Summary
"Please consider what I’m about to say. Think of it as you return to your mother. You must put as much thought into it as you can. Will you? Please, promise me you will.”
“Yes! Whatever it is, I’ll consider it.”
“Eventually Lord Hades will have mercy upon you. He will. I know that must sound strange—the most severe of the gods showing mercy where his kindred won’t—but it’s the truth. The Olympians are more… unreliable. The only way I can see to protect the Underworld and in turn you and your mother is this: Bind yourself to me.” His hands tremble. He brushes his thumb along the crook of Zag’s throat, so very sweet, even when he’s rigid with tension. “Wed me.”
Raised by his mother far away from both Olympus and the Underworld, a strange series of events leads Zagreus to meeting a faceless, nameless Chthonic god.

Summary
Zagreus is by no mean an ordinary man.
People can sense it ; yet cannot point out what is bugging them about the joyful and handsome son of the local florist and vegetables merchant.
That's curious, they think. His mother is as beautiful as he is, sharing bright spring green eye, but looks more natural, she isn't giving off this strange aura around her.
He, however, got a strange charisma ; just a smile and everyone is charmed, he mesmerized girls and boys with his stories about his adventures in deep forests.
Everyone at the surrounding villages know them. And yet, they don't. Time flows, and people forget them, and they come back, and the cycle go on endlessly.Such is the nature of the gods.

AU where Zagreus is raised by Persephone, unbestknown to everyone ; may it be Olympus or Underworld. He's also a lovely and hardworking son!

Summary
“You sound like a mortal.” She said, with the faint glimmer of amusement in her eyes. Zagreus chortled too, but then fell silent. Nyx gave him a knowing look. “What is it, my child?”
“You said the curse is tied into my godhood, right? What if…” The words tasted unnatural in his mouth, a blasphemy before they could even take shape in the air. Zagreus coughed them out regardless. “What if I could shed my divinity? What if I became a mortal?”

Summary
Yuuri Katsuki has never been very good at magic. A humble man from a small village, his real talent has always been in dancing--a passion so strong that he joined the nearest dance troupe as soon as he came of age. With his career on the rise and his reputation strengthening, it seems as though Yuuri's future is shaping itself.
But one fateful spring day, everything changes.
When Victor the mighty god of the forest saves his life, tethers Yuuri's soul to his own, and offers to teach him magic all in the same day, how can Yuuri refuse?
