    In the dimness, she steps lightly—stealing up staircases and down corridors, nightgown fluttering behind her, until she reaches Nyx’s bedchamber.

    Summary

    “We are to be married.” Thanatos looks up at Zagreus, throat bobbing. “I am one of those Lord Hades considers most trustworthy and reliable. He believes a marriage between us would help…”

    “It would help you straighten yourself out.” Hades’ gaze goes from Thanatos to Zagreus. “I’ve given you plenty of time to do it yourself and you cannot even succeed at rebelling against me.”

    “I can’t marry Thanatos.” Zagreus speaks as the thought comes to his mind. “I can’t.”

    “You will do as I say--”

    “No, no, this- this isn’t me just being an asshole, Father.” Zagreus raises a hand, letting out a quiet laugh at his own words. “Hypnos and I are together, and it would be a bit odd for me to get with his brother, y’know? His twin, even! Than’s basically my brother-in-law to-be, if you think about it.”

    It's a lie, but Father doesn't need to know that, does he?

    Summary

    “But don’t you want to marry me?” he asked, enough of a lilt in his voice that he could beg off as teasing need be.

    Penelope was too sharp to be fooled by his tone. “I believe it’s my father you’ll be needing to speak with about that.”

    Or: Penelope is used to being outshone by her cousin Helen, and even Clytemnestra. Odysseus is used to having things go his way, through luck or cunning. They never realized that meeting each other would undo all of that, and themselves.
