    Summary

    The tether keeping the two of them connected is so threadbare it’s pathetic. But it doesn’t matter as long as he can keep Kyouji coming back just one more time.

    Summary

    Gods can tell when something supernatural is near. It is palpable, an almost solid weight in the atmosphere. When nearing Olympus, the thin mountain air becomes thick and heavy with divinity, pouring out over every gilded surface, glinting in the sunlight. Hermes knows what power feels like unencumbered and free flowing. How it sparks out of the fingertips of heroes, and settles softly like dewdrops in the hair of nymphs.

    This? This was different.

    -

    Hermes has a secret. A place he goes where no one will bother him, a break amidst the whirlwind of his tasks. A place to soothe his aches and worries, where he thought he would never be found.

    Until a man stumbles in. Tall and alluring with black hair and gold eyes, desperate to know him. It's the perfect antidote to the slow poison of knowing his heart's true desire will never love him back. Or is it?

    Summary

    A change was happening in the Underworld. More accurately, the King of Olympus had appointed a new psychopomp. Now, Charon did not know much about his new associate other than he was supposed to be fast, very fast. Even then, it was probably going to be annoying, since any form of change was always annoying.
    Then suddenly, there was laughter in the Temple of the Styx.
    -
    Hermes was almost beside himself with excitement! Chthonic gods were fascinating, and the boatman was no exception. He had to get closer, maybe fly in circles around him a few times, or even steal his hat, just to see what the other would do. A partnership with someone far removed from his family sounded exactly like the thing he needed.
    -
    Or how Hermes and Charon slowly but surely develop and define their partnership and themselves. Not that much can happen, since gods can't really change, right?

    Summary

    "Ilya had loved him through his worst moments. Ilya had helped him find a therapist when he’d collapsed on the floor of their hotel bathroom after losing a particularly brutal game, scratching at his chest. Ilya had held him, even when Shane yelled at him because there was panic crawling under his skin and he felt as though it might claw its way out. Ilya had told him it was okay; that it didn’t make him a bad player to resent the spotlight sometimes, that it didn’t make him a bad teammate to hate the team when they were too loud and too drunk and too physical, that it didn’t make him a bad person to need space to breathe. Ilya saved him.

    And look what you give him in return. You’re a shitty husband, Shane Hollander.

    You don’t deserve his last name."

    Summary

    “Well.” Michael puts his glass down on his coaster. Taps the hobnailed glass with his fingertips, once, twice. Then, as casually as he’s said anything else that evening, “I had a really shitty day at work and I was hoping to work that frustration out by fucking some stranger.”

    “I’m a stranger.” Dennis hears himself say.

    OR:
    Dennis goes to a gay bar for the first time. He meets a handsome stranger called Michael. Smut ensues. Definitely no consequences will follow.
