The fan fiction "The Thousand Natural Shocks that Flesh is Heir To" was written for the Supergiant Hades video game franchise by Arya Greenleaf on the Archive of Our Own. This 4,008 word story is rated Explicit for sexual content including frottage and mutual masturbation. The on-screen pairing is Hypnos/Zagreus with vague references to other intimate relationships for both characters. Other story elements include references to mythology beyond that in-game and the effects of a boon from Sleep. Zag describes feeling of euphoria and sedation, although he is still in control of his faculties and is able to actively consent. The sexual content is of a platonic rather than romantic nature and occurs semi-publicly as they are situated on Hypnos' couch in the Great Hall, although the House is empty for once. The summary reads: The God of Nothing kisses Sleep. He dives into the bottomless well of slumber-manifested and tastes the warmth of his mouth and the smoothness of his teeth and the sweetness of his breath and the softness of his skin. Zagreus clutches at the silky froth of his hair and pulls him as near as he can and kisses him until he’s gasping -- like he’s surfaced from the Styx.
