Summary

Will is doing fine. ~~He’s not.~~ He’s doing okay. ~~He’s not.~~ He may not exactly be thriving but he’s not drowning either despite what people are saying to his face and behind his back. He’s doing well-enough. He’s mentally sound. He’s alright. He swears. So would everybody get off his back already?

A little bit of magic, a little bit of logic (and a whole lot of coincidence) by JustALilSnail

Summary

It’s not so bad growing up in Camp Jupiter. Sure, there’s little annoyances here and there: like, Octavian always glaring at him, him being stuck in the fifth cohort, his inability to learn Latin that well, his weird preferences for the Greek names over the Roman ones, and the most annoying of all, an itching, indescribable feeling that somebody is waiting for him. Somebody… which is ridiculous because he has nobody outside of Camp Jupiter.

Grover, Climbing by JustALilSnail

Fandoms: Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types
20 May 2025
Tags
Summary

If Grover is to rank which of Camp Half Blood’s attractions draws the most attention, it for sure has to be the lava-spewing, 50-foot, no-rope climbing walls that slam together if not done fast enough. Just the right amount of danger to get that adrenaline going. No child can escape the allure of the climbing wall, much less children with ADHD and troubled pasts who were never allowed to indulge in any of life’s delights.

i know i would give my life for you (you who i cradled in my arms) by godswillbegods (angiomalacia)

Fandoms: Ancient Greek Religion & Lore
06 Feb 2026

Summary

Hermes rolls his eyes affectionately. “I do not need perfection. If I did, I would have gone to anyone else.”

Apollon narrows his own eyes, either in concentration or in response to the taunt. “I wish to perform to perfection for you. This is my chance to show off my perfectly-neat suturing, considering you believe my skills to be a myth.”

Hermes snorts, then recoils as it sends a bolt of pain through his nose. Apollon swats at his shoulder lightly for the jostling movements. “One might get the impression you are a healer. Not just any healer, but The Healer.”

Or, in which, Hermes gets injured and winds up at Apollon's palace.

How to Use Hidden Search Operators (And Get Real Specific About It) by najio

Fandoms: No Fandom
18 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary

This came about mostly because I kept needing to bounce around all over the internet looking for guides on how to use the hidden search functions on AO3. In other words, filtering tags and more using the "Search within results" field. It turns out these operators are capable of a lot of useful stuff, but how to do it isn't always super intuitive, so. Here is my attempt to consolidate as much information as I can into one spot!

How to Block Tags With Site Skins (And Get Real Specific About It) by najio

Fandoms: No Fandom
25 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary

Just some info I've gathered over the past couple of weeks, about how to:
1. Block tags using Site Skins, block only fics that contain both tag A and tag B, and block fics with a tag that contains a certain phrase, unless they are a specific whitelisted tag
2. Highlight the tags in pretty colors! Or bold, or hide them!
3. Block mega-crossovers with a million different fandoms
4. Select for/block fics that are completed/rated something/have a certain category/don't have summaries
5. Block everything that doesn't have a certain tag, or one of a list of tags
6. Block orphan_account and tag block by author
7. Block only tags of specific types (fandoms, relationships, freeforms, etc.)
8. Block fics focused on a list of characters, and/or fics without any tags of a specific type
9. Block every pairing with two characters in it—case insensitive, any order, no matter how many other people are also in the tag
10. Block by number of tags

Summary

“There’s nothing worth saving, Ekko,” She says after a long few moments of silence. Voice apathetic and raspy, as if Jinx hadn’t spoken in years. Holding onto each word because she had little else to grasp. “Not anymore.”

“There’s always something,” Ekko says, voice all soft and aching with far-off want.
