Summary
That black mouth of his quirks upwards again. “Let no one say I am so inhuman I would not accept,” he says. A rough, cold hand goes to the side of her face. “With grave aspect he rose, and in his rising seemed a pillar of state; deep on his front engraven deliberation sat and public care; and princely counsel in his face yet shone, majestic though in ruin: sage he stood, with Atlantean shoulders, fit to bear, the weight of mightiest monarchies; his look drew audience and attention still as night or summer's noontide air,” he recites, putting feeling in it, and it feels as if it came straight from his soul, as if he feels what those words mean right to his core, and no, there is nothing inhuman in it now, is it?
What has Victor done? How is his fiend someone who can understand those words so deeply and so strongly?

Summary
Percy was reminding himself how falling in love with humans was not what he did like his siblings or like other deities that fell for mortals hard and fast, but looking at the stormy grey eyes and princess blond hair of this girl laughing at him , for the first time Percy couldn't remember why that rule even was .
*
Or aka Perseus is the smallest child of Rhea and Kronos, who was not even in many myths as he chose to be a very not used kind of an Olympian with that much of a power and he had sworn not to mendle with love with mortals, until he met the daughter of wisdom that stripped all Perseus's prejudices bare.

Summary
Regardless of how old you are, however, there’s a feeling of unease that swirls inside your stomach. You can’t help but wonder what it’d feel like if you dunked your head in the water and never lifted it up again. Would it hurt more if you drowned yourself now, or if you continued to live this life that you don’t quite understand yet?
Before you can make a decision, Father pulls the plug inside the tub, and the water drains.

Summary
“I can’t believe you’re finally letting me meet this man friend of yours,” Foggy says gleefully, handing her a bottle of bourbon. There’s still a bit of snow dusting his shoulders from outside, and she rolls her eyes as she shuts the door and points to the hook on the wall for his coat. He’s been talking about this dinner all week, trying to trip her up by asking little details when she’s distracted to try and get more (see: any) info.
“Promise me you’ll behave,” she begs, because she’s not above that. Not when her nerves are already fried. Not when she’s on negative hours of sleep trying to plan the logistics of what’s about to happen.
Foggy is going to meet her boyfriend.

Summary
Peter knows Tony doesn’t forget on purpose, and he knows that Tony means well with his concern. But, the man has to deal with the fact Peter isn’t a hero, and is in fact, a vigilante. If all he gets is a broken nose after a long night of patrol, Peter considers himself lucky.
A lot of vigilante things were lost on Tony, such as bad PR. Sure, the Avengers get some bad PR, but never J. Jonah. Jameson style, but then again, Spider-Man always had the best pictures, because Peter Parker gave them in for a bit of extra money.
There was some things you learn when you’re in Peter’s line of business, and that is, how to calm down a rape victim, how to help a lost child who doesn’t want help, who to punch harder than the rest, who are first time thieves, and that sometimes things like “don’t pull the knife out” is a rule best ignored, (unless it was somewhere bad bad).
You know Tony’s too far gone from the vigilante line of work, when it’s Pepper Potts, who tells Tony that a broken nose is the least of Peter’s worries, even though she too freaks out about it.Or;
5 times The Avengers (excluding Clint) forgot Peter Parker is a vigilante, and 1 time everyone remembered.

Taking a beating meant for Clint just because he looks like him is easy. It's in his nature. It is exactly what Barney was born to do. Protect his little brother in ways that people just cannot understand. The arrows, the bruises, and the almost killing him. Warped protection that ends with that girl leaving with the dog. Clint's cleaning him up and shaky. Maybe this is the first time someone took the chance to leave his little brother before he had left them.

The Hounds of Harrenhal by g0lightly

Summary
*Canon compliant except for the fact that Sansa is now Robb’s fraternal twin. Begins in 302 AC, making Sansa 19 and Brienne 21*
After Jaime’s death, Brienne takes over the Hound’s helm and persona in her grief. To restore his honor and legacy, she resumes her mission to find Sansa; along the way, she enters a tourney at the Eyrie as the Hound to win some much needed coin to continue on through winter. At the Eyrie, Lady Alayne Arryn begs the stranger in the Hound’s helm for help escaping a doomed marriage.
Brienne temporarily sets aside her mission to help the lady escape north to reunite with her family. Petyr Baelish then announces that the Hound has abducted Sansa Stark, who has been in disguise as his bastard daughter Alayne, and advertises a large reward for her safe return. All this as Tyrion uses his previous marriage to Sansa as an attempt to take the Vale for the mountain clans and Daenerys, eventually leading to a second dance of the dragons as the Long Night looms over a years-long winter.
Soon all the singers of Westeros would sing of Harrenhal’s Hounds, their witch queen, and the “abduction” that started it all - but life is not a song. In this story, it is far sweeter.
