    Summary

    There was a familiar click-hiss, and Red Hood pulled his helmet off.
    “You’re an imposter,” Grey said coolly, his eyes flickering to the rearview mirror.
    “My actual brother,” Boss drawled, then, to the fake Red Hood, “Your hair stripe is coming out.”
    — — —
    Or: Red Hood’s gang, Red Hood’s family, and Jason Todd’s headache that comes and goes. …oh, here it comes again.

    Summary

    People forget that if you asked the people of ancient Sparta, Aphrodite was a goddess of war, that she was connected to the ocean and war and blood and along with beauty and love. Of her several epitaphs, she had been the Dark One, that it was her son Eros who sowed chaos at her whim and at her feet, and that the gods feared love as much as they craved it. That another of her names was Ishtar, as surely as it was also Venus, goddess of war and beauty and love and defier of death.

    When the daughter of Aphrodite, touched by Death, looks across the face of lost Percy Jackson, she certainly remembers all about her godly parent, because she had been a mythology scholar in her first life, and she hears the call of war as she looks into sea-green eyes.

    Or Sena Strand is much like her mother, and when something is her’s, she plays for keeps.

    Summary

    Ned speaks the sacred words of House Bolton, and tells the boy of what his bastard brother would have done. Tells the boy of the wars to come, and that he has sought House Bolton’s aid in the coming conflict. Tells the boy what he and his father have plotted, to ensure that future never comes to pass.

    (In which Eddard Stark receives a vision, and promptly yeets his backyard sociopath at the political nightmare that is King's Landing so he can deal with magic zombies in peace. This mostly works, except where it doesn't.)
