Summary
“Art thou an angel? An angel sent to me?”
This question did not seem to reach the ears of this pale angel. His eyes scrunched up though, and he only leaned in closer, catching the breath of Zagreus as he closed his mouth suddenly. This angel was much too holy to ever be near somebody as demonic as he was.
· · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · ·
Chronos won, and he won swiftly. They died, and were reincarnated within more modern times, as in, near the nineteenth century. Except..Something went wrong. Zagreus was meant to be in his home, the House of Hades, but he was raised from infancy within a brothel of Paris. Mistreated and deluded into believing this half-life of his was the best he was going to receive, he finds himself desirous of the first man to ever show any sort of deeper connection to him.
Did it even matter that it was in a dream?

Summary
“Zagreus,” Thanatos sighed, a low and lonesome sound. “What is it that you need from me?”
“Sleep,” came the choked reply. “Please. Whatever you must do. Anything to get me to sleep.”
Or: Zagreus traverses the Underworld in endless cycles, unable to find any rest; though he grows stronger each time that he perishes, his body refuses to let him sleep. For this, he seeks a begrudging Thanatos, who becomes his only respite.
| Inspired by the response given when interacting with Zagreus' bed in his chambers - "can't sleep". A slow-burn, Thanatos-centric character exploration/ZagThan coming-together story. |

Summary
Zagreus clears his throat, takes a deep breath, and shouts.
“Achilles!”
Nobody freezes up, as does No-one, and there's silence for only a second before—
“Odysseus!”
———
Or; Zagreus tells Achilles about the new Champions of Elysium and he asks to meet them. Or, more accurately, he asks to be reintroduced so he can yell at and talk shit with one of them. Patroclus, Diomedes, and Zagreus are all just along for the ride.

Summary
“It had always felt like there was some sort of gaping emptiness there, like a hole that Zagreus couldn’t quite fill, no matter how hard he tried. Truly, he had tried. Back when he was younger, he used to do anything to get Hades’ attention- he wanted nothing more than for his father to express his pride and affection for his son. However, it never seemed to work. There were some days/nights when Hades couldn’t even seem to bring himself to look at Zagreus. Nyx and Achilles tried to reassure him and tell him that it wasn’t his fault, but he saw past their false comforts.
The simple truth was that Hades didn’t like Zagreus. That was fine. Zagreus didn’t like him either. Sure, every petty insult stung like a stab wound, but he could tune out the noise. He had tried to change every aspect of himself to get Hades to love him when he was little- well, then, he could change it back. He learned to embrace his identity as the King of the Underworld’s wayward son, drifting aimlessly and lacking a purpose.”
Zagreus runs until he can’t, and he finds himself along the way.

Summary
"Naturally, things get worse.
He tries to sleep that night, he really does. He’s exhausted, his body begging him to rest. He falls asleep without trouble, but wakes up gasping within the hour. He doesn’t remember the specifics of the dream, but his heart is pounding and his brain is on overdrive. His hands shake as he reminds himself to breathe in and out. ‘They’re in Jackson, Ellie is safe, they’re both home and safe’, he thinks to himself.
But it’s not enough. It never is."
___________________Joel stops sleeping and it leads to some pretty dire consequences.

Summary
“Maybe I should sleep here tonight,” Ellie confesses, reaching for her blanket and weakly wrapping it around her. “You can make sure my arm doesn’t peel off in the middle of the night.”
Joel’s face pales at the image; but, he still reaches forward and finishes wrapping the blanket more snuggly around her, tucking her in. “It’d be my greatest honor,” he says.
Ellie could easily poke back in jest, but when he presses a kiss to her temple she realizes that maybe his heart is as exposed and raw as hers. That’s maybe, wrapping her up in a blanket, feeding her soup, and trying to kiss the physical pain away really is his greatest honor. She doesn’t have any reason not to believe him.
After all, he’s always been a terrible liar.
or;
Ellie, Joel, and a collection of important late night sleepovers.

No living thing has seen Din's face since he was very, very young.
There's a good reason for that.
Now, he's left with nothing aside from his armor and a sword he never asked for, having lost his foundling, his tribe, and his ship. It's a good thing he has friends to help him pick up the pieces- If he can keep their curiosity from picking up on what he's tried so desparately to keep hidden all these years.
