Summary
The future was in reach.
Experiments with slipspace drives offered a chance for humanity to break free from the chains of the Solar System and assume its proper place in the broader galaxy. Nobody could have expected that something would follow those vessels through.
Terrible monsters now slip through the gaps opened by those wanton experiments, wreaking havoc across the globe, and the taint of the Void, the place between worlds, spreads further every day. The only ones standing between humanity and annihilation are Pilots - brave souls willing to give up everything, undergoing harrowing link surgeries to pilot the latest generation of mobile frames. The cruelties they face are not found on the field alone - abusive superiors, systemic dehumanization, and the relentless pressures of war make it all too easy for one to succumb to the call of the Void.
I should know - I did, after all.

Summary
Her mission was simple: she was to secure the artifact and return it to her cloister. If she managed to do that, she would win the respect of the Mother Superior, her memories would be restored... and most importantly, she would make her goddess proud.
Wrenched away in the moments before her victorious return, she's been forced to grapple with the impossible reality of being saved by someone who was meant to be her greatest foe. She should have slipped away at the first opportunity, slitting the apostate's throat as she went.
Instead, she lingered. And for some reason, it felt... right.

Summary
Annabeth Chase is someone that matters: she's the favored daughter of Athena, a prodigal architect, and a certifiable genius. By all accounts, her future is bright. The reality is far less glamorous: between the expectations of her mother, the great machinations of the Olympian oligarchs, and her own doubts, Annabeth is beginning to buckle under the pressure.
Now tasked with a vital job handed down by Athena herself, Annabeth is left on the streets of New Athens with only three assets: her mind, her oldest friend, and a motley crew of mercenaries led by the ever too likable Percy Jackson.

Summary
Rhea Avila is a long way from home.
A volunteer militant in an international brigade fighting in the Spanish Civil War, her home country of Greece is a distant memory in the killing fields of the Iberian peninsula. She came to kill fascists, and gets more than she bargained for when an illithid nautiloid snatches her from the frontlines, and unceremoniously dumps her on the unknown shores of an unknown land in an unknown world. Discombobulated, lost, and terrified, Avila must embark on a treacherous journey she did not ask for to track down a missing comrade, find a way home, and confront her own skeletons along the way. All the while, forces familiar and new alike align against her and her newfound allies to eradicate any small glimmer of hope they might try to cling to.
For a woman so embittered and so cynical, such things are rare, and precious, and heartbreaking.
