    Summary

    Her newest idea is her best yet. For every insult Galinda throws her way, Elphaba responds with a compliment. Her shoes, her hair, her sparkly eyeshadow- Elphaba will find something to praise. It throws the blonde off her game every time, making her blush and stutter. It’s genius.

     

    Or: Elphaba accidentally wins over the most complimented girl in school by…complimenting her???

    Summary

    Aliens. These were actual, real-life aliens.

    He’d realized it pretty much as soon as they walked in. But he hadn’t processed it until now.

    Meta abilities were rare. They started with that glowing baby in China and seemed to appear at random all over the world. None of those abilities were like this though. Nobody’s entire body changed like this, let alone a whole group of people changing the same way. That detail alone made it clear that these things could not be human at all. They were alien to Earth itself.

    Shinsou Hitoshi had just been trying to avoid his shitty foster home and now he was caught up in an alien abduction with eight other people. What was going to happen to them?

    Summary

    In the nineth year of the Trojan War, Odysseus stumbles upon a little boy in the forests of Troy. With Achilles refusing to fight and the Achaeans at a distinct disadvantage, he doesn't have the time or energy to deal with bringing a Trojan child back to camp and the uproar that will likely follow it.

    It really is too bad that Odysseus is nothing if not a victim to his fate-- and to the tear-filled eyes of a boy not much younger than his son.

    or: my take on an astyanax lives au with inspiration taken from the events of 'the horse and the infant' and the iliad (though, you don't need to have read it to understand what's happening).

    Summary

    Between Poseidon's storms that haunted him for years and the lightning strike that killed the rest of his men, Odysseus wasn't lying when he said he isn't scared of the water-- it's the thunderstorms that bring him to his knees. Even the safety of his own palace isn't enough to soothe him and he finds himself praying to the gods for the lightning to stop. Of course, that's when Zeus shows up.

    or, based on the regressuary prompt: character a regresses from fear.

    [agere is a non-sexual coping mechanism where someone regresses to a younger mindset]
