Summary
“I think you’re far stronger than I am, Pat. If things had gone as Lord Hades and the Fates had planned and I was here in Elysium and you in Asphodel, I think once I realized you weren’t here, I would have drunk my fill of the Lethe. I wouldn’t have lasted a day or night.”
He does not want to know who he would have become without Patroclus’s voice in his head urging him to take the wiser path. No better than the exalted Zagreus fights, mindless, wanting for nothing but violence. He was accused of that while living, of loving war and killing more than any other man, of having a homicidal heart. If not for Patroclus, perhaps those words would ring true, and he would not know better to know the shame of it.

Summary
Crying was all that Achilles could hear throughout the House of Hades. It had been going on for what seemed to be hours, with no clear sign of stopping. Achilles could even hear the crying from across the house to the hallway where he guards. It only got louder in the lounge area with all the shades suffered.
Everyone knew where the crying was coming from of course. The only other room besides the lounge in that hallway just so happened to be the Young Master Zagreus’ room. Everyone besides Hades himself and Nyx were forbidden from entering, lest they face some sort of punishment. So the shades were forced to wait until Nyx calmed the child down.
--------
Or Achilles is basically Zagreus's dad, and has to deal with trying to help raise him with little to no experience with children.

Summary
Zagreus, prince and young knight of his mother Queen Persephone, was not sure of much, except that he would probably die and that this was, at least partly, his own fault. But a promise was made, and he ventured out to meet the strange Green Knight again, into a realm without sunlight…

Or: A retelling of the medieval poem “Sir Gawain and The Green Knight” (dated circa 1390) with the characters of Hades COMBINED with the story of a game in a twisty way.
Q: Do I have to know anything about the medieval poem?
A: ~No~

Summary
Closer to him now, Patroclus is suddenly met with the sweetest scent. He hadn’t noticed it inside when they were surrounded by so many people, and the smell of alcohol, but he notices it now. Rose petals and warm, sweet honey. With the faintest hint of citrus beneath it all. Patroclus had never taken in a scent so pleasant before, and that was saying something because Briseis liked to douse herself in perfume all the time. But this is different, this feels like… home.
When Patroclus tags along to a party hosted by a well-known band, he doesn't expect to actually hit it off with the lead singer, Achilles. They inevitably grow closer, quickly falling for each other but they’re both too afraid to make the first move. That is until they suddenly can’t deny their feelings any longer.

Summary
Patroclus watches as Zagreus dances across the feild with Varatha and for a second he can't breathe. For a second the double image is imposed of his lover in the feilds of Troy. The spear is even the same.

Summary
Recently had some time in a quiet place to record again. Hades game has been my recent obsession so here you go!
Original Summary: Hypnos discovers a pretty big breach in security when Patroclus somehow washes up in the pool of Styx. Basically Patroclus ends up at the house, him and Hypnos talk, and it inevitably turns into them banging in the empty hall by Achilles.

Summary
Hermes darted down on impulse.
“Wait! I think I can help you out,” he offered, stopping just before the apparition.
This wasn't any different than helping a stranded shepherd or traveler, right? He answered their prayers all the time. This was just another lost soul, literally. He wasn’t infringing any boundaries by doing this. Probably.

Achilles and Megaera are sparring, until they aren’t, instead on a bed while Megaera’s hands snake down to Achilles groin.
Absolutely shameless porn.

Summary
“I have come to ask for your help.”
“Oh.” Aphrodite accepts this news as if it is delicious, her lips puckering in satisfaction, her gaze moving to his chest with a knowing eye. “Yes, I see. That does look painful. And have you come to ask for me to woo the object of your desire for you?”
“No.”
“I didn’t expect so.”
Already he can feel the pull of the Underworld on him. He doesn’t care. He will stay here until he dies if he has to. Following Zagreus’s example, it’s easy enough. He pushes the pain down, and does not allow himself to tremble.
“I want you to take it away.”

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
“Pleased to meet you, Zagreus,” he says politely as Zagreus shakes his hand. The action seems to be perfunctory—Achilles is reserved in a way Zagreus cannot quite place.
“I look forward to training with you,” he says anyway, because it is true. If his father has employed Achilles to train him, it is likely because Achilles is the best.
-
Or; Patroclus is a werewolf separated from Achilles in a hunting accident. Soon after, Zagreus becomes Achilles's new protégée (forcibly). Once he's trained, he'll go on his first hunting assignment. Anything is better than administration, right?

Summary
“The lingering depression follows him into the glass shower as he watches yet another person’s blood spill down the drain, the water eventually becoming clear. The luxurious bathroom is full of light, yet he might as well be standing in pitch darkness.
Is this really how things are going to be for the rest of his life?”
The sinful glitter of bright city lights and a high-action lifestyle is losing its allure for a quietly resentful Achilles. So when he meets a defensive, gorgeous man who looks completely out of place amongst it all, he finds himself intrigued by the mystery- and soon the heart- behind the façade.

Summary
“Zagreus,” Thanatos muttered, a low and lonesome sound. “What is it that you need from me?”
“Sleep,” came the choked reply. “Please. Whatever you must do. Anything to get me to sleep.”
Or: Zagreus traverses the Underworld in endless cycles, unable to find any rest; though he grows stronger each time that he perishes, his body refuses to let him sleep. For this, he seeks a begrudging Thanatos, who becomes his only respite.
{ Inspired by the response given by interacting with Zagreus' bed in his chambers - "can't sleep". A slow-burn, Thanatos-centric character exploration/coming-together story. }

Summary
Was it Shakespeare that said Hell is other people? No… it was someone else, some French guy. Camus? Sartre? Achilles had seen somewhere else, on some cheesy Netflix show perhaps, that said Hell is an empty room. He had to agree.

Summary
Achilles barely reads the contract before he signs it.
He feels nothing as he is given the sigil representing that he is a servant of the House, a standard spear, and is made to stand guard in the west wing.
He can barely see what’s in front of him and he realises that he is crying. He didn’t know shades could cry.
He is safe. He is where he deserves to be. He doesn’t know whom he is referring to. Days—weeks?—pass, and Achilles does not know. He stands at his position, has to remind himself over and over to bow to anyone who approaches or passes by him.
You are not a prince anymore. You are a servant under this House. You are nothing.
He is safe now.
Safe from you.Series

Summary
Time is different in the Underworld, he thinks. He has no estimation of how long it has been— more than a few months, of that he is sure. Yet, in all this time, the scenery has not changed one bit. It is perpetually morning, or what comes closest to it with the absence of a sun. Patroclus gives up counting all the blades of grass and looks over to the Lethe, once more resists Her pull.
Where is Achilles?
