    Summary

    This was no time to stay put, and the Prefect knew this. They scrambled out of his grasp—and, with one startled and lightly disdainful look thrown his way, threw themselves back into the fray, yelling orders at Grim.

    Yet why couldn’t he move? The feeling of holding their warm, smaller body in his arms, their intoxicating scent… It was… different. It was new.

    He gets up, disconcerted. Were land-dwellers always this warm? Was this why Floyd loved to squeeze them?

    'Tis the story of an eel with a crush and a shrimp with a grudge.

    Summary

    Only a fool would fall for a Reaper. Fortunately, the crown happens to keep one on payroll.

    Working as a Jester has odd hours and odder customers, but the one thing that the job promises is *safety.* No executions, no unsavory attention, and certainly no shady dealings—let alone the strange bounty hunter who appears prowling through town, right alongside a mysterious string of disappearances.

    For some reason, Rook Hunt, bounty hunter and local menace, has taken an interest in the jester with a sharp tongue and terrible survival instincts. So, here Yuu was, teaching this literal murderer how to dance. After all. How rare is it that someone manages to make the *Jester* laugh?

    Summary

    "I am not permitted to speak of it," Achilles admits, with a cautious glance toward the Great Hall. He lowers his voice. "However… will you be returning to Tartarus again soon?"

    "I suppose so, yes." Zagreus frowns. “Why do you ask?”

    "...I suggest you make haste, lad.”

    Hypnos finds himself in a perilous situation. Zagreus gains a partner-in-crime. And as they face the dangers of the Underworld together, their friendship may become something else entirely.

    Summary

    “Lord Hypnos,” she fiercely declares, “I would really like to meet you, but you won’t wake up. Hecate said that Mother grew a lot of flowers, so I’m giving some to you! To go with your poppies. I hope they’re comfortable.”

    She places it on the other’s chest, and it looks more like a bouquet for the departed than anything good. The hammock lightly sways, the Shades exchanging unreadable glances. Melinoë continues to wait, just in case. She’s mastered the act. She’s waited all her life.

    “If you do like it, I hope you’ll be nice to me.”

    -

    Troubled by nightmares of her past that she just can't shake, a young Melinoë looks to Sleep Incarnate for help. In spite of his current state, and much to her surprise, Hypnos manages to lend a hand.
