Summary
"Ah, the sea," sighed Professor Okido, stepping up to the railing beside Wataru. "You know, there's a Johtanese riddle I've always found poignant. 'They say that Lugia only suffers the same traveler to cross her oceans once. How, then, can a traveler return?'"
The answer seemed obvious.
"You fly back," Wataru said.
Or: How does an orphan from a secluded valley in Johto rise to become the first champion of the unified Kanto-Johto region? This is a story of leaving home, finding home, principles, politics, and of course, dragons. This is the story of Lance.

Summary
“... Vox. You can call me Vox.”
Alastor gave an acknowledging hum. “I understand it’s your first time at an establishment like this, is it, Vox?”
“It is, yes.”
“And have you been in a dynamic like this with anyone before?”
“No…” Vincent trailed off, avoiding eye contact once again. He really didn’t like being the inexperienced one.
Alastor seemed to perceive his nerves increasing at this line of questioning, and his already kind and welcoming voice noticeably softened. “Can you try something for me, darling?”
Vincent's stress is getting to him, and he turns to a paid dominant to take the edge off. Alastor is exceptional at making him fall apart, though the effect soon begins to go both ways.
How do professional boundaries hold up when one partner is experiencing true acceptance of his asexuality for the first time, and the other has found the only person to ever make him feel good enough?

Summary
“We missed you, you big baby,” she says, and Alastor laughs wetly, muffled. “You got a lot of explaining to do, but hell, you’re still one of us.”
“Frankly,” Vox says, “if you actually tried to leave, I would lock you up in the basement.”
Valentino sighs affectionately, squeezing Alastor’s hand. “He doesn’t mean that.”
“I very much mean that.”
Alastor wants to say something along the lines of “I would be offended by anything less,” but when he tries to speak, all that comes out, horrifyingly, is a crackly sob. But it just makes Vox’s arms tighten around him, so, whatever. There are worse things.
Or: In a softer timeline, Alastor comes home to the Vees when his seven year sabbatical is up.

Summary
When he grabs Vox again, Vox doesn't come easy—he lashes out blindly with claws and rakes them across Val's cheek, opening a thin gash, and Val grunts as he seizes both of Vox's wrists with his two lower hands and takes hold of Vox's shoulders with his upper ones. Sparks prickle against his skin, sharp and biting, but Vox isn't trying to electrocute him—he's just vibrating like one large livewire, overloading just like the machine beside them.
"No—no, don't fucking—you can't—"
Vox struggles, jerking against Val's grip, breath coming in desperate, labored gasps. Val doesn't let go. Because that was never really the question, was it?
There is no world in which Val lets him go.
Or: Valentino handles Vox's crashout a little differently.

Summary
It's a few days before the second Extermination and Alastor's feeling ready.
A little weird, but ready,
A little warm, but, you know, ready.
Until he discovers that his heat is coming two weeks early, which really puts a wrench in his plans. But, no, everything is fine. Really, it's FINE. All he needs to do is make it through one fight and he's free to handle this stupid, pesky heat. No problem. Adam shouldn't be too hard to handle, he's only one guy.
Everything's going to work out, Alastor's sure of it.
<><><><><><>
When Adam injures Alastor during their fight, it triggers Alastor's heat and, well, everything kind of goes to shit after that.

Who gave Alastor the swivel chair? Who freed him from it and put him at the vanity? Who dragged him several floors down to harass Vox?
Velvette, of course, because if Vox wanted to keep his ex-situationship around, then she's allowed to have some fun too

Summary
“He had planned this particular pitch for over two months, and had finally perfected it. This was probably the most important, and risky, proposal he had ever done. Trying to get the Radio Demon to be his boyfriend. He would have to present his heart on a silver platter, to a cannibal, and hope it didn’t get torn to pieces. Well, go big or go home.”
A rewrite of Vox and Alastor’s backstory where Vox makes a very different kind of offer, and where they actually try to communicate

Summary
“I took Ba Sing Se, not Uncle, and certainly not you; I got us this far. You’re stealing what’s rightfully mine. If anyone should get to see this, it’s me, and you should be grateful I’m here because you couldn’t end the war on your own!”
The words are tremulous with emotion, rushing and almost painful for how they scrape past her teeth, and still, even she knows they sound petulant—a child’s concern. But she is loud, and more than that, she’s right. All Azula has ever wanted is the respect of standing at her father’s side and—pitifully—the love inherent to the honor. She can’t lose it when she’s this close.
But then Azula’s father steps towards her, and his fist is wreathed in fire, the temperature of his flame so hot it’s blue—her blue—where it’s closest to his skin.
Azula hardly has time to process what’s going to happen before his palm meets her cheek in a slap.
//
The day before Sozin’s Comet returns, Azula finds that Zuko is not the only child her father is willing to strike, and Azula’s destiny changes.

Summary
A collection of snippets from the lives of the Greek gods, with little regard for continuity.
I'm open to suggestions, so feel free to leave a comment with any ideas you may have. (Or with a question or opinion about a snippet I've already written. Or if you want to discuss Greek Mythology headcanons with me. Or for any other reason.)
While I don't write explicit content, anything that happens in Greek Mythology is fair game for being mentioned in these snippets, including a wide variety of less-than-consensual relationships. Please keep that in mind before deciding to read.

Summary
Athena scoops up a handful of sand, letting it slide through her fingers in a crude imitation of an hourglass. She’s been sitting on the beach — or what passes for a beach on craggy Ithaca — for the past hour, watching the waves crash against the rocks. The tide’s coming in. If she doesn’t move soon, the sea will catch her, will wash over her and drag her out into deeper, colder waters. She wouldn’t mind. She could just float for a while. Like a jellyfish, drifting and aimless, rocked to and fro by the waves. Remarkable animals, jellyfish. They have survived for eons without a brain.
It’s a comforting thought, and a terrifying one.
***
Six weeks on from God Games, Athena is forced to contend with the fact that getting back to normal will take longer than she anticipated.

Summary
Athena's been hurt, much more thoroughly than she realized was possible. For the first time in her immortal life, she is fighting against her own body and mind, and she doesn't know how to win.
Odysseus is home. After two more weeks on sea, a fight with 108 suitors and reunited with his family, he’s quietly accepted that even a desperate prayer won’t bring his former mentor to come back. Little does he know, for two weeks, it’s all Athena’s been trying to do.
Or, what if after God Games, Athena doesn’t wake up in the infirmary? What if it’s up to a few mortals to take care of the goddess that just collapsed in their palace, looking like she should very much be dead?
