    Summary

    Odysseus slammed the only survivor against the wall, his sword pressed firmly enough against the guard’s trembling throat that blood spilled, black and reflective as it soaked under his armour.

    Which ones?” he snarled, low and feral, as monstrous as he had ever sounded. The guard only stared back, wild-eyed and silent. “You said your king stole Greek heirs. Which fucking ones?

    Barely even a gurgle in response, choked and incredulous. “How the fuck would I know, you think I keep a list of all the whores in this palace?” Something purely dangerous must have shown in his expression, the violent wall behind which he hid a terror so suffocating it would consume him alive, as the guard continued, as frantic as prey in a predator’s jaws.

    “I- the Ithacan, I know, but the others-”

    He didn’t feel the force in the shock of lighting that shot through him, only the scrape of his blade along the wall and the hollow thud of a skull falling to the stone below.

    Telemachus.

    Summary

    When Odysseus fails to convince Palamedes of his insanity, he realises his only hope of escaping the war lies in revealing his existence to his divine father.

    However in a world where gods are known for their inability to bear children, it can be dangerous to reveal your demigod status...

    Summary

    Percy knew he was in over his head even before a group of men, dressed like they were going to win an ancient Greek costume competition, stepped into the cave.
    _______________________________
    When Percy was knocked out on Polyphemus' Island while trying to save his friends, he had no idea that waking up in ancient Greece was an outcome he had to prepare for.
    But here he was, sailing across an unknown sea with a very well known ancient hero, reenacting the Odyssey (of which he knew far to little) and trying not to die. Fun times.
    Meeting the gods (who were wilder, younger and way more vengeful) while attempting to not mess up the future was just the top of the metaphorical iceberg.

    The only good thing? Dreaming about a rather cute boy who always made him smile...

    Summary

    The more he listened, the more he turned incredulous. He hadn't felt like this since Leo had told him of a Magic 8 Ball. If Apollo was getting the gist of it, they thought he was a child of, well, Apollo.

    We all know the story. Two separate universes, and a stark difference. Demigods. One devoid of them and filled with grief; the other tossing them away without knowing how lucky they are.

    Fate begins to make a change, sending over nine to the childless pantheon at the start. Only, it doesn't end at demigods. Minutes before the Sky Prince can be pulled away from the living to Elsiyum, its attention is brought to a god. Well, a former god.

    Aka: Misaligned Stars, but if Fate decided to intervene just a little later. The result? Apollo is dragged along for the ride. (Spoiler: He is not prepared for a weirdly affectionate version of his family...and himself.)

    Summary

    Everyone knows that the gods have numerous children. Besides being responsible for controlling aspects of the world, that's what they're known for. Demigods are a dime a dozen, and while the gods do care for their children, we all know that they are willing to send them to their deaths for 'the greater good,' or sometimes just for a chance at glory.

    But what if demigods... didn't exist?

    What if there was a Pantheon that couldn't have children with mortals, only producing stillborns and monsters?

    Faced with the threat of It's world's timeline being destroyed due to this cosmic error, Fate itself seeks to intervene. It tears through reality and snatches away a select few demigods to gift to It's Pantheon, erasing and manipulating the memories of It's most vulnerable chosen, as well as rewinding the years on all that It takes, to help with the bonding process.

    This choice leaves 9 demigods trapped in an Ancient Greece that not even they can recognize. Stranded, disoriented, and stripped of their claims, they must tread carefully, for the roaming monsters are not the only threat.

    Summary

    So, Poseidon would admit he was lost.

    Odysseus had tricked him. Again. Despite the way the man had been all but trapped in Poseidon’s domain, Athena’s precious ‘Warrior of the Mind’ had not yet run out of luck and Poseidon was suffering for it. The coward refused to extend proper mercy, didn’t stand like a hero, and now used trickery to run from an honorable death. False righteousness, not even finishing the job.

    Yet Poseidon had chased him down, following him into the cave Odysseus’s ship had sailed into. Or, the cave he thought Odysseus’s ship had sailed into.

    He wasn’t sure anymore. This was most certainly not Greece anymore.

    AKA

    EPIC: The Musical's Poseidon lands in the PJO verse and decides that if the local Poseidon is not going to raise his son, then he's going to do it. Percy is just happy to have a dad that wants to take him to drown ferries of tourists.

    Summary

    There was a moment between birth and ascending where a newborn god was vulnerable, the touch of pure immortality still grabbing a hold of them. Immortality, after all, was not a thing to be created or destroyed. It was the concept of unchanging permanence, and one could not be born or dying permanently, forever.

    And those who are not gods cannot see a god’s true form without irreparable harm.

    The only thing Apollo ever saw was his sister’s true form.

    Summary

    All Marinette wanted to do was buy some dishes and twinkle lights.

    Instead, she got wrapped up in an all-out game of hide-and-seek between four of the most well-trained vigilantes in the world. Involving Home Alone-esque traps, crushed forklifts, a surprising amount of shoplifting considering they're the good guys, and the beginnings of an epic bond with a smirking, laser wielding, maniac.

    Not that she knew that at the time. All she saw was a cute guy hiding behind a desk, and the rest was history.

    Summary

    Four years on from his brutal escape, Dick Grayson has managed to carve out a simple, if a little lonely, life for himself – that is until he meets the imposing but kind hearted “successful businessman” Jason Todd.

    Four years on from the incident at the Court of Owls, Batman finally has a lead and wrangles Red Hood’s help to track down the last remaining Talon. It’s a case that Jason isn’t awfully concerned about until traces of the Talon keep popping up around his sweet but naïve new boyfriend Dick – a man he would do anything to protect.

    Summary

    AKA the 6 times Tony doesn't tell the Avengers he's autistic, +1 he does.

    ---

    "They started noticing a couple of weeks in. Tony couldn’t really say he was surprised. He was pretty good at masking, maybe even one of the best because very few people had to mask so consistently, in front of most of the world. And no one had ever suspected. But there was only so long you could keep that up before your body and mind gave in, and Tony had always used the Tower as his decompression space. It was absurdly unrealistic to think he could go months without relaxing properly. It didn’t make it any less humiliating every time he slipped up."

    ---

    Nothing and no one can convince me that Tony Stark isn't autistic, and I'm here to make that EVERYONE'S problem.

    Summary

    Things I don't see in DC yet - Dick Grayson time travelling, deciding to join Talon just so he can fuck them up from the inside and then forcibly joins Bruce at 12. Bruce has no idea what to do with a murderous assassin kid who has more of his shit put together than he does. Also, not Dick vicariously adopting all of the Robins and Bruce faced with three smaller children sitting at his table every night looking at him accusingly.

    Summary

    Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?

    Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”

    From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.

    Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

    Summary

    Dick couldn’t remember how it started.

    He never could. After years of screaming matches and biting words being spat at one another in yet another round of anger induced verbal abuse, the fight always played out the same way. The days or weeks leading up to the inciting incident would be fraught with tension. Patience worn thin by a scathing criticism here and a sarcastic quip there. Starting with a failed mission or just exhaustion from a particularly rough batch of patrols. Bruce would get in a mood, as he was prone to do. Acting more like a prepubescent boy then a man in his 40’s. And Dick would do everything in his power to direct his Fathers ire onto himself, away from his siblings' notice. Sparing them B’s cruel streak.

    And Bruce could be very cruel when he wanted to be.
