    TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

    HON. LAN WANGJI: Mr. Wei Wuxian, you will address me as Your Honor or you will not speak in my Courtroom.

    WEI WUXIAN: Your Honor, I disagree!

    WEI WUXIAN: [To OFFICER] Important work like what, finding parking meters that are 30 seconds expired?

    JIN ZIXUN: [Indecipherable Rage]

    Summary

    Sally crouched down in front of where Nico sat on the couch, and smiled warmly at him. “Percy tells me you don’t have a place to stay at the moment,” she said, gentle and non-judgemental.

    Nico shot Percy an accusatory glare, but he annoyingly didn’t baulk at the daggers Nico was sending him, nor did he show any regret in telling Sally about his personal life. “I’m fine.”

    “A brave, independent kid like you? I’m sure you are.”

    Sally’s praise shouldn’t have pleased him as much as it did, and Nico had to physically stop himself from preening. When was the last time he had received a compliment from a parental figure?

    But... if you’re looking for a place you can use as a homebase, there is plenty of space for you here.”

    (Canon divergent AU in which Nico moves in with Percy, Sally, and Paul post-BOTL)

    Summary

    She went first to the hives of Silence and requested from them their beeswax. Then she found where the clay men had hidden their newfound fire, and took from their hearth the smallest burning scrap, which she used to light a wick. As the wax melted down it, its layers dripped and hardened upon themselves, and when it lengthened into a shape she could carry in her arms, she the Night bent her head and kissed life into it. This became the infant she called Charon, half-melted and smoking Promethean fire with every breath.

    At the end of this recounting, she tilted her head and asked politely, Is this not how you have children?

    Uh, no, said Persephone.

    Summary

    In the first days of Zagreus's tutelage, Achilles is still full of wrath more than anything. His bitterness toward the gods is untempered, and before him stands one of their scions, vulnerable and yet immortal, able to take however much he chooses to dish out.

    (Or, perhaps, not so immortal after all. And in the end, very vulnerable indeed.)
