    Summary

    “Dion. I know the Empire has asked much of you. That it still does. But when all of this is over… you can be whatever you wish to be. Not a Dominant, not an Emperor, not a soldier. Just… you.”

    You. Dion’s mouth felt suddenly dry. Who was he, really, without those things? For as long as he could remember, he had built his life around Bahamut’s wings. He had desired that life, grown into it. Perhaps his bones were crooked and he ached with every step, but it was part of it, was it not? What was life without a little pain?

    “When that time comes, whatever you choose – know this. You will not be alone. You will never be alone again.”

    ---

    Dion wakes to an Empire in ruins. His wings clipped and his home destroyed, he must find a way to live again and atone for his sins. But destruction seems to follow him wherever he walks, and the hardest task is learning to forgive himself.

    Re-telling of post-Twinside until the end of the game and after, from Dion's POV. Mostly canon compliant with missing scenes, filled in. Angst with a happy ending.

    Summary

    “We can’t let the rain go on,” said Zagreus. He was too weak for his voice to project. He had no idea if Chaos could hear him. “So you’re saying, to break it, we have to…?”

    Chaos turned their head in his direction. Their eyes—the ones in their face—were a swirling, depthless violet.

    // Persistent rains begin to fall over the Styx. Zagreus and Thanatos strike a deal with Hades to get to the bottom of it.
