Summary
Zagreus had the luxury of understanding Than better than most. He knew what desire looked like on him, the way it brewed and bloomed deep underneath his calm exterior, longing to be drawn out at Zag's behest.
In moments like this, it felt like Zagreus was unveiling a salacious secret, as though this side of Thanatos existed only for him to behold. It was his to savor, his to claim. And claim it, he would.

Summary
When Thanatos falls in love with the kingdom's trouble-making crown prince, he is not expecting it will amount to anything more than a passing infatuation. He is also not expecting to be made the prince's bodyguard, and he is certainly not expecting the prince will ever love him back.
Thanatos, it transpires, is wrong about many things.

Summary
Once or twice was an aberration, but three times meant something was very, very wrong. This was the third time he’d heard this conversation, and the meaning was starting to sink in.
Somehow, he wasn’t moving on in time. He wasn’t being thrown into the Styx; he was being reset, deposited back to the safety of the House so that whatever had happened…
Thanatos returns to the House to discover Zagreus is gone. He goes to seek answers, and instead ends up with more questions.
Such as: Why does the Styx keep trying to drown him? Why is he the only one who remembers what happened? And why does Zagreus keep smiling at him?
An AU where everything is the same but Thanatos is stuck in a time loop. Much to his annoyance.

Summary
You'd think raising superhuman children would be easy with your crush. Thanatos is the best assassin around and Zagreus is the rich, pampered son of the Underworld boss. Well, you'd be surprised just how hard it is to raise rambunctious kids when you don't quite know what you're doing. But Zag and Than are willing to give it all they got with a family they found and made with each other.

Summary
Dancing is a lot like making love. A dance is about two bodies moving as one to the same rhythm. It requires chemistry, understanding, and the perfect fit to each other's bodies for the dance to be mesmerizing. It lets people know whether their bodies are compatible."
Zagreus smiled at Thanatos' back, knowing that he could hear the amusement in his voice. "Don't you find that interesting, Than? I wonder what our dance says about us."
What if Thanatos was a lot more reluctant to be with Zagreus? It takes Meg to convince Than to finally go for it and get with Zag. It just involves a bit of alcohol, getting black out drunk, and kidnapping the Prince of the Underworld in front of his Olympian relatives. Then when he finally does get Zagreus into bed, it doesn't go quite as planned.
Lots of awkward moments and firsts, but Than and Zag eventually finds a rhythm that works for them, laughing and discovering each of their likes and dislikes in the process.

Summary
“You sound like a mortal.” She said, with the faint glimmer of amusement in her eyes. Zagreus chortled too, but then fell silent. Nyx gave him a knowing look. “What is it, my child?”
“You said the curse is tied into my godhood, right? What if…” The words tasted unnatural in his mouth, a blasphemy before they could even take shape in the air. Zagreus coughed them out regardless. “What if I could shed my divinity? What if I became a mortal?”

Summary
“I sympathize with being put in such a situation, Meg, but forgive me...I don’t understand how this is relevant to the topic at hand.”
“The way you were summoned,” Meg said simply. “I felt that as well, just as you say. Every time Zag chooses to initiate that clause of the pact, I can sense it.”
The soft hint of sympathy in her tone only made the dread within Than spread.
'Oh, gods,' he thought. 'What have I done?'
'Major Character Death' both in the sense that Death is the major character, and also, y'know, Zag. (a.k.a. this is what happens when hearing that gong when I didn’t expect to during a Pact of Punishment run gave me feelings, apparently).
I added the graphic violence tag warning just to be safe; it can be skipped without missing much context if you just want the ThanZag fluff!

Summary
The very air around Than seemed to thrum as Zag approached. Than’s whole being quivered. Anticipatory. Tentative. Mere inches from him, Zagreus drew to a careful halt, a tantalizingly vivacious warmth.
There, on the precipice, they regarded each other, hovering close with shallow breaths. Zag searched his face with eager hesitancy, so close his shaky exhales skated across Than’s skin. Than tried to return that honesty, fighting not to shy away from allowing himself that openness. To reassure Zag with his eyes. Bolstered, Zagreus lifted gentle palms to cup Than’s face and rose onto his tiptoes.
(Not me adding to the pile of fics filling in the fade to black scene between Than and Zag, oops.)
