074: choking in his bed sheets? :)

*quotes*

→ He could feel it in his bones, in the longing to be alive that clung to every inch of his spirit.

→ Aphrodite, on the other hand, had other concerns. Anguished thoughts that came through the cracks in the walls of their cells.
- It’s dark in here. I can’t see my face.

→ Deathmask wished again he could muster his old strength; he would break down the wall and shut up Aphrodite for good.

I adored this ficlet. ♥

075: Awwww, Ria. :(

I so love Death Mask. And poor Dite...if only DM could reach him.

Now, my Kitten...sniff...

Ah, yes. If only DM could reach Aphro. Then the fishy guy would be happy for the darkness that would cover aaaaall the bruises and maybe even the broken nose :P

Sooo I'll be over here, squealing because damn, these are good!

#74 caught my interest with "He was no more powerful here than any child that found his death choking in his bed sheets at night." From then on it was pure WIN. Not that the rest wasn't great too, but those last lines... Aphrodite's desperation at something that is so trivial in such a situation but that to him is true hell, and DM... It's different to see someone like DM in a "vulnerable" position so to read that line... Wow. Just great. Another addition to my (long) list of favorites.

#75 is exactly what I mean. A powerful story in mere 40 words. Allow me to fangirl because OMGKITTENANGST!
