Summary
Five perspectives on Thanatos and Zagreus as they fall, and in the aftermath.
“He's not leaving,” Thanatos bites back. “There's nowhere to go.”
Ah, the words of a god. To Achilles’ once-mortal eyes, there are cracks and open windows and doors with just the right key and escape routes aplenty from the House. “So you'd think. I guess wherever he goes, you'll be seeing him either way.”
Thanatos turns to him and it's as if this had never occurred to him. “What do you mean?”
“Didn't you tell him? It's a hard world out there. I’m sure he'll find out, and I don't know anything that can bleed that doesn't wash up here eventually.”

Summary
“I’ll be fine, you know.” A cheeky dimple appears as Zagreus smiles. “I can’t die, remember? At least not permanently.”
“It doesn’t matter that it’s not permanent. Every time you die, I feel it.” Thanatos takes one of Zagreus’s hands from his waist and places it on his chest, over his heart. “I feel it here.”
Zagreus’s fingers curl into the material of his chiton. “Than…”
“A light goes out inside me, and a void lingers, there, where you should be, until I sense your return.” Thanatos looks away from Zagreus’s eyes then. It feels like flaying himself alive to confess to this. “It’s not as small a thing as you make it seem.”

Summary
“You’re so beautiful,” Zagreus whispers as if it’s a confession. He’s breathless with the truth of it. He kisses Than’s jaw before finding his lips. His skin thrills beneath Than’s touch. His heart lurches. “I—Than… you were just so beautiful.”
Speaking it doesn’t ease the pain; his chest feels as if it will crack, sending the love multiplying within him spilling forth, but such sublime suffering it is.
Than gets the recognition he deserves.

Summary
June is having a really bad day and is looking for a way to forget his troubles. Too much of a good (?) thing leads to a life-or-death decision.
*~*
June stared blankly at the glass in front of him, wondering when he'd finished his drink. He was pretty sure he'd just ordered it, but then, time was fuzzy tonight. He put the drink down on the bar, gripping the edge of the counter, so neither he nor the glass fell on the floor, and signaled to the bartender for another.
Most reputable bartenders would have cut him off by now, he was sure of it. But this wasn't a reputable bar, and so the bartender rang up another drink on the register and slid a full glass in front of him.
Picking up the glass, June toasted the bartender, and, ignoring how the liquid sloshed over the side and onto the bar, he downed it in one long sip. Then he did the same with the next. And the next. He was about to do the same with his tenth… eleventh?… drink of the night, when his phone vibrated in his pocket. Again.

Summary
Other days, lots of loud noises made her mad, ‘cause her head and ears hurt, and everything else would bother her too—even the clothes she wore would suddenly become tight or itchy, no matter how comfy they were earlier.
Uncle Seb always knew, though, and he’d take her away from the racket until she felt better. For some reason, the walls of Uncle Seb’s house trapped all the sound inside way better than the farmhouse did. Uncle Sterling liked to joke they’d made the house ‘soundproof’ because of how loud her uncles got. Daddy always blushed whenever he said that. Jade didn’t know why. Uncle Sam’s guitar could get really loud, and so could Uncle Seb’s keyboard. After all, she should know! Uncle Seb sometimes let her play his keyboard—especially since she’d started working on her big surprise.
A series of special moments between Jade Cohen-Choi and each of her daddies.
Gift fic written for Andrea_P_Quintell. I love her CBCK series—and especially Ben and June's youngest child, Jade.
