Summary
"Beneath the shaggy haircut lay two gleaming rubies, piercing Kaveh with their precise stare. The child's eyes were shockingly crimson, hindered only by the deadness of his stare. Perhaps it was the angle, but Kaveh's eyes saw nothing but a sharp curiosity – there was no fear to be seen in those eyes, no childish laughter – there was something analytical, cutting, almost, about his gaze – it spoke of a sincerity in nothing but his interest. He took Kaveh apart and put him back together, taking in the intrinsicities of his person, his body language, his appearance, the vision at his hip – and then they glossed over him without a word. He'd lost interest."
or,
four-hundred years after dottore comes of age, and a year after he no longer exists as a child, zandik returns to his roots.

Vox's Easy Guide To A Better Past And Future: Starting With The Self! by aster_sea

Summary
Following the events of his failed ascension, Vox isn't doing too hot. When confronted with the opportunity to turn his life around, he takes it with minimal hesitation -- only this miracle isn't what it seems.
(Or, PAST!Vox accidentally winds up in the future.)
Except:
“Well,” Vox chuckled, “how do I explain this? You're… Vincent, correct?”
Vincent stumbled back, eyes wide in a painfully pathetic display of emotion. It was a far cry from his persona of a slightly ruffled, irritated businessman. It was awful, how easily he let his composure shatter. Vincent narrowed his eyes. “How did you know that?”
Vox grinned sharply. “I have my ways, Vincent. You're wondering how you got here – of course you are! Well, you can call me… Vox.”
“Vox?” Vincent echoed. “Voice? How very egocentric.”
He smiled, as if satisfied with Vox's audacity. “I like your type of man. Pray tell, why have you kidnapped me?”

Summary
“Say, newbie. What's your name?”
He needed to get his act together. He was in a rough, scary wolf-cult. Act tough. “Tell me yours first.”
Nailed it!
The other man smirked. “Ballsy, are we?”
O-kay, maybe that was a mistake. “Uhm…”
He changed his demeanour again. Jay was definitely out of his depth. This guy was weird. “Just pulling your leg, man. I'm Cinder.”
“Oh,” he managed. “I'm… Jay. Jay Walker.”
His – Cinder's expression lit up. “You'd fit right in,” he laughed. “But usually we go for more serious crimes.”
or:
Jay joins up with the Wolf Gang, makes some new friends, and unlocks his true potential again, not necessarily in that order.

[Soon,] it promises. [First, your reward.]
“Reward.”
It doesn't reply.
“Sure,” He laughs, putting on an air of false confidence. “Hit me. What is it? Diamonds? A fancy title? A trophy?”
The Eye crinkles, and this time he's sure it's laughing at him.
[No,] it croons. [Your reward is Memory.]
And then Joel is drowning.

Summary
“You haven't told me about you.”
Etho pauses for a moment. “What would you like to know?”
“The normal things people know about each other. What we have is – I dunno, really – but I reckon it warrants me knowing the basic stuff.”
“Okay,” he agrees. “Let's play a game. Twenty questions.”
“Twenty questions,” Joel repeats incredulously. “Okay. Sure. Why not.”
Or,
Joel and Etho know everything about each other, except what really matters. They talk, and sort a few things out. Maybe now they can be more than soulmates.

Summary
Day 2: Healing in Breaking
It wasn't like he didn't want to get up. He wanted to see his children. He wanted to visit Meg, and he wanted to hunt with his twin—something he hadn't done in centuries. He wanted to hang out with Lityerses at the Waystation, or take him up on that coffee he'd sworn up and down wasn't a date despite his face flushing as red as his bandana. All of that sounded great, really, it was just the getting up and doing it part that had Apollo hesitating.
Moving from his bed meant leaving the comfort the blankets provided, the safety they built by forming walls of fluff to shield him from the outside world. And the outside world was not a fun place, especially not on Olympus.
