Summary
“To love life you have to be alright with a little chance, but you can’t let it own you.”
Otacon flicks the coin. Snake’s hand catches it easily. “Do you love life, Otacon?”
He opens his mouth to speak. To ask him what kind of question is that or say that yes, he does. He cannot meet Snake’s eyes.
Something warm is pressed into his hands. Heads.
“We’ll just have to work on that aspect, huh?”
***
To be loved is to be changed. Otacon’s been doing a lot of changing ever since he met Snake.

Summary
When Hal asks which name he’d rather be called, Snake only grunts. No preference. Hal sticks to the code name that he’s used to. Dave sounds too personal, too familiar. Like they’re friends. They’re not.

Summary
“Do you remember when you kissed me on the battlements, Damen? I’m sure you could hear the beating of my heart then. I didn’t know what to do, I was so scared. Not of you. I knew you wouldn’t hurt me. I was scared of my reaction to it. I wanted to pull you closer, I wanted to wrap my arms around you and never let you leave.”
What if Kastor's knife cut a little deeper? What if Damen was lying in his bed, pale and weak from the blood loss?
Laurent watches over Damen's sleep and tells him all the things he didn't have the time to say earlier.Bookmarked by mattemate

Summary
Ares has seen many, many wars, and even more fights, and he has never once witnessed a single soul able to compare to Death’s intensity when forced to take up his sword. Ares has considered wars only for the joy of seeing Thanatos defend souls from the Keres many, many times.
He does not, because he understands fighting is what Thanatos does last, and he quite likes Nyx’s son.

Summary
For the prompt:
Thanatos has scars from his time with Sisyphus. Ares has scars from his many wars. It's not the same, they both know this, and yet... in many ways, a scar is a scar is a scar.
Ares helps Thanatos to be more comfortable with his scars.
