Summary
There were things to do. Sirens wailed in the distance, and the world was always burning ever on. But they stood and they watched the bricks crumble and they watched the rain fall and the smoke curl into nothing. They weren’t really injured, either of them. It was a rare opponent who could catch Cassandra, especially when they did not see her coming. And Tim…
Well. They had wanted Tim for something different.
(Tim and Cassandra and the aftermath of the encounter with Promise and her Sister.)

Fields That Spring in Great Tree Moon by malrie

Summary
The aftermath of the battle came unbidden. Belyal and his father were a yard too far to do anything but witness Byleth save the girl from an axing. Once the dust settled, three neat-looking admirers stood at his older sister’s elbows.
Belyal shook away the image of the weapon striking its target, too vivid for something that never got the chance to happen. His father placed a warm hand over his shoulder, deep-set eyes pointed towards the distance. Belyal followed his gaze to an imperturbable Byleth and a halo of dust still floating behind her. They were safe. They were together.
It took Garreg Mach a heartbeat to change that.
*
Adoring little brother Belyal feels his purpose slip as his father and sister slot into a vast, incomprehensible narrative—one without a place for him.

Summary
The problem is, he can't think of a way to solve this. He is good at avoiding his problems, but he's just as good at finding creative solutions. Traveling in disguise, lying, getting alarmingly naked as a distraction, more lying—he's gotten quite good at this over the years.
But it's Achilles and Patroclus.
---
Achilles and Patroclus arrive at the Crossroads. Odysseus makes an incredibly stupid decision.

Summary
Zagreus takes one vacation (which ends up accidentally being about four mortal years long because of time dilation in Chaos, but that's not his fault), and when he comes back, Thanatos is missing, the Doors of Death are open, and his previously-unknown demigod half-brother is trapped in Tartarus.
Clearly, no one in the Underworld but him can get anything done.

Summary
“Oh my gods, you’re Nyx’s son, Zagreus,” Percy realizes, still telepathically linked to the guy.
“That’s… yes. Yeah. It’s funny, usually I’m recognized as my father’s son first.”
“Is he famous or something?” Percy asks.
There’s a long, drawn out silence before Zagreus answers.
“No, he’s a bit of a nobody, really. We just look similar.”
~ ~ ~
Zagreus summons aid from an odd patron. Percy receives a confusing call for help from a “demigod.”
