Summary
Behind the crisp, terrifying punctuality of the royal decrees received by Nico and Hazel lies a grueling, five-draft linguistic nightmare. For weeks, the memory of his son’s sleepy plea for a family dinner has echoed through Hades’ head like a debt he cannot settle. Waiting until Persephone’s vibrant presence returns to the obsidian halls to lend him courage, the King of the Dead sits hunched over his desk, aggressively snapping quills against high-grade charcoal parchment. Desperate to find the exact balance between "affectionate father" and "inescapable lord of the abyss," his hand refuses to write the words I missed you.
With exactly twenty-four hours until the gates open, the Lord of the Dead vanishes into the shadows to deliver the mail, facing his most terrifying tactical challenge yet:
...Making a family dinner.
OR
Hades invites his kids over for a family dinner!!
(Part of a series, the one that comes before this is "At Least The Flowers Will Wither Together." BUT you can read it as a stand alone!)
