Summary
Phoenix Gate goes a bit differently, Ultima needs to take different paths to his goals, and Joshua doesn’t believe in himself, to put it lightly. Also, the Blight is much delayed and has only started to happen, and people have discovered that ground up crystals are fun to snort.
Joshua and Dion will eventually find a way to a true version of each other, but they fumble (a lot) at first.

Summary
"Phoenix," he breathed, the gladness rising in his chest. "You are…alive."
Alive?
Dion saw the colors, the flame in the hair and the blue-green eyes. But it was all no more than watercolor, faint and translucent against the dead slate of the sky and the dark wood of the ship.
He could see through Joshua.
"Only just," Joshua replied, the gentle drop of his voice on the last word the same as the last time he had said it to Dion. He smiled sadly. "The same, it seems, as you."
After Origin, Dion and Joshua each have their own reasons for being reluctant to come back to the land of the living. Each serves as a guide to the other on a voyage through what they'd be missing, and of course they find each other on the way.

Summary
Tarja’s voice played back to him. “Joshua lies in a type of… suspended-death. I would not say he is in any state of life, though others may think differently; I have seen Bearers calcified to complete paralysis with more life in them. Although he has no injuries and Ultima’s prison is gone, his heart does not beat, and he does not breathe. He seems to be at peace but his body… is not moving on.”
Dion wakes up after Origin to find that he has survived, but Joshua has…not. But he isn’t gone, either. A story about Dion coming to understand who he is, what Joshua means to him, and what he must finally do.

Summary
The assistants’ whispers were also different.
One was sorrowful. “But..he is…”
Another was determined, nearly desperate. “There has to be something we can do.”
Dion’s memory came back to him, and he bolted upright.
Clive healed Joshua but couldn't bring him back all the way. Dion will have to figure out the rest.

Summary

Summary
Joshua was struck dumb as the sheer physicality rushed every vivid, rapturous, obscene thought he used to have back to him.
Post-Origin, Archduke Joshua Rosfield and Emperor Dion Lesage rebuild Storm. However, long simmering desires start to come to the fore, and can no longer be denied.
Or
Joshua and Dion have always been horny for each other (so terribly, terribly horny), but each never realized the other was thinking the same thing.

Summary
He turned around. The hand drew back as he moved, and the person it belonged to did as well.
Except it wasn’t a person. Or maybe it was. Joshua was confused by what he saw. A boy his age, with light blond hair and the most entrancing brown eyes he had ever seen. They seemed lit from behind, and shone like soft gold. Set in contrast to those eyes, behind the boy’s shoulders, spread dragon’s wings that were gray and gleaming with green-blue-silver.What if Dion was raised by dragons?
No Dominant for Sanbreque means a lot of different things: no Remembrance Ceremony, no opportunity for Anabella to scheme, no Phoenix Gate. So here we play out the "what if": how do Dion and Joshua meet as children, and then later as adults? What happens when Rosaria is the strongest country? What is the meaning of "duty" when one is more dragon than man?
