    Summary

    Sophia has been at camp long enough to know most of the cabins’ traditions.

    She’s always been social, and the constant rotation of new campers through the Hermes cabin has only widened her circle. As a result, her friendships now stretch across nearly every cabin, leaving her well acquainted with each group of siblings’ customs and idiosyncrasies.

    +++

    or: the demigods au, again. manon doesn’t believe in traditions, sophia’s kind loves them all a little, and dani thinks there should be some updates to the rulebook.

    Summary

    The first time they really fought, it had been over something stupid and insignificant, something about the choreography for their debut show. 

    Yoonchae’s argument at the time had been logical and for the better of the entire group, but Megan’s side had been valid, too, because the new choreography would’ve put both of them in risky positions. Regardless, both of them had been stubborn, and they ended up giving each other cold shoulders for a whole week before Lara had to mediate their reconciliatory conversation.  

    Now, they fight about work schedules and absences, mediated by questions of 'are you still able to make it to the charity dinner tonight?' and 'sorry, our film residency is going overtime, i won’t be able to fly back until next weekend' over text. 

    +++

    or: canon-divergence, post-katseye hiatus, celebrities AU. yoonchae has been nominated for her first ever oscar award, megan has been asked to be a bridesmaid at her cousin’s wedding, and navigating adulthood with busy careers and LDRs is never as easy as it seems.

    Summary

    Manon knows why they’re in this formation.

    Every time, it’s the same. Dani is beside her, Megan and Lara flanking the other side, Yoonchae and Sophia forming the rear. It’s a near-impenetrable triple-duo arrangement, one that looks perfectly strategic on the blackboard they had back at the red team base.

    It’s also just a formation that happens to feel really humiliating for her in practice.

    +++

    or, the demigods au. manon has never been a fighter, sophia is always a good friend and leader, and even godly parents can be terribly cruel to their children.

    Summary

    Megan usually didn’t believe in things like karma, but something must’ve gone catastrophically wrong in her past life, because surviving her sophomore dorm had become the most humbling experience she had ever gone through.

    She had just turned twenty, but whenever she slept in her own room, she would wake up feeling like she had been put in solitary confinement while also being geriatric and in need of a combined neck and back brace. She initially blamed it on the frumpy twin XL mattress she’d been given. In fact, she was convinced: three consecutive nights on that mattress was probably enough to shave a full year off her lifespan — maybe even more, if she added in the amount of stress or caffeine she had these days. Her room genuinely seemed actively hostile to human habitation, and the circumstances she had were… not ideal.

    Thankfully, she at least had Yoonchae.

    +++

    or, sophia is trying to clean the apartment, yoonchae has a mattress extender, and megan gets a bit more than a back massage.

    Summary

    Megan wasn’t one to usually victimize herself, but truly, having dyslexia had delayed her career plans. 

    Working in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations’ cyberanalytics team had been humbling enough. In just the last year, she’d mispelled several words on her quarterly presentation, conditioned her body to six hours of sleep, developed an ever-present sense of mild anxiety, and hacked through more security chips and intelligence networks abroad than she could count on both hands. 

    And based on Megan’s recent performance… well, she didn’t blame Missy for not wanting to put a dyslexic spy in the middle of Berlin and accidentally misspelling a license plate lead, or causing an international crisis because an asset kept saying ‘Royal Harem.’ 

    +++

    or, megan has something to prove, yoonchae has nothing to lose, and the world is a terrible, terrible place.

    Summary

    Yoonchae had been feeling like shit for two weeks now.

    At the end of the first week of college, she had briefly thought about dropping this Aztec art GenEd class; she had seriously considered changing classes altogether, mostly because she kept coughing during lecture, and the lecture was a hundred-person class in which, seemingly, she was the only person who was sick and coughing her lungs out. She had also briefly considered changing seats, but people had just begun sitting in the same locations, and it didn’t feel right to take someone else’s seat at this point.

    Yoonchae decided it was better to stay where she was.

    She continued coughing.

    +++

    or, 5 times yoonchae’s reminded that she’s still just a college freshman, and one time that she realizes that being a freshman ain’t all that bad (it’s still the opera AU, but is one year before — opera AU happens when Yoonchae's a sophomore, during Nov/Dec of her sophomore year)

    Summary

    Sophia was very good at compartmentalizing her spaces. 

    Of note, there were few things she did in her bedroom — cooking and eating were done in the kitchenette of her and Yoonchae’s shared apartment, studying was done at the library, pilates at the gym, game nights at Megan’s dorm, and so on. She could count the number of things she did in that room on one hand: sleep, shower, change clothes, put on or take off makeup. Maybe an occasional phone call or FaceTime if Yoonchae was deep in the trenches of her own room, and Sophia didn’t want to risk a call in the apartment’s living area to interrupt the other girl. 

