Summary
The past few years have been intense for Zagreus - he's escaped his father, moved into a place of his own, found a job he enjoys that pays the rent and finally started therapy. He's looking for an artist who can give him a tattoo that represents how far he's come. Thanatos is talented and kind hearted - can he give Zagreus what he's looking for?
In collaboration with the amazing Star (https://twitter.com/starafterparty) - illustrations sprinkled in some chapters!

Summary
Thanatos always remembers. How Zagreus’s touch is so warm against his skin, how just the brush of his fingertips over the flesh of his arm ignites his senses.
He knows himself to be the opposite: cold, in more ways than one. There’s no warmth in his own arms, his fingers more like the ice Zagreus is just barely now experiencing.
He’s cold, in the silence that he finds comfort in and how the way Zag so easily smiles isn’t something just as easy to him.
And that he’s selfish; Thanatos wants everything that Zagreus is, every piece of him.

Summary
"Look, the whole of London's cracking up," she told him. "I'm finding it hard enough to work as it is without my commute being screwed up by the buses going on strike, and half my books turning into birds. That angel is wrecking everything, but in particular, my life - and you're too busy hating yourself to open your eyes and deal with it. I'm telling you, it has to stop."
"Is that all still happening?" Crowley said vaguely. "But I found him."
"Oh my God, you can tell you don't commute," Anathema said. "The buses went on strike, Mr. Crowley."
"That's perfectly normal for London. You'll learn."
"You're not listening! Not the drivers, the buses. They're organising - meeting in secret, holding little candlelight vigils. Nobody else really knows what's going on - everyone's just assuming it's, like, general TfL incompetence or something - but it's only a matter of time. So what are you going to do about it?"
"Er... have they submitted a list of their demands?" Crowley said helplessly.

Summary
A story following Zagreus and Thanatos as they learn to live a little.
OR: zagreus knows a bit about rising and falling while attempting to escape, but when it comes to all things thanatos his idiocy level can only rise. thanatos is great at helping others pass on, but when it comes to talking with zagreus he may simply pass away. the rest of the underworld collectively rolls their eyes.«««««««« ─────── · I · ─────── ««««««««
It should be enough for Thanatos to pull himself away, to fall into the familiar repetition. Yet now he can’t cast the memories from his mind: the lightness of Zag’s grin amidst the swarming wretches, his fluid bend and curve, so much cleaner in motion than Thanatos had thought him capable of. How easily Zagreus stole from Death. The wide-eyed way Thanatos caught him staring back. The hunger of him.
No, he can’t cast aside the flicker of life below the surface, rising, rising, then—
Gone.
Thanatos flashes into the House, to the balcony, before he knows what he’s doing. As though he’s no longer his own. He can feel the souls call and protest above but he ignores them, turning instead to the curling red of the Styx.
He waits.Series

Summary
The weapon shudders in Thanatos’s hand, anticipating death. “You must hate me,” he whispers, “to keep doing this to me. To keep making me do this.”
Zagreus is still, and Thanatos finds himself leaning in, chasing the warmth. He hesitates. His scythe shakes in his hand again. Impatient.
“I don’t hate you,” Zagreus says, his voice and his face even, determined. “But I will break you.”
Thanatos as the Asphodel boss AU. It’s snowing on the surface, the Phlegethon burns, and Zagreus’s infernal heat slowly melts through Thanatos’s icy resolve.
