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
Truth be told, Zagreus hadn’t spared Thanatos a thought when he left, that first time. The idea of never seeing him again simply hadn’t crossed his mind. It was too big, too absolute: impossible. Of course they’d see each other again. They’d grown up together, shared secrets and embarrassments and struggles. Even Hypnos – Than’s own twin! – had laughingly called them two sides of the same obol.
Or, Zagreus' friends wish him well, but really, how can one god be so oblivious?
Must be his mortal blood. -

Summary
She used to blot her notes in this manner, sometimes, as a wordless memo to her future self: look here, this is important. The method might have changed but the message hasn’t strayed one jot. And above it, across the middle of the page in striking, desperate block capitals are the words:
JBB IS ALIVE.Peggy Carter's final mission.

Summary
“It’s 2016.”
Bucky didn’t break his step but he did breathe in rather sharply. “That’s seventy-three years away.”
Seventy years, Steve thought grimly, since you died.

Summary
Contains Rubik's Cube and The Therapeutic Qualities of Tequila. Marked as unfinished since c.2015, but in all honesty I don't know if I'll get back to writing the follow-up to Rubik's Cube that I envisioned. For now, this series is as complete as it's going to get.

Summary
Resigned, he looks up to the statue's face again, locks eyes with its empty gaze.
"His face is all wrong," Rolan says, distant. If he allows himself to feel anything in this moment he threatens to implode.
Lia laughs, sharp. "I wasn't aware you were an expert on the visage of the Wizard of Waterdeep," she teases. "Another particular interest of yours?"
Five years ago, Gale of Waterdeep made a sacrifice to end the Battle of Baldur's Gate and save the world from the Grand Design.
Except, somehow, Rolan remembers five years of being very much in love with the very much alive Gale. And now, he'll do anything to make it a reality—again.

Time travel, memory loss, well-imagined wizard relationships complete with sharp bits amongst the soft.

Summary
He may be doomed, but he doesn’t have to drag her into it. One day, and soon, she will succeed at her task.
And what then?
He is the Fates’ emissary, Doom Incarnate, the sword waiting to fall. What can he offer her once she returns to her true home?
Nothing.
The weight of his role is a chain around his neck dragging him down. He can’t train with Lady Hecate, he can’t change what he is…
And he can’t be what Melinoë deserves once all this is over.
Adrift without his duty, Moros grapples with the weight of Fate and the terrifying illusion of choice. Debating inevitability is a difficult thing, but whether he knows it or not, the denizens of the Crossroads will help him find his place.

Summary
While Zagreus is struggling to come up with an answer for Thanatos, he asks Achilles when he first knew that he was in love with his closest friend.
(This takes place in the setting of Hades with the video game iterations of Achilles and Patroclus, but the background is drawn heavily from what is portrayed in The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.)
