    Summary

    Did God feel like this, Henry thinks, and tries not to dwell on it, and thinks anyway, did God feel this when He made the world?

     

    In an upstairs room in the Devil’s Den, Henry grabs what he can as though claiming spoils on some forgotten battlefield. A handful of his blonde hair. A mouthful of his hot tongue. A palm over the curve of his back. A collection of sighs that slowly grows louder. The bed creaks. He collects that too. He takes and he takes. And he gives everything back.

    Summary

    “The Greatest of the Greeks could perhaps do better,” Patroclus says.

    Zagreus sinks to the ground. The waters of the Styx rise around his body, red as the blood he inexplicably bleeds. “I’ll tell him you said that,” are his final words, almost drowned out by the shades and their bloodthirsty cheering.

     

    An AU with Patroclus as the Champion of Elysium. In Zagreus’s blood splattered on the eternally green fields of Elysium, Achilles finds an opportunity to catch Patroclus’s attention.

    Summary

    “Zagreus,” Thanatos sighed, a low and lonesome sound. “What is it that you need from me?”

    “Sleep,” came the choked reply. “Please. Whatever you must do. Anything to get me to sleep.”

    Or: Zagreus traverses the Underworld in endless cycles, unable to find any rest; though he grows stronger each time that he perishes, his body refuses to let him sleep. For this, he seeks a begrudging Thanatos, who becomes his only respite.

    | Inspired by the response given when interacting with Zagreus' bed in his chambers - "can't sleep". A slow-burn, Thanatos-centric character exploration/ZagThan coming-together story. |

    Summary

    “Did I not praise you for your mastery over your Urges? Don’t make a fool of me, old friend,” he mocked.

    Lord Gortash was strong, but The Dark Urge was stronger. His practiced killer’s hands twisted Gortash’s wrist, loosening his grasp enough to break free. He grappled the Archduke to the ground, straddling him and pinning his wrists above his head. Looking Gortash in the eye, he growled breathlessly, “What do I have to prove to you? Trusting you was my undoing.”

    The Dark Urge returns to Baldur's Gate and demands an audience with Lord Enver Gortash, but is met with dismissal and doubts. He doesn't take it well.
