What Fools These Mortals Be by MerryFinches, SoNotTheKraken

Summary
Edward Teach is done being Blackbeard, he thinks. He's kept up with the persona for years, traveling and performing at Ren Faires all over the country. He's even been running his own faire, Blackbeard's Faire, for a while, which would've been perfectly great if not for the totally unnecessary and petty competition from the local Shakespeare in the Park group. That, and performing for audiences these days just doesn't spark joy like it used to. Edward's thinking of packing it all in... until he finds himself utterly and hopelessly enchanted by the new Shakespeare in the Park director.

O stay, o spite! How many times must I watch Helios cross the sky before I may once again feast at this table of delights??

Summary
In a stolen moment of calm amid his escape attempts, Zagreus seeks relief of a more personal nature in the seclusion of Patroclus' glade. Unfortunately, he's caught in his private indulgence by Patroclus himself. Far from being upset, Patroclus invites the prince to stay a little while.
Things are just starting to get interesting when Achilles stumbles onto the scene. After a moment of wide-eyed surprise, Achilles' shock quickly turns into interest. Tangled up with these two eager mentors, Zagreus discovers that losing himself in the rhythm of shared pleasure is the perfect way to forget his troubles, even if only for a little while. Turns out, there's nothing quite like the attentions of two devoted comrades to help a guy blow off some steam.Bookmarked by Ready_Player_Two

Summary
One day on the surface Zagreus receives his first ever prayer from a mortal, requesting his aid in the form of a boon.
The problem is, Zagreus has no idea how to answer it, and even worse, he can only hear the prayer while he is on the surface where his body is actively dying by the second.
Unable to think of anything better to do, he throws his body at the problem over and over, until one day he becomes desperate enough to defy death in the Overworld. This starts to cause problems for Thanatos’ work-life balance.
About when Zagreus and Thanatos' divine natures come into conflict.Series

Summary
In the chaotic years after Steve Rogers arrives back in 2023 as an old man, he helps rebuild the world, falls in love with his best friend, adopts a stray cat, and saves the entire timeline. Not necessarily in that order.
—
“Now you’re slow enough for me to catch you the next time you try to do something stupid.” Bucky leans close and jostles their arms together. “That’s the best part.”
Steve presses a wrinkled hand to his chest. “I’ve matured, James Barnes. I would never do something stupid.”
Bucky rolls his eyes and drops an arm over Steve’s stooped shoulders. “Yeah, you’re still a punk, old man.”

There’s something about this fic, this canon continuance. I never thought I’d be interested in any exploration of a canon that hurt like hell, one that I watched in theatres and realized, “oh my god, they were so scared of even the possibility of Steve and Bucky looking like lovers that they threw the whole friendship out with the bath water. What happened to ‘Til the end of the line’???” Why interact with a story that feels like betrayal whenever I think of it?
Well, this one helps you through it. And you get a new perspective on who these characters are and what they needed, and that maybe they really weren’t ready yet. Maybe those boys couldn’t be what the other needed until one learned how to cool the raging forest fire of his heart (and the other learned how to love himself enough to both protect himself from the flames and to…be the fireweed that grows right after forest fires on the west coast? idk, this metaphor got away from me).
Either way, this is important to save, future me. It made you cry. And that’s ok.Now go eat dinner, ok? You had a good lunch, but you need to eat more than once!
