    Summary

    It is known that the gods have both Greek and Roman versions, Apollo barely chafed throughout the years. Or did he?

    Apollo did not stay the same, he forgot how he changed, and inside of him for centuries he left the neglected fading half of himself

    Day 11: Fall of a Beast

    “You’re not going to love me after this.”

    Zeus froze as he registered his son’s words. Apollo still trembled against his chest, sniffling softly. The sun god looked up at him with big, blue eyes that mirrored his own. The god king ran his fingers gently through the boy’s golden locks, careful not to let them catch and pull. “What makes you say that, sunbeam?”

    Apollo’s chin trembled as he clutched the front of his father’s chiton. “Father…”

    “I told you,” Zeus chastised lightly. “I’m your Papa. I don’t know why you keep insisting on the formalities."

    “Most of the time you don’t allow me to call you anything other than ‘My Lord’.”

    OR: Sometimes, the abused become the abusers. Zeus had sworn to end that, and failed without realizing it. This time, he remembers what it's like to be—

    Summary

    “Oh, House,” Wilson gasps.

    House bristles at the stricken tone, even as his cheeks warm with his friend’s concern. He just knows Wilson is giving him that stupid kicked puppy look, and it’s a shame he has no cane to smack it off his face.

    Still, he agrees with the sentiment. ‘Oh, House,’ indeed. Even in his current state, the raw implications of two broken arms on a cripple are harrowing.

    Summary

    “House, you okay?”

    Of course he’s okay, he’s not the one dying, and as a matter of fact, right now, neither is Wilson. Wilson just has a stupid cold and decides to make it everyone else’s problem by having a coughing fit in the middle of the night and making House think he’s actively, acutely dying.

    “House,” Wilson says, right next to his ear now. House startles – he hadn’t even heard him get out of bed. “House, listen to me. I think you’re having a panic attack. You need to breathe slowly and steadily.”

    That’s ridiculous, House wants to say, but he can’t, because he’s suddenly very aware of how he can barely get enough air to breathe, let alone speak.

    Wilson's fight with cancer affects House more than he cares to admit.
