    Summary

    After a narrow escape from the Upside Down, it's hard to find your footing.

    Or: Steve Harrington deals with his terrible parents, Robin Buckley refuses to leave her best friend to fend for himself, and Eddie Munson simply will not stop lending Steve his clothes for no reason Steve can see.

    (Or: Steve cares too hard and too deeply to not have someone else care the same way about him. Everyone knows this except, apparently, for Steve.)

    Summary

    Mira and Zoey don’t know this yet (they will, one day soon, they will), but Rumi died for the first time the Monday after her eleventh birthday.

    Or

    Rumi inhaled, the rush of air filling her lungs, inflating that tiny balloon called hope trapped behind her ribs.

    “I love you, Celine.”

    The words tumbled out of her gracelessly, but so so sweetly. She waited, and all the while, that little balloon grew and grew, the plastic skin of it stretching and thinning with every second before—

    “You too,” Celine said back.

    ‘Pop.’

    “Celine,” Rumi tried again, voice shaking as tears she didn’t even know she still had left to shed began to drip down her left cheek. “Celine, I said I love you.

    Or

    If demons (even half-demons) could kill themselves, there probably wouldn't be many left. Rumi doesn't know this, yet. She learns.

    Summary

    Sevika tightened her grip. “Yes what?”

    “Yes, sir,” she gasped with no hesitation. It didn’t matter. It couldn’t hurt her. She understood the game they were playing. Sevika wanted to win, without seeming to realize Vi had already lost.

    ---

    Vi always makes the wrong decision.

    Summary

    Seven-year-old Percy knows what’s going to happen in the future, and he dreams about the heroes of the past. He doesn’t know why. He has nothing to do with the Greek world, he’s just trying to survive Gabe.

    Apollo, God of Prophecy, can’t find his new baby prophet. When he finally locates him, he’s not what he expects. He’s possibly the weirdest prophet he’s ever met.

    Nineteen-year-old Lee Fletcher, unofficial camp leader and adopted big brother to a whole camp full of demigods, has no idea what his dad, Apollo, is about to dump on his lap.

    Dionysus is both horrified he’s been dragged into this, and full of gleeful anticipation for the coming chaos.

    Triton is still grieving his daughter. Four thousand years later, he has no interest in this new demigod brother, but perhaps she would want her father to help him?

    Poseidon and Hades are revelling in the chance to be absolute drama queens.

    (N.B.: This story has been fully overhauled as of 6 Feb ’26, and the word count doubled. While there is a lot more world-building and new scenes, the expanded story has no impact on the existing later instalments. No need to re-read unless you want to.)

    Summary

    "Thank you," Percy said, accepting the tea gratefully. He wasn't a big tea person overall, but his stepmother had a very good knack for it. Godly power, or whatever. "And thank you for not hating me anymore. I know you aren't thrilled about my existence-"

    "No need to thank me for not being Hera," Amphitrite dismissed. Percy took a sip of tea. "That is what you meant, isn't it?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. For once, Percy learned from his mistakes and stayed quiet, though he did give her a bashful smile to confirm the sentiment. "Hm. Well, either way, I owe you thanks. Not many children would agree to spy on their father for me."

    Percy put the cup down. "I'm not spying on him," he reasoned. Amphitrite scoffed. "I just happen to be in many of the places he is when he's in the mortal world." A long pause followed, and Percy rolled his eyes. "Yes, he was seeing a mortal woman. Her name is Lea."

    "You owe me twenty of your mortal dollars, child."

    Percy bitterly slapped the paper bill on the table between them.

    Or

    Amphitrite has an odd quest for Percy. Strangely enough, it might be the only quest Percy has actually enjoyed.
