Summary
He dredged through months slumbering and waking with a lover and a small checklist of tasks to greet him in the morning. Further back to months of restless nights and short naps through the day but nothing much to do. Then to a time of sleeping the days away in the closest thing he could get to fading entirely from existence.
In all that time, he couldn’t recall a single dream. It wasn’t merely the hazy content of a mind teetering between the sleeping and waking world that was beyond his grasp. There were no interrupted nights nor early morning. No racing heart nor stray thought of how strange that dream had been before the strangeness itself vanished back into the depths of his mind.
Nothing. His nights were empty.
…
Phainon must have been able to dream. Once. It was just another thing he had lost along the way, up an insurmountable journey, in wait for someone else to take his responsibilities to that final end beyond his reach.
For Amphoreans, sleep comes with the risk of reliving nightmares taken from the small eternity of their memories. The one exception is Phainon, who can no longer dream at all.

Summary
A cursed artifact of Zagreus and Mnestia, capable of granting whatever the bearer wishes at a steep price, falls into Phainon’s hands. Not even a day has passed before, one by one, the Chrysos Heirs begin turning into animals.
Phainon, the last member of the Flame-Chase left standing, is left on pet sitting duty until he can find a way to reverse the spell he has woven around his friends—starting by uncovering exactly what wish he had made in the first place.
After all...even inadvertently, no respectable hero would ask for something so strange and humiliating to befall his closest comrades—would they?

Summary
Mydei, as occupied as he is as ruler of the Underworld, would never have foreseen that being associated with a flower—namely, the narcissus—would bring him so much trouble.
Said trouble, unfortunately, came in the form of a newly ascended hero-turned-god, whose favourite pastime seemed to be shirking his duties, and annoying Mydei.
"Admirers," Mydei thought derisively.
OR, an AU (very loosely) based off of the Hades & Persephone myth. (Or rather, should I say Persephone x Hades, in this case?)

Summary
If Phainon had sensed his unease, he had done wrong to dismiss it through a flippant wave of his hand. "Mydeimos, you have my word, there's no need to worry—"
"Don't."
That was a horrible lie. The prince wouldn't be fooled by such a shallow plea. Even as he glared at Phainon, he found nothing but a stunned silence; and as he clasped the Deliverer's shivering hand into his own, he shut his eyes to rid that unsightly apprehension sewn onto his partner’s expression.
He took a deep breath to compose himself, but what he said remained steadfast.
"Don't tell me not to worry."
A mission out to Aidonia has thawed the prince's unwonted heart.

Summary
Qifrey didn't give off the impression that he was physically strong. On the contrary, he looked like a frail ice prince—a character in those fairy tales Olruggio had read about when he was young.
Or, Olruggio struggles to come to terms with Qifrey's not-so-hidden strength. In the process of it, he uncovers a rather concerning truth about himself.
