    Summary

    “I hear you’re cursed,” Poseidon says, and Odysseus is relieved that he didn’t have to be the one to start this conversation.

    “I am,” he supplies with a nod.

    “And what kind of curse did the titaness manage to wrap you up in?” He sounds bored. He probably is, but any good head of house would make sure his new prisoner isn’t spreading something that’s contagious.

    Odysseus steels himself. “It’s a punishment for avoiding sex,” he explains, miraculously concise.

    “What?” The room shakes.

    ---

    In which Polyphemus doesn't fall in front of the cave entrance, and thus Odysseus doesn't have to blind him. He never evokes Poseidon's ire.

    Odysseus still has the worst luck in all of ancient Greece, however, and winds up on Ogygia for six years anyway.

    So, when the king of Ithaca is injured falling through Charybdis' teeth, Poseidon has no reason not to assist. Zeus' gentle persuasion helps, too.

    Summary

    The story begins like this:

     

    There is a legend in Fontaine,

     

    That every time the sky does rain,

     

    It comes, not from wind, or cloud, or sky,

     

    But from the great Hydro Dragon, feeling sad enough to cry.

     

    Or,

    In which Freminet, somehow, keeps running into none other than the Chief Justice himself.

    Things all sort of begin to unravel from there.

    Summary

    “Virgil!” Patton yelled just as he popped his finger in his mouth. 

    Virgil had stiffened at the sound of his name and whirled back to face a very mad Patton and a surprised Logan. The taste of avocado had hit the back of his throat, which almost made him feel great: it tasted just as earthy as he remembered it being when his mother made it, with just the right bitter aftertaste  that made Virgil want more, although he didn’t remember it being quite so prominent--

    “That was the Prince’s Cake!” Patton had shouted, “As in Prince Remus! I don’t care if you are in good graces with his highness! That was a stupid- stupid -stupid-- what on earth were you thinking? Virgil--!!”

    And that was when Virgil had first felt the burning, like an itch in his throat that had suddenly swept him up. Patton’s voice had faded as he grabbed for his own throat, for his chest, for anything to remove the sudden agony ravaging his body. He had toppled straight off the counter in the middle of whatever else Patton had shouted, taking the cake right down with him.
    ***
    aka Virgil steals a taste of a cake that's not his and gets poisoned.

    Summary

    Xie Lian’s heart is too big. Even if no one appreciates it. Even if he’ll take some things to the grave. Even if it means giving up everything he loves. He’ll do it for you.

    And he did.

    It left him with nothing and just as he was about to fall into darkness an angel appeared. If his angel has two horns and looks a bit more like the devil he never cared.

    Summary

    Ajax had a soulmate mark, just like about half the population of Teyvat did.
    If Ajax ever found his soulmate, he would pretend to be normal for them. He would observe from afar if possible, and make sure nothing happened to them. That no ailments ever came to them. That they never came to lack anything.
    That was the plan. Or, at least, it had been, until the Tsaritsa requested an audience with him alone and asked to see his mark.

    “Tartaglia,” she began, serious. “That is Morax, the Geo Archon.”

    -------------

    Or, Ajax is Morax' soulmate, the Tsaritsa ships him off to Liyue, and he has to pretend like he doesn't feel like he's not good enough for the Geo Archon.

    [the word count up to chapter 14 was 69 420 and i think i won't achieve something as beautiful ever again]

    Summary

    "That was Floaty. Or at least, that's what I'm calling him. Fucking kid won't tell us his name," Dream carried on like nothing had happened, and from beside Techno, Wilbur started wheezing like he was dying. "I think he's twelve or thirteen. Wind magic, he's quick and real snarky, very malnourished, blind-"

    "Wait, blind?" Techno peered harder at the communicator. Wilbur stopped laughing. "How the hell is he able to slip by you then?"

    "Uses the air currents like feelers, I think," Dream's breath was coming heavier as he carried on running. "Gets an idea of where things are in relation to him. He doesn't always get it right, sometimes there are cracks in things big enough to feel like an escape route and he slams into a wall. Or he doesn't angle close enough to the ground and trips on things. He's uh-" Dream flipped the communicator around, and Techno blinked as Bad flew through the air, screeching the whole way. "He's slippery."

    ---

    TLDR: Blindinnit has wind magic and gets himself adopted by the Antarctic Empire's royal family.
