Summary
“My true love will have hair the color of yellow apples,” and Jack Zimmermann will take a bite from the forbidden fruit, juice running down his chin. “My true love will be exactly five feet and six-and-a-half inches tall,” and he will chew a leaf from a tree of that same height. “My true love will be as sweet as sugar and sharp as lemon,” and he will drink half a glass of Great-Aunt Cathy’s lemonade, waiting until the last dregs of sugar hit his tongue. “And if a single one of these things is not to be, then let it be known—my true love shall not be he.”
(He knows in his bones that this spell won’t ever come true. After all, his true love isn't real, and if he’s not real, then the curse can’t take him. That’s the whole point.)
--
Or, a Practical Magic AU. Wherein Jack Zimmermann must deal with family curses, hockey legacies, accidental manslaughter, Kent Parson’s obstinate death wish, and a snarky Southern kitchen warlock who won’t mind his own damn business.

Summary
Nico’s own heart drops in his chest. He kneels to his feet, offering a hand to his fallen friend. “Jason—”
And immediately gets slashed by Jason’s gladius.
“Agh!” Nico falls back in pain, clutching his wounded arm.
Jason wobbles to his feet. He looks at Nico through hazy eyes, pointing his sword directly at Nico’s chest. “How the hell do you know my name?”
--
A quest to find Jason turns into a journey to figure out why he was missing in the first place.
