I wrote it in high school AU! Cuz that's what I am most familiar with. (I might make a longer/more complete version if I get motivated... hope you like it!
You’re the quiet one in the back of the class- always reserved, never really joining conversations, and hardly anyone remembers your name. You don’t mind, though. Friends are complicated, and you’ve got your own little joy: scrolling through endless pictures of cute dogs on your phone. “OMG! Snowy you are the best!” Staring at your favourite account dedicated to posting pictures of a white samoyed ‘Snowy’, “SnowyBorkLord (the account handle) is so lucky to have such a cutie as his best friend” feeling sad as you make that comment to no one in particular. The posts are filled with silly captions and photos that make you smile quietly to yourself. You don’t know who owns the account, but you’ve liked nearly every picture since it started. Snowy feels like your little secret escape.
What you don’t know is that Snowy isn’t just anyone’s pet- he belongs to the most popular senior in school. Phainon, the one everyone adores, talks about, and envies. One day, when he happens to notice you scrolling through your phone with the faintest smile, curiosity makes him lean closer. His sharp blue eyes catch the familiar layout of his own anonymous account. The realization that someone like you- so shy, so quiet, so different from the noisy crowd always around him- loves Snowy sends a strange thrill through his chest. From then on, it starts innocently. He approaches you, using Snowy as the excuse, asking if you really liked Samoyeds. You’re surprised, but you answer softly, and that’s all it takes. One conversation becomes two, then more.
For the first time, he sees someone not worshipping him for their looks, charm, or status… but for something genuine.
Soon, the adored senior is glued to your side, hungry for your attention, obsessed with every small reaction you give. Snowy might have been the reason he slipped into your world, but now he can’t get enough of you. The more he sees, the more he wants- and slowly, his admiration twists into an unhealthy obsession that you can’t quite escape.
The phainoning is never ending, and nothing can stop it. So here goes to the 2nd placeholder in the polls. Also, wrote a lil smthg extra at the end because braincells would not stop yapping to my friend.
(Notes are at the end of the Fic, just in case of confusion and not to ruin the pace. ALSO GOT HELP FROM A FRIEND WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE NAMED BUT I AM REALLY GRATEFUL FOR IT 😭)
When you moved into the neighborhood at the tender age of five, you were immediately greeted by a rather peculiar set of brothers: The eldest, Khaslana, a boy with beautiful wheat-like hair and serene golden hues reminding you of the setting sun over the horizon. Next to him stood Neikos; a smaller boy with opposite features to Khaslana, with dusky grey hair obscured by his black hoodie, making his dull blue orbs stand out all the more- a reminder of the night sky. Between them was the bursting ball of energy with snow white hair, two thick tufts having a life of their own paired with his wide, azure eyes similar to the other boy but his feel as if they are full of life somehow, Phainon.
Phainon was the first to greet you and just like that, he pulled you into his world, constantly inviting you to play and explore with him with innocent excitement, making it hard for you to say no at the time with how infectious he was. Neikos, meanwhile, stood awkwardly in the back until he too is dragged by Phainon into his shenanigans with you. Khaslana, a figure you initially found intimidating perhaps due to his cold features or rather rare presence with his school life being older. At times when he was present, he would make thoughtful gestures of a helping hand here and there while also avoiding your face-first collision with the ground. Over time, his presence made you feel more comfortable and protected, his deep care apparent in every action.
The three siblings shared a special bond, especially with the presence of their fluffy Samoyed, Snowy, who had been with them since Phainon and your last year in grade school. Snowy, with his friendly and protective nature, became a comforting presence for you as well, often joining in your games or quietly sitting by your side.
As the seasons passed, your friendship with the brothers grew deeper, but unbeknownst to you, so did a darker undercurrent.
Khaslana’s mature and protective nature twisted into an unbearable need to control. He watched every person who came near you with silent fury, calculating how to keep you bonded to him and his brothers alone. When you laughed with another child, one who wasn’t Neikos or Phainon, his grip tightened invisibly. His love demanding exclusivity, his thoughts darkening with “Can you not see? They are with us.”
Neikos' quiet demeanor masked a brooding obsession. Shadows became his allies as he followed you from a distance, unseen yet always present. He whispered reassurances of protection- more to himself that he was doing the right thing- but there was a sinister edge in his voice- suggesting he would do far more than guard you. During high school, when you got hit on by some jock you brushed it off jokingly. The next time you saw him next to Phainon before afternoon practice, his head hung low with noticeable bruised arms. He never once met your gaze during his brief conversation but you could feel the tension. It wasn’t until the silent glares from Neikos that you had put two or two together. You thought the sudden change was a bit weird but you moved on nonetheless. Since then you constantly feel a pair of eyes preying on, a chilling reminder: “You’re mine. No one can have you but us.” The message was clear, an invisible leash tangled around your life.
