Summary
Hades never wished for an heir, never wanted a blasted child running through the grand halls of his House.
So, when Zagreus admits he once dreamed of living on Olympus, Zeus seizes the opportunity.
OR
Zeus kidnaps Zagreus at the feast to be his cupbearer.
Zagreus quickly learns this entails far more than holding a chalice for the King of the Gods. -

Summary
“It’s improper to whip a prince. If there’s anyone I relied on to stick to formalities it would be you, Father.”
“You should recall,” Hades began leaning eerily over his desk, “That a student never outranks his mentor.”
Zagreus’ mismatched eyes nearly bulged out of his head.
“What? No! You can’t seriously make Achilles-”“You will find that I can, and I will.”

Summary
“Than, baby…” he reaches up to cup Thanatos’ cheek, brushing a few locks of white-blonde hair away from his face. “Did you steal Daddy’s gum?” He already knows the answer, of course. He certainly didn’t swallow it.
“Mhmm.” Thanatos nods, sticking out his tongue to show the half-chewed wad of gum.
“That’s cute, baby, but that was Daddy’s Nicorette.” And Ares’ cravings are no joke. He technically shouldn’t still be chewing two pieces within an hour eight weeks after trying to quit, but he hadn’t touched an actual cigarette in almost sixty days, so that was a win, right?
Thanatos screws up his face and violently spits out the gum. It gets stuck in a tract of carpet near his boots.

Summary
He wants his mother, for one thing. Like a lost child with aching feet, he wants his mother.
He wants to drink of the Lethe, be lost forever in a numb haze of white. He wants to cloak himself in darkness until even Nyx herself can’t find him, fall backwards into Chaos itself, sink heavy and useless into his grandparent’s domain and scatter into a million different parts. He wants to go to Elysium and bring the King and the Bull low there just to hear the crowd’s cheers for him, a million blurred faces who don’t know who he is or what he’s done and never will-- and love him despite.
It’s not real love, of course; they just like the show.
And if Zagreus really is the god of blood, the Fates must be laughing.
