Summary
The bed is empty.
The cradle is empty.
The doors are open.
For a fraction of a second, he does not move. The realization lands all at once, sharp and cold, cutting through every controlled thought he’s been holding in place.
Then he moves.
Fast with a speed that has no hesitation in it, no second-guessing. His gaze sweeps the room, already knowing where this leads, already feeling something tightening in his chest that has nothing to do with power and everything to do with fear.
The balcony doors stand open.
The night beyond them is vast.
He steps through.
And there she is.
Hera stands at the edge, the horizon stretching endlessly behind her, the drop below swallowed in darkness. The wind moves faintly around her, catching the edges of her gown, lifting strands of her hair, but she does not react to it.
***
Birth of Hephaestus. Exploration of Hera's postpartum depression, povs from both parents. How they mishandled the situation with each other emotionally. And a little "fix-it" at the end for a certain event that happened between Hera and Hephaestus.

Summary
Artemis lifted her head, affronted. “I taunted Apollo! Not her! I just said he should be able to fight Poseidon. How is that even remotely—”
“Artemis,” Zeus said, his tone patient in the way only a father of far too many could manage. “You indirectly mocked Poseidon, one of her allies. During a war. In front of the other gods.”
“That doesn’t mean she gets to—”
He held up a hand. “She’s Hera. She absolutely gets to.”
Artemis gaped at him. “You’re supposed to be on my side!”
“I am.” he said, almost cheerfully. “Just… not against her. That’s how I stay alive. I think even immortality has it’s limits when it comes to keeping a husband intact.”
She blinked, unsure if she’d heard that right. “You’re taking her side?”
“I’m not taking sides.” Zeus said with an airy wave of his hand. “I’m choosing peace. Domestic tranquility. You would have understand that if you were in my place.”
