Summary
At first, it is like the moment he died. A dark abyss, the absence of thought.
There is feeling in the darkness however, coming into relief gradually—his limbs sing with the ache from a pleasure-laced bite of a rope, holding him up like the long, weaving sinews that tether the immortal soul to a mortal life. His arms, he finds with a flex of his muscles, are bound tightly behind his back. The bindings weave down from his neck and chest, down to his hips; and then further below, where his calf hugs against the corded flesh of his upper thigh. He feels as if he is kneeling upright upon a cloud, suspended in the air. He struggles against the rope with an experimental fussing—the weight of his dangling body sways slightly from the momentum it creates.
His blood begins to stir at the feeling of such helplessness. But there is also something else he would like to assess.
“Patroclus,” Achilles calls out into the void.
There is no answer. Ah.
One deprived of sight, the other deprived of hearing — Achilles & Patroclus are still able to revel in the ecstasy of one another. Each chapter is the same scene from each pov, experienced very differently.

Summary
“I don’t think you need to worry about it too much, Than,” Meg says. “I believe our Zagreus to be actually quite undiscriminating in matters of pleasure. And I mean that as a compliment.” She turns, nodding to Zagreus. “I think it is a virtue of his to be able to take joy in almost whatever life has to offer. And as I recently discovered, it turns out he has quite a knack for being able to bestow such an outlook onto others, as well. Our prince is perhaps much wiser than I often gave him credit for.” Megaera’s arms are now crossed, looking between them with a subdued, yet knowing expression. “In any case… I believe we have exhausted our ability to deal with this matter over drinks. Come, let us move our conference elsewhere.”
“Where are we going?” Zagreus asks, quickly draining his bottle before he has to abandon it.
“Your room.”
After successfully romancing both Megaera and Thanatos, Zagreus finds that he and Than are tentative about establishing a physically intimate relationship. Luckily Meg, with whom Zagreus already has a sexual history, is willing to help.

Summary
For many of the shades in the underworld, even those in the ostensible paradise of Elysium, the only distraction from their own eternal gloom is observing the tribulations of another. And Patroclus, son of Menoetius attracted an ample audience to his wretched suffering. Of course, he had ignored you and all the rest during that time, giving no indication he even deigned to make himself aware of your presence. In any case, you and others kept a respectful distance.
