Summary
Gojo sat there for a time, absently running his fingers over the bumps and ridges of the skull. This skull was female, according to its rounder eye sockets and less prominent brow bone. There was a faint, faint echo of cursed energy still clinging to it: residuals left over from a long-dead sorcerer or curse user. This person had been powerful. Some kind of cursed speech user, but the echo of positive cursed energy meant they could self-heal their throat even as it was torn by their own power. Nearly invulnerable, like he himself was.
That hadn’t saved them. Hadn’t saved any of the people who’d been imprisoned here. Invulnerability couldn’t save people from themseves.(Gojo is stuck in the prison realm with nothing but his own thoughts and the skeletons of his predecessors for company. It goes about as well as you'd expect. Then he finds a way out, but the world he stumbles into isn't his own. Not even close.)

Summary
Artemis surveyed him critically. Those poems her brother had written mentioned this mortal’s handsome features, waxing on about his piercing eyes and sharp jawline; honestly, she didn’t really see it.
Maybe it was unfair to judge him in this condition. Dried blood stained his chin and lips, and matted his blonde hair towards the back and side. A nasty bruise swelled on his jaw, turning his face all sorts of interesting colors. That probably brought down his attractiveness by several points, she figured. Still, she didn’t see what her brother clearly saw. The arrows were clearly the coolest thing about him.
Whatever, no accounting for taste. She nudged him with her foot. He didn’t move.
With a sigh, she bent down and pressed two fingers to his carotid artery.
He wasn’t dead.
Great.
She pulled back and grabbed her phone—a battered Nokia that had, quite literally, been to Hades and back—from her jacket pocket and dialed her little brother’s number.

Summary
Picking up where "Harley. Like the Motorcycle." left off.
---
“I’m going with you.”Tony turned his head to the teen with a soft scoff, pulling the car door open with one hand. “No you’re not.”
He sat in the driver’s seat and shut the door, cutting off the kid's response. The engine turned smoothly and soon he was easing onto the street. At least that hothead had done him the courtesy of leaving a decent car.
Within minutes he was speeding down an empty highway. He turned and picked up the file he’d gotten from Mrs. Davis, flipping through the pages.
“That’s so unsafe. You’re not even looking at the road right now.” A slightly raspy voice came from behind him.
"What the--"
---Basically, a sleep-deprived middle-aged genius with PTSD and a teenager who communes with the dead vs. a terrorist and people who blow up sometimes.

Summary
A series where the demigods get involved in the Battle of New York and the Avengers are appropriately confused, impressed, and concerned.
I know people always say that they're bad at summaries but I genuinely have no clue what to put here so like. Read and find out?

Summary
The alien was saying something about Carl. Asking her if she remembered that she was going to talk to him tonight, whether she remembered the videos they’d shown her. It all seemed too far away and too close all at once, numb and overwhelming. Didn’t they know Carl was dead? She knew. God, did she know. She’d mourned him for months now.
Bea’s POV leading up to and during the confrontation on Odette’s show.

Lol Gary (fantastic choice of name for the AI btw) is sooo crazy. This is still pretty cute though.

Summary
Carl is absolutely not having a quarter life crisis. Sure, he just left his girlfriend of over four years, found out she was cheating on him with multiple people, and spent an inadvisable amount of money buying her spoiled show cat off of her, but that's just a bad breakup. Besides, how's he meant to play COD properly without Donut in his lap?
I guess, in addition to his normal stupid dreams he's now having really weird ones where all of civilization is flattened and he goes and lives peacefully in the woods, but that's just dream shit. Can't control that.
Yeah, his best friend (and one of his only friends) of over a decade is now moving across the country with his new girlfriend, he found out he has a eight year old little half-brother, and that his crazy ex got someone fired from his job which is now making everything at work awkward on top of all this other bullshit — okay, maybe he's having a little bit of a quarter life crisis. Jesus, back the hell off.

Summary
Princess Donut has a lot of thoughts on Carl's Tragic Backstory (copyright of Dungeon Crawler After Hours with Odette). None of them positive. And why is she always the last to know these things, anyway?
Or, Donut's perspective during Carl's interview with Rosetta.
