to get stronger.
|
Phainon has it all planned out:1. Convince the handsome witcher to bring him to Castrum Kremnos.
2. Train and get strong enough to prevent what happened in Aedes Elysiae from ever happening again.
3. Face his past, and the monster that comes with it.It goes about as well as expected, that is to say, not well at all. And he should probably add a step 4. Fall in love.

Summary
(long nights frenzied when you’d brush my face and it’d blister up a little more everyday the blood would harden and you’d still touch it you’d tell me I was handsome and God you were careful but sometimes it stung, Emma, sometimes it stung and I felt you in my bruises hours later)
Or: Emma & Charlie's honeymoon teaches them something about their relationship.

the density of accident and circumstance by futuresoon for banakii

Summary
“Could you tell me exactly what is troubling you?”
Aventurine makes a vague gesture. “Bad dreams. You’re probably familiar with it.”
“The touch of the Nihility affects everyone differently. Until I know your exact symptoms, I won’t be able to treat you.”
Aventurine closes his eyes, for a moment, and opens them. “Old memories,” he says, finally. “A lot sharper than they should be. Like I’m really there, watching it happen.”
(After Penacony, Aventurine's been having some bad dreams. He starts seeing a Doctor of Chaos about it. Ratio gets roped in to help. Aventurine's not happy about any of it; and anyway, it's all pointless, isn't it?)

Bookmarker's Notes
Prose once again so good it brings me to my knees.
I adore how this piece merged reality with the supernatural so well. Erwin’s condition never felt jarring, or out of place, but as if it was always a piece of this world, and that is a testament of such skilful world building. You could just feel the age oozing off this man. And the ways they incorporated, altered, and toyed with common stereotypes of vampires? So brilliant. Erwin’s ability to read people’s pulses just elevated this already layered story another tenfold. So many unique descriptions, so much fascinating prose opened up.
And the part on the boat, wow. I have read few stories that atmospheric in their description. You were constantly subject to the claustrophobia of all these characters jammed on this little vessel, of the persistent rocking, the nausea, the isolation. Even the city, Erwin’s description’s of everyone’s hearts made everything feel so oppressive and chaotic. And of course, their pining. Erwin’s fear and cowardice, Levi’s unnameable emotions; all of was so delicious to read.
