    Summary

    When Grover first caught a whiff of Mr. Jackson’s scent, he knew something was up.

    Sure, the man looked normal enough from Grover’s brief glimpse of him through the windshield as Mrs. Jackson’s Toyota Prius trundled up the long driveway. He had sunburnt shoulders and was still wearing a pair of bright yellow bib-and-brace oilskins, like he’d just come back from his job on the fishing trawler.

    But once the car got close and Grover caught Mr. Jackson’s scent, all of Grover’s fur stood on end.

    Because beyond the sweat, salt, and dead fish he could pick up, there was a strangely synthetic human smell. It was sort of like how Fanta smelt like oranges. Which was to say - and a sharp stab of anxiety wormed its way into Grover’s heart at the thought - Mr. Jackson smelt like he was a fake human. Was Mr. Jackson a monster in disguise?

    In a moment of weakness, Poseidon makes a decision. He chooses a decade of a mortal life so he can be with Sally and his son. But when a god, especially one as important and powerful as Poseidon, becomes mortal, there are consequences. (Or that fic where Asclepius is taken instead of the lightning bolt.)

    Summary

    When people are desperate they turn to faith. Panem has done a good job creating a truly secular society, stamping out the religions of the past, but nothing can stop new gods from rising.

    -

    Or: When Gaea curses Percy to live in a world without the gods, he winds up in District 4 and is chosen as tribute for the 70th Hunger Games. From there, everything just kind of spirals.

    Summary

    Miyuki Haruno, a reincarnated soul from another world, awakens as Sakura’s frail and gentle older sister in the shinobi village of Konoha.
    Born without the strength to become a ninja, she lives as a civilian writer, quietly burdened by memories of Naruto’s story as fiction.
    Knowing the tragedies to come, Miyuki struggles to subtly steer fate—yet every attempt is quietly undone, as if the world itself rejects her interference.
    Her days unfold in the shadow of destiny, where love, loss, and quiet perseverance become her only rebellion.
    In the end, Miyuki learns that some stories cannot be rewritten—but they can still be lived with meaning, kindness, and grace.

    Authors note:
    An excuse to write a romance

    I wanted to be coy about the eventual pairing but decided to share it as to not keep people guessing or getting attached

    Summary

    Shouto knows that the appropriate thing to do now is to pull his head out of the cupboard, stand up, and explain to Bakugou that he’s looking for the first aid kit. He also knows that if he does that, Bakugou will most likely let go of his hand. And – he doesn’t want that.

    OR

    Todoroki gets hit with a quirk that makes him sick unless a particular person is touching him. And that particular person just happens to be Bakugou Katsuki.