Phainon’s cuteness cloaked a fiery need, a desperate plea mixed with frantic dread when you weren’t around. His cheerful face twisted in anguish at the thought of not being besides you each and every second, playing sweetly with others while harboring an intensity that could consume all. He treats you like his lucky charm for his games to ensure his victory and that your eyes are forever focused on him, where he could see you. When you tried to spend time apart, his bright eyes darkened, and pleas turned into veiled threats. “But you promised!” he’d whisper, “I can’t lose you. Nobody else should have you.”
What began as a simple friendship evolved into something far more complex and darker; as all three found themselves utterly captivated by you. Their feelings took a darker turn, a fierce devotion that bordered on obsession. Despite the underlying intensity, the brothers’ love was fiercely loyal and encompassing. Surrounding you with affection and care, bound closely by their unbreakable sibling bond and by their shared devotion to you. Your life intertwined with theirs in a complex web of childhood innocence and obsessive devotion. The neighborhood felt safer with them around, but beneath the surface, their love for you was powerful enough to consume everything else.
Notes: Phai and Reader are same age. YES, Neikos is Reaver who is 2 years older than the former two while Khas is older by 5 years.
BONUS:
So... I was wondering while writing Phainon's part that what if Mydei is Reader's Cousin whom he treats as a lil sister despite only being a few months apart... How would Phainon see this you know....
It's been a few months since your family first moved into the neighborhood and so your cousin Mydei and his mother came for a visit and were staying over for a few days. Mydei has been a quiet protector, a presence that would shield you from any and all harm. When the siblings first saw him as suspicious, especially Phainon, who saw Mydei as a direct threat, someone who would take you away from the tight circle of his family. Unlike before, Phainon’s bright, cheerful demeanor cracked, replaced by a fierce and possessive tension whenever Mydei was around, casting a shadow over his usual playful nature. Khaslana and Neikos, too, grew increasingly cautious of Mydei as well.
Mydei, strong and protective in his own right, remained largely unaware of the storm brewing beneath the surface. He viewed his role as your guardian, as remarked by his mother, to treat you as preciously as he would his own sister.
Despite this, Phainon couldn’t help but be drawn into a reluctant rivalry with Mydei. The two of them, close in age, began competing in everything from running races to games and small challenges, each trying to prove their worth and claim on you. For Phainon, these competitions weren’t just about fun- they were desperate attempts to show you that he was the better choice, the one who truly belonged in your life. His cheerful exterior masked an underlying jealousy burning just beneath the surface.
The competitions between Phainon and Mydei escalated with time: each victory and defeat strengthening Phainon’s precarious hold on his sanity and heightening the stakes in this twisted contest of devotion. Phainon’s perceived threat of losing you twisted his warm-hearted charm into dangerous fixation, his actions veering deeper into possessiveness and control with each passing day. Mydei’s quiet strength challenged his obsessive hold, making your world a delicate balance of love, rivalry, and unseen dangers. The obsession grew darker, suffocating, and fiercely territorial as none of them were willing to relinquish their claim.
Okay, so I was studying for my poetry paper, and all the specific studies are of love poetries and that made me wonder... What if phainon writes those, oh so sweet love poems for reader... Something about him l having that oh so sweet and persuasive tongue...
He is definitely a smooth talker... manipulating our hearts with the shortest amount of diction... I see potential...
Okay, that's just me rambling, but I wonder if anyone else ever thought of this, lol

This just me hcs my obsessions together lmao but maybe I wanna explore more on the idea.... Let me know what you all think!
At this point, I have so many phai×reader Aus and Hcs that I am confident I could write a 90+ grade final paper for my lit studies or smthg.... I also shared my whole ass list with my lecture mates. FYI, they only know phainon as the character from some game I am obsessed with 😭
Made them pick their fav ones, and it was an interesting crowd despite knowing nothing about him. So, I thought of asking you guys over tumblr about which ones you like!
Note: it was really hard to only pick a few basic or rather interesting ones for me. Also, let me know your thoughts because I am brainrot deprived recently. You might notice a pattern here...
Feel free to choose whichever speaks the most to you, and let me know which other (non-mentioned) ones you think about most.
Omg! Thank you so much for the asks- (I am not a poster on tumblr, so I didn't know I had to activate the asks 😅)
To answer a few common questions, I got:
Q. Am I gonna make them all into fics?
A. Ngl, these were a one-off poll because I just wanted to know what your fellow phai-lovers think and enjoy the most! Also, I think there is probably a bunch of fics based on each one since I complied them from my personal phai-fic collection!
I have never really written fics since like Jr. High and especially not for others to read lol... but I will try to write mini one off ideas based on each! Let me know if u can find fics with similar idea and maybe we can discuss! If not and if anyone interested I can try cooking smthg up! But no guarantees if it will cater to all!
Q. Which one is my favourite au/prompt?
A. I love all cuz it's phainon. I am based ty- jk also I think I never mentioned but I see most if not all aus in a yandere phai setting cuz that's just my thing but if anyone has any good ones in the fluff alley I might devour that too!
Q. Do I have more?
A. Yes, of course. It's never enough phainon!
I hope I was able to make it more apparent since I got a lot of questions after the polls ended. lol- also feel free to send more asks since I am always open to yaps abt phainon or any characters.
