Summary
Atropos breaks her silence with a low chuckle. “One need not see the future to predict your curiosity, champion.”
Now there’s an interesting word to hear. It’s bait if I’ve ever heard it, and you best believe I’m going to take it like there’s no tomorrow. After all, for me there may not be. “Champion?”
Atropos speaks up again. “It was not yet your time to die mortal, but your services were required elsewhere.”
I think that means I get to live? I’ll not look a gift horse in the mouth if so. I snort at the irony of the metaphor and I think I catch a smile on Atropos’s face as I do. “Quite the job interview, though I’m not exactly in a position to decline."

Or: My ADHD ass dies and is sent to the world of Percy Jackson as a son of Athena to play the role of fixer-upper. I'll probably die again, painfully, but at least it's worth a shot at Elysium, eh?

Summary
He can’t help but stare, breathless, as he watches her twirl away from Suki’s blows. He doubts Ty Lee is even aware she’s doing anything, as she uses her bending passively, exclusively to augment her movements.
An extra boost given to a jump. A slight push out of the way of an incoming blow, a shove added to the force of a punch.
He’s entranced, watching the way she effortlessly weaves the currents around her. Somehow, it all just slots in place and he chuckles a bit at the fact he’s even surprised. Really, who else but Ty Lee would be an Airbender?
His laugh seems to break Ty Lee’s concentration for just a moment, as her eyes flit over and meet his.
He can’t help but observe that they’re grey; just like his. He hadn’t thought the detail significant until just now.

Summary
Thalia popped the box open and slid a cigarette free, her slender fingers elegantly cradling it. She stopped short as she noticed his raised eyebrow, before pulling a second cigarette from the carton and offering it to him, “Want one?”
Percy kept his eyebrow raised, “I didn’t even know you smoked.”
“I don’t usually, but it’s a ritual of sorts for me. Every time I get through something that I had no right to survive, I have a nice smoke. It’s a little treat.”

Summary
“Oh sure, Aphrodite was pretty, but not beautiful.” He looked away as he swallowed hard, “not like you are, anyways.” His gaze returned to her as his smile turned to one of bravery and mischief. He had gotten an idea, never a good sign.
“Here, I’ll prove it to you.” Percy quipped, “I swear on the River Styx that Thalia Grace is the most beautiful person I know.”

Summary
Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.
His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”
“Indeed,” he hums.
//
(Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)
//
Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.

Summary
A story about self-discovery, family, and love. A time-traveling Hermione and her baby trans little sister Hailey take on destiny. Here's the gist:
Voldemort didn't stay dead at the end of the Battle of Hogwarts, and things got very, very bad. Ancient magic returns a 20-year-old Hermione back to her 15-year-old body, and she must set up complicated plans in secret to ensure the end of the world doesn't come to pass. Along the way, she falls in love with a hot French girl and helps her bestie's egg crack.
If you enjoy Fleurmione stories, sibling dynamics between Hermione and Harry, or time-travel fix-its generally, this is the story for you! Also, this features a major trans storyline, because JKR is a transphobic bigot, and we deserve better.
I make no promises about any kind of an update schedule. If you're a fan of any of my other works, you'll know I can be all over the place. Sorry! But I'm a busy lawyer. I do have the story plotted out, and as with all my stories, I promise not to abandon it.
