Hades may be secretive but he ain’t no transphobe

[cosmicourple]

in my latest T.F.P/R.I.D2015 A.U, when I say that O.P avoids all the contact they can w/ other cybertronians + Cybertron, I actually mean almost. While running around in space, helpless on what to do with the situation he’s currently in AKA rapidly developing baby cooking in their chest, O.P had the GREATEST luck of all to be able to make some friends/acquaintances w/ various spaceship crews & either solo or smallish groups of travellers. Said groups were obvs very wary &/or hostile towards Optimus/Orion at first, but most of them quickly put their varying opinions of the so-called ‘heroic’ war legend aside when it was discovered that lil’ old Op’ was sparked. And great Solus and all things forged, THE MECH’S ALL ALONE AND SPARKED!?!??????!!!!!!???? WITH NO THOUGHT OR IDEA ON WHAT THEIR GOING TO DO ONCE THEY GO INTO LABOUR IN THE [MIDDLE OF NOWHERE SPACE WITH ALSO NO SIRE TO HELP AND NO EXPERIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO BIRTH APART FROM RETURNING INSTINCTS!!!!!!??!!?!!??!!????!??????!!!!!!!]

Ye, the whole situation of O.P’s acquaintance with these mecha is very much somewhat comforting &/or sweet but still a very complicated, ball of yarn-type mess lmao

Summary: Zagreus gets a little sister

-

All is quiet in the House of Hades. You would never guess that it has been pure chaos for the past day or night. Persephone was in labor for hours, and her screams carried through the house and so distressed Cerberus that he moved from his usual spot to claw at the door to her chambers. Zagreus stopped him from breaking through the wall, but he remained outside the door and howled in sympathy with his mistress. In the main hall, Orpheus picked at his lyre as he composed a song to celebrate the birth of the new god, although he complained at that it was difficult when he didn’t yet know the name of his song’s subject. Nyx and Dusa were busy helping with the delivery, and Hades put all operations on pause and shut the front doors so that he could be with his wife through the birth. The line of shades outside stretched on even further than usual, and Achilles had been temporarily reassigned to assist Hypnos in managing them. All Zagreus could do was run around distracting everyone from their duties, accomplishing nothing and feeling completely useless.

After what felt like a lifetime, the screaming stopped, and Zagreus caught the tiny cry of a newborn baby. He hurried into Hades and Persephone’s chambers, expecting to see his mother peacefully nursing the baby—only to find her weeping, clutching Hades’ hand and staring at the ceiling, too terrified to look at her newborn daughter in case what happened last time should happen again. Nyx and Dusa washed the child and looked her over, counted her fingers and her tiny, fiery toes, and told Persephone that the baby was healthy and her feet still burned bright. Finally, after several such assurances, Persephone turned to look at the child crying in Nyx’s arms, and her tears turned to tears of joy. She reached for baby Melinoë, and beamed as she nursed her, too exhausted to speak.

Then Orpheus decided to debut his new song, and Melinoë must not have liked it, because she started crying and would not stop, not even when Orpheus switched to a calming lullaby, nor when he stopped playing altogether. Everyone was so frazzled from the excitement that it took far longer than it should have for anyone to think of enlisting Hypnos’s help to calm the baby. She fell asleep instantly in his arms. And then Persephone could finally rest. Dusa cleaned the room around her until Hades ordered her to leave, and forbade anyone but Nyx from entering their chambers to disturb her slumber.

And now all is quiet. Cerberus, reassured that his mistress is out of danger, naps in the western hall, his enormous paws twitching as two of his three heads gently snore. The front gate is still locked, and no shades mill around in the main hall. Achilles is outside keeping them in line, Dusa is cleaning somewhere unseen, and Orpheus rewrites his lyrics in silence. Nyx stands outside the lounge, leaving Hypnos inside with Melinoë as a show of trust, but unwilling to stray too far. She offers Zagreus a tired, but warm, smile as he passes.

Hypnos is dozing in the corner, still holding little Melinoë. Zagreus frowns and carefully takes her from him, lest he should drop her in his sleep. Hypnos doesn’t wake, but Melinoë stirs.

This is the first time Zagreus has held his sister.

He now has a sister.

For one of only a handful of times in his life, Zagreus needs to sit down. It hasn’t sunk in until now. He stares as Melinoë blinks awake, scrunching up her tiny face at him. She has her mother’s flaxen hair, and her eyes are like Zagreus’s, one green, one red. Under the fire-resistant wrappings, he knows her feet burn like his, too. He holds his breath and waits to see if she will start crying again, but she only looks at him and wriggles a bit to get comfortable. “Hello,” he says quietly. “Welcome to the underworld, Mel. Can I call you Mel?” She doesn’t answer, of course, but Zagreus decides she won’t mind. “I’m your big brother, Zag.”

His voice catches. He can’t say he grew up without siblings, exactly, but most of Nyx’s children were always so busy with their work that Zagreus rarely saw them. And they all answered to Hades, who was determined to make Zagreus’s life as difficult as possible for reasons he had not understood for a long time. He grew up without anyone to talk to who was like him, caught between two worlds. Without anyone who understood that constant feeling that he didn’t belong.

Melinoë will never have to feel that way. It will make a world of difference just having Persephone here. She missed her son’s childhood, and will cherish Melinoë as she would have cherished Zagreus. Nyx already promised to act as a second mother to the child, and though Hades is not forthcoming with his emotions, Zagreus knows he wants to be a better father this time around. Melinoë will have the love and support of three parental figures. And, of course, she'll have Zagreus, who will do everything in his power to make sure she never has to go through what he did. She'll never have to be alone, if Zagreus has anything to say about it.

