MegZag

MegZag is the het ship between Zagreus and Megaera from the Hades fandom.

Canon
When Zagreus reflects on Tartarus, he figures out that he will run into Meg eventually and he does not sound thrilled about that.

Sure enough, Meg turns out to be his first boss, with Zagreus noting how awkward the confrontation is. When Zagreus asks if she doesn't have someplace else to be, Meg reveals that Zagreus' father sent her, with her saying that she'd prefer to be on Zagreus' bad side than Hades'. Megaera lets him choose between turning around by himself or getting sent home "the painful way", her wording implies that it will be equally painful to her. Zagreus will always choose the painful way and the two of them fight.

Should Zagreus catch Meg in the lounge, he has the option to give her a nectar. Should he have maxed out his relationship with her, Zagreus will fumble his words a little asking if she would like to spend some time with him, Megaera notes that he sounds like he used to sound around her. Zagreus admits that Megaera isn't that easy to approach, but she still agrees to drink the nectar with him. Time passes and Megaera starts smiling at Zagreus' confidence, but still thinks of him as the same little godling she used to know. Zagreus admits that he believes that she isn't the heartless harbringer she wants to be percieved as, but offers to keep her secret as long as she keeps his. Megaera scoffs at the offer, comparing it to blackmail, which got Zagreus all defensive, to which Meg laughs at his expense, admitting that she just wanted to "see him squirm" and thanks him for the drink. The status shows that his bond with Megaera is now "reforged".

Later, Megaera surprises Zagreus in his bedroom, asking him for a "talk". Zagreus gets the hint and has the option to go to her, should he take it, he will admit that he thought she would never ask. The screen fades to black as Meg's laughter, whiplashes and Zag's moaning are heard. After that's over, Zagreus will ask her if they're "good", to which Megaera replies that they are. But she also threatens to kill him again if he tells another soul about it. Zagreus voices concern about not being able to tell Thanatos, but Megaera reassures him that he will figure it out and isn't the jealous type. It is indeed possible to enter a relationship with Megaera after already dating Thanatos, but it is also possible to enter a relationship with both at the same time.

Fanon
MegZag is the most popular het ship in the Hades fandom, with ThanZag being its main rival, since its Zagreus' other canon relationship. However, there seems to be little animosity between them, since its common knowledge that Hades did indeed resolve its love triangle with polyamory.
