Summary
The adventures of a messy triad featuring Hades, Hythlodaeus, and an Azem named Dionysius. Everything (so far) takes place long before Elpis. This series is in chronological order and while all of the stories should be delicious and concise on their own, they all build off of each other, and share my collection of weird ancient headcanons.

Summary
Venat receives a visit from a young man who wishes to steady the Convocation and hear the wisdom of a retired Azem. Such would be far less unusual had the young man in question been publicly, notoriously deceased.
That she's actively plotting a coup doesn't help matters, either.

Summary
Instead, he thinks about how Hades will be waiting at home for him. Ordinarily, they would arrive at approximately the same time, but today he knows Hades left early because Emet-Selch, Hades' superior, had told him so in the very office where Hades works.
This means Hythlodaeus has twenty minutes to figure out how to break the news.
『Or, Hythlodaeus recommends Hades to the Convocation—without Hades' knowledge.』

Summary
After a relentless string of storms hits Amaurot, Azem finds herself temporarily homeless while the Words of Deudalaphon effect architectural repairs. Emet-Selch, in an extraordinary lapse of judgment, agrees to take her in.
(Had he known about the bothersome lump of a cat that would accompany her, he would have happily left them both to drown in the rain.)

Summary
It falls to Hades to give the final approval on a new concept—the cat. Shenanigans ensue, and Hades is not amused.
“A cat.” Hades tested the name on his tongue. His eyes… watering. “Why is it making that sound?”
“It is pleased.” Hythlodaeus stroked his hand along its body. The sound only grew louder. “Lahabrea was adamant that it be named. It helps expedite… bonding.”
“I trust Lahabrea as far as I can throw him,” Hades quipped. “Therefore, I will absolutely not—“
“You could name it after her.”
“No,” Hades growled.
“Or, after something she loves,” Hythlodaeus kept on. “Stars. The Zodiacus—“
“Diacus, then,” Hades shot out, exasperated. Tired. “Does it truly matter?”
Hythlodaeus scratched the underside of the cat’s chin. “Diacus. What do you think? Good name?”
The creature nuzzled his fingers, still quite pleased with itself.

Emet-Selch has always had a penchant for theater. To play a concept submitting to his Overseers is an intoxicating premise.

Summary
Elidibus’ smile was cheery beneath his red mask, “I have a small request I had hoped you might assist with. Have you seen Azem?” Emet-Selch stiffened.
“Why, what’s she done now?” he asked bluntly — and why is it about to become my problem?
“Nothing!” Elidibus gave a little laugh, “well, specifically she hasn’t done something she was meant to. That is, she neglected to give me her latest report before she left yesterday. I need to review it before the meeting day after tomorrow, to avoid surprises. I am simply swamped preparing, you understand, besides having no idea how to find her, so I would be ever so grateful if you could…” he waggled his fingers near his eyes and Emet-Selch tiredly closed his own on that expectant expression as he imagined his peaceful morning of industrious solitude fading into the distance.Or an amusing tale of that time Azem might have tricked Emet-Selch into spending the day with her.
