    Summary

    "Please consider what I’m about to say. Think of it as you return to your mother. You must put as much thought into it as you can. Will you? Please, promise me you will.”

    “Yes! Whatever it is, I’ll consider it.”

    “Eventually Lord Hades will have mercy upon you. He will. I know that must sound strange—the most severe of the gods showing mercy where his kindred won’t—but it’s the truth. The Olympians are more… unreliable. The only way I can see to protect the Underworld and in turn you and your mother is this: Bind yourself to me.” His hands tremble. He brushes his thumb along the crook of Zag’s throat, so very sweet, even when he’s rigid with tension. “Wed me.”

     

    Raised by his mother far away from both Olympus and the Underworld, a strange series of events leads Zagreus to meeting a faceless, nameless Chthonic god.

    Summary

    The prince, amicable to a fault and stronger than his small frame lets on, ensnared Death so effectively it pales in comparison to even Sisyphus' stunt. By his smile alone can he draw Death closer into his grasp, and Thanatos isn’t sure he would mind if he never lets go.

    Summary

    This is a first for Thanatos. He has drunk before, yes, but he has never drunk quite this much, and certainly never wine direct from Dionysus’ cup. He had had a lot of it, as overflowing and everlasting as it is, heady and potent enough to disarm a Hydra. Dionysus had offered, and Death was about to politely decline when Zagreus came out of nowhere, swinging an arm around him. He said right next to his ear, “For the record, this is what I meant by ‘live a little’,” before taking his own big gulp from the goblet, Dionysus laughing as it spilled down his chin. Thanatos remembers watching Zagreus wipe away the wine from the side of his mouth, smiling and licking his lips and when he pushed the cup towards Death, he put it to his mouth without a second thought. Thanatos drank, and the sound of Zagreus’ shocked laughter coaxed him further. So long as he heard Zag’s delighted shouts and befuddled cheers, he drank.

    Summary

    “Zagreus,” Thanatos sighed, a low and lonesome sound. “What is it that you need from me?”

    “Sleep,” came the choked reply. “Please. Whatever you must do. Anything to get me to sleep.”

    Or: Zagreus traverses the Underworld in endless cycles, unable to find any rest; though he grows stronger each time that he perishes, his body refuses to let him sleep. For this, he seeks a begrudging Thanatos, who becomes his only respite.

    | Inspired by the response given when interacting with Zagreus' bed in his chambers - "can't sleep". A slow-burn, Thanatos-centric character exploration/ZagThan coming-together story. |
