    Summary

    Pearlescent Moon of the east was a Ruler. She was born of the earth and air just the same as the rest of them. She was chosen by the gods to help just the same as the rest of them. But as the rest of the Rulers chose their patrons, gaining their immortality and gifts, Pearl never completed a ritual. She let herself keep her own counsel in the frigid plains of the east, without godly help or gifts, staring into the wind of the meadow unflinchingly.

    And then a parrot is found in her garden, and she has a really weird week.

    or, pearl was never chosen by anyone, but when she finds a bird left behind after a pillager attack, she takes him in. and he’s, like, probably magical.

    Summary

    “Did you win?”

    “Of fucking course I did,” Seele scoffs. “I know how to handle a car, princess.”

    “Why do you keep calling me that?” Bronya wonders aloud, ignoring the fact that the name stirs a curious excitement in her chest that she doesn’t get when the other strangers she meets call her that. She’d heard it enough in her lifetime that she could be considered actual royalty at this point but nobody else had quite made it land the same way Seele did.

    This time when Seele sends her a smirk, it’s definitely intentional. “I know how to handle my girls, too,” she says, and then her gaze drops deliberately to Bronya’s lips.

    Bronya, Formula One world champion, meets Seele, an underground street racer.

    Summary

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    Odysseus of Ithaca, his family by his side. A family more loving than the one the gods were born into. And is that not tragic? They are supposed to be more than humans in every way and yet, somehow, this is the part where they’ve failed. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: divine and powerful and above all mortal, ageless and holy and fated to be great. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: a father who struck down his child and her siblings who stood by and did nothing but watch. What does it mean, to be a god? He does not have an answer.

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    Faintly, Apollo realises that Athena does not think of her family as she dies – but of a mortal man and his wife and son; of a carved wooden owl and olive trees; of an infant in her arms and bright smiles.

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    (or: Gods are complex beings. That does not mean being siblings means nothing- not when their sister is suffering their fathers wrath. It is wrong: they will not stop it. All they can do is collect what's left in the aftermath, and pray that it may heal.)
