Summary
Phainon is twenty-nine years old, possessing a degree that does nothing but sit in display, and working odd jobs. Oh, and also close to losing his home thanks to Aedes Elysiae’s delightful housing costs.
An opportunity comes in the form of a Jadeslist posting made by concerned parents seeking a ‘date’ for their son, Mydeimos, who has been suffering the curse of being single for all twenty-one years of his life. The pay? Nymphbook Air and twenty-five thousand Balance Coins.
Phainon might just be the person for the job.
(or: one sweltering summer, two people who are absolutely not in love, and a play in three acts.)

Summary
Mydei’s throat suddenly feels dry when he notices his own reflection.
He lived it, he knows what is happening. And still, it’s a different experience to witness the terror so evident on his twelve-year-old face. His body is littered with injuries, gold smeared everywhere. Blond hair matted against his skull with sweat and blood, snot and tears streaked through his face. The frozen image of him tries to pull away from his captors, the chains of metal shackles pulled taut as he struggles against them.
Mydei feels the phantom tightness around his neck where one of the manacles had been fastened, barely allowing him to breathe.
Phainon and Mydei stand directly between his parents, looming over the miserable image of Mydei in his youth. He forgot how small he used to be, not even reaching their shoulders in his past state.
Phainon's warm palm lands on Mydei’s bare shoulder. “This is too much, we can just—”
Mydei shrugs the hand off himself and activates the shard.
or; Mydei faces the parts of his childhood he thought he left behind

Summary
Mydei doesn't think much of it when his class is one minute late.
But as the clock on his wall ticks away, signalling that now—after losing himself in deep thought over how to handle today's lesson—it's currently ten past the hour, he finally starts getting suspicious. It's normal for classes to overrun on occasion, gods, even he's even done it before. However, it's an entirely different thing when it's this much time that's gone by without any prior notice. Mydei pushes his glasses back up onto the bridge of his nose, as they've gradually slid down while he was staring at the worksheets on his desk.
He sighs, glancing at the clock once again. Two more minutes, he promises himself, and then he'll go figure out where the hells his class has disappeared off to.

Summary
“Teach me how to kiss.”
Mydei’s jaw drops.
“It's a win-win, right? You get to… I dunno, yell at me when I mess something up - which, let’s be honest, you love doing - don’t even try to deny it,” Mydei sneers but stays silent, which Phainon takes as a victory. “And as a cheeky bonus,” He continues, throwing in a wink as he puffs up his chest and puts his hands on his hips. “You get to make out with one of the top three most handsome guys on campus… me!”
Mydei stares at him, wearing an expression so twisted Phainon could’ve mistaken it as him finding out he’d stepped in a pile of shit.

Summary
“You must have me on the altar of my temple. My…priests will do the rest of the preparations.”
He continued, his words spoken so nonchalantly that it took a moment for Phainon to register what he had said.
“Have…you? As in partake in your flesh or…or to take you on the altar?” He asked, his voice cracking mid sentence.
Phainon was sure he would hate the God who had turned his blood gold. But after he had met Mydeimos, he wasn't so sure anymore.
