    Stede let Ed take his hands.

    ---

    Summary

    “Is a love unrequited not the purest form in the world?” Ares asked, pointedly. “To love unbidden, knowing that you will receive nothing in return. To love purely because there is no other option, unsullied by discontent and ulterior forces. Tell me, Thanatos, is that not good?"

    Or, Thanatos is in love, and does not know how to say it. Zagreus is too busy trying to undermine his father to stop and listen.

    Summary

    “It’s like he’s knocked out, or something,” Jester said, very seriously, “he can’t hear you, or see you. I don’t even think he can feel anything, if I’m remembering right.”

    Mollymauk watched Caleb in that strange glass-eyed drowse, and came to the startling realisation that he loved him. Confessions could come easily when Caleb would never truly know, after all.

    Spoiler; Jester did not remember right.

    Summary

    He knew why. He wished that he did not but deep down he knew. They both did, at one point or another. Maybe not in words, but it was between them all the same. The way that they knew that the sky was blue and how the sun-warmed sand burned like fire. Theo loved Boris and perhaps, although he was a fool to believe it, maybe Boris loved him a little bit too.
