Summary
Few welcome the presence of Death in their lives, and even less appreciate the gifts he has to offer. It catches Thanatos by surprise then, on the rare occasions he is asked of a means by which he can be summoned. Even more so when his presence is requested for purposes outside of his work - such as the convoluted affairs of friendship.
A story about people giving Thanatos gifts, and how it shapes his relationships with others and with himself.Series

Borderline Effortless (Preening) by apocahipster

Summary
When Thanatos admitted to Zagreus it had been over ten years since he had used his wings to physically fly, truth spoken out loud ignited a desire to remedy this.
While preening them would no doubt unearth trauma related to the incident which had lead to their neglect, Thanatos was determined to see it through, if nothing else to finally vanquish the last of the physical evidence he still carried bodily. Then, it could all be laid to rest, once and for all.
And besides, Zagreus would be right there to help him with the task.
“Fine. I will show you how to preen my wings. And after several weeks of tedious and meticulous brushing and oiling and plucking and dusting... then I will take you into my arms and we can take flight together.”---
As Than shows Zag how to preen his wings, he struggles with PTSD related to the Sisyphus incident. Or, as my friend Sarah N put it, “This is going to be a case of ‘himbos make everything better’, isn’t it?”

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.

Tumblr shadow bans so much explicit art on it, so I'm uploading them here. It is a pin up series of the characters posing with their respective grand relics. Contains nudity and suggestive material but it's not pornographic.

Summary
“You were right, Than. The Olympians aren’t to be trusted.”
OR
Zagreus is...different since his last return. But he can’t tell anyone, can’t deal with the shame of having been violated by multiple gods at once. But Thanatos finds out, which doesn’t magically make everything better. But at least it opens up the door towards getting there.

Summary
Thanatos will learn about this curious mortal, Zagreus, whose entire life is supposed to be led in devotion to him, to culminate in his death. Maybe then he will understand why he feels so odd about the whole situation.
At the very least, he has never spent much time in contact with mortals who still live. It may be interesting to see what one is like while alive. An amusement until the day of the sacrifice would not go amiss.

The day of Zagreus's sacrifice to the god of Death is drawing near when he meets a mysterious stranger that appears directly in his rooms.

Summary
“It’s just, the way you looked standing in the sunlight, you were like one of the Nikés Father told me about, who live up on Olympus.” Zagreus’ lips absently found Thanatos’ shoulder, the bare cool skin where the fabric ended. “You looked like you should have wings, Than, like you could make me blind to everything.”
He felt Thanatos’s arm stiffen, and shivered as fingers slid into his hair and coaxed him to turn his face upwards.
“You make me blind to everything,” Thanatos murmured, as he sought Zagreus’s mouth, “it’s why you’re so infuriating sometimes, Zagreus.”
***
Zagreus is severely wounded in Elysium and wants to end his latest escape attempt on his own terms, in a way of his choosing. When Thanatos turns up looking for him, Zagreus asks him for help. Thanatos' attempt to make it painless for him has some unintended side affects.
