    Summary

    Achilles cannot imagine what this prince from the surface might be like. Raised by Demeter! A young god with his father’s wrath and his mother’s impetuousness, fuelled by his grandmother’s calculated spite. He thinks of the swathes of dead that disembark Charon’s ferry still shivering and huddled together as though their shades could hold warmth.

    Perhaps the Zagreus who has grown up with cold eternal is as icy and cruel as Demeter herself. Perhaps he will bring nothing but strife. Olympian history is full of sons overthrowing their fathers, after all.

    Summary

    Hades places one hand over Zag’s head, careful to make the touch soft, barely noticeable. He doubts he’s ever done this, pat his son on the head. Or touched him at all in a manner that did not hurt him. Not in years at least.

    (I’m sorry, he does not say.)

    With his other hand, he snaps his fingers.

    Or: Zagreus is cursed to forget each time he dies.

    Summary

    Five perspectives on Thanatos and Zagreus as they fall, and in the aftermath.

    “He's not leaving,” Thanatos bites back. “There's nowhere to go.”

    Ah, the words of a god. To Achilles’ once-mortal eyes, there are cracks and open windows and doors with just the right key and escape routes aplenty from the House. “So you'd think. I guess wherever he goes, you'll be seeing him either way.”

    Thanatos turns to him and it's as if this had never occurred to him. “What do you mean?”

    “Didn't you tell him? It's a hard world out there. I’m sure he'll find out, and I don't know anything that can bleed that doesn't wash up here eventually.”

    Summary

    “Wait,” Lucas takes another glance at Will, specifically at the sweater he’s wearing. “Is that Mike’s?”

    Here’s the other thing about the last eight or so months of Will Byers’ life: he’s been spending his nights, on and off, secretly, semi-occasionally, very frequently, kissing Mike Wheeler.

    He’s confused about it too, don’t even worry.

    Summary

    He thinks about the ‘ritual’, how disturbing it felt, how heavy the words weighted in his mouth. He thinks of the taste of his own blood and the uneasy feeling of all those eyes on him that he wanted to escape but didn’t dare. He remembers Luca’s presence in his peripheral vision and at the back of his mind. The cut on his lower lip stings a little and he reflexively runs his tongue over it.

    Triggered by the movement, Luca's sharp gaze fixates on the cut. As if mesmerized, he raises his hand to Enzo's face, lifting his chin slightly, and strokes the cut with his thumb. For a moment, as Enzo holds his breath, Luca looks like he's about to say something but then his eyes shift to Enzo's, and the spell is broken.

    “My apologies.”
