Summary
When people are desperate they turn to faith. Panem has done a good job creating a truly secular society, stamping out the religions of the past, but nothing can stop new gods from rising.
-
Or: When Gaea curses Percy to live in a world without the gods, he winds up in District 4 and is chosen as tribute for the 70th Hunger Games. From there, everything just kind of spirals.

Summary
*Sequel to Achilles Come Down *
Max Verstappen has made a name for himself in the F1 world after his first three years on the grid. For some it is in a shining light, for others it is in an aggressive and dangerous way. After his past has slowly come to light, those on the grid are now starting to see the cracks in this boy, and they will do whatever they can to prove that they care and are willing to help. But promises are hard to keep, and with Max's biggest threat looming in the background, it's going to take dedicated work from the others to show that tough love isn't the only way.

Summary
Ed was stuck at this table with this toad and he was empathetically not pleased. The pink thing was simpering at him, making pointed comments about his intelligence and breeding. Ed would have strangled the bitch if he hadn’t already given his bodily control over to Truth as soon as he’d sat down.
(Truth had a thing about getting to pick what food they wanted at lunch, something about getting the full experience, and Ed was, for once, glad he’d obliged because Truth’s neutral continence was the only thing keeping his limbs steady.)
“Of course,” she said sweetly, “If I was the teenage professor of a useless branch of washed-out magic, I suppose my qualifications wouldn’t have to be very high either, would they?”
And their fork snapped in half.
“What,” Truth breathed with Ed’s mouth, no accent at all, “did you just call my subject?”

Edward Elric bodyshares with an eldritch horror and reluctantly agrees to teach alchemy to ickle snot-nosed wizards. Naturally, it's a disaster.

Summary
In the Formula One world, every driver belongs to a tightly bonded pack, where alphas lead, betas stabilize, and omegas are nurtured, loved and protected. No omega is ever told to leave the pack room — to be cast out is to be cast out of the pack itself.
Max Verstappen learned that the hard way. At seventeen, wide-eyed and unpresented, he joined the grid eager to find his place. But instead of welcome, he was judged, dismissed, and pushed aside. The breaking point came after a heated clash with Charles Leclerc.
Tempers flared, words were thrown, and in a moment of anger, pack alpha Lewis Hamilton told Max to leave. The command couldn’t be taken back, and Max obeyed silently — never returning, never stepping near the pack room again.
And no one knew the truth. Max wasn’t an alpha. Not a beta. He was a omega, suppressing his scent, instincts, and biology just to survive.

Summary
For six seasons, the Formula 1 paddock is convinced George Russell is painfully, impressively single.
Then he walks in holding hands with a woman in a plain white shirt, denim shorts and scuffed Adidas sneakers and the narrative detonates.
Max Verstappen doesn’t look like a WAG.
Doesn’t act like one and doesn’t seem remotely impressed by the chaos she’s just caused.
George, meanwhile, is doing his best to balance a championship campaign with the sudden realization that the entire world has Opinions about his girlfriend.As cameras linger, narratives spiral and assumptions pile up, one thing becomes clear: Formula 1 has no idea what to do with Max Verstappen and she’s perfectly fine with that.
“Are you nervous?” George asks, his thumb brushing over her knuckles as he laces their fingers together.
“No.” Max said honestly. Then, after a beat:
“I just didn’t realize I was a rare species or that you’d apparently discovered me in the wild.”George laughs under his breath.
Or a Rustappen WAG female!Max nobody asks for 😛

Summary
“Listen,” Oscar whirls around on Max, no doubt he’s wearing a borderline crazed expression as the next few sentences come hurtling out. “Luke cheated on me with some model and so obviously I broke up with him but now he thinks I’m like still hung up on him and came to this party for him, which by the way is absolutely not the truth, but anyway I told him I moved on and have a boyfriend, which I definitely don’t, but then he asked me who and I pointed to you.”
Max looks a little lost, a lot taken back — but not angry? So that’s at least a win.
“Can you please pretend to be my boyfriend?” Oscar blurts out.
Or; Oscar, desperate to show his cheating ex that he's moved on, asks their uni's heartthrob, Max Verstappen, to pretend to be his boyfriend.

Summary
“Like I said moron, let’s talk. There is no need for violence. Look, Isagi Yoichi has rejoined his parents, so calm down and stop acting like a stupid child whose candy got stolen.”
True to his words, Isagi was now happily chatting with his parents, a few friends surround them but no Rin nearby.
Good enough. Shidou feels he can breathe now. A pep in his step as he walks towards a nearby table.
“Finee~ but make it quick, I am a very busy man four-eyes.”
He follows his former student onto a secluded table, further away from prying ears.
Always straight to the point, Ego breaks the ice first:
“Break up with Isagi Yoichi, Shidou Ryusei. Do it, or I will do it for you.”
-
or: Ego gets pressured by the JFA to pull a marketing stunt unless they want their funding for the upcoming U-20 league cut. They want Blue Locks’ Ace, Isagi Yoichi, to date the infamous younger Itoshi. But Isagi is 18 now and nobody gets to tell him what to do or who to date. In a desperate attempt at mutiny, he seeks the help of the devil himself. Who else is qualified to help him more than the guy that pisses everybody off?Series

Summary
Max Verstappen entered the F1 world too early in the eyes of many. A reckless, dangerous driver, the others are slow to welcome him, instead shunning and ignoring the warning signs that blatantly flash bright. Even the media casts a shadow over the brilliance that the young boy holds inside. As his early years continue on, the grid will learn the hard way just how much pressure Max is under, and will be pressed to try and salvage anything they can before it's too late.

Summary
“Max!” Kimi perked up immediately.
“Yo, kiddo. Nice drive. Didn’t crash into anyone, that’s an improvement.”
George instantly tensed, crossing his arms looking at Max like he just murdered Toto. “He did a lot more than simply avoid crashing, Verstappen. His tire management was superb.”
“Relax, Papa Bear. I’m not insulting your cub.”
Big mistake. Just as the word "cub" came out, Kimi hid his face in Max's chest and clung to him like a baby koala.
“…Mama,” he mumbled.
The room went silent.
“WHAT?” Max blinked.
“You smell nice. You’re my Mama now.”
