    Summary

    He was an outsider, but instead of being put on a pedestal by himself, he was grouped together with the 7 and held at their feet. He wasn’t singular. He was another member in a quest he never wanted to be apart of.

    Things only got worse when the war ended. Jason wasn’t Greek or Roman enough to fit in anywhere, he wasn’t special, he wasn’t the best swordsman, he wasn’t the most powerful.

    He was mediocre. Old news. Stagnant in all the wrong ways.

    —————

    Or, Jason has some thoughts about being an outsider, an “other”

    Summary

    The quest to earn Jason’s first college recommendation letter had gone almost too well. The second one was currently trying to make up for this by being a massive pain in the ass.

    After trips to three different sacred libraries and hours of stumbling through a cave system in the dark, Piper should have wanted nothing more than to have this stupid quest over and done with.

    Except, well… the completion of their quest required them to find the Mnemosyne—the Fountain of Memory. And considering no one had ever bothered to fix the mess that the Mist had made of Leo and Piper’s memories, or the mess that the Queen of the Heavens had made of Jason’s… maybe there were things Piper wanted just a little more than going home.

    Summary

    she catches a glimpse of his eye before he nervously tugs tighter on his baseball cap. Murmuring thanks as he darted off to his seat rapidly. “Percy?”

    Percy keeps scooping without any attention. “Hmm?”

    “Can you confirm for me that the boy with the baseball cap is a Cyclops or if I need to get my eyes checked?” Percy looks up, eyes darting to the looming figure in a baseball cap and low and behold, makes contact with his eye - the one and only eye in fact.

    Summary

    As Nico says the words, Jason has that feeling again. The feeling that Jason has when something’s familiar, like he did when he first looked at Nico’s face.

    “Nico, have you told me that before?”

    Jason’s sure that no one’s told him that since he was found at the Grand Canyon. No one’s given him comforting words like this, not Piper, not Leo. Not anyone.

    “Maybe.”

    “I remember it,” Jason furrows his brows. He tries to think back when he first heard the words that Nico just said, where he heard the first call that became an echo. Jason rubs his eyes; a headache might be coming his way from trying to think that hard about things he can’t possibly remember. “Gods, I wish I could remember it.”

    Nico nods, but he’s frowning.

    “I wish you could too.”

    Summary

    “You didn’t end up blowing out the candles earlier,” Piper explains, sitting on the side of his table. “It’s still your birthday.”

    --

    The first and only time Jason celebrates his birthday—albeit quietly, only amongst him & Piper—ends up to be the same day Percy & Annabeth fall into Tartarus. This fic explores that; mainly guilt, the idea of what you "should be," and most importantly, a Piper insistent in her way of trying to brighten his day. And, of course, a little bit of loving someone like the world (but 'failing' because it's not the type of love it's expected to be).

    Summary

    When Grover first caught a whiff of Mr. Jackson’s scent, he knew something was up.

    Sure, the man looked normal enough from Grover’s brief glimpse of him through the windshield as Mrs. Jackson’s Toyota Prius trundled up the long driveway. He had sunburnt shoulders and was still wearing a pair of bright yellow bib-and-brace oilskins, like he’d just come back from his job on the fishing trawler.

    But once the car got close and Grover caught Mr. Jackson’s scent, all of Grover’s fur stood on end.

    Because beyond the sweat, salt, and dead fish he could pick up, there was a strangely synthetic human smell. It was sort of like how Fanta smelt like oranges. Which was to say - and a sharp stab of anxiety wormed its way into Grover’s heart at the thought - Mr. Jackson smelt like he was a fake human. Was Mr. Jackson a monster in disguise?

    Summary

    Sally hums a familiar tune to herself as she mixes the ingredients together in a large bowl watching the thick dough morph from a tannish hue to one of bright blue.

    Blue chocolate chip cookies. Made possible by two drops of blue food dye.

    It might seem silly to some. To turn something like chocolate chip cookies the color blue. But to Sally it’s not silly. Not silly in the slightest.

    For the blue food dye sitting on her kitchen counter serves more than anything to remind her of who she is.

    Blue. The color of her resistance. The color of their resistance.

