  2. Summary

    With the Greeks, resurrection is left to the kids, where the gods can turn a blind eye, or they when involve the dearly departed becoming gods, however minor, themselves.

    The Egyptian Gods are a whole other mess for that matter, barging into whole other pantheons (they’re very good at making friends), and avoiding the whole matter of death entirely. (Most of the time, at least)

    However, the Norse prefer to be slightly more involved in post mortem affairs, especially when there’s a possibility for a bit of friendly Duels-to-the-Death (Now on Tuesdays!).

    Summary

    “Your birthright?” said Tedros sympathetically. “Yeah. Mine too. But you’re illegitimate, and I’m Evil, so they had a little competition to pick which of us should sit on the throne-- even though in ordinary circumstances, neither of us would have been allowed to. And I don’t know whether you remember, but you surrendered when you realised you had no claim.”
    “I wish I hadn’t.” 
    “A shame, because it was the most noble thing you’ve ever done.” 
    --
    sequel oneshot to 'the otherness came', set six months after. agatha, rhian and tedros grapple with the aftermath.

    Summary

    His father’s spirit seems to finally be at peace, because he’s seen neither hide nor hair of him; no cryptic messages, no confusing dreams of statues and unburying, no more tasks or falling scrolls. A job well done, for the Once and Future King. He’s secured Tedros back on the throne. He can pat himself on the back and bobby off to the afterlife. 

    Smug git. Tedros is annoyed he didn’t give him a piece of his mind, when he met his spirit. At the time, he’d been so relieved he was getting some help, he’d not even thought to be angry. Now he’d sooner tell him to shove his Trial of Kings up his arsehole. But he can’t, because he’s dead, and permanently dead, at that.

    post otk, tedros has rather a lot of things to sort through

    Summary

    The Royal Palace of Jaunt Jolie was like being inside a giant fondant fancy, if the giant fondant fancy was in the oven, and everyone was in the oven, and the oven was in the desert, in direct sunlight.
    And the fondant fancy sang.
    That was to say, it was a godforsaken nightmare.
    --
    agatha and beatrix go on a diplomatic trip to jaunt jolie. it sucks. that's the long and short of it.
    (something of a sequel to soldier on, achilles, and idle worship. but honestly these are kind of all just one big narrative at this point)

    Summary

    “I’d have to ask--” Tedros grabbed hopefully for her hand and Agatha reluctantly let him take it. His hands were extremely clammy. Like a squid. “If you would do me the honour of er…” he squinted. “Something about letting me… pay you respects?”
    “Like I’m dead?” scoffed Agatha.
    “I didn’t memorise it.” Tedros mumbled, partially to himself. “I thought you’d think it was dumb…”
    --
    there is a procedure to courting the future queen of camelot. unfortunately, tedros accidentally skipped most of it.
    (agatha didn't even know there was one in the first place)
