the brains and the brawn; a hedone/hercules, lito fic.

[i_sing_anyway]

(AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is another in my series of "mythfics", to borrow the term from my darling etzyofi. In order to fully appreciate these, be sure to look at my Greek Gods in Modern Times casting picspams ( Part One, Part Two, and Part Three). I'm also including a "cast list" at the beginning of the fic just as a refresher as to who's playing who.)

D'aww, he's like a puppy dog sliding across a hardwood floor. *swoons*

Perfection has been reached yet again, darling!

THANK YOU, DARLING, and yes, that image is just about perfect for him, LOLOL.

Bah, he was adorable. So cute! I really liked this (:

But isn't $4.50 kind of steep for just black coffee? lol. I've frequented a lot of cafes, and the most I've paid for a cup of black coffee is $2 I think.

That was lovely!

I want to hear more about this pact all the gods and godesses made to live amongts mortals.

And I think it's time for some villain to come and mess things around. Y/Y?

Thank you, Nat!

I'm planning on some pretty big developments/flashbacks soon that will fully address the pact and World War II and everything -- in fact, I'm thinking about devoting this year's Nanowrimo to it!

In the last Dionysius/Ariadne piece I definitely had some villainous plotting and messing with Ares and Eris teaming up to make some trouble for everyone -- that'll come back pretty soon, I just wanted to do some more "fluffy" pieces in the meantime. :D

Pandora stuck her tongue out and left with a flounce.

SHE *FLOUNCED?* YOU DID NOT. xD

It was something she’d inherited from her mother, she was sure of it

I am disturbingly easy to please. HEE YEAH TALK ABOUT YOUR MUM SOME MORE, HEDONE.

“Do you have an eraser I could borrow? I’m always forgetting things.”

I am already in love. THAT TOOK LITERALLY TWO SENTENCES. Jesus.

“Oh, yeah, sorry,” he mumbled awkwardly, flushing with embarrassment. It was incredibly endearing; like seeing a bull made dopey by tranquilizers. “Sorry. I’ll stop bothering you.”

Most random/adorable metaphor award goes to...

“I like being single,” Hedone said defensively. “I’m an independent, intelligent, and perfectly capable woman who doesn’t need to define herself with her romantic attachments. And I like having my alone time.”

*facepalm* This, from the daughter of the God of Love.

“I’d accuse you of stalking me, if I didn’

AND THE AWARD FOR BEST COMMENT GOES TO... *OPENS ENVELOPE TO EXPECTANT SILENCE* LEAH! CONGRATULATIONS!

Seriously, though, this is exactly the sort of comment I ~live~ for. More people need to pick out favourite bits, so I know what's working!

THANK YOU, DARLING, I LOVE YOUUUUUU. ♥

OMG YOU OUTDID YOURSELF. HERCULES WAS ADORABLE. HEDONE WAS HILARIOUS. I. LOVE. PANDORA. OMGGGG
