According to geological findings, each year the islands of Greece are sinking deeper into the sea… and will one day disappear.
Anon would like Greece + Japan
Where Greece has been hiding the fact that he is dying and won’t be around for as long as Japan will be.
NOT the anon who promised to do this. If you’re looking for something historically and/or geographically accurate, don’t hope to find it here. :D
There are also scene jumps and time jumps.

That which We Fear
The wind ruffles his hair. It smells of salt and sun-baked sand. Fine grains slowly bury his toes and it feels pleasantly tingly and warm. He wants to stay like this forever, but the sweet scent of honey cakes overwhelms him. Blindly, he pivots and crashes into his mother’s arms

Kiku blinks and watches the lovers again. She tears at her hair and grovels at the exorcist’s feet. His heart is torn between pity and duty.

“…what are you doing here?”
“In case ya didn’ know, I sent help. Y’could at least be grateful, y’little brat.”
Herakles sighs as Sadiq makes himself comfortable on the couch in his hospital room. The place is littered with flowers and well-wishes for the speedy recovery of his health. The earthquake had not been as devastating as the seismologists had predicted. It helped that not a lot of people were living by the shores anymore. They had been evacuated before worst of the quake hit them.
“How’s Santorini?”
“Screw Santorini, it’s you who’s the issue here

OP HERE!!!! AUTHOR ANON THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was... ;_;.. this is... this is exactly what I wanted. I can't even begin to describe how well done this is. I absolutely loved it. Beautiful, well thought out, clever, and ultimately an emotion-inspiring work, anon. I am so glad you picked this up. The whole way you used Greece's sleeping as the sea as a villainous personification. Just. Gorgeous. You captured both Japan and Greece perfectly in my opinion, and you just hit everything, and more.

This really was an absolutely beautiful piece, anon. The way everything flowed together; the memories and dreams, not to mention the interaction between them... Aaah, you’ve done an absolutely wonderful job with the prompt ♥
