Summary
She shrieked in pain. A cry, high and keening, rang out from lips that should not have been his, a sound like the shattering of a lyre string, like the breaking of something too fragile to have ever been upon the field of war, so unlike Odysseus.
Yet it is Odysseus’ face that twisted in pain and for a heartbeat, Diomedes faltered. It is a cruel thing, to see that visage – beloved, cherished – contorted in agony, to hear a voice that has only screamed and moaned in pleasure into his ear now raised in a shriek of torment. His grip tightened around his shield, knuckles whitening as his mind battled against the illusion, against the deception that would undo him.
No. This is not Odysseus. This is Aphrodite.
(Or, Diomedes knows that none can see the Lady Aphrodite's true form, that she appears as one's most desired, adored and loved. Yet it still takes him aback entirely when she appears to him as Odysseus)

Summary
Alex feels his chest settle with something like resignation. This is it. This is the end. Despite it all, the warmth of Henry’s fingers wrapped in his own still his anxious heart. He didn’t know clasped palms could feel so easy, and so much like home.
Silence stretches out between them and Alex can feel how their breathing syncs up like a symphony, it’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever heard.
“Alex?” Henry’s voice is so quiet against the explosions around them. Alex can barely hear him, but he hums in response, to urge Henry on. From the corner of his eye, he can see Henry biting on his lower lip.
“Would it be terribly out of line, if I told you I love you? Because I do. I have. I always have.”
Silent tears are streaming down Alex’s face. He closes his eyes to try and catch them.
1. He loves me.
2. He loves me.
3. He loves me.—--
Or,After Henry kisses (and promptly ghosts) Alex on New Year’s Eve, Alex anxiously awaits a reunion. He has plans. But before he can express his feelings to Henry, the world suddenly begins to end.
