    Summary

    Percy's on a journey. What kind? The kind that involves a lot of making apologies and learning more about himself. He's got a long list of people to talk to.

    Nobody knows where Percy is, since he wanted to do this alone, and without interference - from gods and demigods alike. This is his journey of atonement and self-discovery, and he doesn't feel safe doing that if others know he's doing it. He feels suffocated - trapped.

    Now he has many to speak to - from a monster to old friends to even some particular gods. He doesn't know if he'll mostly be apologizing or asking questions, but one thing is for sure.

    He needs to do this, no matter what. No looking back, no matter how many emotions he starts to feel.

    Summary

    “When our demigod heroes complete quests of a certain difficulty or influence, we offer them immortality, to become one of us. We tell them it’s a reward, and perhaps it is, but truthfully it is because their divinity has begun to outshine their humanity, and their mortal forms won’t hold forever. The same holds true for you.”

    After Harry Potter's return to life in the Forbidden Forest, the Underworld deities judge that his time as a mortal must end. Harry, who was only just starting to get to grips with a magical world without war, must now enter a new world of myth, and take his place in the Underworld Court. Of course, Harry's never been very good at doing what he's told and won't give up on the life he fought for so easily.

    Summary

    Those Winter Sundays
    by Robert Hayden

    Sundays too my father got up early
    and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,
    then with cracked hands that ached
    from labor in the weekday weather made
    banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.

    I'd wake and hear the cold splintering,breaking.
    When the rooms were warm, he'd call,
    and slowly I would rise and dress,
    fearing the chronic angers of that house,

    Speaking indifferently to him,
    who had driven out the cold
    and polished my good shoes as well.
    What did I know, what did I know
    of love's austere and lonely offices?

    --

    Mostly canon-compliant stories about Maverick & Bradley, and the ways love builds warm fires.

    Summary

    "Steve Harrington isn't straight. It's been a few weeks since he sat on that bathroom floor at Starcourt with Robin, where she shared her biggest secret with him and unintentionally unlocked an entirely new side of Steve. Since he’s had to come to terms with being open to exploring that side of him, but he's finally acknowledged that he's most likely, definitely, without a doubt into guys."

    --

    After coming to terms that he may be queer, Steve Harrington does a little exploration on his own and meets the one and only Eddie Munson. Just as things are going well and accepted the fact he's falling for Eddie in their own little bubble, Steve's world is shaken by a tragedy he can't quite talk about. And when the dust settles and he's nearly ready to put the pieces back together, his worlds collide when he realizes his Eddie is the same Eddie playing D&D with the kids. The same Eddie who's now wanted for murder thanks to another upside down monster. How will he save the day when he can barely focus watching his ex mingle with his monster fighting team?

    Summary

    Hey God, it's me, Eddie. I hope you don’t mind that I’m sitting in your house thinking gay thoughts.

    Eddie couldn’t help but giggle to himself as he thought the words. If he couldn’t be a bit silly while having a sexuality crisis in a Catholic church – when could he? 

    Christopher leaves for Texas, Eddie goes back to therapy, unearths an emotional lockbox he had been fourteen years old when he buried, and has a lot of thoughts about how Buck is sunshine incarnate. In hindsight, it probably should have been obvious he wasn't straight.
