Summary
Even from a distance, Hera can see that Athena is being held together by adrenaline alone. There’s no room under her skin for anything else. It is enough to get her up the steps, enough to hold her upright as she drags each word from her throat, letting them tumble like rocks from her mouth. But it is not enough to keep her standing beyond that. She has barely squeezed that last 'go' through her teeth before she crumples like yesterday’s laundry, discarded on the floor.
Somewhere behind Hera, Aphrodite screams.
***
The aftermath of God Games.

***
Chapter One: Aphrodite's attempts to connect with Athena lead her to reflect on the past.
Chapter Two: Ares and Athena decide that hitting each other with swords is a healthy coping mechanism.
Chapter Three: Apollo almost acknowledges that he's out of his depth.
A continuation/follow-up to 'reckless, sentimental at best'.

Summary
Athena scoops up a handful of sand, letting it slide through her fingers in a crude imitation of an hourglass. She’s been sitting on the beach — or what passes for a beach on craggy Ithaca — for the past hour, watching the waves crash against the rocks. The tide’s coming in. If she doesn’t move soon, the sea will catch her, will wash over her and drag her out into deeper, colder waters. She wouldn’t mind. She could just float for a while. Like a jellyfish, drifting and aimless, rocked to and fro by the waves. Remarkable animals, jellyfish. They have survived for eons without a brain.
It’s a comforting thought, and a terrifying one.
***
Six weeks on from God Games, Athena is forced to contend with the fact that getting back to normal will take longer than she anticipated.
