    Summary

    Ever since starting their relationship a few months ago, Iso finds great enjoyment in these kinds of soft, simple comforts––Iso resting his hand on Gekko’s knee at team dinners and Gekko sliding his fingers in between Iso’s, Gekko and Iso going out for late afternoon boba and sharing sips of their drinks, and Gekko burying his face in the crook of Iso’s neck when his head is pounding and he needs a moment to ground himself. Gekko feels like a home for Iso, a shelter of joy and contentment. In the endless everyday chaos of the Protocol, Gekko is a beacon of peace. Simple, meaningful pleasures.

    or: Iso has to learn how to navigate a romantic relationship in a line of work that punishes it

    Summary

    “Some believe that black butterflies are symbols of renewal—rebirth.” She smiles wistfully as one of the fragile little creatures perches on her finger, “Others believe that they are harbingers of death and other misfortune.”

    “A harbinger of death…” He traces a finger over the left wing of the pinned butterfly that Thanatos had gifted him. Persephone’s smile widens, a knowing gleam in her gentle green eyes as she beholds her son.

    “You know…” his mother taps him on the shoulder, an inch or so away from his keepsake. “Purple butterflies have a very special meaning as well. They’re a reminder to be patient and keep the faith, to have courage and trust in yourself.” She says.

    Zagreus blushes violently, “I… really don’t know if Thanatos put that much thought into it…” Oh, what is he saying? Of course Thanatos had put that much thought into his keepsake. Thanatos thinks deeply about everything.

    Persephone shrugs, unconvinced. “A mother knows these things, darling.”

    Summary

    The thread of Zagreus' life always pulled at Thanatos' awareness, shining brighter than that of any other. As he shifted away from the surface, he followed that thread to Zagreus' side, and was pleasantly surprised to appear not in the middle of a wretched battle but in the safety of Zagreus' chambers. He was more pleasantly surprised, albeit in a different way, when the green flash of his arrival receded and the scene before him came into focus.

    Thanatos returns to the House of Hades ahead of schedule. Zagreus is suprised to have him back early, but he knows how to make the most of that situation.
