Summary
It's the beginning of freshman year of Zag's second attempt at a college career, and this time he's determined not to fail out and incur the wrath and disappointment of his father.
He's going to need to work hard and stay focused, but there's one major distraction sending him off-track during his morning history lecture. That would be his professor, who just so happens to be the hot guy who's a regular customer at Athena's bookshop, where Zagreus works.
But god, what a distraction.

Summary
There's this muse, Eurydice. She's beautiful. She laughs like coming home; she sings like a song you've always known without knowing. If you ask the right person the right way and pay exactly the right price, you'll be able to bring her home.
Your uncle taught you that.
"How did you even get past Charon?" Thanatos asks. He isn't looking at you anymore.
"I paid him," you say.

Summary
Hades worries that his son's training isn't going as far as it should. Zagreus worries of what it'll be like to die for the first time. Achilles worries of what it'll feel like to kill with his spear after so long.
or
Achilles gives Zagreus his first experience with death. But tenderly.********
"Achilles knows that death isn't particularly meaningful around these parts. It's nothing but a homecoming here. It's not surprising that it's expected as part of the prince's training. During their first meeting, Hades had explained to Achilles how Zagreus, unlike most gods, could die, but that he'd come right back to life, so there was no need to go easy on him. Even then, driven mad and half feral from grief, Achilles had been in no rush to find out the details of such a death. Even less now that he's grown fond of his prince. "

Perhaps this isn't so bad. Perhaps you can stay in her sweet embrace forever. Wouldn’t that be nice?
