Summary
The past is a strange, shaded thing.
Ares remembers flashes of his mother’s hurts; his father’s rage. The feel of their fury.
The silent shape of the missing years.
Ares knows of his early life what he is told.
Of himself, he knows what he carves into being.
It is difficult to grow into yourself when you don't know who you are, but sometimes finding out is only the beginning.
OR: a story following Ares as he learns to navigate his family, his first love, and worst of all, himself.Series

Summary
“I shouldn’t ask this of you,” Thanatos says quietly.
“Ask what?” Ares looks down at him, breath shallow. “You’ve never asked anything of me—I wish that you would.”
It's disorienting, the burn of Ares’ eyes as he watches him, unblinking, arms heavy around him, cuirass pressed cold against Thanatos' chest.
“I’ll only hurt you, you know.”
Ares smiles. “I know.”That War would admire Death should be of no surprise. Yet when Thanatos unexpectedly takes Ares up on a long-standing invitation, surprises abound.

Summary
Thanatos is bad at dealing with his emotions, especially the more painful ones, but bottling them up only hurts him more. Luckily, as a god well-versed in influencing battle spirit and an avid student of Death, Ares has learned of a way to help him—and he's never been one to shy from pain.
All Thanatos has to do is say the magic words.or: instead of talking about trauma, they play with it.

"I'm not making you stay, my friend," he says with amusement, "nor did I make you come, though I would be most—"
"You couldn't make me stay if I didn't wish it," Thanatos interrupts abruptly, eyes latching onto his own.
Ares freezes, ichor heated in an instant by the familiar invitation. "Of course I couldn't," he says, the thought sinking to his gut.Series
