Summary
Suddenly, George didn’t know what to say anymore. Those easy words that had fallen off his tongue were now gone, and he shifted slightly on the bed. He had quickly gone from the lead in a one-man show to a helpless audience member, not exactly sure what came next.
“Well—”
“Will you stay?” Harry interrupted.
He had gone from a helpless audience member to a passerby on the street. Not even with a ticket to the damn performance.

Summary
George cackled loudly, reaching over his twin brother to spin the bottle. After the anticlimax of Lee and Seamus, the lingering tension eased until there were only smiles and happy chatter.
Until the bottle stopped. And it pointed directly at Harry.
He gulped.

Summary
Forced to a halt, Nico lifted his gaze to meet Percy’s stare. “I know you don’t want special treatment, Percy,” he sighed. “But, please, consider this a repayment of everything you’ve done for me. For all of us. Let me do this for you.”
Furrowing his eyebrows, Percy hesitated. His eyes flickered between Nico’s. A beat passed. “Okay,” he said easily, sticking his hands in his pockets. “For you.”

Summary
“Poseidon?” Jason asked, his voice thin with hesitation.
Annabeth reached out to grab Jason’s arm, her stomach curling with unease. “Wait—”
A dark chuckle erupted from the man. “I get mistaken for him a lot,” his voice rumbled. “Out of everyone, though, I thought you three would be able to tell the difference.”
The man twisted towards them—just enough to meet their eyes. All of the air in her lungs instantly evaporated, leaving her gasping. Simultaneously, a knife stabbed directly into her heart, ever-so-slowly being dragged to her stomach, leaving hellfire in its wake.
Red eyes. But—
Oh.
No.
No.
alternatively: Chiron called Annabeth back to Camp Half-Blood three years after she walked away from it all, away from the painful memories that lingered, the ones that reminded her of what she lost, who she lost. But, something has been letting monsters through the borders, and she'll soon realize she's the only one who can fix it. Or maybe she's the only one willing to try.

Summary
Gone was the light of camp, the fearless leader. In its place was a broken hero, not knowing what to do next. It left a terrible sight that ruined their reputation as mighty gods. It left a nasty black mark on their record. Many of the gods feared another rebellion from the demigods was inevitable if they didn’t remove Percy from Camp Half-Blood. Percy was a legacy amongst demigods, and if he started to outright speak out against the gods, many feared that he could adopt a mass following, and march upon Olympus to raze it to the ground. Many feared that he could win. No, it was better for everyone if they forced him into the mortal world, away from anything godly for a while.
Restore the balance of peace, and then maybe he would be allowed back (doubtful).

Summary
Lord Voldemort is dead.
You-Know-Who is now You-No-More. He popped his clogs. Topped himself. Was terminated with extreme prejudice.
And, while that’s great news and all, George Weasley isn’t too keen to celebrate the whole business; he’s a bit busy coping with the brutal murder of his other half. Not that he’s trying to inconvenience you with his grief or anything.
(He’s totally trying to inconvenience you. If he’s not having a good time why the fuck should you?)
A look into the lives of George Weasley and Harry Potter after the battle of Hogwarts. They're suffering.
But it's okay because they love each other. They just don't know it yet.

Summary
Everyone he trusted with his secret – Will, Freya, Balinor, Lancelot, and now Gaius – was gone. Arthur would never bring magic back to the land, and he would never let Merlin stand at his side the way Merlin had hoped he would. It was a cold awakening, years of baseless faith dashed against the fraying tapestry that destiny had made Merlin sew into his own skin, but an awakening nonetheless.
Merlin is shaken out of his obsession with destiny and his blind faith in Arthur. Arthur just wishes he knew how to get his closest friend back.
(For Merthur Angst Week 2021 Day 7: “No. You don’t get to talk.”)

Summary
Merlin turned and rattled about with the crockery, reaching up high on his tiptoes while Arthur thought lurid and filthy thoughts about him, such as Merlin sitting next to him on Arthur’s favourite windowsill and telling Arthur he was his friend.
In which the sorceress never takes Lady Helen’s form, and Merlin doesn’t save Arthur at the banquet.
