A/N: Dear prompter: It seems my idea ran away from the original prompt a little here - I hope you still enjoy it! This is actually my second idea, since the first one turned out... Not feasible with the time at hand. I am planning to write it one day, though. One day.
This fic would not have been possible without a literal army of people supporting me through my frustrated screaming. R., thank you for your support! W. and I., thank you for your spontaneous and quick beta work, your tagging, and I., your summary help. C., even though I couldn't use the primary idea this time, I'd like to thank you for your immense help. Your ideas and suggestions are absolutely top-notch. Every time.
And thank you so much to the mods, especially Torino, for organising this, and for your patience!
I know I'm butchering the original Ancient Greek concept of Diipetes here - I hope you can forgive me for that. Also, one scene is strongly influenced by AUctoberfest prompt 2022-05 (a soulmate bond manifesting through healing touch).
Alright, enough waffling. Have fun!
