    Summary

    “Mumbo,” Grian says, harried, dragging his hands down his face, for the sixth time. “Have you wondered what this place is?”

    Mumbo no longer looks vampiric. His skin now is rough and bumpy and not really skin-like at all, though his mustache and dark eyes remain the same. “I thought it was a dream.”

    “Yes. To you it might be.” Grian waves a hand. “What else?”

    “A cafe?”

    “Sure. That too.” He exhales through his nose. “What this place really is, though, is what people need it to be. Scar told you that the first time you came here. Everyone who comes here needs something. Everyone. Even you.”

     

    (The Café Boatem is a needful place, insofar as it fulfills the needs of its customers. Enter Mumbo Jumbo, the most needless person in existence. Grian refuses to accept this.)

    Summary

    Melinoë looks back at the corpse prince. As she watches, parts of him begin rotting, melting into blood; his gray skin bubbles and peels and falls into the ground, his muscles going to liquid, and she sees his bones and his innards and then straight through him for a terrible few seconds before she wrenches her eyes back up to his face. His eyes are vacant, glassy. They hold all the certainty of a mirror. She says his name, unable to help herself. And then his eyes, too, are gone, melting into the ground with the rest.

    Melinoë picks up the bloodied scrap with a shaking hand, tucks it among the rest of her things, and continues towards Olympus.

    -

    melinoë reaches the threshold of olympus. a threat she cannot hope to match is waiting for her there.

    Summary

    Captured in eternity and nothingness, a Prince awoke from his timeless slumber to the pulsing call of blood.

    Blood, like a scream. Blood, the oath of family. Blood, rushing like a river.

     

    “Red? The spell didn’t say—what in the..! Selene’s grace…”

     

    Breathless.

    Zagreus gasped, submerged. He was floating in a cauldron of blood.

     

    Or: Zagreus resurfaces at the crossroads. This goes not without consequences.

    Summary

    Finally — finally — Melinoë was thinking of herself, and no one else, chasing her own wants, her own desires. Finally. What Nemesis had wanted all along to see, to see Melinoë do…
    ---
    [Melinoë/Nemesis] Nemesis thinks Melinoë deserves better. She'd just rather die than say it.

    Summary

    “Do you think—” she started before abruptly cutting herself off. She hadn’t meant to voice the doubt.

    “Speak, sister,” Artemis said gently.

    “Do you think he would forgive me if I fail?” she whispered, and swallowed hard.
