Summary
"A sculpture should have been commissioned, to immortalize in marble how magnificent Patroclus looked, his locs rippling like water over a strong back and shoulders hardened by battle.
There was only one problem.
There’d only ever been one problem.
Achilles had never once helped Patroclus wash and retwist his hair.
It was always Briseis!"

Summary
Hypnos is tired of the scorn and neglect. Zagreus is tired of the abuse and hopelessness. Together, they make a home in the land of dreams, far away from the stress of their lives. The people they left behind are not too keen on this.
----
Alternatively: Hypnos and Zagreus go into a deep, unawakenable sleep so they can chill in Zag's dreams and not go back home, and the House of Hades loses its marblesSeries

Summary
Thanatos' heart lies outside his body.
Styx takes Zagreus’ pieces from Thanatos’ grasp and makes him whole once more. It takes longer than he thinks it ought, for flesh to knit and soul to settle into its place; for the woven multicolored thread of Zagreus’ life to be re-spun, knotted over like scar tissue, and the next first beat of Zagreus’ heart to resound in Thanatos’ breast.

Summary
"Lad. You must remember what you are fighting for. You wish to see your mother, correct? You have never wanted to kill your Father before—"
Zagreus shoves Achilles' hand away. His armbands glint in the light of the Ixion. His smile is crooked, tinged with wickedness that frightens Achilles, who has long lost the ability to feel fear.
"I will spill my Father's blood," Zagreus vowed. "And it will be glorious."
An AU in which Zagreus can feel Achilles’ rage and grief through Varathra, the eternal spear.

Summary
Sleep lacked for nothing. He had a fulfilling job, a kind but strict boss, a soft bed waiting for him on his days off, at least one friend in the form of the realm’s rebellious prince, a friendly relationship with the realm’s most beautiful and commanding fury, and a brother who cared enough to visit once in a while. Realistically, he had everything he could ask for. Yet, as he thickened the lines of a bat he had just sketched into the decorative border he was constructing, his mind drifted to the last dream he had traveled in. The warmth of the fire and the loving gaze of the mother as she looked upon her sons.
He remembered the mortal mother’s eyes and his heart ached. He tried to imagine Thanatos laughing with him, but the image left him empty.
At the end of his shift a strange voice called out to him, beckoning him to the elder sigil in the back of the administrative chamber. Perhaps his extended family could help him find what was missing.

Summary
“Is a love unrequited not the purest form in the world?” Ares asked, pointedly. “To love unbidden, knowing that you will receive nothing in return. To love purely because there is no other option, unsullied by discontent and ulterior forces. Tell me, Thanatos, is that not good?"
Or, Thanatos is in love, and does not know how to say it. Zagreus is too busy trying to undermine his father to stop and listen.

Summary
For the last twenty-five years, no one on the island of Ithaca has died. How Thanatos did not notice was beyond him but after a harsh reprimanding from Lord Hades, the God of Death is tasked to investigate.

Summary
Achilles is almost amused, “You must be truly desperate, to come to me for relationship advice.”
--

Remember: fear is for the weak.

Summary
Achilles cannot imagine what this prince from the surface might be like. Raised by Demeter! A young god with his father’s wrath and his mother’s impetuousness, fuelled by his grandmother’s calculated spite. He thinks of the swathes of dead that disembark Charon’s ferry still shivering and huddled together as though their shades could hold warmth.
Perhaps the Zagreus who has grown up with cold eternal is as icy and cruel as Demeter herself. Perhaps he will bring nothing but strife. Olympian history is full of sons overthrowing their fathers, after all.

Summary
“Awesome,” Tim grins and closes his eyes, humming as Kon’s fingers work their magic on his head, “Just - all of us together again, it’s been ages.”
“I didn’t expect a full reunion honestly but I agree, we haven’t all been together at once without world-destroying threats in years,” Kon says. “It’s gonna be awesome, a whole week just us.”
“Not so young Just Us,” Tim snickers.
Tim didn't exactly plan to pass out on Cassie's couch with the mother of all migraines and crash her's and Cissie's post-date evening but migraines are unpredictable and it definitely wasn't made worse by him overworking himself or anything. One knock out and call for the cavalry later, Young Justice is together once more and this time with no world ending threats except for the evil that are dirty dishes and near nail polish spills. Oh, and not to forget the gender crises.
Wherein Young Justice are forever codependent without realizing it, touch and gentle bullying is established as their love language, and no one realizes that all of them are in one big relationship.
Written for the 2023-Year of the OTP April: Canon Divergence, Peace.

Summary
“I've gotta head back,” he says, pointing a thumb in the general direction of his house. “This was fun. It was really nice meeting you.”
And strangely enough, it was. Dick is funny, smart, and witty, and they hit it off as if they've known each other for years instead of just one day. But Tim doesn't want to make any more friends he's going to miss, so he doesn't offer his number, and Dick doesn't ask. Instead, he waves goodbye with a fond smile and dives back into the water as Tim turns around to walk home.
It's Tim's last summer in California with Kon before his parents arrive to whisk him away to New Jersey, and he's totally handling it fine. Really, he is. Though he would feel better if strange older boys with no shoes would stop trying to befriend him. Not when he's leaving California behind in two months.
(Life has a way of giving you what you need.)
