Summary
When Ada finally looks at him, she can’t stop the plea that falls from her lips. “Stay.”
"That's usually my line," he says. "You're not being fair, Ada."
“I know you,” she replies. “I know what you want.”
“Oh yeah?” he edges even closer to her, a challenging look in his eyes. “And what is that?”
She meets his gaze unflinchingly. “The same thing I do.”
(Or: A seemingly typical one-night stand in Europe turns into something much more permanent. Leon, Ada, and the art of building a life backwards.)

Summary
In nearly every way (except the most notable), the Princess of Hyrule was the Goddess incarnate. For that reason alone, it was a little ingenious for the King to offer up his daughter’s hand to whoever was able to pull the sword.
Link hadn’t meant to pull the sword. He planned to watch as his comrades pulled with all their might, perhaps even tease a few about how it was all for the better that the sword didn’t budge, because surely no Princess could ever love their ugly mugs, and then get into a good old-fashioned wrestling match with their bruised egos after one too many jokes. But it hadn’t mattered what he had in mind; Link’s plans be damned. The Goddess had already plucked him out of obscurity and set him along Her own path.

Summary
“What is this?”
“Macaroni,” says Clorinde and even the name of the dish sounds plain and dull. She picks up her own fork and stabs a piece inside the pot. “You should know; it’s the only thing you grabbed at the grocers before running out in a panic.”
Furina has nothing to say to that. She takes another bite instead.
Swallows.
“Are you here to kill me?”
---
Furina takes off the mask and discovers who she really is behind the scars. Set before and after her story quest, on the road to recovery.

Summary
“Peter, is it supposed to be doing that?” One of his students asked him. He looked up to see the industrial-strength magnets he’d collected for this lab trying to crack through the glass between them to be reunited. The glass splintered.
“Yeah, no. That’s totally fine,” he lied. Then he inconspicuously chased everyone to the corner of the lab, donned a glove, and smashed the glass so that it wouldn’t splinter and stab someone in the eye in its explosion.
His students cheered.
He needed a drink.
(Peter gets called back to the city at the age of 25 to help mitigate the rapidly increasing crime rate. He's in way over his head, so he sets out to re-establish Team Red.)

Summary
It’s been 20 hours since the last time Bennett had come back to Mondstat.
This wouldn’t have been a problem if he had actually gone with a team, but ever since his team had been disbanded in all but name, his adventures never lasted longer than 15 hours, unless something had gone wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong.
(or, Bennett is missing. this causes a chain reaction of events.)

Summary
“What is it?” Grover asks, “What’s with that weird look on your face?”
“Just trying to figure out if turning me in will get us enough bounty money to buy our way to LA.” Percy says, craning his neck towards the news van.
“We are not turning you in to the police.” Grover presses his head back into the alleyway.
“Why not?” Percy says. They could use a bit of cash. “You guys can just break me out afterwards, right?”
Annabeth looks like she’s considering it.
“No, guys,” Grover says. “No.”
If Percy has to spend the rest of his life cleaning up after the gods, then he might as well start from the beginning.Series
