    Summary

    It's the end of a long, brutal and unsuccessful military campaign in the Mortal Realm. Ares is exhausted, frustrated, and longs to be back with Aphrodite and his children. But the Ares that comes back to Olympus isn't himself. His family find themselves dealing with the aftermath of defeat, and Ares needs them now more than ever.

    [This story takes place following a war, but is in no way meant to be a portrayal of the veteran experience or PTSD. Rather, it aims to take the tension between Ares' work and home life as the setting for his struggles with self-worth, self-understanding, and anger management. I wanted to look into the darker side of his inner world, and the potential problems it could create for him and those he loves. This fic does therefore deal with battles with mental health, as well as some frustration from a loving family who doesn't see the whole picture yet. But it is also about healing and learning to trust yourself and your loved ones. The boy's gonna be OK. Only chapters 2, 5 and 10-12 have smut, but I've marked it explicit and leaned into the porn tags because Ares' sexual relationship with Aphrodite is such a key theme and the core element of his healing. Wound description in Chapters 1 and 3.]

    Summary

    When an old classmate of Harvey reaches out after a decade, he's reasonably suspicious about the circumstances. But when she calls in a favor from when they were in law school, he has no choice but to accept her request: babysit some of her pro-bono clients who are sitting in the 13th precinct until she can catch a flight to New York and take over.

    It should be simple enough- a few hours to make sure his client keeps his head down, his mouth shut, and out of trouble until she arrives. Easy, right?

    Enter; Dean Winchester.

    Summary

    ''Well, why wouldn't I when it's true, isn't it? We all know what I did, what I did to Aslan. All the Narnians know,'' Edmund swallowed thickly. ''That I'm a traitor. I don't understand why I was given the title of King when I don't deserve it. I shouldn't be here, Peter, I'm starting to wonder if it's even fair that I'm alive,''

    ''Shut up,'' Peter said, or snapped. Voice cracking, even as the King tried to steady it, and the elder's eyes closed in an attempt to block out Edmund's hurt expression, ''You listening? Shut your mouth! And don't you dare open it again if it's to say that you shouldn't be alive. No, better yet — don't you ever say that you shouldn't be here again, Ed,''

    ''I'm sorry,''

    ''Heaven forbid you let anyone else speak, you bonehead,'' The elder chastised him. ''Listen here, I don't want you to be sorry. What I want is for you to get that nonsense out of your head. That stuff about you thinking we don't want you here, that your sacrifice meant nothing, when it meant everything. I want you to get that all out of your head,''

    Summary

    1010. It was barely a glimpse – startling eyes the colour of dark wintergreen leaves met his from across the hall. Edmund had met women before who'd turn their heads and pretend they were interested in the hope that it would interest him. He did not recognise the woman, yet at the same time she was eerily familiar. Perhaps it was the way she moved, with the grace of a snow-cat, with the self-assured steps of a warrior.
    She moved like on born to kill.
    Everything had stilled, suspended between them in a single breath.
    And something flickered in those pretty eyes. Something near recognition, and something that he almost would have said was fear.

    During Narnia's Golden Age, a new threat rises to challenge the Kings and Queens of Narnia. And an old threat that Edmund had hoped to never see again.

    Summary

    On the final day of the Golden Age the four Kings and Queens of old disappeared. There were many rumors in the wake of their disappearance, some said they died, some said they ran way or were pulled to another world that needed them more, and some said they were drawn back to Spar Oom in War Drobe. But what if they hadn't, what if they had stepped through the stand of pine into the ruins of the old home? What if the Pevensies at the height of the Golden Age were sent forward in time to help Prince Caspian?

    In which Trumpkin finds something other than four English school children in the ruins of Cair Paravel, the Pevensies mourn for what has been lost, and Caspian tries to not become a younger shadow of his uncle.
