Dämmerung by LiterallyThePresident
Fandoms: The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller, Hades (Video Game 2018)

Summary
“I… I will not be able to convince him to stop fighting.” Patroclus said carefully, wary of displeasing a god, “Even my word cannot dissuade him from his destiny.”
“See that’s the fun part, you don’t have to convince him of anything.” Hypnos smiled, “In fact, you don’t have to do anything for this plan. We’re just gonna take you out of the equation for a little bit, that’s all, grant Achilles some clarity of mind.” Patroclus’ eyes went wide as he put it together, fists clenching on his thighs at Hypnos’ blithe air over such a cruel plan.
“I am to be held hostage?” he rasped, heart heavy and throat tight, “To be used against Achilles like... like a favored toy dangled over a misbehaving child?”

Summary
Achilles stood up. He had been expecting the stranger since Megaera had stalked past him, elegant despite the anger and blood dripping from her.
An AU where Zagreus was raised by Demeter and ends up fighting his way through the Underworld regardless - just in the opposite direction. Guarding the entrance out is the terrifying monster Cerberus, but guarding the entrance in is Achilles, best of Greeks. And he has strict orders not to let anyone in.

Summary
He's aware of his surroundings in fragments.
He's running and thinks he has been for a while. His feet are burning with both the cold and the cuts he knows must be absolutely filthy with debris. He can hardly get any air and every other thought is just begging to stop. To take a break. But he knew that if he stopped, for even a moment, he wouldn't be moving again for a long time. So, he kept running, and stumbling over roots and other things he couldn't see in the dim light.
He does that for a long time.
_____
Danny's on the run after his friends and family were killed by the GIW. After escaping from Vlad he runs to the only place no one will look for him, the home of his birth mother, Lois Lane.

Summary
It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties.
(This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)
**
“Just ask them questions only they would know the answer to,” Malfoy suggests.
“There’s not a single thing that I know about either of them from the first war that any old Death Eater couldn’t find out.”
“How is that possible?” Malfoy huffs. “He’s your father!”
“Am I or am I not famously an orphan?” Potter snarls.

Summary
Every now and again—typically late at night, when his mind was trying and failing to internalise the hurricane of weird shit that happened to be his life—Desmond wondered about how all this will end. Abstrego can throw around technical-sounding jargon until the cows go home, but even they probably knew that rendering genetic memories in three dimensions just meant fucking around with soul magic.
Or
Every guy can be a babygirl but it takes a man to be a single mother.

Summary
Cal Kestis woke up on Coruscant Fifty-two years ago, looking no older than seventeen, and his bounty hunter was nowhere to be found. Needless to say, Cal is not happy, and therefore no one will be happy. Cal has a mission: get the Jedi out from under the Senate's thumb, stop the Mandalorian civil war, and prevent the Galactic Empire's rise. Would Cal be wiser to just live an easy life in the past? And let the galaxy take care of its self?
Yeah. Probably.
Or, Cal solves the galaxies' problems with one arranged marriage. (Sorry, Obi-Wan, you get to take one for the team, at least Jango's hot, right.) Financially decimating Sith Lords and their allies. (Palpy's wallet will take a bruising) And no clones, Jango! (Except for Boba because of time travel.)Update: this fic had had a re-write and Chapter 4 is an actual chapter.

Summary
“So Padmé and I got married.”
Obi-Wan stopped walking, swayed a bit, and then proceeded to swear for five minutes straight. I mean he just went on, right there on the Temple landing pad. I’m fairly sure it was more than he has sworn in his entire life all combined.

A story about the life and times of The Chosen One™ who is, shall we say, a touch more clueless. And because of this everybody lives.

‘Oya'karir Jetiise’ by RoosjeM
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy

Tags
Summary
It started slowly.
Mostly with curiosity from Mando’ade who had read Jaster’s article. Curiosity about just what their ancestors and predecessors saw in Jettise of all beings. That curiosity grew bigger when it turned out that Jetiise were a lot harder to find than anyone would have thought.
Which made it a challenge.
And there was no Mandalorian in the galaxy that would not rise to the challenge of a good hunt.
--------------Or, the discovery of a few tiny mistranslation leads to Mandalorians realising that their ancestors really really liked Jedi and they set out to discover why.

