Summary
“Lord Hypnos,” she fiercely declares, “I would really like to meet you, but you won’t wake up. Hecate said that Mother grew a lot of flowers, so I’m giving some to you! To go with your poppies. I hope they’re comfortable.”
She places it on the other’s chest, and it looks more like a bouquet for the departed than anything good. The hammock lightly sways, the Shades exchanging unreadable glances. Melinoë continues to wait, just in case. She’s mastered the act. She’s waited all her life.
“If you do like it, I hope you’ll be nice to me.”
-
Troubled by nightmares of her past that she just can't shake, a young Melinoë looks to Sleep Incarnate for help. In spite of his current state, and much to her surprise, Hypnos manages to lend a hand.

Melinoe's Balatro Gamble by CloverTheGrand

Summary
Prometheus stood, surrounded by satyrs, shamblers, and harpies. It underwhelmed Melinoe to see that this was what the Vow of Vengeance did for Prometheus– summon backup. To her surprise, there was a table with cards and chips in the middle of the arena.
“So it was you, Agent of Change, who tared this very night to have a dark frenzy,” Prometheus started. “You want a difficult fight, do you now?”
Melinoe brandished Descura. “All the better to humble you and your battalion, if you’re passing the time with card games.”
“Then by all means…” Melinoe tensed her muscles, ready to dash away from Aetos’ attack. Prometheus walked towards the table and pulled out a chair. “Here. Have a seat.”
“I… what?”
“Have. A. Seat.”
Melinoe blinked and looked around. The satyrs organised the chips into neat towers. The shamblers stood next to obelisks and an abacus with chalk in hand. The harpies stood next to briefcases filled to the brim with cards.
Melinoe tilted her head in utter confusion. “Your utmost strength is at a simple card game?”
[Or: Extreme Measures Prometheus is just a round of Balatro]

Summary
“It’s nothing to worry about, just a small cough,” Melinoë assured with a somewhat breathless and unsteady wheeze. “It’s been grating at me recently, I’ll admit. But it is no reason to delay my task.”
Apollo narrowed his eyes and hummed in suspicion. “You know I’m also considered the God of Plague and Disease, right Cousin? You can’t hide a poor condition like that from me, you know. If you’re truly as unwell as it looks, then for all our sakes you should rest.”

Summary
“Raise your foul weapons and fight me!”
“Why do I even bother?” he hears him say. A sigh, and then the daemon lowers his weapon fully to his side. “Theseus, I know where Asterius is.”
At that, Theseus—in the middle of prepping another toss of his spear—freezes.
“Speak those words again.”
“Well, I don’t know exactly where he is, but I’ve been everywhere throughout my father’s realm, so I have an idea where he might be held.”
“So you lie!” Theseus cries, aghast.
Or: Asterius is taken by Hades as punishment for Theseus' inability to defeat Zagreus. Zagreus feels guilty that he's caused the shades around him so much pain, but he's unwilling to give up on his quest. Instead, he suggests they find Asterius together. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“My ultimate point is this, daemon: that in an epic act of sacrifice, I shall permit you to pleasure me with your terrible body. A besmirchment though it may be!”
In the silence that follows, a muffled roar rises within the arena. The Lethe whispers by. Faint, sweet Elysian music tinkles in the distance.
“...What,” says the daemon.Series

Summary
Hermes darted down on impulse.
“Wait! I think I can help you out,” he offered, stopping just before the apparition.
This wasn't any different than helping a stranded shepherd or traveler, right? He answered their prayers all the time. This was just another lost soul, literally. He wasn’t infringing any boundaries by doing this. Probably.

Summary
There’s a ritual to earth-eating. First, they take a sip of tart spring wine or cold river water to wet their mouths. Then the clay, lightly lifted and swiftly popped onto their tongues to dissolve into powdery mud. When most of the soil has slid down their throats, they follow it up with a sprig of bitter greens. Each elf might consume ten or more little coils of clay at the flood feast and there are always leftovers, idly chewed on over the following weeks.
Every year Bëor observes in silent horror.

Summary
"Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”
“No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing.
Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”

Summary
Upon her arrival to Menegroth, Artanis finds herself suddenly struck by strange new desires as well as an urge to cast off the yoke of purity that she feels was forced upon her in Aman. She thus embarks upon a desperate attempt to be rid of her cumbersome virginity, enlisting the help of the Sindarin prince who sparked those forbidden desires in the first place. He agrees enthusiastically, only to later realize that he may be on the losing end of what had originally seemed a deal that would work in his favor.
It's basically just pure smut.