Melinoë turns slightly and closes her eyes again. In another instant, she is soundly asleep. Zagreus brushes a careful kiss to her forehead. “You’re going to be so happy here, little sister,” he promises in a whisper. “You’ll have a charmed life. I’ll make sure of it.”

closed starter for zagreus!! ( @irresistiibles )

this wasn't possible, there should be no way he was here. he couldn't survive on the surface, neither of them could without magical intervention. and ignoring that, chronos had held him captive for decades now, there was no way the titan would simply free her brother after her assault on him. he had to be in the titan's thrall, there was no other explanation. her staff is immediately in her hands, and pointed at the man she'd only ever seen in a painting. "are you here to stop me?"

event starter: syrena cordella & zagreus & thanatos @irresistiibles

syrena hadn't expected to see zagreus with thanatos. wasn't even aware that they'd known each other. not that she'd made any moves on either of the two but she'd be lying if she said a small part of her wasn't a little disheartened. "you sure look good." syrena commented to zagreus after walking up to the two. used to zag in his gym attire. then to than she wasn't surprised to see them dressed up. "and i should've known you would've turned this place out."

@ofmimicry asked: ❛  no, it’s nothing wrong with me.  ❜ (megaera to zagreus )

"i believe you." zagreus reassured quickly, even though it wasn't true. it wasn't like he actively tried to piss meg off, even though he accepted when it was inevitable. he was happy to see her though, and starting a fight wasn't the goal. "i'm just checking...do you know who i am?" because if not something definitely was wrong, regardless of what she said.

[nazorneku]

HYPNOS ( @destisea ) INQUIRED OF THANATOS: " thanatos!! " hypnos exclaims in surprise. he hasn't been dozing for once, and there wasn't a single shade in line waiting. hm.. " i didn't see you arrive- are you looking for zagreus? because you juuuust missed him haha! " / his brother couldn't possibly be coming to see him! impossible!!

The Death's approach was stealthy and whist, particularly fashioned to the method with which he appeared in front of the mortals to avoid begetting superfluous trepidation. An abundance of work due to the rekindled war on the surface kept him occupied and away from the House of Hades and its inhabitants, nevertheless when an opportunity did present itself, Thanatos anew walked along the halls of the familiar residence. Albeit attempts to proceed elusive, a cacophonous exclamation reached his hearing, compelling to alter posture and extend own attention towards its source. Exceedingly expectant was to be located by Hypnos first, the one who greeted visitors to that abode, his younger twin as well. "I have an appointment with Lord Hades, thus I arrived in advance." In a rather aloof and professional manner, the response followed, brows furrowed slightly at the brother's insinuation. There were other people within the premises of the house he would opt to visit, those who weren't in such a hurry to abandon its hearth. Despite the habitual pattern to occupy the area near the balcony, he remained beside the other, awaiting permission to approach the Lord of the Underworld, additionally indulging the god of the sleep with a remark on the person he mentioned afore.

"As for Zagreus—" At leisure hands rested across his chest, with a minor tilt of own head the glowing golden gaze was directed at the crimson pool of river Styx, its surface trembled with ripples in anticipation. A pause betwixt his words lingered, yet soon the continuation followed. "Considering how things are at the moment, I'm sure he will appear soon enough." With a precise jab and effortlessly veiled allusion to a current lack in the mentioned man's martial expertise, Thanatos concluded. There would be no vocal confirmation of his complicity in the prince's escape attempts, with most of them of no avail even still.

Thinking about how Hades II parallels and how it flips a lot of things so far from the first game. You know how Zagreus is polite and charming guy who by virtue of said politeness and good character makes a lot of friends right? What if Melinoe was the opposite. 

What she makes up for in dedication she completely lack in charm or grace. She has no sense of humor (all jokes with her are due to her being so serious she becomes unintentionally hilarious). She makes no effort to make friends (all about the task after all) but somehow does by accident cause she’s surrounded by a good number of relatively similar and/or unhinged individuals (hey Moros, Doom Incarnate, whom Thanatos refuses to talk to). She is unintentionally (and maybe sometimes intentionally) rude and alienates others whom Zagreus would have normally gotten along famously easily. She is nice and lets her guard down only around Froggy, whom she’s got a special name for and all but No One Must Know. She is an awkward fuck who says the dumbest things so seriously that it’s just, pure comedy.

[OOC: Because the last couple beats for "Interrupting Paradise" are kind of quick, I want to have everything done before I start posting; so, if you're wondering why I haven't answered your ask yet or what happened - I'm drawin'! Don't worry! Please keep on sending in asks, though, and I'll have Codex entries up for the two OCs that starred in this little mini-arc soon after (hopefully) the conclusion is up.]

im absolutely floored by the amount of stuff already in hades 2 and how good it all is

[tragcdysewn]

@irresistiibles asked: let's start a bar fight (zagreus and thanatos)

"a bar fight, zag?" gold eyes flickered in amusement, because it was such an odd suggestion, but so in character for zagreus that they can't really be shocked. "do you really want to slaughter a bunch of mortals coming at you with broken glass?" they'd go along with it, it didn't sound all that bad, but they were invulnerable, and couldn't be injured by such means where zagreus could.

syrena cordella & zagreus @irresistiibles

syrena had been in the gym for quite some time that morning. still not being able to get through to her sister kept her frustrated and annoyed. her hands pounding into the punching bag as the familiar face walked in. they decided to take a break, seeing as there was familiar company in the room now, going to grab their water bottle. "you're late."
