    Summary

    A decision is made before even the first word is spoken.

    At least, that is what Mel had always believed-- still does believe, if pressed by neutral parties. But this last one, she must admit, is testing that stance.

    (Or: Mel chooses to cultivate Viktor instead of Jayce and has both regrets and a headache)

    Summary

    Zagreus always made stepping from the Styx look painless and elegant, what with the way he shook its blood-red waters from his hair as he strolled through an unending rain of snow-white flower petals.
    Hypnos figured that practice must have made perfect as he clumsily clawed his way from its depths, weighed down by both his own Styx soaked cloak and a general inability to get his trembling legs to hold his weight.

    OR

    In the Iilad, Hera has Hypnos put Zeus to sleep so she can go cause havoc. In the original myth, Hypnos escaped Zeus's wrath by fleeing to his mother, Nyx, for saftey. Zeus immediately backed down, unwilling to fight against the night.

    In Hades, Hypnos wouldn't have that option.

    Summary

    Link is a failure.

    It’s something he’s always known, he thinks, deep down within himself. A heavy feeling it is: failure. It seeps in through his nose, clogging his throat and making it impossible to breathe, swirling around his temples and bringing a constant ache, settling into his stomach with a weight that brings him to his knees. It loops around his arms, his fingers, holding him in its clutches until he can do nothing but succumb.

    Here, in this space between light and dark, this pocket of in between realities, he succumbs. He falls, down and down and down, plummeting to a dark sea. Black and red. Blood and deep, deep water. But Link does not sink. No, he walks. That feeling, horrible and domineering, pulls him like a puppet along the raging sea.

     

    In which the Chain meets after the events of Tears of the Kingdom and Sky is the last to join. It takes time for trust to be earned, especially with added confusion regarding the Goddess and timelines.

    You know the drill.

    Summary

    The presence felt suffocating, like an otherworldly creature was smothering him with their existence alone. His companions choked on the air, falling to their knees as he just barely managed to kneel.
    Something within the light reached out, if his sight was not a blur, he could almost make out the shape of a hand. The ringing, like a screaming choir in his head, raised to a deafening song. A heated, heavy pressure laid against his head, erasing the existence of thought, as his mind was blanketed in white.
    Then, like a slice in the air, everything went black.
    -----
    Sky killed a God, locked him away forever. What does he get out of that? A reoccurring headache and another unwanted journey.
