Okay, I know I was talking about playful Calypso teasing Thanatos but I scrolled past this bit and had to share it instead. Forgive me.
He presses his handprint to the sea floor, shivering at the cold and latent power hidden there. Few can dive deep enough for this and there is a sort of power in the untouched. To make him smile, she presses her hand beside his, their others still linked.
It takes just a drop of divinity to preserve the imprints.
Is that not the sweetest? It totally snuck up on me. When she isn’t teasing him, Thanatos is making her a soft pile of mush and it’s amazing.
It snuck up on me right now too, and you dropping this gorgeous, soft snippet on me is already making this morning much, much better 🥰
Did she... did she sneak him down deep into her domain?? And Calypso thinking "to make him smile", that's making me a soft pile of mush too! I was smiling so wide throughout all of this, and there at the end 'to preserve the imprints', you came into this this morning with this excerpt and took my heart omg
Nikky, you wonderful writer, I was already deeply invested before, now that you've shown me this side of my favorite goddess it's not going to leave my head anytime soon. That whole image!! I'm going to be staring at this for a while now, won't I?
