    Summary

    “Pops pulled a bit of a heist, last night. Went downstairs for a tick. Brought home a new cupbearer." Dionysus takes a deep draught of wine, then laughs, raspy and intent. “He’s carried off our sweet little cousin.”

    Ares huffs. “Which of Poseidon’s thousand bloody offspring must we bear the company of this time, then?”

    “Oh, no, man, not Poseidon’s — think lower. Much lower.”

    Zeus has taken Zagreus for his new cupbearer. Ares, subject to Zeus' attentions for centuries, is left out in the cold. But Zagreus isn't the only one at risk — and his loss may put Olympus on the brink of war.

    R is for Revenge

    ***

    All of a sudden, every eye is on the man in the doorway, the excessive light from the hall illuminating him from behind like some sort of vengeful spirit. He's holding a gun. He's pointing it directly at Carter, the boy who only hours ago was attempting to console him.

    "You bastards took her from me," Richards says, voice terrifyingly low. "You told me you'd fix her, and then you killed her instead."

    Peter's mind races at a thousand miles a minute. Not Carter. Jesus Christ, not Carter. He doesn't really- he's never really even- but it can't be Carter.

    OR

    The husband of a patient who died in Vucelich's study decides to take revenge, but it's Carter who ends up in the firing line.

    Summary

    “It had always felt like there was some sort of gaping emptiness there, like a hole that Zagreus couldn’t quite fill, no matter how hard he tried. Truly, he had tried. Back when he was younger, he used to do anything to get Hades’ attention- he wanted nothing more than for his father to express his pride and affection for his son. However, it never seemed to work. There were some days/nights when Hades couldn’t even seem to bring himself to look at Zagreus. Nyx and Achilles tried to reassure him and tell him that it wasn’t his fault, but he saw past their false comforts.

    The simple truth was that Hades didn’t like Zagreus. That was fine. Zagreus didn’t like him either. Sure, every petty insult stung like a stab wound, but he could tune out the noise. He had tried to change every aspect of himself to get Hades to love him when he was little- well, then, he could change it back. He learned to embrace his identity as the King of the Underworld’s wayward son, drifting aimlessly and lacking a purpose.”

    Zagreus runs until he can’t, and he finds himself along the way.
