    Summary

    "I am tired of not knowing myself. Teach me how to come alive, because this emptiness is suffocating me and I yearn to reach for the sun."
    ----
    There’s a hole in Caelus' mind these days. It aches with serrated teeth and yearns to devour anything in its path—and so Caelus leaves Amphoreus knowing not what he's lost before even the Memoria Tide, only that he *lost* it.
    A letter finds the Express: addressed to Caelus, it suggests an arranged marriage between himself and the Luofu's High Elder Dan Feng.
    In thwarting destiny, Caelus finds that the answer to a question he doesn't know how to ask has stood on the Luofu for millennia, waiting for the day where Caelus might remember the star he once stepped out of so long ago.
    And maybe if Caelus accepts the proposal, he might learn what made him want to live so bad that he had to die for it.
    ----
    An AU where Dan Feng didn't get subjected to the Horrors™ of the Shackling Prison, and never joined the Astral Express.

    Summary

    He goes to the hospital, puts a hand to the door’s narrow window, and the wanting trips him, chokes him, burns him.

    And it never stops.

    In the days without Suho, Sieun keeps him close through messages sent to a phone number that can't respond. And then Suho wakes up, and opens the window.

    Summary

    Sieun knows that his parents just want him to move past it, to get over it, even if they won’t say it out loud. But there’s no moving past it—not as long as Suho stays like this. There’s nothing to propel him forward, nothing to knock him out of this equilibrium.

    In physics, terminal velocity is the maximum constant speed attainable by an object falling through a fluid. It occurs when the sum of the drag force and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity acting on the object. Once it has been reached, the object has zero acceleration.

    Sieun has been falling for a long, long time.

    Ahn Suho wakes up. They pick it up from there. (Or: Ahn Suho's cram school for one.)

    Summary

    Caelus starts noticing that Dan Heng has become strange around him in a way that goes beyond his usual quiet protectiveness. He is always there, always watching, always tense whenever Caelus slips out of sight. What begins as confusion turns into something much more dangerous and much more tender when Dan Heng is finally forced to admit the truth. His Vidyadhara instincts have fixated on Caelus. Protective, possessive, deeply territorial, and humiliatingly affectionate, they keep driving him to gather pieces of Caelus close and build a hidden nest around the one thing his dragon mind has decided is most precious.

    Caelus should probably be alarmed. Instead, he is fascinated. As Dan Heng’s control begins to fray, Caelus finds himself drawn deeper into the parts of him that are usually hidden away. Horns, scales, ancient instincts, quiet yearning, and all the soft terrifying want Dan Heng does not know how to ask for.

    Or Dan Heng’s dragon instincts decide Caelus is his treasure, and Caelus reacts to that information with far less self-preservation than he probably should.
