    Summary

    Sjoerd was his Kerch tutor, but he was also so much more. He was Wylan’s friend, he was someone who cared about him, he was Wylan’s lover. Lover, because Sjoerd said ‘boyfriend’ sounded juvenile, Wylan’s because Sjoerd chose him. 

    or: Wylan was lonely, when Sjoerd came along he decided to follow him, never noticing the red flags until it was too late.

    Summary

    Wylan Van Eck has spent his entire life having his place as an omega beaten into him. His father made sure he knew his role was to stay quiet, obedient, submissive, made sure he knew that his only worth came from what an alpha could take from him. So when his father decides to sell him off into a marriage for his own political benefit, Wylan knows better than to hope his new husband will be any different.
    Jesper Fahey doesn’t even know how Kaz Brekker managed to talk him into marrying some merchling brat as part of one of his schemes. But when he first lays eyes on his new mate, he realizes maybe he doesn’t mind it as much as he previously thought. If only the omega didn’t seem so terrified of him.

    Summary

    Percy Jackson thought the war was over. But one sharp word from Annabeth during a war council cuts deeper than any blade—and when a secret prophecy comes to light, their argument shatters the fragile bond they built thru the years.

    Storming off with Jason and Nico at his side, Percy doesn’t expect to collapse in the woods, marked by something older than gods and titans: the Abyss itself. Now his powers slip beyond his control, Greek and Roman camps come together again, and the mark on his skin grows stronger with every passing day.

    Annabeth realizes too late what she’s lost. And while Piper finds herself drawn to Percy’s loyalty and quiet strength, Percy knows his heart has never stopped belonging to the girl who broke it.

    Summary

    “I’m Bobby, by the way.” The man looked at him expectantly, waiting for Evan to answer. Bobby then raised an eyebrow, further trying to prompt an answer out of him. But instead of giving him his name Evan simply muttered “Doesn’t matter.”

    “Of course it matters.” Bobby told him, smiling kindly before the pair started walking.

    Evan shoved his hands in his pockets, “No, it really doesn’t.”

    “Well, is there a nickname I could use instead?”

    “Why do you care?” He huffed.

    “I need to call you something.”

    Evan frowned, no one had ever cared enough for that, but then again the only people he knew were his family and they didn’t care about him, at least not about him as a person. ‘Evan’ was the name of the thing they’d created to keep Daniel alive, and now ‘Evan’ wasn’t needed, he’d been discarded, so he might as well get rid of the name too.

    He hesitated for a second before saying “Buck, you can call me Buck.”

    or

    At 17 Buck's brother dies.

    At 17 Buck meets a man on a bridge.

    At 17 Buck moves to LA.

    At 17 Buck begins again.
