    Summary

    Nyx tells him to stay in the House, to be wary. There are dangers outside, things that he doesn’t yet understand.
    Thanatos promises, and why would Nyx doubt him? He is a precocious child, and one eager to please his mother. As Nyx is quick to say, he is a good son; he wears his godhood with the maturity of one far older.
    But it is new, so new. When Nyx isn’t looking, Thanatos can't help but explore.
    So new: the stone and gloom of Tartarus, the orange burn of Asphodel, the rolling fields of Elysium. The coolness of the ground beneath the bushes, the way they catch at his hair when he hides in them. The light touch of the butterflies that soon begin to follow him, lonely souls that they are. The way they fluster and flutter as Mort snaps at them.
    It is a calm life, a still life, but one so very quiet around the edges.

    It isn’t easy growing up, even when you aren’t Death Incarnate.
    OR: a story following Thanatos as he learns to navigate the living, the dead, and, worst of all, feelings.

    Summary

    At some point, Marc slips away.

    It happens in a moment wedged between glasses of amber and notches on a belt. A time so obsessed with all that rushing water, but so slow-moving: like molasses, heavy on his limbs, heavier on his mind. Later, he’ll stare at the two or three blurry photos he has of himself as a kid and try to pinpoint the moment he fractured under the weight of it all. He couldn’t have been more than twelve.
