    Summary

    “Mom! Mom!

    Audata snapped her head to the door of the house. Her son stood in the hall, his little face red and eyes puffy as he cradled his forearm, a sob stuck in his throat.

    Audata dried her hands on the towel and hurried to her child. “Phainon, love, what –”

    “My mark!” her four-year-old son interrupted, voice quickly growing hysterical. Audata reeled back. Small chest heaving and words slurring, he showed her his arm where his soulmark that had once glowed with the golden color of the sun was now rapidly losing color. “It’s gone!

    a soulmate au where you are born with the name of your soulmate etched into your skin.

    Summary

    “As I was saying,” Father clears his throat. “Mydeimos is finally of age and ready to inherit the throne. But before that, he must undergo a trial to prove his mettle. I had gone through this before my time, and my father before me—”

    Gorgo pokes him on the shoulder. “Get to the point, dear. I’m bored.”

    Eurypon shoots her a pitiful look. “A-anyway, Mydeimos. Your task is to travel to the far lands of Aedes Elysiae and slay the dragon that continues to terrorize the kingdom. You must also do your duty as prince and rescue the holy maiden who is kept as a prisoner in a tower.”

    “What if the maiden doesn't want to be rescued?”

    Hyacine shrugs casually when everyone turns to her. “I just think it’s a bit egotistic, assuming that she’d want to be rescued by a prince. She could be hatching a plan to help herself for all we know.”

    Their heads swivel back to Eurypon, who’s sweating bullets under Gorgo’s glare.

    ——

    or: mydei & hyacine go on a life-changing journey where they discover new sights, meet new people, and fall in love with their soulmates.

    Summary

    ''Good afternoon, Mydeimos. I’m Phainon, your personal pilot.

    Let me first thank you for placing your trust in my experience, and assure you that I’ll do my utmost to meet your expectations.''

    Mydei couldn’t help but blush, for that voice—so cheerful, so full of energy.

    And damn, Mydei had been feeling so alone of late that the fact that someone his own age was now piloting his plane had caused him to react like this…

    After getting an immeasurable fame, Mydei needs the service of a personal plane to go to all his concerts. It wasn’t going to be a difficult tour until he realized the feelings he had developed for his friendly and pleasant personal pilot, whose voice is turning him crazy.

    Summary

    So he watches him slumber, for there is nothing else to do, or so he tells himself. Like this, he can observe all he wants, and the mermaid can’t make a fuss. He brings a gentle hand to tuck his bangs behind his ear, and traces his fingertips down his jaw.

    Even if he finds Phainon irritating, even if he wishes to be alone, he can’t relinquish the fact he saved him. Found him in the dark abyss and plucked him from his grave. For that, he does not know if he should be grateful, but he knows he should be less harsh with him.

    Mydeimos tries to find a cure for his terminally ill mother, Queen Gorgo, but attempt after attempt he fails. On his last chance, he captures a mermaid, a creature whose flesh should solve his woes, but he can't bring himself to kill and sets him free.

    And when his father learns of such an act years later, he condemns him to drown in the same ocean where he enacted his betrayal, only to be saved by the very same mermaid who brings him to a secluded island to heal.

    Summary

    Phainon had spent centuries mastering the art of not falling head-over-heels for the one person he could never escape: himself. Thanks to his mother Liriope’s quick thinking of stashing every reflective surface from Athens to the afterlife and slapping a silk blindfold over his eyes like some tragic fashion statement, he’d avoided the curse’s more embarrassing side effects.

    ---

    “Phainon,” Mydei said softly. “Can I take your shades off?”

    Phainon’s breath caught. He knew exactly where this was headed, but he tilted his head with feigned innocence.

    “What’s the need for that?” he asked lightly, as if the answer weren’t written in the air between them. “They’re comfortable right where they are.”

    Mydei couldnʼt help but chuckle. He didn’t pull his hand away. Instead, he brushed slowly over Phainon’s knuckles. “You’re really going to make me say it?”

    Phainon hummed, turning his face more toward him. “I think I am. What do you think you’re going to do once they’re off?”
