    Summary

    Patty Lowell was ready for war.

    She’d arrived with a bucket, a paint bucket, a full retinue of sponges, a mop, three different types of brooms, a bandolier of cleaning solutions, and a vacuum slung over her shoulder like a flamethrower.

    “Nice try, Dante,” she said. “I’m here and I’m ready -- and you’d better have an explanation for why you didn’t come to my birthday party!”

    The Dante she finds is...a little different.

    Summary

    Some days, Vergil thought he should have let himself fall into Hell.

    He had caught Dante’s hand by reflex, against his better judgement, against his pride. But once his brother held on, it had turned impossible to let go. The humiliation of defeat had tightened his chest with every step of their way back to the human world, filling the silence between them, burning away any words they had left. It stayed with Vergil long after he’d vanished, leaving Dante and the scorching memories behind.

    None of it compared to the utter hopelessness of watching a three-year-old child throw a tantrum on the floor while wearing pants stained from his diarrhea. And not just any three year old, his.

    ---
    An alternate universe in which Vergil survives DMC3, only to discover a few years later that he has a son to take care of.

    Summary

    “And often, our dreams are manifestations of a deeper anxiety. Are you afraid of dying, Ahsoka?”
    .
    “Sometimes bad dreams are just bad dreams, but bad dreams can do bad things to good people.”
    .
    “Do you ever dream, Master?” She asks hesitantly, tangling her hand in their bond in an attempt to monitor every small fluctuation in Obi-Wan’s emotions. She can learn from this.

    Except Obi-Wan doesn’t hide from her. Bleak amusement, stitched together with some sort of dark misery, filters through to her. “Ahsoka, my dear, everybody dreams.” Obi-Wan’s voice is flat. “It’s simply a matter of who remembers.”

    Summary

    In most tellings and retellings, Apollo is not conscious while Zeus rips the divinity from his very essence.

    But in this story, in this reality, Zeus wanted Apollo to suffer, wanted him to feel as he became weaker and weaker. It was a part of the punishment before it even truly began.

    In most tellings, Apollo cannot resist. In this one, he does.

    ~~~~

    Shattered shards of twisted divinity embedded in the soul of a once-god do not leave their host as he used to be. Aka I needed an excuse to write something eldritch, so here it is.
