Summary
"A love strong enough to conquer death. A love so strong that it makes a man drag himself through the realm of the dead, makes him willing to kill another for the sake of the one he holds in his heart, strong enough to make him walk through a scorching desert with no end in sight, lips cracked and throat parched, feeling the call of death and still be strong enough to deny himself a drink if it meant he could save his love. Would you call it love? Perhaps that is what true love is. But that doesn’t quite fit, does it? Not really. It feels almost like… well, now isn’t the time for speculation. Not when we don’t even know the story yet. So, let’s get to it."
You can't convince me that Orpheus and Dionysus aren't perfect for each other. The man who is "too much" and the god of ritual madness and religious ecstasy? A god who Operates entirely in extremes?
This is probably not going to be very long, but I've been trying to find fics of these two and I've gotten desperate enough to attempt my own.

Summary
Dionysus doesn’t mean to end up on Orpheus’s doorstep. He doesn’t mean to end up anywhere at all, actually. He’d just… taken a step, and another, and another, and found himself here. Alone. Dionysus hates being alone.
The house is quiet until it isn’t, until broken glass crunches beneath his feet. It’s been days since Orpheus broke that glass, not weeks, not years. Less than a heartbeat in the lifetime of a god, but. But.
But Dionysus isn’t a god, not entirely. Or—he wasn’t always. He isn’t sure he wants to be, not anymore. He kneels and collects the broken glass. He wonders if the shards will cut him. He wonders if he’ll bleed.
