    Summary

    Thanatos sees it now. His time with Zagreus gave rise to more than just reverent adoration, far more than what awkward confessions and quiet, gentle lovemaking could slake. There is so much more that lives inside of him, feelings that don't have words and those that do (but should not be said out loud). Ugly, raw feelings that burn him up from the inside out, as impossible to control as they are to deny.

    And Thanatos can no longer do either.

    Zagreus is an exception, as he often is.

    Summary

    He's late, he realizes.

    There's a lot of blood here, he realizes a moment later. Not the blackened stains of shades temporarily banished, but the dark-red and glistening of mortal blood, spattered in desperate arcs across the grass, staining the water where the River Lethe pools. Across the chamber, it shifts to a trail of blood, the imprint of bare footprints burned into the darkening liquid.

    There. There, slumped with his back against a green-glowing infernal trove, an ethereal sword buried in his chest, a pool of blood slowly spreading beneath him—Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld, his warmth and light so faded that Thanatos didn't even realize he was still in the chamber.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    And Than thinks about a hundred lonely deaths, thinks about a hundred violent ends and the fact that Zag's smile never falters, his fire never fades despite all he's suffered.

    Summary

    She can feel her heart pounding like a war drum and she feels like she's going to explode, because they left her. Every single one of them left her and she couldn't do a damned thing; she stood there and watched them leave like a stupid little doll. (Kagura's childhood - being helpless and being left behind.)

    sometimes the only way to chase away the ghosts is to have a warm, living person to chase them away for you.

    Summary

    He is you, and you, he.

    He has your eyes (yours, jaded emerald, and his, wine red) and your hands (the same bloody ones) and your skin (and your heart).

    You have sworn to burn the universe, but not him, that’s not what he did, not that one: he swore to live, he swore to forgive.
