Summary
"Gen removed his favorite earrings and stretched up to hold them in his fist above the gleaming altar. For you, he thought. And he opened his hand and let the earrings slowly peel away from his sweaty palm. They landed musically on the tangle of other offerings." That line, from "Irrevocable" by dolphin_ring, got me in the feels - have a fanart of small Eugenides mourning his mother.

Summary
Relius waits in uncertainty of what has become of his world. Irene and Gen reluctantly plan a funeral.
--
Irene knew him well enough to hear what he wasn’t saying. He thought she needed to accept it, acknowledge that Relius was gone. They’d already had more than their fair share of miracles, and this would be one too many. The last blessing had been spent somewhere along the way, on a lightning strike, on her husband waking up on the battlefield, on a decent Erondites, on two healthy children for them and another for Helen and Sophos, on a rooftop dance.
