    Summary

    “They took this from me.”

    He had whispered it, the words forcing themselves out from behind gritted teeth, carving a place for themselves in the oppressive silence of the bedroom

    “They fucking stole– All of this. My– my fucking life. "

    “I never cared before, before this” He waved the notebook around manically. “I mean fuck, I was a weapon, weapons didn’t have words but when there’s no language given to you, to– to describe what happens to your body there's just this gaping fucking silence. And it wasn’t the torture or the chair or any of that other bullshit that broke me, it was the silence. That was the real terror of it, that my words weren’t mine anymore.”

    “I want them back now. My words, my fucking memories, I want them back.”

    or; the one where bucky and steve travel the world to get bucky's words back

    Summary

    She doesn’t mind Asphodel, she doesn’t hate the idea of eternity here. But what she wouldn’t do for a chilled mousse and a friend to share it with some days.

    Most of the adjusting here had to be baking-related. Sure, it was strange not to see the sun or sky, but somehow stranger was how she had to mentally adjust the rise times for her favorite loaves of bread, which had served her so faithfully on the surface. Any icing attempts had to be soft and runny because it was too warm for it to ever set properly—not that there was anyone to impress with beautiful plating. And ice cream—

    Ice cream is a chilled sweet memory that sits on the tip of her tongue, so faint she can barely taste it anymore.

    Summary

    Achilles hates all gods, and with good reason. So when he's tasked with teaching a careless young godling, he can't help but despise his charge. A mistake during sparring will change all that, though, as Achilles realizes that young Zagreus doesn't deserve his anger.

    This lays the foundation for a friendship that will be transmuted once again when Achilles, half-nereid that he is, discovers that shades still feel certain urges. Yet as he and Zagreus inevitably end up together, and Achilles' feelings change even more, guilt and shame wrack him. It will take a miracle--something as impossible as breaking his contract with Hades himself, perhaps--for Achilles to sort out his feelings.

    Or to spell it all out plainly, Achilles goes into heat, and Zagreus takes care of his needs, but Achilles is just too much of an idiot to confess he's falling in love.

    “Abby- Why didn’t you tell me you were having nightmares?”

    Her answer is so quiet, he has to strain his ears to hear it. “‘Cause I thought you’d give me away.”

    This time, it’s quiet for so long she has no choice but to meet his eye. He looks horrified.

    Summary

    The dress is really pretty, the neckline low and the material soft looking— Kuroo surprises himself when he starts to picture Kenma in it and feels the back of his neck heat up.

    Okay, let’s stop right there.

    “Do you like it?” Kuroo asks, quietly, but Kenma still startles at the sound of his voice.

    They blink, as if only remembering now Kuroo was with them, and then they’re averting their eyes, shaking their head before starting to walk again. “No, I was just thinking.”

    He watches Kenma’s retreating back, eyes the tension in their narrow shoulders, shoulders that would fit perfectly in that little red dress.

    Kuroo decides right here and there that he’s not buying the flimsy excuse, but he’s for sure buying that dress.

     

    or Kenma came out as non-binary a year ago and Kuroo has to unlearn years of habits to make sure he never hurts his best friend with his ignorance and clumsiness ever again, while at the same time fiercely trying not to confess at any given second

    Summary

    Three months after everything, Hunter picks up a carving knife.

    He knows exactly what palisman he's going to carve for himself, a new staff that will allow him to use magic again, beyond a flashstep that doesn't even work anymore. But time keeps turning on, and trees keep growing, and The Collector keeps annoying him, and there the palistrom wood sits, untouched.

    One day, Hunter tells himself, I'm going to have to move on.

    But for some reason, he just can't seem to.

    (On losing your best friend: how Hunter and Waffles met.)

    Summary

    Pearl looked down at marina. Clutched in her hands was an egg. A foggy green color. Roughly the size of a baseball. Slippery like ink but warm to the touch. Pearls mind initially thought it was some sort of dud or dead egg, but the small dark creature wiggling within proved otherwise

     

    Marina and Pearl end up with an accidental egg, how do they navigate life with this new addition?

    Summary

    "Why am I bleeding?" Zagreus asks at last, quietly. "Why am I the only god who bleeds?"

    Achilles hums a soft reassurance in return, though his every fiber is thrumming with desire, a terrible, carnal desire he seeks to suppress as best he can.

    "I've told you I suspect your godliness stems from life itself, have I not? It seems, my love, you've yet to suffer the repercussion of your heritage."

    Achilles has watched the god of blood and life grow close to him over all those years, oblivious to what their connection might entail as Zagreus slowly comes of age.

    Summary

    The past few years have been intense for Zagreus - he's escaped his father, moved into a place of his own, found a job he enjoys that pays the rent and finally started therapy. He's looking for an artist who can give him a tattoo that represents how far he's come. Thanatos is talented and kind hearted - can he give Zagreus what he's looking for?

    Summary

    "You need comfort, lad, and we're happy to provide." Achilles meets Zagreus' eyes intently until the young prince lowers his, nods, and sticks out his hands.

     

     

    Holding one hand while Achilles holds the other, listening as he sends their prince off with a story, Patroclus thinks the feeling of staying with him is so much more than happiness.

     

    After letting himself feel small for the first time, Zagreus wants that lightness again; after caring for him, Patroclus and Achilles want that too.

    Summary

    "Pat, this boy is just as broken as we were. But we had each other, and I don't think he has anyone. I want to give him at least one person in his life he can trust with all his heart," Achilles said.

    Patroclus' dark eyes rested thoughtfully on his face. Then, he reached up to cup his husband's cheek and hold him in place while he leaned over and fitted their lips together in a warm kiss.

    "Hell, why not. I always wanted kids."

    Zagreus, just having escaped from an abusive household, has never known a father's unconditional love. Patroclus and Achilles find they have more than enough of it to spare. Although slowly, Zagreus begins to learn at last that there are people who genuinely care for him. And maybe, just maybe, it's not so wrong after all that one of those people is his childhood friend.
