    Summary

    when isaac is alone he can't stop the waking dreams.

    there was a point when he was used to them. little things would stir them up - women screaming, the turning over of an engine, the tight quarters of a small room. the world was full of landmines, and isaac learned to watch his step. now there are new bombs, new reminders.

    a woman's laugh, long dark hair, specific shades of pink.

    isaac hadn't been in love with allison. they kissed, and they talked, and she would touch him and he would explore her - but it wasn't the kind of love in fairy tales. it was a mutual appreciation, two people who had lost things and found each other, unsure of what they wanted but taking what they could for the moment. he never thought she'd be lost, too.

    he slips back into bed, shakes the crumbs from the end of his duvet, and goes back to sleep.

    it's easier to have nightmares when you're asleep.

    Summary

    “Shut up.” Jack keeps smiling, though his eyes are sharp. “You ever hear that story about the snake? You knew what I was when you let me in. Don't tell me you're not a ruthless little fucker that betrayed people. I got some fun memories uploaded in here and I'm pretty sure you didn't get Atlas by baking cookies and asking people to vote for you for homecoming queen.”

    Summary

    “How’s it going, Atlas?”

    Better, Rhys doesn’t say. After hours aside, this is still intergalactic chess.

    “What do you want, Jack?”

    In which two long-standing rivals finally come to an accord.

    > are you handsome jack?
    > no duh.

    Two years, Rhys thinks, is long enough that it won't be crazy awkward.

    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.
