I can't help but feel my heart tighten every time I remember the 23,570,001th cycle of the eternal reoccurrences, the one where khaslana/flame reaver decided to stay and protect aedes elysia and that cycle's young phainon. everything about it drives me mad, but what did it the most was the fact that phainon made a grave for cyrene.

it seems expected, and even obvious, but it really made me think: what was it like to be able to mourn her? the phainon we meet, and undoubtedly countless other phainons never got to fully unpack the trauma of losing her, because most of the time, he'd lose his whole village and family along with her. but in this one reoccurrence, he's able to stay behind and help his family rebuild their village. he still lost her, but the magic of being in aedes elysiae is that even when gone, you can still sense her everywhere. this is a feeling the devs imparted well when designing the map, because i can feel it when i watch that swing go back and forth with the breeze while listening to the violin version of the elysiae melody. having his hometown, friends, family and community around him definitely gave that phainon a chance at healing that we didn't get to see in any other cycle.

and even many years after the tragedy, he would still dream of her, still wake up with the illusion of having her there with him. routinely he would visit the grave he made for her, right by the seaside, and carefully clean it to then gift her a bouquet and sit by her side, keeping her company even beyond death.

cyrene's fate doesn't change, she still has to die every cycle and record their stories until a new dawn arrives, but this one time, phainon was able to live peacefully after her parting. whereas in the penultimate cycle that wound was left wide open and festering, giving rise to rage and a desire for vengeance, in this one he could simply stay with his aedes elysiae and cherish the memory of that dear friend.

when cyrene wrote those memories down at the end of the cycle, what did she think? how did she feel? did she know that this was the gentlest ending she and he could have possibly gotten? did Lament seize her heart more intensely than ever before? How must it have been to watch your loved ones suffer after your demise?

these kids drive me insane

sales associate!phainon that spends a little too much time helping you out—so much so that his manager has to scold him over the walkie

but he can’t help himself. he found you cute the moment you walked in and he couldn’t fight his urges.

if he worked in a make up department store he would let you swatch every lipstick or gloss color on him. if he sold clothes, he would give you the best advice and styling tips that will make any outfit flattering. he will take the last size from the mannequins, run across the store to fetch you a shirt from the back, he would do anything to help you!

imagine his joy when you stayed outside, waiting for him to get off of work to ask him for dinner.

₊˚ෆ mobile-suit pilot!cipher x engineer!fem!reader.

⤷ inspired by mobile-suit gundam // same universe as this phainon fic.

˚₊‧꒰ა thief star; cifera. 

⤷ while some people knew khaslana as somewhat of a troublemaker, cifera was one of the worse. oftentimes coming back with a few more than just scratches. parts of her armor would be caked in mud—almost as if she had been rolling in it. and perhaps to some extent she was, only because her pilot wanted to see her favorite engineer turned janitor. 

⤷ you were unfortunately assigned to being cipher’s handler and engineer for OX-945 cifera. you were someone that she could rely on if her mobile suit failed or needed repairs. anything that she wanted done, you had to do. although you were able to pull her away from some ideas (like installing a snack bar inside her own cockpit), most of the changes were inevitably implemented. 

⤷ as a supporter of the flame chase, your job as engineer meant more than you liked. there was a lot of pressure keeping these walking (and flying) nuclear bombs safe. more so when your pilot, cipher, liked to run across the fields, using her suit for more than just fighting. you find her sitting on top of her mech, admiring the cool breeze on her face as she bathed beneath the sun—just waiting for your scolding. 

⤷ aglaea found your bickerings to be quite entertaining. she once told you offhandedly that your partnership with cipher was a big deal, and that no one else could do the job you did. you didn’t know the meaning of her words until much later, when war carved itself into your soldiers, weakening them to their knees. it was you and cipher bringing life into the halls. laughing and chasing after each other over petty bread.

⤷ everyone saw her as a confident pilot. a mischievous girl who liked to steal jello cups from the cafeteria. a person who would oftentimes sit alone despite claiming to have many friends. you found her sitting in her cockpit once, wiping away at her eyes before she turned to face you. you think that underneath this confident guise, she was a little more fragile. 

⤷ while fixing her mobile suit, cipher suggested a short test flight. just to check if the engines were working. making sure everything ran smoothly for their next fight. what you didn’t expect was for the young girl to practically kidnap you–shoving you into the cockpit as she starts up her mech. beneath your protests were signs of laughter and joy, as she rockets through the sky, shooting past the atmosphere and into the stars. 

⤷ despite traveling to space a few times, the sight of the dazzling stars never failed to amaze you. when cipher turned in your direction, seeing the bright expression on your face, she is reminded of the childish whimsy that every soldier forgets in war. despite not wanting to be a chrysos heir at first, her time at amphoreus corporation has changed her. she thinks: this is her reason to fight. a reason to keep going. 

⤷ for cipher: you were her reason to living.

“you should turn that frown upside down,” cipher coos, looking up at you with a catty expression. the two of you were sitting in the mess hall, chewing on one of the many tasteless grub that the company offers. you were currently on lunch break. after a restless day of combing through data and welding new iron plates for cifera, you were dying for some food. 

“you better be careful (name). if you keep scowling like that, you might get permanent wrinkles on your pretty face.”

“wrinkles are already permanent.”

your words do very little to phase her. if anything, it only eggs cipher–begging her to continue her strange remarks. without saying anything, she reaches over to brush a finger over your top lip, picking up a small flicker of sauce. her tongue pokes out to lick the remainder off of her finger. 

“leave it to anaxa to make food taste like nothing.” she flops down onto her chair, groaning as she flattens her body. leaning her head against the metallic table, you hear her kicking her feet. “i thought this was supposed to be pumpkin pie. why don’t we have anything else to eat?”

“well, considering the influx of pumpkins… thats all we’re going to be eating for the next two weeks.” alongside the renowned professor anaxagoras, your fellow bio-researcher, hyacine, created a farm that was able to rapidly produce fresh food for your journey in space. the only drawback was that with every subsequent creation, the taste becomes less pronounced. 

the only way you could stomach pumpkin now if it was blended into a puree or hidden between some pie crust. even then, you had to find some form of strength to swallow it. 

suddenly, you feel a foot tickle the side of your ankle. it drags up and down, rubbing against you like a clever cat. a sigh escapes your lips, and you decide to lean back into your seat, entertaining the girl in front of you. you raise your leg, pushing it back into her own corner. cipher’s eyes shine with a glimmer of mischief, and she does the same—forcing you into a game of footsies. 

“you know you can’t win against me.”

“really? lets try it then.”

it is no surprise that when aglaea enters the mess hall, trying to look for cipher, she sees the two of you engaged in an intense game of footsies—with neither of you coming out as the clear winner. she shakes her head before turning away, knowing very well that when the two of you were together, there was no stopping your foolish games.
