    Summary

    Melinoë had nearly forgotten about the Gifts of the Veil. It wasn’t until she was in the middle of demonstrating Ygnium’s various attacks when she noticed Moros had gone unusually still, not paying the slightest attention to her.

    Rather, he was paying attention to the inanimate Melinoë, carved and polished in jade, standing proud and tall in the far back of the training grounds, her abdomen on full display.

    “Oh.” Melinoë could smack herself. “I can explain.”

    ***

    Melinoë keeps forgetting about the Gifts of the Veil when she has visitors at the training grounds.

    Summary

    Now, Zagreus has suffered all sorts of injuries over his career as Professional Escapee: crushed, bashed, shot, stabbed, clubbed, poisoned, run through, run over, burned, boiled, bitten - if there was an injury to be had, Zagreus had probably experienced some variant of it.

    It’s how he knows that he’s been clubbed over the head with something rough when he wakes up again. He’s also bound and blindfolded, but from the feeling of the cart beneath him and the low male voices ahead of him, it’s not Meg offering an impromptu playtime session.

    Summary

    She went first to the hives of Silence and requested from them their beeswax. Then she found where the clay men had hidden their newfound fire, and took from their hearth the smallest burning scrap, which she used to light a wick. As the wax melted down it, its layers dripped and hardened upon themselves, and when it lengthened into a shape she could carry in her arms, she the Night bent her head and kissed life into it. This became the infant she called Charon, half-melted and smoking Promethean fire with every breath.

    At the end of this recounting, she tilted her head and asked politely, Is this not how you have children?

    Uh, no, said Persephone.

    Summary

    "Are you all right, granddaughter?" Chronos asks, and the gentleness in his voice rings both true and viscerally wrong.

    Summary

    Is your favorite fandom full of fics with tags you hate? Sick of some tropes the rest of your fandom loves? Hate some popular pairings? Need to make sure a triggering topic doesn't come across your screen? Just want a break from works with a certain tag before you dive back into them? Then this is the tutorial for you!

    This guide assumes you know the basics of AO3's built-in tagging and filtering system, and will be updated the more I learn about avoiding works based on their tags.

    Disclaimer: No system is perfect; no matter which method(s) you use, it's still possible you'll come across content you don't want to see. Keep this in mind, especially if you're trying to avoid triggers.
