    He will know him in death, at the end of the world.

    When a Titan is reborn, its cries shake the heavens and the Gods shudder, Zagreus will be in Thanatos' peripheral, grinning with stars in his eyes

    Summary

    Warm night — the air perfumed with olive blossom and dried blood. Waves lapping at the shore, drowning out the sleeping moans of the other soldiers — minds drifting in dreams to their homes, their wives, the lives lost and sundered to the endless grind of bodies atop the scorched sand. A voice somewhere from above, familiar. Half-sleeping eyes open and rise to meet a face framed in golden light. Flaxen curls spill forth and down, mingling with the dark ringlets which fall around his own shoulders. Sadness in the features, etched into the lines of the skin, kiss-stained corners of the lips turned down. He leans upwards, catches that sadness in his mouth, swallows it.
    Time passes, quiet returns, broken only by a voice hushed, near-silent in the crackling air.
    “Pat, the war won’t go on forever.”
    “That is exactly what I fear.”

     

    Risen from Tartarus by a benefactor whose name and face he cannot recall, Patroclus passes his days under the monotonous sun of Elysium, tending to his garden and meditating by the shore of the Lethe, seeking to piece together his memories.

    My own personal take on the story arc of Achilles and Patroclus, from the latter's perspective.

    Summary

    “I… I will not be able to convince him to stop fighting.” Patroclus said carefully, wary of displeasing a god, “Even my word cannot dissuade him from his destiny.”

    “See that’s the fun part, you don’t have to convince him of anything.” Hypnos smiled, “In fact, you don’t have to do anything for this plan. We’re just gonna take you out of the equation for a little bit, that’s all, grant Achilles some clarity of mind.” Patroclus’ eyes went wide as he put it together, fists clenching on his thighs at Hypnos’ blithe air over such a cruel plan.

    “I am to be held hostage?” he rasped, heart heavy and throat tight, “To be used against Achilles like... like a favored toy dangled over a misbehaving child?”

    Summary

    The Olympians, some more willing than others, take an opportunity to try and invade the Underworld, only to find themselves stopped at the entrance by a little slip of a god with a lazy smile and mischievous yellow eyes.

    Hermes is the only one who understands just how fucked they all are

    Summary

    Hermes went missing six years ago after a botched confession of love and a poor choice of words on Charon's part. Moving on is a difficult process, especially when Charon knows what most likely happened to him. Despite that, he hopes Hermes is still a free synthetic man, out there somewhere living his life away from both Charon and the Institute. It's a fantasy that keeps him going, makes the guilt and life without Hermes easier as the years begin to march on.

    But in a contested city miles upon miles away, all of that comes crumbling back down when Charon sees first hand what happened to his friend...
