    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

    She licks her lips, hesitation clear in her eyes. “Maybe he’s avoiding another Langdon situation.”

    Ah.

    Therein lies the crux of his discomfort—he isn’t Langdon’s replacement. He isn’t Robby’s pet project. More than anything else, he didn’t want to be one.

     

    or, Robby has favourites and Whitaker tries not to read too much into it.

    Summary

    His hand lifted.

    And then his fingers were there, sinking into the hair at the crown of Dennis’s head.

    It was just as soft as he’d imagined. Softer. He was definitely using some kind of a special conditioner. The slight curl wrapped around his fingers like a caress. He felt the solid warmth of Dennis’s skull beneath his palm, a shocking, intimate contact. He registered the perfect texture, the clean scent of generic hospital shampoo—and the absolute, petrified stillness of the man beneath his touch.

    The world crashed back in.

    The card game had stopped. Princess was frozen, a card halfway to the table. Mohan’s laughter had died in her throat. Mel’s smirk had vanished, replaced by wide-eyed shock.

    What. the. actual. fuck.
