    Summary

    Garroth somehow gets access to a new phone. His first and most important objective: let his friends who escaped the madness of Starlight know he's alive.

    "Garroth stared at the bright glowing screen of his phone. It’s new and unused and impersonal. Garroth had spent the past 15 minutes just redownloading apps and old photos from the cloud. He set one of himself and Laurance as the lockscreen.

    "Curled up on a shitty bed in an equally shitty apartment, his newly-fledged werewolf ears were pinned against his head. Should he even dare?

    "But he couldn’t leave them in the dark. Not after so long. They were probably worried sick."

    Summary

    "Garroth, startlingly, felt nothing at all.

    He had given her a ring. She hadn’t taken it.

    Garroth felt nothing.

    A normal man, a sensible man, would feel regret. Would grieve. Garroth had never been normal, had he?"

    [OR]

    Garroth isn’t as upset as he should be when his lord left the ring inside the chest.

    Summary

    "Grace’s first observation was that Rocky was warm. It was probably the sole thing his stupid hindbrain had latched onto. Warm meant fire. Fire meant food. So really, why wouldn’t it? There were other things— infinitely more important things— to notice. Like how, for instance, Rocky wasn’t putting his entire weight onto Grace. Any force he applied was carefully measured and calculated to make sure that Grace didn’t get crushed by the weight.

    But, most importantly, Rocky was warm, especially under a fully luminous sun."

    [OR]

    Grace's touch-starved subconscious conjures up a dream about hugging Rocky. Rocky sees what unfiltered sobbing looks like for the first time. He panics accordingly.

    Summary

    Samael was not the one who was there in Egypt when the Nile ran red, when the livestock died, when darkness covered the skies, when doors were marked by lamb’s blood. He was there, of course, but he wasn’t on duty. This is a simple fact. He hadn’t been on duty for millennia at that point. Even if he was, he certainly didn’t have it in him to kill.

    This is the truth.
    1. There had been an Angel of Death to reap the souls of the firstborn sons of the Egyptians.
    2. It certainly wasn’t Samael.
    3. It wasn’t Azrael either.

    Heaven had a new Angel of Death. This, of course, came with its own truths.
    1. The Angel of Death had been human once, and continued to be human upon his ascension.
    2. He was even more uncontrollable than Samael had been. He couldn’t be a puppet in a grand scheme of world destruction and war. Not unless one actually took control of his body.
    3. Neither Heaven nor the Almighty had been the ones to instate him.

    Finally, and the most worrisome of all: The Angel of Death has been missing since that night in Egypt. And time marched forward nonetheless.

    It’d be a shame, then, if he had caught wind of the Second Coming.

    Summary

    After the dust has settled, after The Second Coming was halted in its tracks, Aziraphale and Crowley enjoy a lazy evening drinking old, unopened wine in a bookshop that had been gathering dust for years.

    But conversations must be had. Afterall, birds don't do well in cages.

    Summary

    Hermes, knowing full well that Charon has quite the sweet tooth, decides to invent gelt (better known as 'chocolate coins') on his behalf. Charon has no idea what to expect when a bag of clearly fake coins is shoved into his hands by his terribly excited god.

    Crowley gets a call from Aziraphale out of the blue. He accepts it, regardless of how things were left off. So many things are left unsaid. And so many things would remain unsaid.

    Summary

    "You grimace at your reflection in the blood-red water. You think you've gotten pretty damn good at surviving. You have beaten your father in combat nine times. You have died trying to escape fifty-eight times. You have been taken away by the Styx sixty-seven times.

    "It was worth it."

    Summary

    “Hermes pried his eyes away from his mirrored reflection. It was expected, he reasoned, that an individual be imperfect during war. He had seen first hand how exhausted Odysseus had looked on Aeaea. How his ribs showed, how his eyes were sunken, how his hair was unkept.

    But Hermes was not a mortal. He should not look like one.“

    [OR]

    Hermes struggles to grasp the fact that the war has made him appear physically imperfect and that the passage of Time effects gods as well.

    Summary

    Agamemnon had heard the rumors. The kind of whispers that slithered through the camp like a creeping sickness, low and urgent, only spoken when they thought no one important was listening.

    They had started long before the war, when Palamedes first dragged Odysseus from Ithaca, but here—amid the restless soldiers, the sleepless nights filled with quiet mutterings and nervous glances—they had festered into something darker, something more tangible, lurking at the edges of the men’s minds like a half-forgotten nightmare.

    They said Odysseus’s eyes were not like other men's. It wasn’t just the sharpness, the cold gleam they possessed when his mind turned inward—it was something deeper, something that felt wrong, unnatural.

    [OR]

    Agamemnon's reaction to Quick Thought.

    Summary

    In their argument, all those years ago, Odysseus had cursed Athena out, screamed at her behind his angry tears. He had insisted that she was forever alone. And, while he was not incorrect, he was not right either.

    And only after reuniting with his former mentor, his former friend, would he learn this truth.

    Summary

    “The shapeless, nameless mass pushed past the gates of Elysium. It trudged across the ashen meadows of Asphodel. The entire underworld was alight with commotion, hordes of shades congregated together like a herd of sheep, being led by their shepherd to a land with richer grass and a creek with a fresher current.

    “Life had arrived to their terrible abode, and the shade, held together by feelings, final memories, and pure bloodlust, could not help but want to drown that life so that it would join the rest of the miserable dead.”

    [OR]

    A lion-hearted shade reunites with the man of pain in one of his darkest moments.
