    Summary

    "I … I don't get what I’m meant to do. I just throw my food into the fire and ... talk?" James, a son of Hermes asked -- Percy could recognise those blue eyes and elfish facial features anywhere.

    Percy grinned, "Yeah, that's pretty much it."

    James hesitated before looking down at his feet, "But ... Hermes has a lot of children more powerful and more popular than me. What would I even ask him for? It's not like he cares."

    Maybe it was because Percy was reminded of that promise he wrangled from the gods at age sixteen, but one moment he was looking at the younger camper, and the next he was throwing some of his food into the fire and asking Poseidon for some Disneyland tickets very, very loudly.

    But even though he wasn't quite sure how it happened, the small, shocked laugh that James let out made it worth it.

    Or

    Percy sees that some of the newer campers don't feel 100% comfortable with requesting stuff from their godly parents, so he decides to rectify that the only way he knows how -- dramatically.

    Summary

    NCIS Agent Tony DiNozzo unexpectedly becomes the sole guardian of his 12-year-old daughter, Rory, after the death of her mother, Lorelai Gilmore. He’s forced to balance the loss of his best friend, the pressure of leading a new NCIS team under Director Vance, and a steep learning curve in how to raise a child, all while helping Rory to navigate her own grief. Tony has kept Rory’s existence a secret for her own protection, but that all falls apart as new challenges appear, new allies emerge, and they build a new normal as a family one day at a time.

    As Rory struggles to find her footing in Washington D.C., haunted by nightmares and loneliness, Tony must redefine what family, loyalty, and leadership mean. Tony seeks an unconventional solution to returning a sense of control to his daughter: female empowering self-defense lessons. What he couldn't have expected Rory to find through those lessons was a fast friendship with President Bartlet’s daughter, Zoey, which proves to be a blessing and a complication all at once.

    Grounded, emotional, and full of heart, three fandoms are blended together in a story of grief, resilience, quiet romance, and the power of found family.

    Summary

    Tony had … mostly… given up the fantasy that Gibbs could or would ever settle into the role of surrogate father. So, it shouldn't have hurt so much to watch Gibbs willingly stretch himself with Damon Werth, the should-have-been-Silver-star-medal-recipient, now disgraced for having taken the illegal but clearly effective route of steroids to overcome an anemic disorder and become the marine's marine he had become.

    He should have been used to life's little reality checks, by now. He really should have, but who was he kidding, no matter how much Tony had tried to convince himself that he had grown out of and beyond the need for it, something in Tony still wanted and needed acceptance and approval from his chosen father figure.

    But if he hadn't been clinging so desperately to that last little pathetic illusion, it couldn't have gained the mental and emotional power to become his last straw - snapping before the narcotics easing his dislocated shoulder had even worn off. That may have been a blessing, though - in and of itself- allowing Tony to stay numb as he planned his exit from NCIS, the MRCT, and his wistfully-chosen, once-upon-a-time family.

    Summary

    Alhaitham isn’t your run-of-the-mill vampire - he’s a hybrid who shuns the grim clichés of centuries-old pale recluses. But when a catastrophic failure at the Sumeru City Blood Bank wipes out their entire supply, Kaveh offers to let Alhaitham feed from him directly. Neither of them could have foreseen the life-altering consequences that one fateful bite would trigger.

    “Yes, for the thousandth time, I'm sure, you oversized mosquito. Just do it.”

    Alhaitham inhaled slowly, allowing Kaveh’s scent to envelop his senses as his body tingled with something unfamiliar - tense and anticipatory. It was as though the vein beneath Kaveh’s soft skin was calling out Alhaitham’s name, beckoning him in with a powerful lull like a siren’s song.

    Kaveh didn’t flinch as the tips of Alhaitham's fangs came to rest hesitantly on his throat, and with one final, resolute breath, he gave in. Thumb caressing the other side of Kaveh’s neck as he held him in place, Alhaitham punctured his skin with a gentle bite.
