Summary
Shouto drops to his knees on the hard, rocky ground, spitting blood. It sizzles and evaporates — it’s impossible for any moisture to stay liquid for long in Asphodel with the waves of heat emanating from the ever-present river of lava.
He coughs again, and more blood spatters the ground. A collapsed lung, maybe. Whatever. He pushes to his feet and kicks at the giant hydra skull, the only thing that remains of the many-headed monster that has prevented him from achieving his goal all this time.
Until now. That fucking hydra is finally dead, and he's closer than ever before to escaping this literal hellhole and getting out from under his father's thumb at last.
And— and finding out what really happened to his mother.
(Note: you don’t have to have played Hades to read this, there are just some details you’ll appreciate more if you have)

Summary
Instead Of Getting Hit, Don’t — from Izuku’s POV.
You can read it without the main fic, but it will make more sense in context.
—
“H-How’d it go, Prince Shouto? Welcome back to the House!” Izuku smiles encouragingly.“How do you think it went?” The Prince shoots a glare his way — okay, fair, it’s clear how that might have been an insensitive question. The harsh expression softens just a bit, and he sighs. “And I’ve told you before: just Shouto. I have no interest in being Prince anything.”
“Ah, I see it says you d-died to some spikes this time.” Izuku swallows. He can do it. He can give some helpful advice. “Have you tried, um, not standing on the trap when the spikes come out?”
“Right.” Shouto rolls his eyes. “Thanks, Izuku. Instead of standing on spikes, don’t. I’ll remember that.”
Shit. Why can’t he ever manage to put the right words together? Don’t stand on spikes, ugh— he’s not an idiot, but he sure sounds like one sometimes. It never seems to be an issue aside from when he’s around Shouto.
“You’re welcome!” he calls after the retreating back of the prince. Even if that ‘Thanks, Izuku’ hadn’t been entirely sincere, he’ll respond…aspirationally.
