    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 do not know how many seconds lie between your birth, and the first time you spot the godling on the shore. You do not know how many seconds lie between the first moment you witnessed a glitter of gold and this one. How many years, how many eons. You have not begun to count time, yet.

    All you know is that there is a new gaggle of shades on the riverbanks, and towering over them, an Olympian.

    Summary

    Hermes darted down on impulse.

    “Wait! I think I can help you out,” he offered, stopping just before the apparition.

    This wasn't any different than helping a stranded shepherd or traveler, right? He answered their prayers all the time. This was just another lost soul, literally. He wasn’t infringing any boundaries by doing this. Probably.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Amazing read. I love how well the author built up the relationship, bit of a slow burn, but its foundation is so solid that you can't get worked up about it.

    Summary

    “Y-Yeah,” the slightly stuttered answer is beyond charming. Shōta’s already imagining a thousand and one ways he can hear that stutter again in more private settings. “Y-You’re my favorite hero.”

    See, that dark voice whispers delightedly in Shōta’s ear again, he’s already yours.

    “Hmm,” Shōta hums, all of Nedzu’s training scurrying to the forefront of his mind. Careful, careful, his old sensei’s voice hums in his ear, you don’t want to startle your prey. “Not many people know Underground Heroes, especially not me.”

    “I-I,” that stutter is back in full force along with a fresh wave of red across those cheeks, “I’m a-an analyst so I-I read a lot of your case files.”

    Summary

    There are many things that Shouta knows to be facts, both about himself and about the world as a whole. For himself, he knows that his name is Aizawa Shouta, and that he's thirty-five years old. He's a pro-hero, a teacher, a husband, and a father. Of the world he knows that, among many other things, time flows linearly and death is the end of life.

    These are all facts; things that cannot be changed. Indisputable.

    So how in the ever living fuck did he find himself in the five year old body of Midoriya Izuku, fifteen years in the past and after presumably dying?

    (Alternate title: God Won't Let Me Die, and I'm Going to Make That Everyone's Problem. Or, Aizawa Shouta dies and is reborn as Midoriya Izuku.)

    Summary

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a solo underground hero in good standing must be in want of a support analyst.

     

    Aizawa Shouta expels Midoriya on the first day of school at UA.

    It doesn't quite... take.

    Summary

    Harry Potter was forty years old, a father of three, and on top of the world... only to wake up one morning in his childhood cupboard - though, not exactly in his own childhood. Trapped in an alternate universe where his parents are alive, he was abandoned to the Dursleys anyway, and everyone's calling his brother "The Boy Who Lived" (despite all evidence to the contrary), Harry just wants to escape the drama and figure out how to go home. But between a spoiled bully for a father, a brother raised to think he's the messiah, a sister who hates him, a mother who's suspicious of him, and the downright weird divergences this timeline has taken, that's easier said then done.

    Oh, and Voldemort's there too.

    Summary

    He had a ledger that reminded him of all the ways Zagreus had died before, and he had a prodigiously good imagination. That was all he really needed. It gave him answer enough.

    He felt the way Zagreus’s mind shifted and swayed towards unconsciousness as his fight went on and he must have sustained more injuries, seeking desperate shelter from pain. The mind always shied from its own suffering — when agony was too sharp, too much, it reached desperately for that solace that Hypnos held at his command. It yearned for unconsciousness. So whenever something hurt Zagreus enough for his mind to start reaching for the oblivion of Sleep, desperate to faint rather than endure some acute torment, Hypnos felt it.

    And then he always felt Zagreus struggling to master his own mind. Trying — just through sheer force of will — to pull away. To stay conscious. To stagger on.

    And Hypnos had to decide what to do.

    Summary

    "What if I help you?" Grace blurts out desperately, sweating even in the coolness of his house as his words finally manage to stop Adrian from storming out.

    "What?" Adrian says after a tense moment.

    "I can prove it to everyone," Grace says, his heart in his throat. "I'll - I'll make you and Rocky the most celebrated couple on Erid. I promise."

    "Stupid human," Adrian hisses. "You would give up your chance for him just like that?"

    "Yes," Grace says hoarsely.

    "Anything for him."

    ***

    Adrian does not like Grace.

    Which sucks, really, since Grace loves Adrian's husband and all.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has been living in the human-friendly bio-dome on Erid for a human month. But with Rocky being busy with other work most of the time, the Eridian scientists start to wonder if maybe they should let him socialize more. Adrian knows a bit about Ryland, and Ryland knows a bit about Adrian, so the decision is made to let Rocky introduce the two and see if Adrian could be the one to keep the human stable until the dome is stable enough to let him freely socialize.

    —-

     

    Short happenings of Grace’s life in the dome, with time skips interspersed

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is, against all odds, alive. He's living a lavish life on Erid with all the me-burgers he can eat and more probing (not like that!) scientists than he could have ever imagined. He's a teacher again, he's got beachfront property, and he's known as Savior Grace to a planet of aliens. Life is good.

    Rocky is, against all odds, alive. After over half an century (always Earth units!) away from home, he's more than ecstatic to be back. His star is brightening, his mate waited for him, and all of Erid loves him. Any request he has is almost instantly fulfilled. Life is good.

    So why are neither of them happy?

    Summary

    Grace is unprepared for the level of love that all of Erid seemed to have for him. It was vaguely terrifying, but also.... nice? To be cared for. To be wanted.

    It gets worse when they find out the circumstances of him ending up on the Hail Mary.

    When his declining health necessitates a trip back to Earth, he is faced with a planet that loves him so fiercely and wonderfully that it finally starts to break through his crippling lack of self worth and bloom into something incredible.

    And Earth? Earth has to deal with an Erid that is polite, protective, and most of all, pissed.

    Summary

    “There’s, um, two clinical manifestations of beriberi. Wet and dry,” he explained. “Dry damages the nervous system. Numbness in the hands and feet, difficulty walking, confusion, all that good stuff.”

    Rocky would never understand how Grace could talk about his body deteriorating so casually. His wry smile every time the taumoeba came right back out of his mouth, the blood left on his toothbrush after he brushed. “I’m leaking again,” he’d laugh. Humans could laugh without sounding happy, Rocky had learned.

    Grace gets beriberi on his way to Erid. Rocky copes.

    Summary

    Apparently this was all the jostling that the man needed to wake back up. He gnashed his teeth, growling, “Who are you? Where’s Ava!”

    Grace tried to pull backwards but the man grabbed his shirt, “Stratt? She’s not here!”

    The man stilled somewhat, “What?” He asked.

    Grace regained his balance, “Eva Stratt. It’s her mission, right? She’s not here. I’m Ryland Grace, I’m here to help you.”

    ———

    Just before he dies to the Blood Ocean, Simon appears in the Hail Mary's airlock while Grace is holding his crew's funeral. The crew is back at the correct headcount with a scientist, an engineer, and a pilot, but none of them were originally meant to be on this ship, and Grace still hasn't gotten around to telling anyone it's a one-way trip for the humans. Grace counts his victories in unraveled scientific mysteries, while Simon counts his in getting Grace to swear.
