    Summary

    Zagreus always made stepping from the Styx look painless and elegant, what with the way he shook its blood-red waters from his hair as he strolled through an unending rain of snow-white flower petals.
    Hypnos figured that practice must have made perfect as he clumsily clawed his way from its depths, weighed down by both his own Styx soaked cloak and a general inability to get his trembling legs to hold his weight.

    OR

    In the Iilad, Hera has Hypnos put Zeus to sleep so she can go cause havoc. In the original myth, Hypnos escaped Zeus's wrath by fleeing to his mother, Nyx, for saftey. Zeus immediately backed down, unwilling to fight against the night.

    In Hades, Hypnos wouldn't have that option.

    Summary

    Scanlan’s eyes flit their way, coy. He rocks over, all gentleness Vex has never known to him, and makes to return the baby to her parents. Pike is stirring, so who knows how long they have. “Just one middle name?”
    “Start simple,” says Percy.

    --

    Vesper Elaina de Rolo is a bit understated a name, compared to those of de Rolos past. And perhaps it starts simple, but it does not remain so.

    Summary

    When Van met a woman who promised her she could sail through the sky, she knew she'd follow her to the ends of the earth. But Comfrey has never been a person who was easy to unravel nor to understand, and their relationship tests just how far Van would go out of loyalty, especially once those loyalties expand to the rest of the crew.

    Summary

    He had tried not to be offended when she asked him to look after the kid, not because it was any kind of imposition—he'd killed better people for way less—but because she felt the damn need to ask in the first place. Daisuke looked after his own, and the MacLeods were his, or more accurately he was theirs, hers, had been since she descended like an angel from the heavens, shining silver curls and a knife-sharp grin and warm wrinkles around her eyes, and whisked him away to the skies. She may not have been his wife anymore, but that didn’t really change much; he would love her until the day somebody put a bullet between his eyes.
