    Summary

    It should be enough for Thanatos to pull himself away, to fall into the familiar repetition. Yet now he can’t cast the memories from his mind: the lightness of Zag’s grin amidst the swarming wretches, his fluid bend and curve, so much cleaner in motion than Thanatos had thought him capable of. How easily Zagreus stole from Death. The wide-eyed way Thanatos caught him staring back. The hunger of him.
    No, he can’t cast aside the flicker of life below the surface, rising, rising, then—
    Gone.
    Thanatos flashes into the House, to the balcony, before he knows what he’s doing. As though he’s no longer his own. He can feel the souls call and protest above but he ignores them, turning instead to the curling red of the Styx.
    He waits.

    «««««««« ─────── ·I· ─────── «««««««<

    A story following Zagreus and Thanatos as they learn to live a little.
    OR: zagreus knows a bit about rising and falling while attempting to escape, but when it comes to all things thanatos his idiocy level can only rise. thanatos is great at helping others pass on, but when it comes to talking with zagreus he may simply pass away. the rest of the underworld collectively rolls their eyes.

    Summary

    To the naked eye they look no different from ordinary trinkets, lucky charms perhaps, simple objects the dead often keep on them in the grave.

    Maybe they are. Maybe it’s Zagreus that makes them hold power.

    (concept: god's keepsakes and blessings change zagreus' appearance and behavior during an escape. thanatos takes notice.)

    Summary

    'Oh,' he thought, and instinct made him activate his other sight. Between one blink and the next, the world was bathed in a soft gray and everything unimportant disappeared from his sight.

    'Oh,' he thought again and his heart started beating even faster, his eyes wide open now.

    Malik was golden.

    If a person is blue, they are a friend. If they're red, then they're an enemy. But if they’re gold, then they’re important.

    Malik was golden. Malik was important.

    The moment his vision returned to normal, Malik turned his head towards him. His eyes sparkled in the sun and his smile grew.

    'Oh,' Altaïr thought a third time. His smile also grew. 'He is beautiful.'
