    Summary

    Front and centre, in a messy scrawly handwriting, were the words:

    TO ZANKA ♡♡♡

    Semiu, the receptionist, leaned over the counter as her eyes gleamed with a rare, unadulterated mischief. She examined the offering carefully.

    “Well,” she hummed, tapping a perfectly manicured nail against her chin. “That’s new.” She activated her choker, her voice dripping with syrupy delight:

    “Zanka Nijiku to the front desk, please. You have a… personal delivery.”

    In which, Zanka recieves quite a parcel from an unnamed individual containing homemade treats and... a ring?!

    Summary

    When Ann realizes their math teacher has spotted Akira nodding off in the desk behind hers, she braces herself for what's about to follow. Sure enough, the chalk flies past her and hits Akira smack in the forehead, knocks him awake, and sends a flurry of horrible nightmare syllables tumbling out of his mouth from the sheer surprise.

    The language of Shadows sounds sharp and strange in the mundane banality of the classroom. Ann schools her expression, and does her best to project an air of nope, nothing's wrong, nothing to see here, there's definitely no one speaking in horrible eldritch tongues, why would you even say that?

    -//-
    -//-

    In which Shadows have a language of their own, and the power of the Wild Card lets Akira speak it too.

    It's too bad it makes him sound like he's speaking in some kind of cursed, inhuman, monster tongue, but the rest of the Phantom Thieves get used to it.

    Eventually.

    Summary

    Leo Valdez has lived and died for the gods. Their war has shaped his life since he was a baby. With Gaia defeated, he sort of hopes he can finally rest. He has friends and some semblance of home to return to for the first time since he was eight years old. Just this once, he allows himself to hope the good things might stick.

    But the gods aren’t done with them just yet, and by the time Leo finds his way back, Jason is gone.

    This time, Leo decides he’s done just taking the Fates’ bullshit lying down. If getting his best friend back means striking a deal with the gods and venturing into the Underworld… well, it’s probably not even the most reckless thing he’s ever done.

    The caveat of said deal? He has to trust Jason will follow him, or his self-doubt will doom them both.

    And after the life he’s lived, Leo is so intricately familiar with self-doubt that he could probably trademark the word.

    Or: The only possible way for Orpheus to succeed is if he learns to think of himself as a person worth loving.
