    Summary

    Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.

    “Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
    “Newton?”
    “What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
    “Dia-what?”
    “Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
    “...”
    “Next.”

    It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.

    “Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”

    Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

    Summary

    The fact of the matter was that nobody had convinced Leo to leash train Festus, he’d made that decision all by himself based on one single off-hand comment. Actually, multiple people had told him he was crazy for even trying, but Leo was stubborn, Festus was remarkably smart, and before too long, Leo was one of those weirdos on the internet running errands with a cat. 94.8% of the time this was fine. Better than fine, actually.

    Unfortunately, Festus was a very strong 22-pound behemoth of a cat, and if he decided that he wanted to chase a bird, Leo’s feeble, distracted grip on a leash was not going to stop him.

    Then, wonderfully, miraculously, Leo heard that familiar obnoxious yodel, and he whirled around on his heel, heart leaping into his throat. “Festus!”

    Festus meowed happily at him, and Leo was so relieved that he almost missed the fact that he was being held in the very sturdy arms of a very handsome man. Hi there. I think this gentleman belongs to you.”
    ---
    Between the world's most awkward meet-cute, a well-meaning best friend, a disaterous date, and a cat determinde to make him look bad, Leo learns that sometimes the best parts of life are found in the failure rates.

    Summary

    Leo rolled his eyes and turned back to his game. Then he spied a little purple flower in his inventory and pulled it out to show Jason. “What do you think of this?”

    “Uh, it looks like an allium.”

    “Yeah, but where did it come from?” Leo demanded. “Because I didn't pick this thing. I don’t even know where they spawn.”

    “Flower forests and meadows. There's actually a meadow not too far from here,” Jason reported. “And if you didn't pick it, where do you think it came from?”

    “I think someone's playing a prank on me. A very weird prank,” Leo admitted. “I've just been finding flowers everywhere recently, so I think someone's sneaking up on me while I'm AFK and throwing them at me.”

    “Maybe the game is giving them to you, then,” Jason suggested. “Maybe the game thinks you need things as pretty as you.”

    ***

    Leo has been tormented by a lot of things over the course of his life, just like all demigods. However, he was fairly certain he was the only one being regularly accosted with pixels and petals.

    Summary

    Five times Klein encountered Leonard's poetry, and one time it reached him.

    "Like water," Leonard dictated aloud as he wrote, brows pinched in concentration, "moving fast..."
    "Rushing," Klein offered up as he hid his face behind his cards, thinking that surely it wouldn't be too intrusive to hint at the alliterative rushing river.
    Leonard paused a second and crossed out his previous line with a noise of assent before he dictated again alongside his writing: "like water, rushing fast..."

    Summary

    Kim Dokja just wanted to sing ONE sad song in peace.
    Now he’s somehow on national television, surrounded by glitter, dyed hair and people who take eyeliner very seriously.
    He’s not panicking.
    (He’s definitely panicking.)

    Alternatively: Kim Dokja on an idol survival show. That’s it. That’s the disaster.
