    Summary

    Percy Jackson arrives at Camp Half-Blood bruised and bleeding, with the knowledge that he's the son of a god and his mother is dead. His little display with the Minotaur has caught the attention of the camp. But he’s not sure it is good attention, yet.

    Only the Hermes Cabin's not-quite Co-counselor Theseus, ‘call me Theo,’ doesn't treat him like a fascinating zoo exhibit. Which would be a relief, except he looks exactly like Percy: same green eyes, same trouble making smile, same black hair. The only differences are the fact that Theo is six years older, covered in battle scars, and the black tattoo on his arm. A trident and the letters SPQR.

    Theo is eighteen, powerful, and unclaimed. And his resemblance to Percy could set a dangerous precedent.

    Summary

    Glinda falls in love with Fiyero in the same way you learn to fly: steadily and surely working your way up to it, and then beginning to soar. On the other hand, she falls in love with Elphaba much like how you might jump from a cliffside: hesitantly, entirely resistant, and then plummeting into it all at once.

    All of this might, admittedly, be much less terrifying if she knew how much they love her in return.

    Or, an abridged list of the ways that Elphaba and Fiyero love Glinda.

    Summary

    This isn’t the first time Maxwell Gotch has been pinned to the ground by Torse. This is the first time it’s scared him, though.

    Even during their sparring matches, where neither would concede, where they both gave as good as they got, he never found himself in fear of the other. Even when Torse’s knife-like arms would press against his skin, even when he would bleed through his hand wrapping to land a hit, even when Torse’s punches would shatter the wood of the ship—if anything, these things thrilled Max, as mortifying as it was to admit.

    Now, as the sharp edge of Torse’s bladed knuckles crash sharply against his cheek, his own blood splattering onto the scrap that made up the floor, he finds that the thrill has something more skittish hiding in its undercurrent.

    or: To buy his crew time, Maxwell must fight one of the Queen of Zern’s greatest warriors to the death. It just so happens to be Torse he’s up against.

    Summary

    This might be where she dies. She knew that the moment she jumped. The Straka is relentless, with its jaw of jagged metal, clamping down and forcing her onto her knees.

    She squeezes her eyes shut, presses a button. Bursts of fireworks go off behind her, blinding the thing from the inside. No defense. She'll do whatever she can to keep this thing at bay, to keep it from attacking her friends. Her family.

    She might die here.

    Or

    Olethra jumps into the mouth of The Straka and comes to terms with death. Too bad Torse and Max decide to jump in after her.

    Summary

    Maxwell's eyes soften, "Perhaps I assumed."

    Olethra half-smiles, "You know what happens when you assume, right?"

    He laughs, louder than she expected, "Yes, I do. My grandfather would say so often."

    "My grandma did, too."

    Summary

    Maxwell just tuned out the conversations instead, glancing around the street. It was dark, and unlike home, where the street lamps took up entire avenues, and the light pollution was so strong you could barely make out the clouds, here, the stars were scattered on full display. Not that Maxwell liked stargazing. He didn't. But he couldn't help his mind from straying, and his legs, too, as he glanced around the street and felt himself drawn towards the patches of voices outside of the bars and those establishments his dad would call rowdy-

    "Where are you going?"

    Maxwell turned around quickly, expecting his father's stern expression or Samwell's weary one, but instead just found himself facing the wide-eyed girl - Olethra - from before.

    ***

    When Olethra's parents pass tragically, Comfrey isn't approved instantly for custody. Instead, Olethra is taken in by a rather different family - but the Gotches stay on the ground, and Olethra... adamantly refuses to.

    Summary

    Maxwell cut his teeth early on, wrestling Johnwell out of the way for first access to the washroom or shoving the door open on Hatwell, who always obnoxiously took the longest getting ready even though he always ended up looking stupid anyway. It prepared him well for university dorms, where violence was less common but struggle for the communal showers was no less harried.

