    Summary

    On the surface, Heracles broods. When he’d said he couldn’t get enough of the gods, he hadn’t meant like this.

    Melinoë. His sister-in-arms, the thorn in his heel, naive and beautiful and the only person to best him this side of the afterlife.

    He should probably spend less time thinking about her, but ever since that first meeting she had traipsed around his mind like a particularly stubborn mule. Or - no, she was more elegant than that. But she had lingered, like a mist, like a curse.

    The City of Ephyra was not full of beautiful things, so Heracles of course had noticed the arrival of the Daughter of the House of Hades. She had lurched into the city, saffron silk dancing around her thighs, blonde hair falling neatly at her shoulders. She had brandished a staff, and been the first person to look at him with neither pity (the gods) nor dread (everyone else) in many moons.

    Obviously, none of this was going to end well. He’d looked at her, alight with power, and thought Well, this is the last thing I fucking need. Heracles had no need for coworkers, no need for goddesses, and no need for liabilities.

    A canon divergence AU, beginning with a very different first meeting.
