    Summary

    Or... what if Annabeth had become a Hunter of Artemis and Percy had accepted the offer to become a god?

    Summary

    On Percy's sixteenth birthday, stood before the Olympians; he never followed the line of Athena's gaze, never saw Annabeth's stricken face after he was offered godhood, and so his impulsivity got the best of him. At that moment, overcome with guilt and fear, he thought only of all the lives he might save if he were more powerful.

    Thalia fell into step beside her. “This isn’t supposed to be your job anymore.”

    “Yeah, I thought that was the deal too,” Annabeth agreed.

    “I don’t like the sound of it, this prophecy. Seven? When has seven ever been a good number for a quest? And only demigods. Giants can only be defeated by gods and heroes together. How do they expect seven demigods to defeat them? The gods are fracturing and we all know its only going to get worse.” Then a thought seemed to occur to Thalia, and her jaw went slack.

    Annabeth could see Thalia had caught up. They both knew they were thinking of the same person, Annabeth could see it in her sister’s eyes; the image of a god that was purely Greek, undivided, with every reason to be involved in the progress of a demigod’s prophecy. They both knew he was sure to involve himself one way or another, he wouldn’t be able to help himself.

    Summary

    “They’ve already won,” Garth broke the silence first, running his hands through his shaggy red hair. “This means all the uprisings, all the unrest, it’s all just a distraction. Keep us responding, keep us busy–”

    “They haven’t won, Garth,” Imra cut him off, placing a hand on his arm. “As long as we’re breathing, they haven’t won. And now we know the game they’re really playing.”

    In the two decades since its formation, The Legion of Super-Heroes has become a symbol across the galaxy of peace, justice, and cooperation throughout the United Planets. The promised era of galactic unity seems farther out of reach than ever before, and there's rot spreading along the foundation stones of their worlds. The gold has begun to tarnish, the darkness falling fast.

    After uncovering a link between a shadowy terrorist network and the highest levels of United Planets governance, a conspiracy forms within the ranks of the Legion. They have one goal: stop the coup before it's too late, even if it means sacrificing the Legion in the process. The enemy could be anywhere, anyone, even one of their own. All they have may not be enough to save the galaxy, and win the chance at a future.

    Summary

    "I know I don't possess any allure for you." Her voice came out fragile, but firm. "I'm not the diamond of the first water—my goodness, this is my sixth season! I don't have a respectable lineage, and I was self-taught because we couldn't afford tutors for anything other than embroidery. I don't even have a dowry, and Your Grace must imagine why." She took a deep breath, her chin wavering. "And I know I'm not the kind of beauty you seek... or what you might want to have me as a duchess. But if you accept my hand out of mercy for my misery, I promise to be the best duchess, and the best wife, I can be for you."

    Ms. Chase, the daughter of a bankrupt barons, was quite resigned to her five seasons of failure, which hadn't resulted in even a single flirtation, much less an advantageous marriage that would save her family.

    That is, at least, until the arrival of the Duke of Thesford, Perseus, the one responsible for ruining her life and of her family for so many years, resulting in the situation she found herself in for so many social seasons.

    A Percabeth fanfic in the "enemies to lovers" style from the Regency era I convinced myself that everyone wanted.

    Summary

    In the weeks after the Battle of Half-Blood Hill (as the Ares kids dubbed it), Annabeth would only remember the aftermath in sensory snapshots, all the details lost to the static of shock. But she remembered the pain of desperation to get to Percy and Thalia overwhelming and overriding everything else. And when she finally did get a moment with them as they lay unconscious in the infirmary, she was terrified by how much she cared. Years worth of defenses of brick and barbed wire built around her heart had crumbled, and she hated how vulnerable she felt. So for the three days Percy is unconscious, she does her best to avoid him. She told herself its boundaries. It was healthy. It's not until Clarisse confronts her about running away that she finally reconsiders her perspective. The girls have a heart to heart about the realities of having friendships as demigods while sparring, and Annabeth has a revelation.
