(Light spoilers for Hades ahead! If you haven't played it already, get on it, it's one of my favourite games of all time.)

"Worthless boy."
These were the last words Zagreus heard his father speak before the god's trident pierced his chest. Pain erupted through him, and he felt the now-familiar pull of the reincarnation pool already spreading beneath him. He had been close - so close! - but at the final hurdle he had fallen again.
Once his corporeal form had been reconstituted from the waters of the Underworld, he staggered from the pool and made his way through the House. His father was, of course, sat at the great desk across which he had decided the fates of a thousand thousand ghosts, but Hades barely looked up as his son walked past. It irked him, that being pounded into dust seemed the only way the two could communicate; didn't Father know he wanted to talk? But any attempts to initiate conversation with him had reliably turned out to be about as effective as an ice candle-holder.
Zagreus made his way to the west wing. To his disappointment Thanatos was nowhere to be found; merely the ever-talkative Achilles, who for once seemed as though he was holding something back. Zagreus probed him, but the spirit refused to divulge Than's location.
Quietly upset, the demigod crossed the Great Hall and swung by the Lounge, hoping for the charming presence of a particular Fury. But she wasn't there either, and Zagreus had to settle for exchanging some nectar with the taciturn Head Chef.
Nyx inclined her head as he walked past, but offered no conversation. Nor was Zagreus in the mood for any - if he couldn't speak to either of his immortals, he wanted nothing more than to be back in the throes of combat, where the only thought which occupied his head was satisfaction.
He rounded the corner to his room, and stopped dead. There was Meg, whip in hand, her stance more coquettish than he'd ever seen before. And, beside her, the usually grim Thanatos had a smirk playing on his thin lips.
Shit.
"Zagreus~!" Megaera cooed, her voice as sickly sweet as honey. "Why are you so surprised? You don't have any doors."
"Meg! Than! What are you two..." Then he registered that the two seemed more amused than upset. "Oh... uh..."
"You give us too little credit, Zag," Meg continued. "We've known each other for longer than you've been alive."
"I'd say we know quite a bit, by now," said Thanatos. "Isn't that right, Megaera?"
She nodded. "And we're both off duty now..."
This can't be happening. No way.
Slowly, ever so slowly, Zagreus began to walk towards them.

In the game, a tasteful fade to black with the barest implication of whatever immortal fuckery the three of them are getting up to. But that's not good enough for me!
I'm looking for anyone who enjoys these characters and their dynamics as much as I do. This will be a true threesome, and as we all know Meg is the top, so expect more than a little guy on guy action. The exact specifics of where Zag and Than fit in can be hashed out prior to roleplay. I'm also flexible on who plays who; I myself am a woman, but if you're a woman who feels like playing Zag and/or Than then be my guest, or if you're a Meg-head then I'm happy to try my hand at our two dickèd demigods.
You can check my post history for a list of things I like, though the more extreme ones need not feature in this. Above all, please, please be a competent writer. Hades is one of the best written games period (in my opinion), so much so that whenever I tried to rewrite the dialogue from that cutscene it came off as generic and insubstantial - hence why I basically just stole it wholesale from the game with a few minor alterations. My requirements in this area are unfortunately quite stringent, and I reserve the right to end an engagement if your writing style doesn't match mine, but hey, you'll never know unless you reach out~
Don't hurry to message, I'm not going anywhere and my preference is always for long term roleplays. I'd much rather receive a considered opening an hour after posting than a rushed response three minutes after.
I look forward to hearing from you!
