    Summary

    Hades places one hand over Zag’s head, careful to make the touch soft, barely noticeable. He doubts he’s ever done this, pat his son on the head. Or touched him at all in a manner that did not hurt him. Not in years at least.

    (I’m sorry, he does not say.)

    With his other hand, he snaps his fingers.

    Or: Zagreus is cursed to forget each time he dies.

    Summary

    It was a pallid relief when the breath stilled in his lungs, and the pool of blood beneath him came up to swallow him whole. He sank down into the darkness and warm shame of the blood of the Styx, tears washed away by the encompassing darkness. The pain dulled into a steady throbbing that he knew was only temporary before the aching soreness returned. The taste of metal filled his mouth.

    Zagreus came up with a gasp, heaving up a stomach full of blood that he had choked on in his death. His body spasmed for a few moments until he was able to relax his muscles, and the all-encompassing exhaustion descended upon him like shackles.

    --

    Dying so many times has to take a toll on Zagreus, he has to be tired.

    Summary

    “I… I will not be able to convince him to stop fighting.” Patroclus said carefully, wary of displeasing a god, “Even my word cannot dissuade him from his destiny.”

    “See that’s the fun part, you don’t have to convince him of anything.” Hypnos smiled, “In fact, you don’t have to do anything for this plan. We’re just gonna take you out of the equation for a little bit, that’s all, grant Achilles some clarity of mind.” Patroclus’ eyes went wide as he put it together, fists clenching on his thighs at Hypnos’ blithe air over such a cruel plan.

    “I am to be held hostage?” he rasped, heart heavy and throat tight, “To be used against Achilles like... like a favored toy dangled over a misbehaving child?”
