    Summary

    He magicked them dry. “So — this is happening.”

    “No,” she said, mortified, immediately. “No. This was the last time.” She pointed at him. “I hope you enjoyed that, because it’s not happening again.”

    In retrospect, (repeatedly) hooking up with her rival — the son of her mom's least favorite god — was not a good idea, especially not when Annabeth's vowed to beat him in the hero rankings or die trying.

    Summary

    The impossible happened: Will asked Mike to be his boyfriend. Even stranger? Mike said yes.
    That's how it started. A letter, an accidental confession, a Saturday afternoon. And that? That was the easy part.
    Now, what they do - what they are - is secret. Because if anyone finds out... they don't even want to imagine. Lonnie would kill them both on sight. Mike's parents would send him away to some boarding school. They'd never see each other again. They'd be marked forever. Everything would come crashing down around them.
    But they try not to focus on that. They're busy, after all, trying to navigate this new relationship. Kisses, dates, prom, couples' quarrels. And in the meantime, Will has a problem on his hands; a power he needs to learn to control, before it blows up in his face.
    It's a crazy end to their school year - but there's more going on behind the scenes than they realize.

    (This is a sequel to The Red Envelope but you don't necessarily have to have read TRE; this can be read on its own should you wish :) )

    Summary

    Mike pushes into his hands, but Will keeps him still.

    "Ask again," he says. Because he's greedy, and he wants Mike to want him.

    He stares at Will's mouth. "Please."

    "Again."

    El is gone.

    Will tries to figure out how to move on in New York, and Mike follows him. Their apartment is haunted not by ghosts, but by the two of them.

    Or: Catastrophically traumatized boys cling to each other and accidentally figure out how to be close—too close—while moving through their grief.
