    Summary

    This might be the last story I ever tell. Definitely the last story I will ever type on this laptop, as I plan to chuck this cursed device into the nearest pool of acid the very second I send this draft to Calliope for proofreads and erase this whole episode from my memory. Hermes said it would do nothing to destroy any of the actual content on it, as everything is “stored in the Cloud” nowadays, but go for it man, get it out of your system. Lately, everybody’s been telling me to go for it man, get it out of your system. They’ve also been walking on eggshells and keep giving me their therapists’ contact information.

    Wow, Apollo, you may be wondering. What is this tale about? Can it really be more traumatic than your six month road trip across America, bound to a pipsqueak slave-master and fighting off such distinguished enemies as real estate tycoons, giant snakes, horse-fuckers, the specters of all your past regrets and/or mistakes, fungal acne and your toxic ex?

    Yes. It can. You can stop trying to hide your glee, reader.

    Apollo thought his trials were over. Well, Apollo thought wrong.

    Titans Win AU.

    The more things change...

    In which Percy becomes a god, the gods become useless (er, more than their baseline), and a lot of bullshit remains pretty familiar.

    Summary

    "Because she didn’t think that hating Hyacinthus was even remotely possible. He was too good, too loving and kind. She was sure that their siblings couldn’t truly hate him as much as Hyacinthus or they believed they did.
    Because he had been born to be loved; it was what killed him in the end after all. He would be loved until the moment he died" —apollumi, chapter 12.

    Summary

    She was the youngest daughter. She did not matter and she was not seen. It was others in her family that had been born to be seen. Her oldest brother, destined to be king; the second son, destined to wait for his turn; the third, who could not aspire for much; and the youngest, who had the great misfortune of being born the most beautiful of them all.
