    Summary

    “Luke drew his new sword. He ran his thumb down the flat of the blade, as if he were hypnotised by its beauty. “Afterward, the Lord of the Titans … h-he punished me with nightmares. I swore not to fail again.”

     

     

    ____

    Lately, Luke’s been having these dreams.

    They’re different, somehow, to the typical kind of demigod dream he’s used to. If they were just visions of ruined temples or weeping oracles or images of Ladon as it slashed its talon down his face, he’d probably ignore them. Realistically, he wouldn’t even remember them after waking up.

    No — these are unique in a way Luke can’t quite quantify. They’re not like the nightmares he normally gets. They stay in his mind long after he wakes up, and they don’t stop, no matter which god he prays to or how much of his food he scrapes into the fire.

    Summary

    There’s nothing to put the body in, so Mogi and one of Near’s guys cover Light in their suits. Near doesn’t seem thrilled about it — he mutters something about it being too conspicuous and a disaster waiting to happen — but he doesn’t have a better plan, so they just decide to wait until Light’s arteries stop fountaining blood before putting him in the back of the car.

    “We’d planned to keep him alive,” Near’s woman — Lidner, Matsuda thinks her name is — murmurs. “else, we would’ve brought a bodybag.”

    Matsuda laughs at that, but nobody pays him any notice, which is a relief. A bodybag would be just as bad. At least this way they can all pretend Light is a pile of dry-cleaning; there’s no running from the reality of a lumpy, six-foot plastic bag of corpse.

    Summary

    “I’m dead,” deadpanned Qiqi from her casket, which Childe and Hu Tao had been forced to stuff with trinkets and flowers to hide the fact that it was designed for an adult man, not a small zombie. They’d had to repurpose the one Baizhu had used; there hadn’t been time for a whole new one. Also, Keqing had objected on the grounds of causing excess deforestation. "When can we get ice cream?"

    “I am going to walk away now,” Zhongli informed Childe serenely.

    or: Childe is determined to seduce Zhongli, even if that means he has to do it over a few dead bodies.

    Summary

    The first thing Percy noticed was that he was covered in blood, which, for him, was kind of par for the course.

    The second thing that he noticed was that he was twelve years old, which wouldn’t have been that weird either, except for the fact that he’d been sixteen a few minutes ago.

    Summary

    Posted by u/deusfunerarius • 9 hours ago

    AITA for lying to my potentially deicidal boyfriend about my identity?

    21.2k

    I, (6000, M for now) am a now-retired political and social leader in my surrounding area. Approximately 18 months ago, while working as a funeral parlour cultural consultant, I was introduced to a foreign diplomat (23M), whom I will call Gongzi, via my job. We became close companions, and he often gave me expensive gifts or paid for dinners which I would not have otherwise been able to budget. However, I did not make him aware of my status as a political leader, even when, approximately 9 months into our relationship, he asked to become my boyfriend, which I agreed to.
