Summary
Phantom was the newest quintessance ghoul. Skittish and silent, the pack wants nothing more than to bond with him, to love him. But Phantom is afraid. Afraid to let himself be loved no matter how he longs for it.
They can't know what's under his mask. They'll hate him for it, reject him, and he'll be alone. After seeing how they interact, Phantom would rather be erased than sent back to the Pits where all he's known for so long was the empty void of loneliness.
Preface to polyghouls. This is Phantom's first month after being summoned.

Summary
"█████, please be reasonable," he pleads at his friend's bedside, stomach twisting and aching as he watches his best friend curl up into a tiny ball of blankets and shivering body, wrecked by a violent bout of coughing yet again.
"You know they—the Cure is not to be wasted on," █████ rasps before wheezing through another cough that he muffles against his blankets. "On a mere cold. I've taken my medicine, I'll be fine."
Except that's the same thing he had said earlier in the afternoon when his fever hadn't been as scalding against ██'s skin when he pressed his hand to his friend's forehead. And his hands—oh, his hands, ██ knows how badly they must hurt from all the clutching at the bedding when the cold weather already makes them tremble and ache, twisting them into something █████ is ashamed of.
"This is not right," ██ says, and it feels like a verdict he settles with himself. I will make it right, is what he doesn't say when he picks up a robe to throw over his nightshirt.
"You try to get some sleep, I'll get you more tea, okay?" ██ whispers against █████'s sweaty temple. "I'll be back soon," ██ promises before sneaking out the door.
He does not come back.

Summary
“But you aren’t an omega."
“I wasn’t before I went to sleep,” Vessel agrees. “But I think I might be, now.”
II runs his hand through his cropped hair to avoid reaching past the bedframe dividing him from Vessel. He desperately attempts to avoid why he feels like the space between them is a barrier he isn’t allowed to cross without permission, when a few days ago he wouldn’t have thought twice about sitting down beside Vessel, no matter the questionable state of his sheets.
“Ves, are you implying that you think you were bitched by a dream?”
It sounds even more ridiculous out loud.
“No,” Vessel denies, shifting in a way that makes his sheets drag eye-catchingly across the sweat pearling on his defined waist. He laughs without humor when he says, “I think it was more like I was bitched by a god.”
When divine intervention causes what is supposed to be the first night of Vessel's rut to become the start of his first ever heat, II is determined to give his boyfriend everything he needs. He only fears that, as a beta, he won't be able to deliver.
The universe finds fit to give him a means to rise to the occasion.