    The challenge comes now, of course. Even a large ship like the Zephyr has only so many facilities, and he’d, maybe presumptuously, left his towel and soap in one of the private showers, the very one Olethra MacLeod had taken up nearly an hour ago.

    Maxwell Gotch learns to braid hair.

    Summary

    Maxwell. Maxwell Gotch. Nearby. Torse screamed in frustration, though no sound emerged, once more commanding his body to move. Move. MOVE. Make a noise. Twitch. Glow. Anything.

    The sound of rustling metal scraps, steps of familiar shoes that were unfit for Zern’s landscape, getting closer. Closer. Torse pushed all his circuitry to the hand that felt like it was closest to the sun, imploring it to move and summon his Maxwell.

    A scrape of metal and a gasp.

    “Torse! My good man, what has happened to you?”

    Maxwell’s fingers brushed debris from Torse’s helm, finally discovering his wretched, useless body. Torse tried to get his vision strip to flicker on and allow him his sight. He saw nothing, still trapped in his world of darkness.

    Samwell Gotch prides himself on being a constant, reliable figure in his younger brothers’ lives, but he fails Maxwell on day one. He’ll spend his entire life making up for it.

    Or: one time Samwell couldn’t hold his brother, and five times following where he can.

    Summary

    “What? The switcheroo? I have not been switcheroo’d, Maxwell,” says Olethra, at once utterly confused, and doubly so when Maxwell looks confused at her confusion. “I think I would notice if my brain was a chimp or something. I’d hope you guys would notice, actually.”
    “What are you…no, no, not that! Obviously not the Zood one! I mean, more of a, a…” A lengthy pause. Maxwell exhales hard through his nostrils. “A…Gath switcheroo.”
    Olethra blinks, at length. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

    Summary

    Merlin accidentally reveals his magic to Arthur. It goes about as well as he can expect. Only Arthur is still furious about the lies between them, and refuses to let Merlin back into his role as manservant. So Merlin requests to be made a knight. If Arthur can't trust him to be a friend, at least Merlin can continue to save his life. Their friendship hangs in the balance, and it is unclear whether they are going to come through on the other side stronger than ever, or broken beyond repair.

    Summary

    It takes a month after Arthur lifts the ban on magic for him to adjust to the fact that the people around him might actually start to use it. Even stranger is when Merlin learns some from Gaius and, oddly enough, has a bit of a knack for it.

    In which Arthur is obtuse, Merlin is trying his best, and Gwaine, Elyan and Leon don't understand why they can't learn to light fires as easily as Merlin did.

    Summary

    'At Emrys’ feet Merlin will fall, and from Merlin’s demise he shall rise.'

    That's what the prophecy had said, after all.

    More specifically: Arthur is sent on a quest with the powerful warlock Emrys and strikes up an unwilling friendship. It feels like betrayal, when Emrys was the one who killed Merlin all those years ago.

    “Please,” Arthur tried. “Let him go. If you want the book–”

    The man holding the sword to Merlin’s neck smirked. “Oh, that? That’s just a bonus. No, king. We’re here for this.” And without another word, he slid the sword across Merlin’s throat.

    Summary

    That girl he tried to save — Leah, his brain supplied quietly, Jake's girlfriend — the one he spent four bags of blood and countless minutes trying to resuscitate, that could have been Robby. Their Robby. His Robby.

    And who knew how many bags of blood Jack would have used on him then. Four, eight, he would have opened a direct line from his vein to Robby’s right then and there if it meant bringing him back. He would have crawled into Robby’s chest and forced his heart to start with pure desperation.

    or

    Jack goes to find Robby on the roof.

    Summary

    "IPA," Robby called again, a reminder.

    "For that, I'm getting you a Bavarian wheat beer, you prissy fuck." But Jack bypassed the respectable Penn Pilsner and grabbed a pack of their hopped-to-shit IPA, hating himself a little for giving in...but it would make Robby smile.

    The door banged open, spinning Jack around, senses instantly on alert as a guy rushed in, black bandana tied around his face, pistol pointing at Sal as he shouted. "Open the register! Now!"