‘The Temporary Temple Guards’ by RoosjeM
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
26 Nov 2024
Tags
Summary
It was a widely known fact within the Temple, that the Temple Guards stationed at the Coruscant Temple were experiencing a ‘shortage’ at the moment. Seeing as Knights were sent out to complete missions and went on protective details, they were also the Corp that was responsible for the Temple Guards.
-“I may have an issue.”
“What is it?”
The boy was alone. No one else was around despite it being the middle of the night. Just the boy who made a bee-line for Obi-Wan. He was way too young to be out at this time let alone out here all alone. It was the boy’s training armour that tipped Obi-wan off that this was more than just a lost child.
“I have a youngling in front of me. There is no one else around and I am pretty sure he’s Mandalorian.”
Quinlan paused, then asked, “...Come again?”
Obi-Wan peered down at the child tugging at his arm. “Aran, ner echoy'la.”
Kriff. “Correction, I have a Mandalorian boy in front of me telling me he’s lost.”
-Or it’s Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi’s turn to be a Temporary Temple Guard and of course one of his past missions comes back to haunt him.

Two Sides of a Coin (You Can't Have One Without the Other) by Nation_Ustria

Summary
Nightwing has to bite back a laugh. “Gotham is a no-fly zone for more than just the JL, Supes. But, from what Blud knows, chances are that whatever you’ve heard is probably true.”
Superman pales, which is anything but unexpected. Pretty much all of Gotham tends to be horrifying to Outsiders, as Nightwing is well aware. The question here is which rumors Superman decided were concerning enough to actually look into, the answer to which could be literally anything from the pollution levels to the regularity of the city-wide Fear Gas attacks.
Or something entirely outside of the usual spectrum of Things That Outsiders Need To Stop Freaking Out About, Nightwing discovers when Superman blurts, “But the Waynes aren’t actually possessed, right?”
…Ah.
Well, crap.
Or, in Gotham, it’s been common knowledge since the very beginning that the Waynes are unwitting hosts to the parasitic Bats, who protect Gotham and its people from threats both internal and external in turn. There’s nothing anyone can do about it, even if they wanted to.
(That’s… not actually what’s happening, but nobody needs to know that. The Batfam is too committed to the bit to pull out now.)

Summary
When Shen Yuan first transmigrated to the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way, he had been under the impression he’d been taken against his will to a world of giants.
Do people not look down?! He mentally screamed while skittering back from uncaring, trampling feet. It was then he noticed something was wrong with the actual shape of his body. Where hands should be were two paper white paws, and looking behind him were two equally white and matching limbs. From there he could see a flickering tail and he had no other choice but to run to the nearest puddle to confirm (Unconfirm!! Very much unconfirm!!!!!) his dawning horror.
There, from a foul smelling and oily looking puddle next to what seemed like a food cart, did Shen Yuan come to understand just who, or rather what, he had become.
AKA the cat demon!Shen Yuan fic someone was probably asking for.

Summary
Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?
Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”
From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.
Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

Almost (Sweet Music) by Khrysopos
Fandoms: The Song of Achilles - Madeline Miller, Ancient Greek Religion & Lore
19 Aug 2024

Summary
Everyone in all of mighty Achaea knows of how protective and proud Menoetius is of his only son — so much so that it reflects in the boy's very name — Patroclus. Pride of the father. The boy has been a revered figure since the very day of his birth, given he is an omega in a land where his kind are not only worshipped but are also rarely descended from royal families because of their very strong alpha lineage.
Now eighteen, and eligible for marriage, suitors begin visiting the grand walls of Opus to have a chance to catch a look at the prince, and possibly gain his hand. Menoetius gives his son the leave to choose his husband, but it does not mean he will make it easy for anyone to just whisk him away. So he plucks a few pages out of books of older traditions and revives "Athlos" — a series of games that had once been held in the honour of omegas, to allow them to see and select the best of the alphas for themselves. To separate the wheat from the chaff.
Menoetius watches mighty princes trip over each other for his Patroclus. For him, it is a challenge — a dare to see who could take away his precious son from him. He already sees himself as the victor.
What he does not expect is the Prince of Phthia.

Summary
There’s roles to be filled in stories. Archetypes, metaphors, obstacles.
Sacrifices.
It’s not a ‘say yes’ or ‘say no’ situation. It’s filling the role you were written to play. You are the sacrifice, you are the acceptable casualty, you’re the dead brother along the dead mother, the one who never went anywhere not because you didn’t have anywhere to go, but because you couldn’t conceive a future you’re just now realizing you never had.
You are Andromeda, chained to the rock. Waiting for the monster to eat you alive.
