    Summary

    The House of Hades is quick to wake from its long slumber, but slow to shake the sleep from its eyes as the nightmare overstays its welcome.
    Thanatos hovers at the balustrade watching the waters of the Styx ebb slowly past, still sullied with gold.
    It is all wrong.
    Wrong, the gold of the river; wrong, the air that still tastes of change.
    Time cannot be stopped, but he could be almost convinced otherwise, what with the way the House hangs in its state of disarray, the underworld frozen. And, though Time cannot be stopped, it would seem that Death can.

    or: in the aftermath of the hades 2 ending, thanatos finds himself temporarily out of work. unsurprisingly, as the incarnation of his job, he doesn't take well to unemployment.

    Summary

    Rather than setting her to work, Hades turns Eurydice’s soul into a songbird, as a gift for his wife. Persephone isn’t too happy about keeping her canary trapped in a gilded cage.

    Actually in tears. I knew it would end with her going back down but to have Orpheus join her is so insanely bittersweet. Imagine the two of them sing the song and both Persephone and Hades hear it. This concept is everything to me.

    Summary

    “What if we all go?”

    “Zagreus,” Thanatos murmured.

    “I know it’s impossible, I just… we could all leave, find something new. Mortals do that all the time, right? They leave where they are, move someplace new, someplace better—“

    “Zagreus,” Megaera broke in, sharp. “No. It’s impossible. For all of us. Than can hardly keep his eyes open. I have a duty. And the Fates—“

    “I’ve heard enough about the Fates,” Zagreus snapped, and none of them spoke for a while after that.

    Thanatos cupped Zagreus’ jaw, eyelashes fluttering like whispers as his golden eyes opened. “Well, they were never my favorite siblings.”

    Ooouuuggggghhhh this fic instilled the need of them (Zagreus) thinking of living in Persephone’s cottage and I desperately need it. Please let them be happy and live secluded and in peace and not have to worry about anything for at least a few moments l

    Summary

    That night he dreamt of a field of flowers. Endless, endless rows of flowers as tall as his knees and sprawling far beyond the horizon. He fixates on the pale pink sky above him as he begins to wander. Blind navigation brings him to a red flowing river, and not far from its edge stood his father.

    Zagreus deals with his grief

    Relatable in the sense I both pray for the death of my father but also know I will be absolutely devastated once he’s gone

    Summary

    Zagreus should have expected this to happen. He and Thanatos have been hurtling towards this point for a long time. Thanatos approaches Zagreus, wanting to turn their relationship into something more, but Zagreus refuses to let his impulses cost him the dear friend he just got back. Even if he loves him.

    *****
    An alternate, angsty take on the 'Ease Off' ending with Thanatos, where both of them still have feelings that need to be addressed.
