#deimos my beloved and beloathed

[findusinaweek]

Deimos' sword can heal wielder's health? Could this grant immortality similar to the Staff, but with the sacrifice of repeated harming of others? Can you stretch that meager health healing to prevent aging? You'd have to consider aging something unhealthy, which I don't, but imagine the Eagler Bearer having to accept they aren't alone in the world, but their shitty younger sibling keeps killing to stay alive alongside them.

First Lines tag game

tagged by both @ainulindaelynn and @aeide. Thank you!

Also a bit confused but this tag seems to be for WIPs so here goes:

From Sunday Morning (Demosthenes/Alexios/Brasidas Restaurant AU that may or may not be a oneshot, I hate writing multi-chapters apparently, and as you all know, it has taken forever to write anything for this):

When Alexios awoke the other side of the bed was empty except for a rumpled blanket he must have tossed aside in his sleep. He looked around, confused for a moment where he was. Oh, he realized. Brasidas’ home. He stared at the pillow at his side, piecing memories of last night together. It’d been good. Unawkward for the first time together. It felt natural. He closed his eyes, smiling to himself. He hoped there would be a repeat, hopefully sooner than later. He liked Brasidas, liked working with him, liked spending time with him. And now, he thought somewhat smugly, he knew he liked being fucked by him. He groaned, snapping his eyes open and throwing himself into an upright position. Where was the man?

From Slide Back Into The Abyss:

Deimos wakes early to birdsong, groans and throws an arm over their eyes. Their body aches. It was not comfortable to sleep here, not like the cushioned bed they had grown accustomed to during their years with the cult. The hay pokes into their back and they stifle a sneeze. They would have liked to sleep longer, to pass time unconscious is the closest sensation to freedom they are allowed anymore.

tagging time. Uh. So tired. Most of my ACO buds, y’all got tagged already. @stressfulsloth, got anything going on? No pressure if you don’t feel up to this.
