    Summary

    “She’ll never claim me,” he whispered. Silena shook her head, eyes wild as she looked around for anyone who could be watching.

    “My mother doesn’t remember half of her children as it is,” she said with a note of bitterness. “If you do something to impress her, it won’t matter. Return the bolt in her name. She’ll claim you if you act the part. If you stay unclaimed then they'll figure out what you really are," she said, squeezing his hands tightly. Percy's heart sped up.

    "I - I don't know the first thing about Aphrodite-"

    "My mother was born of sea foam," Silena cut him off. "And if you're really who I think you are... you are the sea. You can pull this off," she said and touched his cheek. "Get the bolt. Survive," she said. Percy swallowed.

    "What if I can't act the part?" He asked. Silena's expression went blank for a moment. Slowly, she slipped off her bracelet and placed it in his hands.

    "If you're going to be one of us... you better learn."

    Or

    AU where Percy has to hide the fact he's a Big Three kid otherwise he'll be killed on the spot. Unfortunately for him, unclaimed kids tend to raise the most suspicion... but he might have found a loophole in the form of Aphrodite.

    Summary

    The reality of growing up was such: sitting at the dining table, waiting. An empty home, a heaviness that weighs on him, a friend who smiles and asks, "Are you happy, Tsukasa-kun?"

    He thinks of a quiet grey room, of the world he had once loved and chosen to give up. At eight years old, then ten, and now, seventeen. He's faced with a choice.

    Just forget.

    He smiles.

    I've never once been lonely.

    (It's the only way to make them happy.)

    Summary

    Reflected in the mirror is a boy who must be around her age. Average height, athlete's build, and now that Mafuyu's looking more closely, the blonde she noticed before edges orange-pink towards the ends. She blinks, and flat amber blinks back at her.

    There's writing hand-stitched into the chest pocket of her— his shirt. She traces it, mouths the reversed kanji she can read through the mirror.

    Tenma Tsukasa.

    Summary

    Midoriya jokingly says, "Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go apeshit?" Everyone's too focused on Iida telling him off for swearing to notice Shouto in his corner of the lunch table, mulling over his words.

    He is tired of being nice. He does want to go apeshit.

    Or: the one where Todoroki Shouto finds his personality, bit by bit, through the power of memes and friendship.