    Regardless, the point was this: Sophia did very few things in her bed other than sleep. She did not study there, she did not eat there, and she most definitely did not see it as a playground space for a threesome. 

    And yet here she was.

    +++

    or, post opera AU. sophia's never thought about threesomes, manon's in the mood for one, and lara's being a supportive friend

    Summary

    Manon had consumed way too much alcohol.

    Manon didn’t know when or how she got here. They must’ve skipped over Thanksgiving and gone straight to December, and Christmas must’ve come early or something, because she was lying back against her own bed, on top of her duvet, with legs dangling over the side of this twin XL mattress, and a beautiful, gorgeous, vixen of a woman was straddling her, nibbling at her neck.

    Cross that — Sophia Laforteza was straddling her, and exploring Manon with all teeth and tongue, as if she were a starving woman who’d stumbled upon forbidden fruit.

    Summary

    It all started with an understaffed college opera.

    It was more a shitshow than an opera at this point.

    Manon should’ve known better. She was a junior and very much busy and had way too much to do and, most importantly, did not know how to ever say no, and now, here she was, ass-deep into the fall with a new source of niche, targeted stress.

    But Lara had come to her, begging her to fill the role of lighting designer with big puppy eyes and a stupid promise to bring Manon as her +1 to the next 3 weddings she would attend.

    God, Manon knew she should’ve said no.

    Summary

    The Monaco Grand Prix was no mere race. It was a ritual, ancient in spirit, if not in years, and unchanged in shape. The circuit did not bend to time; it wound still as it had in 1929. From Sainte Dévote’s blind plunge, through the mirrored harbor at Tabac, past the Casino that had seen kings weep and commoners become gods. It was a track that permitted no revolution, no reinvention — only repetition. Year after year, car after car, generation after generation, the path stayed the same. It was not redesigned; it simply could not be. It was chiseled into the bones of the city itself, and like fate, it allowed no divergence.

    Summary

    It wasn’t elegant. It wasn’t composed. It was messy and hot and utterly unhinged, with Jayce doing some kind of shoulder dance beside her that looked like it had been invented in a fever dream and Mel rapping with a truly terrible London accent.

    Summary

    Caitlyn is willing to lay down her life for her country and its people, at no cost; Vi wants nothing more than to stop losing loved ones to an unforgiving war on peace.

    However, according to Alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange, humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return.

    In fact, in order to obtain, something of equal value must be lost.

    Summary

    It’s a beautiful day, and you think you don’t deserve to have such a chance, to be able to look at the soft clouds and warm sun for another day — not when so many are dead, due to your wrongdoings. You close your eyes. You think about the bodies, consider the possibility of your own death, and find that you don’t think you would mind it all that much.

    +++

    A look into Caitlyn's mental state as she lies in her own blood, contemplating the worth of her life; as she lies on a hospital bed, considering the weight of her actions; and as she lies in a familiar bedroom, looking for a glimpse of salvation.

    Summary

    “Powder, who’s that?” Vi squinted at the sky, trying to make out the new Ravenclaw seeker that was floating above the field. Something about the person’s posture and dark hair looked familiar, but Vi couldn’t quite place who it was. “Is that’s Tricia’s replacement?”

    “Who’s who?” Powder asked, shivering in the November chill. She was wearing her house’s color—the Hufflepuff yellow was drawing quite a few looks from the other Gryffindors, but she had Vi’s maroon Gryffindor scarf around her neck. “Oh, the new seeker? I’m pretty sure that’s the Hat Girl.”

    “Hat Girl?”

    “Head Girl, Hat Girl. Fresh avocados, Fresha voca dos.”

    “Caitlyn Kiramman?” Vi repeated in disbelief. “I didn’t know she played Quidditch.” Vi glanced at her sister. “Also, are you okay? Because I have no idea what you just said about avocados.”

    Summary

    Her hands brush over yours as the both of you struggle to pull off her Head Girl uniform— first, the ridiculous robe— then, the sweater and tie. You catch sight of a familiar glint of Ravenclaw blue and grey; the shimmer of that special, prestigious pin on her sweater gives you another rush of excitement that settles deep into your bones, reminding you that yes... you really do have the Head Girl pinned under you, begging for you.

    She was the Head Girl this year. Ravenclaw's seeker. And the daughter of the esteemed Cassandra Kiramann, Minister of Magic. Smart, gorgeous, funny, kind, brave, and...
