    Summary

    Will Solace has only ever had one goal: to become one of the renowned healers of Asclepius School of Medicine. But his academic journey at Olympus Academy has been nothing short of disastrous, and Will finds himself in need of a letter of recommendation.

    He has successfully clawed his way into private tutorship with Professor Chiron, a letter of recommendation in his sights—that is, until the illustrious healer dies.

    With Professor Chiron in the Underworld, Will is desperate to venture after him. Because his recommendation could hold Will's very future in his now incorporeal hands.

    If only Will can convince the resident son of Hades to help him in his endeavour.

    Summary

    Something grabs at the back of his coat and suddenly he’s flying, pulled up out of the water to land in a sodden heap in a small rowboat, the world’s most ungainly fish. He scrabbles away from his rescuer, expecting to feel pain again, his father’s men back to finish the job. Instead there’s a boy with light brown skin and grey eyes, the most handsome face he’s ever seen.

    As he casts around, confused, he finds himself looking into a pair of boundless dark eyes, a pale face cold as canal water. “Wylan Van Eck?” the man asks, his voice like rust, his tone as formal as if they’re being introduced at some banquet. Wylan is too startled to do anything but nod.

    Pekka Rollins and Jan Van Eck have made a deal. Kaz Brekker wants to sabotage it. What better way than to take Van Eck's son hostage on his way to music school?

    Meanwhile, Jesper wants the cute merchling they've kidnapped to smile at him, and Wylan just wants to survive the night.

    Summary

    “You’ve been stalling,” Jesper realized.

    Wylan flinched, chewing on his bottom lip. “I’ve been trying to recreate it,” he stubbornly repeated, his face smoothing over with remarkable practice, and it would have been a good lie.

    It would have been, if Jesper hadn’t grown up around jurda fields and understood precisely how to take each blossom apart. If Jesper hadn’t been a curious boy once, splitting each stem to understand how each flower bloomed beneath his mother’s touch – before grief had turned question into longing, and longing into restlessness.

    This wasn’t the plan: they were supposed to save Wylan, not kill him. But he’d seen what the parem had done, and the secret of it couldn’t leave this room.

    ------------------

    Or, the AU where Wylan is responsible for jurda parem, Jan Van Eck hires Kaz to rescue him from the Ice Court, and Jesper takes aim at Wylan.

    Summary

    AU where Jesper replaces one of the "bodyguards" on the boat with Wylan.

    Summary

    When Wylan fled for his life, he hadn't expected to end up working in the service of King Nikolai. He had expected to be blackmailed in working in the Grisha workshop, working on a weapon to defeat the dreaded Shu super soldiers. He especially hadn't expected his partner would be a charming fabrikator that would steal away his heart one conversation at a time. If Wylan only could read his soulmark, he would know if they were destined to grow old together or not.

    A what-if story with Wylan fleeing to Ravka. With Jesper attending the Little Palace and being able to use his powers. With two boys falling in love no matter the setting.
