    Summary

    An oozing, bright purple portal opens, swallowing the entire car whole. Every kid is hit with the same realization at once;

    They have not been good sons.

    Five sons, no dads, and a 2013 Honda Odyssey.

    -

    A story where five kids are flung into the forgotten realms in a quest to rescue their lost dads.

    -

    A fanfic premise that has definitely also been done before, somewhere, but I'm going to write anyhow.

    Summary

    “This,” Artemis began, gesturing Nico up and down. “Is a boy, uncle.”

    Hades nodded, looking incredibly out of place as a mass of darkness in the otherwise serene meadow. “He is,” he agreed and then paused, looking at Nico with a sudden suspicion. “Right-?”

    “Yes,” Nico interrupted flatly. “Still a boy. Just gay.”

    “I was not conflating such things,” Hades muttered. Artemis raised a skeptical brow. “I merely thought I would ask.”

    From behind Artemis, Percy gave a satisfied nod as he nudged Thalia. “Nice. We got a woke uncle.” He raised his fist only for Hades to stare. “Alrighty.” He pointed a thumb behind him. “I guess I’ll go-?”

    “You better not leave me here,” Nico hissed.

    “Bye, Nico!”

    “Percy!” he began, a note of worrying desperation leeching into his tone. This was ridiculous. It wasn’t really happening, right? Right? “Tell Will that I’m being kidnapped!”

    Thalia waved. “No,” she said, following after Percy.

    Nico had never liked her.

    Or

    Apparently, Nico is what other campers are calling ‘a hot mess’ and ‘severely traumatized’ which has somehow led to his father relegating him to the Hunt. Worry not, it makes no sense to Artemis either.

    Summary

    “What’s great about this vending machine,” Riz said tapping a finger against the glass for emphasis, “is that some of the chips are sour cream and onion flavored. Which you can’t find on the lower floors.”

    When Fig said “Cool,” she really did try to mean it. But there was the fact that this looked just like all other vending machines, and her mom’s house had salt and vinegar chips, which were her favorite, and sometimes, if Fig asked, Sandra Lynn would cut up fruit for Fig and her friends. Or, Fig’s old friends, who she didn’t speak to anymore. Who she’d probably drop kick, if given the chance.

    But of course it didn’t matter that Fig didn’t want to talk about it, because Riz was Riz, and he noticed everything. “Are you okay?”

    (basically if we'd gotten to follow fig home on that first night she stayed with gilear in the luxury strongtower apartments. and then also maybe fig also feels lonely and convinces riz to help her steal a car about it)

    Summary

    He walks forward, crouching over the snake, and when it doesn’t stir at all, he works up his courage and pokes it, just a little. Its scales are warm and smooth under his fingertip, and he resists the urge to stroke them. He doubts he could get away with that.

     

    “Janus?” he asks, trying to keep the somewhat hysterical laughter from his voice. “That you?”

     

     

    Thomas didn't know that Janus could turn into an actual snake, but he's glad to hang out with him regardless. More than glad; ecstatic, even, because he's been trying to figure out how to befriend him for ages, and this seems like a good first step. What he can't figure out is why human-Janus is being so weird about it.

    (Alternatively: Janus doesn't trust easily. He wishes he could stop trusting Thomas— it would be so much less terrifying.)
