Summary
“Prince Achilles,” rumbles a deep, purring voice.
Achilles turns, head spinning. “Whozit.”
A figure melts out of the shadows. Tall, broad-shouldered, and heavily muscled, the man is clad in fine, pale armour and bears a set of bright swords. The moonlight slips over his dark skin, gleaming off the band of white over his eyes and cheekbones. And – yes – his hair is white as Nestor’s.
“How, now, Grandfather,” Achilles says, not bothering to bow.
“Grandfather,” the man chuckles. “Really, now.”
Their first night in Troy, Achilles celebrates. So does War.

Summary
Ares loves both Dionysus and Aphrodite deeply, but he is never fully satisfied with the sex they have. He is War, and his nature cries out for dark things, for pain and struggle, even in bed. Surely, though, surely his lovers want nothing of the kind? Or perhaps they do, if Ares is willing to be the one who suffers, rather than inflicts suffering...

Summary
Sometimes Ares feels as though he wants to claw his own skin off. Throwing himself into battle can blunt the violent madness within, but sometimes it's nowhere near enough, and when his madness leads to his death, his revival in the Celestial pool of Olympus brings him far, far close to his father, and to old, terrible habits. Thankfully Olympus is also home to Aphrodite, and to Dionysus, who know how to give Ares exactly what he needs.

Summary
“Pops pulled a bit of a heist, last night. Went downstairs for a tick. Brought home a new cupbearer." Dionysus takes a deep draught of wine, then laughs, raspy and intent. “He’s carried off our sweet little cousin.”
Ares huffs. “Which of Poseidon’s thousand bloody offspring must we bear the company of this time, then?”
“Oh, no, man, not Poseidon’s — think lower. Much lower.”
Zeus has taken Zagreus for his new cupbearer. Ares, subject to Zeus' attentions for centuries, is left out in the cold. But Zagreus isn't the only one at risk — and his loss may put Olympus on the brink of war.

Summary
“Come now, ask me who I saw,” she says, stroking his hair.
He grins. “Who did you see?”
“I saw,” she says, pausing for effect, “your wayward guard! Achilles, with the golden hair.” She kisses Hades on the corner of the mouth, then on the tip of his nose, combing her fingers through his sideburns. “And his handsome lover.”
Persephone slips into Hades' bed bearing a few surprises. He can't wait to have a taste.
