    Summary

    "Tell me how this is gonna help again?" Orpheus mumbled, staring at the tree in front of him.
    "My boy, you can't wash dishes and clean tables for the rest of your life. You need to live, meet people who are like you," Hermes said kindly, patting Orpheus on the back. The forest around him felt mildly haunting.
    ~OR~

    Summary

    Orpheus had always found the best in the darkness of the world, but now even he turned his back on hope. Eurydice was gone, he’d left her behind to forget in the pit of a sweatshop, and Orpheus opened his eyes. He saw that the world was brutal and always had been; Eurydice had known this, but he’d ignored her in favour of dreaming. And he thought it was only fair to suffer for his sins, that the poet who’d abandoned his muse should face his poetic justice.

    Summary

    “Ball!” But it’s too late, and a soccer ball files from the green grass, bashing into his face. He groans, a crack emitting from the impact, and blood seeps out onto his hands. A young girl runs up to him, pushing her bangs out of her face. She stays back, eyes widened and body stock still. He looks up at her, eyes softening at the sight of her.

    She reminds him of a song, one Mister Hermes taught him, long ago.

    It's a love song.

    Summary

    He looked towards the fridge now, hand resting atop his stomach. It still groaned with hunger, though it also worked down the food inside him. His stomach still felt so flat too. He had stuffed himself before, and was familiar with the small curve his gut would get when full. He wasn't at that point yet, and he still had so much room. Maybe he could stomach just a few more things…

    Summary

    (starts off orpheus-centric.) eurydice's a girl who's running from a train, orpheus is a boy who can't wait to just get away.

    (orpheus writes poems, but that ain't what this story's about.)

    hadestown equals blood plus nails, and she ain't goin' back no time soon.

    (more modern-ish, western-ish, all of the -ish-es.)

    Summary

    He spent the entire trip going over what little he’d been told, again and again. There had been an incident. Orpheus had been bullied. And another lad had (rightfully, the vicious, protective animal of his brain cried out!) punched the bully in question. He’d dealt with much the same mockery as a child–of course he had!

     

    When two boys become fast friends, their fathers are tossed together by circumstances.

    They stay together by choice.