    Summary

    “I came after church,” Ronan says eventually. “You didn’t answer.”
    “I wasn’t there,” Adam replies. “I was at work.”
    Ronan squints at Adam. “Never used to work on Sunday mornings.”
    Of course Ronan keeps Adam’s fucking schedule in the back of his mind. He’s odd and devoted like that. “My hours changed.”
    “So tell them to change them back.” And Adam knows Ronan knows. Ronan thinks something is up and is prodding at it just to piss Adam off, circling him and backing him closer and closer to the corner. He feels heat climb up the back of his neck like an insect in the dead of summer, and tries to imagine ice water dousing him.
    Adam grits his teeth. “It doesn’t work like that.” He’s fortunate that he has a job at all, he can’t afford to be particular about hours, especially with how long he spends at school, anyway. “Don’t be an ass.”
    ~
    Adam loses his job at the factory. Adam gets a job at the local supermarket. He keeps it a secret. Everything's going to be fine.

    Summary

    "he was crying again; he could feel the wetness on his cheeks. she swiped the tears with her thumbs, and he could almost believe she loved him. 'aren’t you scared of me?'

    she huffed a laugh. 'of course not, peeta. you’d never hurt me.' he opened his mouth to argue that he had hurt her in so many ways, but suddenly her lips were pressed lightly against his. his eyes screwed shut, a hand tangling in her hair. he didn’t realize until that very moment that that was exactly what he needed. he drew her close, breathing deeply through his nose for what felt like the first time all night."

    or, peeta is plagued by nightmares after his time in the capitol, each worse than the last. after a particularly awful one, katniss is there to comfort him—with her arms and, eventually, her lips.

    [hurt/comfort, exploration, virgin!everlark, and katniss and peeta being very in love and happy and silly together].

    Summary

    "Where's Jason?"
    Not quite the last words Leo expected himself to utter. He thought he'd go out with a bang (literally, after the battle against Gaea) and maybe with a phrase straight out of a corny action movie.
    But how could he have ever expected this?
    Even as he spoke the two words, they tore at his throat, ripping through his gut like a serrated blade. Maybe he didn't actually die, but he was certain this was what death would feel like--overwhelming pain, a sinking pressure in the pit of his stomach, a cold spreading down his limbs, leaving a numbness in its wake. Maybe he didn't die, but a part of him, a fraction of his soul, had just taken its final breath.

    Alongside the left side of the mirror, Percy could make out the dreadful date plastered on the bright pink note. ‘Ferry 9:45AM!’ Accompanied by little hearts below. Percy would’ve loved the idea of spending a day with his Mom—if it weren’t for the fact they’d be having a walking parasite stuck by them the entire time.

    Or; Percy, his mom, and Gabe go to the boardwalk to catch a sight seeing ferry. Percy is not about to spend hours with a guy who’d rather throw him overboard, so he scatters. Thankfully, a stranger is there to help him once he gets a bit too in over his head.

    Summary

    Lance couldn’t help but laugh gently and say, “Hi gorgeous... I missed you since yesterday...” And he really did— he always goes to this reef to maintain it and the merman had become part of his daily schedule. Keith was always all over him and even helped a lot by showing Lance sick coral that was hard to find.

    Keith nuzzles their faces together, jostling Lance’s mask a bit but he holds onto it and nuzzles back. Even though they had a rocky start, it seemed all was easily forgiven over time.

    or

    Lance is a marine biologist who works at a reef that his favorite merperson lives at. Little does Lance know, he's been mated to this endearing merman for months. Keith is just happy his new mate is fine with all his odds and quirks.

    Summary

    He tucked the pajamas into his bag and stuffed the whole lot into an empty drawer inside the nightstand. They were soft and red, and he couldn't remember the last time he hadn't slept in something other than his grease-stained work clothes. Leo sits on the bed, running his hands over the sheets. Definitely better than the few weeks he’d spent sleeping under the Houston Bridge.

    -Or-

    Leo is fostered by Sally Jackson, but he doesn't plan on sticking around for long. That is, until Jason steps in and convinces him to stay.

    There’s no guidebook to raising a demigod child with PTSD. And trauma sadly always seems to go hand in hand with having a god as a parent, as if mental suffering and physical pain is part of the godly heritage.

    To Sally, this harsh reality is something that is hard to stomach in the aftermath of the battle of Manhattan.
