    Summary

    For the first time, being wanted back doesn’t feel like a fantasy he's invented to torture himself. Someone will want him; that much is practically a given. The realization has crept up on him slowly over the past few months, in subtle glances from strangers and knowing smiles from other omegas in the hall.

    He is, apparently, desirable.

    But, if that’s true, and it's not ridiculous to imagine someone actually wanting him, then why has he been acting like his only option is to sit around and hope Mike trips over the realization himself?

    Mike is many wonderful things, after all, but observant is not one of them.

    After he presents, Will decides he’s done waiting for Mike to figure things out on his own. It’s time to take matters into his own hands, for once.

    Summary

    Sir Michael assesses them both. He seems to accept whatever he finds, nodding slowly. “I see. My apologies, I have gotten ahead of myself. For how long have you two been courting, then?”

    Someone chokes behind them, and for a long moment, Mike honestly thinks he's misheard him. The look on his face is dead serious, though, stoic in a way that makes it very clear he's not joking.

    “What?” he croaks. He looks over at Will, who looks just as caught off guard as he feels.

    “You need not be shy,” Michael reassures them, back straightening. “I, too, was hesitant when William and I first began our courtship. I understand.”

    When Mike's doppelganger shows up dressed like something straight out of one of their D&D campaigns, he thinks he should be thrilled. There are alternate universes. There are alternate universes with knights and wizards and dragons. And, honestly, Mike probably would be thrilled, under normal circumstances. The guy is just so weird about him and Will.

    Summary

    Both of their bodies shake as they catch their breath. Will’s still hard, and his sweat is starting to dry uncomfortably on his skin, but all he can focus on is Mike.

    It’s times like these he’s reminded how lucky he is to have Mike in this way. To see this side of him, this side that still feels too new and too intimate and too overwhelming all at once. Sometimes, he thinks he may be bitter. Resentful of his lot in life, being so painfully in love with someone who will so obviously never feel the same way. On his bad days, he even thinks he might resent Mike.

    Like this, though, he knows that could never be true. Not really. Sure, it hurts, only ever having Mike halfway, knowing his body but never his soul. Yes, it’s going to kill him when Mike inevitably finds someone new and runs off into the sunset, leaving him in the dust again.

    But it’s Mike. He'll take whatever he can get.

    When he and Mike end up in bed together after graduation, they fall into something dangerously easy. Or, at least, it would be easy, if it weren't the most painful thing Will's ever done.

    Summary

    It’s seriously hot in here. Will shifts on the carpet, his stomach rolling. It feels like his skin is welting from the heat. He blinks hard, fruitlessly trying to slow the rapid rise and fall of his chest.

    “Will?” Lucas calls, sounding far away.

    Across the room, there’s a clamor, and then an understanding, “Oh, fuck.”

    Everyone seems to realize the same thing at once, himself included. He’s going into heat. He’s going into heat in the middle of Mike’s basement, with everyone watching.

    It's the summer of 1985, and everything in Will's life is already falling apart. So, of course, puberty just has to go and make it all worse.

    Summary

    Mike’s mouth is warm.

    Warm, and a little chapped, and pressing against his with an uncertainty that makes something in Will’s chest ache. He should pull away. He knows this. He knows it in the same way he knows not to touch a hot stove, not to stare too long, not to let himself imagine impossible things. His body seems uninterested in logic, though, and he supposes he can’t blame himself, not really.

    Mike shifts slightly, trying to figure out what to do with his limbs. His lips move against Will’s with more intention, and Will’s breath stutters out of him in a way that is deeply embarrassing and entirely involuntary.

    Oh, his brain supplies unhelpfully.

    It’s something he’s imagined countless times before, kissing Mike Wheeler. He imagines it so often, in fact, that he cannot even recall the first time he imagined it. It’s an ever-present fantasy, always lurking in the back of his mind.

    And yet, despite his thorough experience in imagining this moment, he somehow never imagined it quite like this.

    Or: Five times it doesn't mean anything, and one time it finally does.

    Summary

    By all measures, Mike is a good alpha. He checks all the boxes, really. Protective without being overbearing, quick to step in when someone’s in trouble, careful but not patronizing. He’s loud and boisterous, sure, but he’s also earnest, and sweet, and so goddamn chivalrous it’s stupid.

    It’s all so horribly infuriating, and so infuriatingly endearing.

    That’s the thing about instincts. They make everything so confusing. Will knows, rationally, that all of these things are just Mike’s way of being a good friend and packmate. And yet, there’s still a part of him—a decidedly omega part—that relishes in the attention in a way he knows he shouldn’t.

    Navigating teenage relationships is hard enough. It's even harder when instincts get involved.

    Summary

    Percy goes to paw at the waistband of Apollo’s cheesy basketball shorts, but a hand stops him, grabbing his wrist.

    “What?” he whines, uselessly trying to loosen Apollo’s grip.

    “Be patient,” Apollo chides playfully, sitting up and pulling Percy into his lap. He kisses him, slow and hot, before pulling away with a concerningly smug smirk, “I have a surprise for you.”

    “What?” Percy asks again, leaning back and squinting suspiciously.

    Apollo just grins.

    Summary

    When Percy ascended, he’d felt like his life was over, irony be damned. He felt suffocated with it—the power, the responsibility, the sacrifice. He felt like he aged minutes while he watched his friends lose years, lose lives.

    He swore to himself he wouldn’t fall into the trap of it, wouldn’t let it corrupt him.

    Something undeniably divine crackles under his skin as he looks around the temple at the offerings, at the sharp reverence in Dionysus' eyes. Not for the first time, he fears he’s failed.

