    Summary

    “So, you remember the plan, right?” Matt whispered. The sirens in the distance picked up, the sounds of the police officers on foot growing louder.

    “You’re blind and I’m just a scared teenager,” Peter said back, nodding. “Got it.”

    Summary

    “A 97 percent?” her mother asks, eyes never leaving the page of the exam booklet that she’s studying.

    Lily nods, realizes her mother can’t see her, and replies, quietly, “Yes.”

    Her mother hums. It’s an uncertain hum, with an undercurrent of disdain. Lily is very good at interpreting her mother’s hums.

    “Well, that’s not bad darling.” A pause. Lily waits for what is inevitably coming. “But where did the other 3 percent go?”

    OR

    In her fifth year at Hogwarts, Lily Evans begins to dissolve. This is a story of hunger, pressure, what it takes to exceed expectations, and what it means to survive them.

    Summary

    "I … I don't get what I’m meant to do. I just throw my food into the fire and ... talk?" James, a son of Hermes asked -- Percy could recognise those blue eyes and elfish facial features anywhere.

    Percy grinned, "Yeah, that's pretty much it."

    James hesitated before looking down at his feet, "But ... Hermes has a lot of children more powerful and more popular than me. What would I even ask him for? It's not like he cares."

    Maybe it was because Percy was reminded of that promise he wrangled from the gods at age sixteen, but one moment he was looking at the younger camper, and the next he was throwing some of his food into the fire and asking Poseidon for some Disneyland tickets very, very loudly.

    But even though he wasn't quite sure how it happened, the small, shocked laugh that James let out made it worth it.

    Or

    Percy sees that some of the newer campers don't feel 100% comfortable with requesting stuff from their godly parents, so he decides to rectify that the only way he knows how -- dramatically.

    Summary

    Sirius’ hands fell to the floor again, and he lolled his head to the side to stare despairingly at James. “His skin is so soft and he smelled liked strawberry jam,” Sirius said quietly, deploying his saddest puppy dog eyes.
    James snorted loudly as he stood up, broom in one hand. He looked down at Sirius. “What you need, mate, is to get a life.”

    ---

    Remus and Sirius find themselves in a predicament. Both are hopelessly pining after each other, and after James dares them to pretend to be dating, they find that time is running out and they'll have to admit their feelings sooner rather than later. Centers around Wolfstar but focuses on lots of other characters as well :)
