The Hades writing brainworms continue.

Brainworms, unlike brainweasels, result in good things. And are contagious. The more time you spend around other writers, the more of them you get, and the more you yourself must write.

Anyhow! More Hades!

Summary:

The quest is over, the Queen returned, and all is right in Hell. Zagreus has his job, endlessly fighting up to the surface, and Thanatos has his, reaping the souls of the dead.

Yet in an idle conversation, Zagreus reveals that he still feels trapped, and is only making the best he can of the situation he's stuck in. Thanatos, wanting to make his dearest love happy, resolves to find a way, somehow, for Zagreus to truly escape Hell at last. Even if it costs him everything, including Zagreus himself.
