    Summary

    There's a lot to learn about the tourist trap that is Styx Beach; that it's a dry town, that it's made up of strange and interesting people, that its beholden to the only hotel generating any kind of tourism and it's stubborn owner, but there's one thing Hermes only starts to figure out five months into his time there:

    He might be falling for that boat guy.

    Summary

    “Hi!” he blurted. “Hello. Sir. Ferryman. Uh– Charon. Can I call you Charon?”

    The souls clustered behind him, looking like they might scatter if someone so much as breathed wrong. Hermes felt only marginally braver than they did.

    He straightened, cleared his throat, and held his caduceus like it might make him seem more godly and powerful rather than making him look like a teenager with a fancy walking stick. “I’m Hermes! New psychopomp. First official run bringing souls down from the surface. Thought it’d be nice to drop by, introduce myself, do everything correctly, all that.”

    Summary

    The beginning of this is a developing relationship between Charon and Hermes. Then there's a chunk of Hermes trying to find a way to talk to Charon, which, crucially, doesn't involve actually talking to Charon. Then Hermes gets cursed and Charon has to ferry him to the bottom of the Underworld to fix it.
    There's also a lot of Hermes interacting with other characters. And a dream sequence! It's fun, I promise.

    The death/suicide tags are references to mortals. It mentions their lives and death, but it's not discussed in great detail. Just a few sentences.

    "The Boatman still didn't really attempt to communicate with Hermes that much, but he was greeting him and nodding along once in a while. And sometimes, when they were exchanging coin, the tips of Charon's fingers would touch Hermes' palms.

    That's all Hermes wanted, really. A little bit of courtesy and recognition and… fingertips."

    Summary

    “You never forget your first.”

    It’s a purely mortal saying, Hermes knows. He’s had thousands of firsts, millions probably, and he can’t be expected to remember them all.

    There are a few, though, that he’ll remember even if he has a billion more.

    Summary

    Wenona is decorous and dutiful and distinguished beyond compare, but also just so very cold. Toshiko could never imagine that the woman she’s known for the past few months would look at someone that way, unless they were —

    Wait.

    Unless… they were…

    “Together,” Toshiko breathes.

    Ingrid blinks. “What was that?”

    (Toshiko is convinced she has Ulysses and Wenona all figured out.)
