Summary
"Pat, this boy is just as broken as we were. But we had each other, and I don't think he has anyone. I want to give him at least one person in his life he can trust with all his heart," Achilles said.
Patroclus' dark eyes rested thoughtfully on his face. Then, he reached up to cup his husband's cheek and hold him in place while he leaned over and fitted their lips together in a warm kiss.
"Hell, why not. I always wanted kids."
Zagreus, just having escaped from an abusive household, has never known a father's unconditional love. Patroclus and Achilles find they have more than enough of it to spare. Although slowly, Zagreus begins to learn at last that there are people who genuinely care for him. And maybe, just maybe, it's not so wrong after all that one of those people is his childhood friend.

Summary
Achilles cannot imagine what this prince from the surface might be like. Raised by Demeter! A young god with his father’s wrath and his mother’s impetuousness, fuelled by his grandmother’s calculated spite. He thinks of the swathes of dead that disembark Charon’s ferry still shivering and huddled together as though their shades could hold warmth.
Perhaps the Zagreus who has grown up with cold eternal is as icy and cruel as Demeter herself. Perhaps he will bring nothing but strife. Olympian history is full of sons overthrowing their fathers, after all.

His body washes up in the House of Hades, completely lifeless. Whoops.

Summary
It occurs to Thanatos for probably the millionth time in their lives that Zagreus might actually be insane, which should put a slight damper on a particularly recent and important revelation of Than’s. It doesn’t.
Five times Zagreus tries to flirt with Thanatos and the one time Thanatos actually does something about it.
