Hades Fanfiction
Supergiant's roguelike about Zagreus, prince of the Underworld, dying his way out of his father's house one escape attempt at a time. The game hands fanfic writers two canon romances — Zagreus with the brooding Thanatos, the radiant Megaera, or both — and a sprawling dysfunctional divine family in mid-reconciliation. Fic leans into polyamory negotiated with surprising sweetness, Patroclus and Achilles reunited in Elysium, and the slow thaw between Zagreus and Hades that the game's epilogue made canon.

Thanatos/Zagreus
Death Incarnate and the prince of the Underworld grew up together in the House of Hades, and Zagreus's escape attempts leave Thanatos hurt, confused, and challenging him to kill contests in Elysium. Supergiant made the romance fully canon, complete with a duet of gifted ambrosia and centuries of unspoken history. The ship pairs Than's weary gravity with Zag's relentless warmth.
