    Summary

    A deal for wealth.

    What is traditional to offer? Well, a first-born is always a classic.

    Janet Drake doesn't believe in demons. But she does know her history and there's one person who will, in her mind, always accept a deal for a child.

    Summary

    "I, Thanatos, have a mission for three of you demigods." Says the black angel, immense wings spreading over the Fields of Mars and hiding the moon behind shiny feathers like a slick of motor oil on the sun. "In the land beyond the reach of the gods, my half-blood son traded places with me as a giant's prisoner. I want him back. You have four days."

    •••

    Or: Some gods have preferred bloodlines for their children – and the Peverells are Thanatos' favorite, even though, until Lily and James, he didn't have a demigod child.

    Until he has him, Thanatos' first half-blood child in more than two thousand years – a boy mortals know as Harry, but Thanatos names Zagreus, in honor of a long-lost friend. A child with his mortal father's hair, his mother's eyes, and the black wings of his godly sire.

    And when he switches places with Thanatos in Alaska – after all, everything that dies must stay dead – Harry – as his namesake – sets off a chain of events that will completely change the course of the Gigantomachy.

    •••

    Or the one where Harry Potter is literally the son of Death Incarnate, and the power that the Dark Lord doesn't know is the divine ichor in his veins.

    Summary

    The Gorgons die screaming.

    Stheno's wails are heard for miles as she burns from the inside out. The eldest begs for mercy, reminding her killer of his father's kindness. Will Solace thinks of mice and locusts and plagues. Of Apollo Smintheus and the mercy he showed in the Trojan War. He giggles at her pleas and summons more sunlight. The only thing left of her is a pile of golden ashes.

    Euryale thinks fighting a daughter of Demeter is beneath her. She learns her lesson at the hands of Katie Gardner, who remains sitting at their table out in the stone garden. She whispers to the bushels of roses and firethorns around her and strokes their petals with a gentle touch. Katie smiles into her teacup as Euryale suffocates, sent back to Tartarus, swaddled in a blanket of thorns.

    Percy Jackson guts Medusa, stomach to breast, with black claws, and watches her blood pool at his feet. If he closes his eyes, he can almost feel it pulsing. Riptide severs her head in one clean strike, and she dissolves into gold dust. For the second time, she is slain by one named Perseus. There's no Chrysaor or Pegasus to spring from her neck this time, but a child of Poseidon is present to haunt her all the same.

    Summary

    In the aftermath, a thousand and one deaths flash before his eyes, and Ares feels them all. Every sword. Every spear. Every knife.

    Over and over again, he breathes his last breath, sometimes at the hands of another soldier and sometimes at the hands of himself. He stares at his own face, caked in blood and viscera, and hates himself for loving it.

    War is his vice of choice. It is his lover. His best friend. His worst enemy. He hates to love it, but no matter how he tries, he can’t seem to escape its clutches.

    He’s not quite sure if he really wants to.

    - - -

    It’s ironic, isn’t it? Ares hates all of Poseidon’s children with a vengeful fury, and yet, in this new world of Christianity and Capitalism, Perseus Fucking Jackson is the closest thing he has to a priest.

    Summary

    Patroclus runs the best noodle shop in town. Well, the only noodle shop in town. But his peaceful life is about to change.

    Following a misunderstanding with a corpse, Achilles and his ragtag gang arrive on the scene and are forced to take Patroclus under their wing. Everything Patroclus knows is turned upside down as they fall deeper into a world of crime, brothels, and noodle broth. Yet, they do not expect the close bond they will develop, its lasting impact, or the defining moments that spur them into letting go of the past.

    Summary

    Summer was always dry heat and scorching sun in Phthia. It was long days on the farm and listless evenings by the creek or beneath the shade of the coolabah tree. It was foreign touches and shaky hands and held breath.

    --

    Following the events of 'Feral and Stray', Achilles Pelides grapples with his past and present with Patroclus as they ready themselves for the new semester.

    Side stories and off cuts of 'Feral and Stray'.

    Summary

    It seemed that Kronos, essentially, was a sore loser.

    "By the gods, what are you wearing, boy?" the man inquired, taking a step closer to Percy.

    Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, Percy instinctively took a step back, causing the man to chuckle. The sound sent shivers down Percy's spine. "Now, now. Don't be afraid, boy. I'm simply curious as to why you're dressed so strangely," the man remarked, tilting his head. "And why I've received reports of a boy appearing in our streets, unrecognized by anyone." There was distrust in his voice. Percy wanted to groan, did everyone think he was some type of spy?
    ___________________________________

    Join Percy on his journey through time, thrown into the era of the Trojan War. Being accused as a spy, dealing with two annoyingly ancient beautiful Greek heroes watching his every move.

    Watch as the Demigods from his time deal with the fact their leader has up and disappeared after fighting Kronos.

    And how the gods are dealing with these newfound memories of heroes from the Trojan War they don’t ever remember meeting. Who has an uncanny resemblance to the hero who just went missing?

    (y'all don't plagiarise this??? I feel like that is very obvious?)

    Summary

    There is a tradition in Pithia - every two years, a festival is held where young omegas are sent into the forest and the alphas follow soon after. To be mated during this sacred festival is considered good luck and the couple would be blessed with good fortune.

    Achilles never cared about the festival that much.

    That was until Patroclus presented as an omega.

    Summary

    Talk to him, indeed, that side of him sneers. To hear his dulcet voice, to gaze upon his handsome countenance again and again, as much as he pleases, before Achilles has even had the chance? How dare he? How dare he??
    But then that weakness in Achilles’ heart begins to throb, and he starts to wonder……
    Would Patroclus still recognize Achilles’ scent, if it were lightly emanating from Zagreus’ skin? Would he be able to taste him on Zagreus’ lips?
    Achilles suddenly imagines Zagreus traveling to Elysium carrying the smell of their sex. Patroclus surely would not be able to deny Achilles then. He’ll remember how Achilles smells and tastes, he’ll have Zagreus for himself and see that how he fucks is just the same as Achilles, in such a way that only Achilles could have taught him. And then Patroclus will realize: that he and Achilles will always belong together.

    Summary

    The Trojan war promises to be long and drawn out. Before it even starts, heroic Diomedes finds a diversion in the cunning and mysterious Odysseus. What starts as an unlikely friendship becomes a port in the storm of a great war.

    Part 1 of what will hopefully be a work spanning the time before and during the Trojan war as well as the Odyssey. The focus is mainly on Odysseus' and Diomedes' unique relationship but will also be fairly plot heavy.

    Summary

    The only thing Odysseus noticed about the classroom was that it was loud. Too loud. He could barely read with his classmates running around, chatter and giggles filling the room. Sitting away from his peers, in his own little corner where he had cultivated his own space, which others knew to stay away from, Odysseus had a good view of the whole room, the teacher’s desk and the door parallel to him. His teacher sat leaning back on her chair, a solid gaze, which flicked from student to student, only to ensure they didn’t hurt themselves, rather than check their behaviour, apparently.

    Or: Odysseus meets his partners

    Summary

    Jason decides to take his chance. “So what’s the deal with him, anyway? People here talk about him like he’s a god.”

    To his surprise, Clarisse snorts. “Something like that. Prissy’s an annoying one, that’s for sure. But I can’t deny that he’s powerful.”

    “Powerful how?” He finds himself asking, curious. Everyone keeps talking about Percy Jackson, but people have yet to tell him more than that he’s Annabeth’s boyfriend, missing, and a son of Neptune. No, Poseidon. For some reason, the names swirl in his head, jumbled. He jolts out of his thoughts to Clarisse’s sigh of annoyance.

    “What is it with all the hero-worship around here?” She mutters under her breath, and then huffs. “At least it wouldn’t go to his head.” She clears her throat, voice finally rising above a whisper. “Control-the-sea powerful. Create-a-storm powerful. Blow-up-a-toilet powerful. Blow-up-a-volcano powerful. That sort of thing.” She shrugs like she hasn’t dropped bombshell after bombshell, and Jason barely has enough presence of mind left to register that his jaw is hanging open. “Right–”

    Or, 10 times someone thought Percy was a god, and the one time someone knew he was (or at least something like one).
