Summary
“You’re fucking with us,” Malevola finally speaks, realization dawning on her. On the screen, Courtney can see her squint, looking at her like she’s trying to find any hint of a lie or joke in the depths of her soul. If anyone had the power to do it, it would be her anyway.
She wouldn’t find it even if she tried though, and that thought alone is enough to make the heat in Courtney’s cheeks dust them with a color the Z-Team has never seen on her before. When she still doesn’t say another word, doesn’t confirm or deny the growing suspicions, another gasp comes from Alice, like she’s finally discerned what the hell is going on. “Shit. You’ve never had—”
“No,” Courtney declares at last, exasperated, and she closes her eyes in lieu of vanishing completely. “I’ve never had sex, okay? There.”

Four times Robert and Courtney don't do it, and the one time they do.
Or, the one where Invisigal is a virgin.

Summary
The last thing she sees before the roof begins to cave in is a blur of blue accompanied by the sound of metal ringing under impact. Her eyes are squeezed shut as she cowers with her arms instinctively over her head, still holding her breath until the pressure in her chest forces her to exhale. An eternity passes though, before she finally opens her eyes and looks up to see the force that stopped her from being crushed flat in an inferno, debris on his back.
In all honesty, she’d rather the fire had taken her as a victim. But it didn’t.
She squints her eyes, knowing he can see her from inside the suit now. Finally, after what seems like eons, she musters the only thing she can. “How the fuck did you see me?”
“Heat sensors,” he says, augmented voice deadpan and robotic, but still so recognizable—at least to Courtney. “I’m not exactly interested in rebuilding my suit from scratch again.”
Well, fuck.

It’s been seven months since Robert and Mandy told the Z-Team they were dating, six months since Courtney left SDN, and five and twenty three days since Robert and Courtney last spoke.
Or, the Blonde Blazer romance route is still somehow an Invisigal romance route.

Summary
“Did you know,” Hades starts, his left hand shoved into his pocket in an attempt to seem casual with this very attractive stranger, “that peonies represent a lot of rather interesting things?”
“Like what?” she asks him.
“You know,” he says, “bashfulness, good fortune and honor...Strong attraction between two strangers. The usual.”
“Peonies sound like they carry a lot of baggage,” she says.
“Don’t we all?”

Famous Tech mogul, Hades Olympus, finds himself yet again entangled in the niceties of high society.

That is, until Monday morning, when she's in his office with a new hire pass hanging around her neck.
A Human Lore Olympus AU.

Summary
The change will be gradual, slow and painstaking, but there will be change nonetheless. The only things she can’t see changing are the pleasant weight in her chest, the undeniable feelings she has for Hades, or how content she is. Things morph into different things all the time, but this—the feeling of Hades' hand in her own—this will remain the same.
—There are things about Hades and Persephone's relationship that they never thought to address before—or maybe they just didn't want to. But in the face of adversity, they must learn to navigate certain things—elitism, snide whispers, and an old friend—together.

Summary
Last night Courtney dreamed about her philosophy professor going down on her. This morning she has to sit through his lecture on Kierkegaard's concept of despair without making eye contact.
The problem is multifold: One, she's failing his class. Two, he's probably dating a colleague. Three, she's pretty sure her brain is trying to torture her by making the dreams progressively more detailed.
She definitely should not stay after to beg for academic help. But she does anyway, because apparently self-preservation isn't her strong suit.
(University AU, no powers, just poor life choices and some good sexual tension.)

Summary
“It is me,” Link said. “It’s always me. I am the Crown,” he sounded angry. “You can’t separate me from the Crown, I’ve tried,” he said. And then he said, “And you kissed me, so don’t pretend like it’s— it's just me.”
“I know I kissed you!” Zelda said, her fists grasping the grass. “I said I was sorry.”
“I don’t want you to be sorry,” he said. And then, quieter, “I want you to do it again.”

Summary
Hades paused, looking over his son once more. His eyes flickered over to his girls laying on the bed, then back to his son. He settled in deeper into his chair, holding his son a little tighter as his lips became tightened with soon spoken secrets, like a sinner in a confessional.
“I feel like I need to be honest with you, Zagreus. A man to man talk. Can I do that?”
A slow blink of small eyelids.

Hades has a talk with his newborn son. Written for the "touch this foolish heart" universe.
