Summary
Zagreus is a university student who feels aimless in life. His girlfriend dumped him, things between him & his best friend are weird, and he lacks ambition in his studies, all while the optimistic visions of his generation’s future are becoming lost. Until one day, he falls into the orbit of Achilles & Patroclus―a charming, yet eccentric pair who completely alter Zagreus’ outlook on life & death, love & loss, past & future, and the transitions in between.

Summary
Hades gameverse amnesia AU. Patroclus drinks from the River Lethe and loses his memories of Achilles. Achilles attempts to woo him all over again, now with personal growth and wisdom on his side. But it turns out not to be so simple when the fame and reputation he acquired in life contrast with the man that he has become as well as the man that Patroclus always saw in him.
With memories of life and the afterlife interwoven between a slowburn romance, this fic is a canon divergence story, a canon compliant pre-canon story, and an Iliad retelling all in one.

Summary
“Does anyone else know about this, Erwin?” Levi asks.
“No,” Erwin answers.
“This could kill you, Erwin.”
“I am aware of that.”
“Don’t you know what the proper treatment is for an illness like this? Surely you do. They call it—“
“I know what they call it,” Erwin interrupts, his words quick and sharp and full of warning, like the firing of a shotgun.
Harlot’s consumption, it’s often called. Passed on sexually, and yet paradoxically the most effective treatment against it is sexual contact. Raised in a brothel as a child, Levi knew it well. It was not the illness that claimed his mother’s life, but many of the workers there were chronically ill. Flowers were a rare sight in the Underground, where most plants did not grow, so his concept of one was limited to the context of such suffering. That the beauty and simple pleasure of flowers had been corrupted for him was something he did not fully realize until he came up to the surface to see them for himself in their natural form.

Summary
It isn’t the first time Patroclus has him like this, on his knees and at his mercy. It started as a one-off, a game, one of the many they have invented for themselves over the years. A way to experiment and pass the time, but it wasn’t long before it became more, a habit rather than a rare treat. One of the handful of things that has been able to stop Achilles from flying into bouts of uncontrollable rage these days. The war is running him ragged, and Patroclus is the only one able to stop its ferocious onslaught.
Here, in the tent they share, Patroclus has the final word.

Summary
Achilles places his hand over Zagreus’s heart. It pounds under his palm. Blood rushes through this warm body. Achilles has seen enough blood to last a thousand thousand lifetimes but finds himself drawn to it now, that jumping pulse on the side of his neck, the promise of life barely contained in this strange and beautiful body. He kisses the pulse, feels it flickering under his mouth, and whispers into the echoes of the god’s heartbeat, “Let him kiss you here.”
A love letter is sent from the depths of Hades’s House. Somewhere along the banks of the Lethe, someone accepts.

Summary
"Hi," he says. "I'm Zagreus. You've got to be Pat, right?"
He's assembled this sentence in advance, so it comes out fine, and it's only just as he tips his head back to give him a better look out from under his hat that it hits him: Achilles' husband is super hot.
To be expected, Zagreus thinks, even as the other half of his brain is saying, well, shit.
"I suppose I do," comes the reply. Patroclus gives him an assessing sort of look. Zagreus shifts a little, nervous, and then tells himself off for being nervous. They've only just met; there's no way Patroclus can know that Zag has an enormous crush on his husband. "How long?"
Zagreus feels the grin slip a little. He's briefly terrified that Achilles' husband can read minds. "What?"
Patroclus looks amused. "The garden. How long will it take you?"

Summary
Erwin is an environmental scientist, a driven man on a mission to save the world. His research does not normally involve fieldwork, and it certainly does not normally involve spending six months of the year at the university’s field station on a remote island in the North Atlantic, with only seals for company. But the solitude of the island and a chance encounter with a curious stranger bring a profound revelation.
A podfic written and read by Lostcauses.
