Descendants: The Underworld Prince by Bodineaf

Zagreus is an ignorant, stereotypical bad boy with an ideal of sexist remarks and has a strong sexual appetite for anyone he finds attractive. He is named Prince of the Underworld, and appointed the God of Hunt & Rebirth. However he's only lived in the Underworld for the first year of his life, before the Gods decided that it would be best if Hades and Zagreus were banished to the Isle of the Lost. Leaving his mother Persephone to run the Underworld as it's Queen while Zagreus and his father are on the Isle. Persephone worried for her son's wellbeing sent Pain and Panic to the Isle so they can take care of the young boy. As Zagreus grew up he never had a proper understanding of a stable home being passed around between, his father, and the imps. But when he is given a chance to live in the land of opportunity he takes it. Dispite the God's protest, and disapproval to the idea. (Descendants belongs to disney and the writers, I only own the dialogue I make for Zagreus and the other characters I make in this book.)

Even worse, his family detaches a babysitter for him, which just puts the cherry on the shite cake and sends Thanatos into rebellion.

In Shadows of Night by dstry0515

I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.

WARNING: This story will contain spoilers for the game Hades. Including the epilogue. Zagreus and Thanatos have been best friends for as long as they can remember. The prince of the underworld had gone through a lot of things in the past year after the discovery of his family's long drawn drama and various other problems that arose alongside it. However, the prince was not held back at all from showing affection to everyone as he always does, rebuilding the relationships that had faded away with age overtime, including his and Thanatos'. Recently after his mother Persephone returned to the underworld, he and Thanatos at last confessed their feelings to one another, leading to becoming what mortals and gods alike call it, lovers. Things are looking well, but there is something biting away at Zagreus' heart, wishing for more attention. After Zagreus is given the task to hand out invitations for the great underworld feast that will hopefully put a temporary end to all the lies and deceptions, Thanatos begins to feel different during his work after a certain incident, leading up to him searching for Zagreus every time he goes out of the House of Hades to spread the nine invitations or do his usual escape attempts. Will Thanatos be able to express himself clearly to Zagreus? What is Zagreus' desire that he so much longs to express in some way?

Holy | ✔ by aetherrx

She was the Holy One. He took her, though. Death. Death took her in so many ways. That's how Illiana came to meet Thanatos. Through Death. The centre of his being. And he'd be damned if she was taken away from him. She was his, and he was hers. Through both blood, and soul. ♛♛♛♛ The door clicked open, a silent scream leaved my watery lips. Thanatos stood there, his gaze roaming over my half naked body. "Get the fuck out!" I squeaked. Thanatos smirked, stepping forward, his hand going up to wrap around my throat, pushing me against the mirror. My breath hitched in my throat, quick breaths escaping my mouth. His nose ran down the side of my face, across my jaw, stopping at the side of my mouth. My mouth opened. Thanatos stepped back smirking at my flustered state, walking away in a cocky gait. I slammed the door, my face flushing in embarrassment. #1 Thanatos #1 Charon #1 Bonded #2 Hades ♛♛♛♛