    Summary

    He recognizes the smirk on Apollo’s face. He doesn’t let himself dwell on it—Apollo’s known far and wide for hitting on anything that moves.

    But he does dwell on the way Percy tosses his head back with laughter. He dwells on the way he doesn’t move when Apollo goes to brush a piece of hair behind his ear. He dwells on the way he lets Apollo touch his arm fleetingly.

    He’s still dwelling on it when he meets Apollo’s eye across the room later that week on Olympus. He’s still dwelling on it when Apollo approaches him lasciviously after his meeting with his father.

    Burning, burning, burning.

    Summary

    Percy feels himself getting lost in the current of Apollo’s eyes the longer he looks at him, and he doesn’t even berate himself for thinking something so cheesy. Something about the night—maybe the moonlight, maybe the wine—is making him feel especially emotional, especially in love, and he definitely isn’t complaining.

    “I love you,” he whispers, fragile.

    Summary

    "Neither of us are in our right minds,” Percy forces out through gritted teeth. “I’ll send you into heat.”

    Apollo smiles wryly, taking another step. “My mind is perfectly clear.”

    “I don’t think you’d be looking at me like that if that was the case.”

    Apollo keeps walking until he’s made it to the bed, crawling onto the mattress. “That’s absurd,” he disagrees, scooting closer. “I’ve always wanted you. Everybody wants you.”

    He wants to reach out, to cup his face and kiss him, deep and reassuring. He settles for prying Percy’s knees apart instead, slotting himself between them.

    “You’re really tempting fate, here,” Percy chuckles nervously, gulping.

    “The Fates and I get along great, actually,” he grins. “Trust me, this is what I want,” he promises, fingers dancing up Percy’s hard chest. He leans up, whispering against Percy’s ear, taunting, "Alpha."

    Summary

    Estelle holds up her drawing proudly, three blobs of paint and crayon.

    “It’s our family!” Percy explains enthusiastically, his dimples showing. He points at the paper, “See? That’s you, and this is me, and that’s Mrs. O’Leary!”
     
    It's our family. It’s our family. It’s our family.

    Jason would do anything to kiss this man.

    Acknowledging that seems like it should freak him out more than it does — it feels like a huge revelation, a tidal wave crashing down on him and bringing years of feelings to light for the first time. It feels mundane, like a fact of life he’s known forever, uneventful.

    Damn. He’s in love with Percy Jackson.

    Summary

    When he was thirteen, he dreamed of Jason Grace for the first time. It was vivid unlike much of anything he’d ever dreamed before, and it terrified him. He didn’t have to feel the sting of rejection the next morning when he woke up in the underworld, but it felt like there was a wound on his heart nonetheless.

    The dreams didn't go away — he dreamed of Jason the night he and Percy disappeared. He dreamed of Jason the night he turned up at Camp Half-Blood, memories noticeably missing. He dreamed of Jason in Tartarus, in restless bouts of sleep.

    He dreamed of him holding him close, whispering sweet nothings into his ear. He dreamed of him kissing him passionately, in the middle of the arena where anyone could see, unashamed. He dreamed of things Jason would never do, things Jason would never say, even in his dreams. He dreamed of Jason Grace, but it was obvious Jason Grace didn’t dream of him.

    Summary

    "You taste so good, darling,” Bacchus murmurs, eating Percy out like he’s starving. “So, so sweet. What a beautiful omega you are.”

    “Alpha,” Percy whimpers, clutching the pillow under his head tightly. It’s so good, so good, but he needs so much more. “Please, wanna be full of you.”

    The alpha dips his tongue into Percy’s hole, deep and wet, before he pulls back to speak, voice playful, “You seem quite full as it is.”

    Summary

    Now, watching Percy Jackson bounce on Hermes' lap enthusiastically, sat on the throne of the king of the gods for any nymph or god to walk by and see, the only comprehensible thought running through Apollo’s head is that he’d never taken his brother for an exhibitionist.

    He’d never taken himself for a pervert, though, either.

    Summary

    "What would make you happy if not her?” Apollo asks, hot against the shell of his ear. Percy’s breaths are shallow, and their proximity is making him feel light-headed and floaty. “What do you want?”

    His eyes flicker up, meeting Apollo’s gaze again. For a moment, neither of them move.

    “I want you to kiss me,” Percy says at last, staring into Apollo’s eyes through the mirror.

    Summary

    “You have done nothing but tempt me all semester,” Apollo berates. “It takes guts to waltz in here dressed like you do, to talk to me the way you do, and not expect me to do something about it,” he continues, beginning to thrust his fingers with more purpose. “In fact, I’d dare say you knew exactly what you were doing. Isn’t that right, Mr. Jackson?”

    “What? No!” Percy shakes his head, offended despite himself. “I would never!”

    “No?” Apollo asks, taunting, his fingers rubbing against his prostate intently. “You didn’t walk into my class every day hoping I’d finally crack? You didn’t dream about me fucking you over this very desk, putting you in your place, just like this?”

    Summary

    When Apollo received a call from his Oracle, quiet but decidedly urgent, he was immediately worried. Percy wasn’t known to pray to him, much less call out to him so blatantly. He could only assume something had gone horribly wrong.

    He’s not sure what he was expecting upon arriving in the cave. Perhaps a vicious attack on his Oracle and everything his position stands for, or a mortally wounded omega bleeding out on the floor, or something of an equally dramatic measure.

    An utterly debauched Percy Jackson was probably his last possible guess, ever.
