Summary
With the Summer Olympics less than four months away, Annabeth Chase and her beach volleyball teammate, Piper, are right on track to being invited to represent the United States in Athens. But that level of premiere athletic training doesn't come cheap and Annabeth is running out of options— so when a University administrator reaches out with an unexpected opportunity, she'd be a fool not to leap at it... right?
Suddenly, Annabeth and Percy — a young hotshot swimmer — find themselves at the center of a media charade that dredges up secrets that were supposed to stay buried. With the world watching, Annabeth is forced to face her past and take control of her future as she learns that, sometimes, life is all about playing the long game.

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

Summary
"Every time Eddie Munson ran, he thought of Steve Harrington. Every time he saw a cassette tape or stared at the shoebox hidden in the back of his closet for too long, he remembered his face. He thought of Steve over plates of French toast with whipped cream. He thought of him while he stood in a mirror and flattened his chest until he looked "natural." He thought of him whenever he felt like running.
Steve and 'Betty.' Something he'd never get back."Or:
Steve and Eddie used to be best friends. Then, Eddie had to run. Will an evil nightmare-fueled wizard and impending apocalypse bring them back together?

Summary
There is something in the woods. Steve has faced down enough monsters now to know when something is off, and there’s something in the woods. The dead animal reports are hardly a surprise. The dead teens aren’t really either in a place like Hawkins, but it escalates much faster than Steve expects it to. A dead dog, dead deer, Tommy H.’s dumb face on the Hawkins Post along with the world’s most dishonest obituary, saying what a stand up guy he was, and a credit to the community.
