  1. Summary

    When Paxton landed an internship at the Magnus Institute, he assumed it would be a lot of mundane filing and maintenance. Instead, he ends up knee-deep in archived murder cases that he's definitely underqualified to be dealing with. Go figure.

  3. Summary

    Afterlife AU where Les Amis tie up loose ends, learn a few things about themselves and others, meet people they never expected to meet, and keep an eye on worldly politics. Lots of hurt/comfort, full on self-indulgence. Enjoy.

    Bear it aloft, O roaring, flame!
    Skyward aloft, where all may see.
    Slaves of the World! Our cause is the same;
    One is the immemorial shame;
    One is the struggle, and in One name—
    Manhood— we battle to set men free.

  5. Summary

    Various short stories about the Riordanverse characters. Featuring friendship, grief, paradigm shifts, healing, and confronting your demons. Works in vague chronological order (rather than by posted date).

    Summary

    Camille thought that death can’t be worse than looking at Saint-Just’s face every day. Turns out that it’s exactly what death is.

    Summary

    Tributes, victors, mentors, people who love them. Their lives, their deaths; who remembers, who doesn't.

    Character exploration, missing scenes and backstory for canon and original characters: how the District 2 Career Centre makes its tributes, how they win their Games and how their mentors put them back together. How some rebel, some don't and some never get the chance.

    We grew up in golden light
    Every chance to get it right
    What did we do with it?

    It’s gone, what I had back then is gone
    Can’t get it back again

    Sorry for the things we should have done
    Sorry for the kids we pushed too far
    Sorry now for all the lonely hearts who can’t move on because

    We waited

    For love, for dreams in the night
    For days to come when we’d be all right
    I can’t remember why I did the things I did
    I was just a kid

    All the lines we knew back then, they now are faded
    All the laws we once obeyed, they have betrayed us
    People that I used to hate, I hardly remember
    Forgive the children we once were

    Summary

    Right so this all got started because of that one infamous tumblr post regarding the Grinch and Tony the Tiger's tragic break up: www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/comments/k51rck/so_gaud_is_making_a_tony_the_tigergrinch_fix_fic/

    Anyways, I hope the existence of this fic bothers you on a level you struggle to articulate to your loved ones and/or therapist :)

    Summary

    Late night, watching television
    But how'd we get in this position?
    It's way too soon, I know this isn't love
    But I need to tell you something...

    “I like her,” Devon says, shooting a look at Brutus to make sure it’s okay. “She’s not what I’m used to.”

    Brutus just laughs, and he tugs Devon down beside him onto the porch swing. “I’m sure she ain’t,” he says. “But that’s good. If you can handle Misha you can handle anybody.”

    Every future power couple starts somewhere; for Devon and Misha it starts with painting, sparring, a dead girl, and an angry former classmate at a bar.
