Summary
Percy Jackson was 8 years old when his mother married a monster. He learned very quickly that while monsters are real, heroes are not, and no one was coming to save him.
Then, one night, the world cracked open. A storm, a monster, a mother’s last desperate act to save her son—and suddenly, Percy was running toward a truth he was never meant to know. The stories were real. The gods were watching. And he was part of a world where fate is written in blood and monsters do not hide behind locked doors.
But even as he faced creatures from myth, even as he fought for his life, the worst monsters were the ones he couldn't outrun. The ones that lived in his skin, in his memories, in the hollow ache where something like hope used to be.
With dangerous new enemies and unexpected allies, Percy was forced to face the truth—not just about who he was, but about the battles he’d been fighting all along.
Because some monsters wear human faces. Some wounds don’t heal. And some destinies can’t be escaped.
(Or: What if Gabe was a whole lot worse than he was in the books/ shows? How would that affect Percy’s journey to becoming a hero?)

Summary
"I’m only two minutes late!” Izuku protested. Had he missed the start of an important test? None of the national, standardized tests were supposed to happen this month and even being two minutes late to one of those wouldn’t elicit this sort of reaction. They were discussing their career interest forms today, but that was it. Nothing time-critical was supposed to be happening.
“Midoriya, you were reported missing a week ago. No one has seen you for eight days. The police have been combing the city for you.”
"I’m sorry. What?”
Midoriya Izuku went missing for a week and turned up in a back alleyway with skills he's never even heard of and no memory of how he came by them. He resigns himself to never learning the truth of what happened to him, but he shouldn't waste this chance should he? He could become a hero with reflexes like these.

Summary
"'A life for a life,' it had drawled happily. 'But with a twist! Edward, I want to believe you're not so naive to think that reality revolves only around your singular, dispensable timeline, yes?'"
--
The Law of Equivalent Exchange is bullshit. That's what Edward Elric decides after he wakes up in a dumpster after he makes a risky deal with Truth. Aizawa Shota's list of problem children just keeps getting longer by the second, and Japan probably isn't ready for the uncontrollable hurricane of destruction that is the Fullmetal Alchemist.
--
FMA x BNHA crossover fic because I'm a little bit funky and cringe! Canon divergence where Ed gives up his life to bring Al back, but it doesn't go quite as planned.

Summary
Loki thought he'd taken his children somewhere safe. Somewhere far from Asgard, from the wretches that got them on him. Somewhere they could simply live in peace. All he wanted was to raise his children, to be a good mother to them and keep them safe. He thought he finally had the chance.
He thought wrong.
Sequel to Gifts, by lies_d.
