Summary
Throughout history many tales would be spun about the gods and their dalliances, both on and off their pious mountain; few such stories existed about the most chaste of their number, Lady Artemis. While wars were waged on the folly of her siblings over beauty and love and power, with songs sung detailing their conquests (romantic or otherwise), Artemis maintained her station above her coven of unwed maidens accordingly. So, it was the only conclusion to follow that when her father, Lord Zeus, should discover how much time she was spending with one nymph in particular, that he would experience a reinvigorated desire to know about his daughter’s....social engagements.
A god of too much time, with far too large an ego (and ample power with which to show it off), sits atop his throne among the mountains, and begins to plot.

Summary
"There is only the sound of Kamoshida’s choked sobs and the click of her heels as she walks away. There will be other days - afternoons when Ryuji stares at her too long, when Akira touches her wrist and looks at her like he knows she’s boiling just underneath the skin; days when Shiho can’t force herself to keep her smile when she winces down the stairs. But for now, there was this. The fear in his eyes, the adrenaline making her heart race and her skin tingle - this would have to be enough.
It would be enough."ann character study of sorts with a side of shiho/ann/akira (a hint of akira/ryuji), and some girlbossery violence against kamoshida.

Summary
"“Oh.” Claude said, his eyes running over the page. “I suppose I never considered you to be especially devout.”
“I wouldn’t say that I am,” corrected Lysithea, quickly pulling the book back towards her. It wasn’t a lie, either. Her relationship with the Goddess was confusing, fluctuating— she utilized the “gifts” bestowed upon her, but would such an ambivalent Goddess allow her children to suffer needlessly? Without need for righteous divine intervention? Her stomach turned at the memory of blank white walls and rooms that were drenched in the thick stench of death, cold wrinkled hands and low voices carrying over the sound of her labored breathing and the metallic clink of scalpels against a bloodied tray."

Summary
"Marcille smiles, catches herself before she laughs; only Farlyn, with her palms dusted with soil and her hair flipping in static tangles around her round cheeks, could take someone like Marcille for a perfect stranger. Only Farlyn, with her kindness whispered slowly, echoing off the cave walls, could bring her here without hesitation.
"I’m Marcille, and I'd like it very much if I could be your friend, Farlyn."" -

Summary
"Her boosters can go full blast for four seconds before the jets risk getting overheated, she can last for ten under heavy fire before MEKA forcibly ejects her. The sound of bullets hitting her visor is a dull echo in her head in the middle of the night, making it impossible to sleep. In dreams, she presses her palms against cool metal, the bullet dents like dimples scattered across her MEKA."
