welcome to the storm (i am thunder) by maverickk

Summary
The rivalry began long before Percy Jackson and Jason Grace met. It began with one arriving at the other's Camp, with one filling the other's shoes. A rivalry does not need attention to grow. It will feed, and fester, and bloat until it is confronted and either defeated or fulfilled.
Percy's problem isn't with Jason. It's with the Romans' way of things. It's with their child army, and their blind compliance to the gods, and their harsh standards and the division between their cohorts. Praetor Jason Grace is just the easiest target.
Jason doesn't have an issue with Percy. He just has an issue with how much acknowledgement the gods give the Greeks, with how low the Greeks' lifespan is, with how much freer and happier the Greeks are. He has an issue with the fact that his father still won't acknowledge him, won't talk to him. He has an issue with the sense of wrongness the idea of being Greek or Roman gives him. Maybe Percy is just the easiest scapegoat, but...Jason has no other target.

Summary
Luke had framed him for his theft, Luke was ready to be a catalyst for a war. Luke was serving Kronos, the very root of Percy's torment, his nightmares.
The son of Hermes studies his gaze for a moment, before he turns back to the stone to slash what feels like the final indent into the ruin. The clearing is bathed in crimson, but the sounds of the fireworks are distant now as Percy's hands shake. The older half-blood, the one Percy had oh so idolized, raises his sword. Percy knows he is at a crossroads, two decisions offering themselves to him. He can do nothing, let Luke rip through the barrier and escape the camp with him. Or he can do what he's done for weeks now, the one thing that had gotten his father's attention. He can fight.
He looks at Luke and part of him cries brother while the other raises Riptide.
TLDR; Percy and Luke's encounter goes differently, and Percy finds himself as a harbinger of war.
(Meanwhile, Annabeth just wants her family back.)

Bookmarker's Notes
The first story of the series. Time Travel!Anakin aren't usually my cup of tea, but this one is very compelling and well-written. Definitely "well he tries" tag as there are points where Anakin doesn't resist the Dark Side and fully embraces it from time to time...which I actually like because it shows all character flaws and growth.

Again, the teeth-clenched friendship between Mac and Jensen is awesome.

Summary
Macready’s swearing under his breath at a bleeding wound on his shoulder, reaching stubbornly to tie his boots anyway. (Sometimes Adam thinks they have a little too much in common.) But that and the lack of insults are… not what Adam’s having trouble taking his eyes off of.
For the prompt: "Someone seeing scars you didn't want them to see."

Summary
“Paperwork for the new head of Q-Branch,” Tanner said.
“Of course.” The words were like glass in his throat. Smoke inhalation was a bitch. His brain felt slow and foggy, like it was full of smoke too. “Who shall I take them to?”
M lifted one white brow. “They’re for you, Quartermaster.”
Bond and Q are drawn together by names, work, and a certain Aston Martin. In which Q is kidnapped once, Bond is poisoned twice, and Eve is a badass on at least three occasions. AKA that time I tripped and wrote 80,000 words of 00Q.
All titles unapologetically stolen from Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Nine hundred miles away from where the man who will be Q sits grieving his sister, James Bond hears the story of a young woman who would have done anything to keep her little brother safe, even if it meant betraying the man she loved.
Even if it meant sacrificing her own life for his.

a Q origin story masquerading as another "Vesper is Q's sister" fic.
