    Summary

    You can only go to the Underworld once. Orpheus and Eurydice have already used up their chance.
    -
    It’s a funny thing, this day: turning the poet into a silent observer, the survivalist into nothing more than an unsteady girl.

    Or: it is the two-thousandth-and-something anniversary of Eurydice's death. They each have their ways of coping, but whatever they are, they'll do them together.

    Summary

    “Maybe they’re lovers,” suggested George casually.

    Alanna narrowed her eyes at him. “Why would them being lovers make a difference?”

    George shrugged. “We all know mind-reading isn’t a thing, unless you’re a cursed powerful mage with the kind of Sight I’d never want. But lovers have their own code.”

    She snorted and retreated back into the library to continue her search. “Lovers have their own code,” she muttered under her breath, clambering back up the stepstool. “What horse shit is that?”

    ________

    George knows where Raoul and Buri are going before they do. He also knows his wife.

    Summary

    The snow is thick on the ground when the Goddess appears in his kitchen, taller than usual and holding an axe.

    George eyes the axe warily. “What’s all this about?” 

    “She has deviated from the plan,” the Goddess tells George, voice tight. 

    “Your plan had some holes to begin with,” remarks George.

    The best-laid plans of gods and men often go sideways. George/Alanna feat. interfering deities.
