Summary
“Alexander Hamilton! I’m at your service, sir!”
Aaron looks at the hand and doesn’t take it. His hands are safely in his pocket, but he’d taken off his gloves, and he is not particularly in the mood to feel the single most consequential juncture of a stranger’s life.
Alexander is still grinning at him, and the moment is stretching on, and he refuses to put his hand down, and Aaron has about half a second before this staring contest verges beyond the mere impolite and into the territory of heavy, awkward weight and scattered excuses—and before he can think better of it, Aaron takes Alexander’s hand.

Summary
“Do you have any other family?” the woman asked as the sky darkened.
He shook his head. There had been some, once, they had all died when he was still very small. If he thought hard, he could conjure up an old man with white hair, golden eyes, and rough nimble hands carrying him through the streets and telling him stories.
“Once upon a time, Vitya, there lived a fair princess in a high tower…”
“Friends, then? Yours or your parents’ who might take you in?” the woman asked again with an edge of desperation entering her voice.
After Viktor’s parents die in a tragic accident, he finds himself forced to go to the one place he swore he’d never return to, the cave near the water with the mysterious doctor and his beloved, doomed Rio. Though it is a better alternative than begging on the streets or working in the mines or factories, Viktor beings to suspect that the doctor doesn’t have his best interests at heart and perhaps seems him as something closer to Rio than his apprentice.Series

Summary
“No, I mean all the other times.” Kaoru looks up at him, the gleam in his eyes intense. “Always. Not just with me but the kids too. You always have something ready. Why?”
“I like cooking. I think I’m pretty good with words, but sometimes a dish made with care says more than words ever could.”
Food is Kojiro's love language, and over ten years of their life, he has a lot to say to Kaoru.

Yaoyorozu goes beet red. “Well,” she starts, voice soft. “Um.” Aizawa puts his papers down and folds his hands together on top of the latest folder. “Is… there any way you can make changes to your gradebook?”
This was a surprise. Was Yaoyorozu going to ask him to cheat grades for her? “That depends. Grades? Absolutely not.”

Summary
I tried to keep my face impassive as my little brother hurtled through the air.
It did not pay to show weakness while in the company of other gods. Passion, yes- but not weakness. That’s why Father had called a council meeting, after all. To show us Apollo’s trials, everything my twin would have to suffer through for having dared to oppose him. It was his way of reinforcing his iron grip on us, of showing he still had power, after the debacles and humiliation from the Second Titan War and the Second Giants War - particularly the latter, as Zeus did more to hinder the efforts to combat Gaea than to help. If we’d all done what he’d commanded, we’d be destroyed by now.
Zeus would never admit to that. Not out loud. But he knows we’re all thinking it.
So naturally, my little brother is his scapegoat.
------------Zeus calls the Council together to watch Apollo's punishment.

‘Sorry, Erik, you won’t ever get to meet your eldest daughter because she’s as dead as your youngest.’
Peter had this old photo. He looked a little different in the photo; he was laughing with a stranger that no one else recognised. Unfortunately, his friends and teammates weren't very willing to drop the subject.
Erik, of all people, wouldn't drop the subject.

“What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.
“Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”
A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”

The wanted poster had the scar on the wrong side.
Maybe he didn’t care enough to look at the poster before it got sent out. Or maybe, Ozai didn’t actually remember which side of his son’s face he had burned off all those years ago. Zuko wasn’t sure what was worse. Ozai had know which side the scar was on. He had to remember. Right?
----
In which Zuko isn't sure Ozai knows which side of his face he burnt off and it sends him spiraling.- Language:

"You must make your own choice.": Reconstructing Apollo's Journey within Riordan's Narrative by eleu, Keyseeker
Fandoms: The Trials of Apollo - Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types
20 Jan 2022

Summary
“I was the worst of the gods,” he says, dropping all pretenses as he sings of his failures to the myrmekes. Because I loved too much. Because I felt guilty. Because I kept trying to do more. Because I kept changing my mind.
These are unforgivable sins for a god. That’s what Apollo and all of his divine siblings have been taught. That’s what they’ve all, in time, learned to believe. Good people don’t survive on Olympus.
And Apollo is, above all, a survivor.
So Apollo doesn’t want to believe he’s a good person.
This is incredibly uncharacteristic of me, he makes sure to specify every time he does something kind, every time he finds himself unable to hide his shame or guilt or doubt, to hide how much he cares, well past the point where we start realizing that it is, in fact, perfectly characteristic of him.

It is the sweet sounds of the lyre,
That warns the city of what comes,
The sun burning, blinding the men below,
And the open wound festers.-
It's Apollo Appreciation Week and I hope y'all understand that this god is WAY more than just what Rick wrote him as.
