Summary
It’s good, the discomfort he feels. The guilt. The exhaustion of living like this. This is a gift, Olly’s gift to him—the ability to lie right beside him, the kindest man that might exist in the whole world, and feel just a bit rotten. More than a bit.
He gets to have Olly and keep him in his memories, which is more than Olruggio gets. He gets to know exactly how he feels and why and not have it stripped from him. He gets to love him and live. It should be enough. For Olruggio, who made it happen, it has to be enough.
So why come here to torture himself with what he can’t have?

Summary
“Years ago,” Qifrey says suddenly, “And you won’t remember this, you made me make you a promise. And I’ve kept it, until now.” As he talks, Qifrey fidgets with his hat. He turns it around and around in his hands, then unhooks the ribbon from the point.
“Hey—”
Olruggio steps forward as if to stop him, but it’s done. Qifrey twists the ribbon in his hand, crumpling it.
“That’s—”
“Your ribbon. And my promise. I’ve worn them both for years. For you. And for myself. But Olly—I asked you here because I can’t do it anymore.”

Summary
"I can’t believe we haven’t really talked since that night all those years ago,” Menelaus tells Patroclus. He laughs after it, a little unnaturally, following up with, “That was so crazy, right? Can you believe I haven’t kissed another guy since you?”
Achilles grins ferociously. “Can you, Pat?” he asks. “Can you believe that?”
Ten years after college, Patroclus and Achilles run into Menelaus, freshly dumped by Helen. They have some interesting suggestions for helping him get over his heartbreak.

Summary
The room looks different in the daylight, but still the same, the same smell, the same sounds, creaking wooden floors, creaking wooden bed frame. In his shoulder, an ache where the arrow struck, just under his collarbone. In his chest, a racing heart, acknowledging its near miss. Acknowledging this new, fresh hit.

Summary
Achilles places his hand over Zagreus’s heart. It pounds under his palm. Blood rushes through this warm body. Achilles has seen enough blood to last a thousand thousand lifetimes but finds himself drawn to it now, that jumping pulse on the side of his neck, the promise of life barely contained in this strange and beautiful body. He kisses the pulse, feels it flickering under his mouth, and whispers into the echoes of the god’s heartbeat, “Let him kiss you here.”
A love letter is sent from the depths of Hades’s House. Somewhere along the banks of the Lethe, someone accepts.

Summary
The weapon shudders in Thanatos’s hand, anticipating death. “You must hate me,” he whispers, “to keep doing this to me. To keep making me do this.”
Zagreus is still, and Thanatos finds himself leaning in, chasing the warmth. He hesitates. His scythe shakes in his hand again. Impatient.
“I don’t hate you,” Zagreus says, his voice and his face even, determined. “But I will break you.”
Thanatos as the Asphodel boss AU. It’s snowing on the surface, the Phlegethon burns, and Zagreus’s infernal heat slowly melts through Thanatos’s icy resolve.

Summary
Behind him, footsteps. And a voice says, “You’re the shoemaker?”
There is a moment where Patroclus only has the impression of gold—golden curls resting against broad tanned shoulders and a gold circlet hidden in his hair—before separate features emerge to create the image of a prince, finely albeit simply dressed in a white shirt tucked into a pair of dark blue pants.
“The shoemaker’s apprentice,” Patroclus corrects him gently. He bows just a little. Green eyes watch as he does. “I’m here to take some measurements. For your new—” His eyes fall on the prince’s feet and the words die in his throat. He’s wearing a heavy wooden shoe on his left foot and a cloth slipper on the other. Patroclus tries to take it in stride but finds himself looking questioningly at the prince.
“You are curious about my shoe,” the prince says. His voice is perfectly steady, unreadable.
In the tiny kingdom of Phthia, a golden prince is cursed with invulnerability except for a vulnerable heel. An exile apprenticed to a shoemaker is commissioned by the palace to create a shoe the prince can fight in.
A fairy tale about a curse, a magical shoe, a war, a doomed hero, an exile, destiny, and love despite everything.

Summary
Achilles had never told me that he loved me, and I had never told him. It was always understood between us, a truth as natural as breathing, buried deep beneath our skin and woven in our bones. Yet when he said my name like this —Patroclus, Pa-tro-clus— repeated it like a chant, like it was holy, I knew well what he meant.
And so did he.
