    Summary

    Apollo remembers the time, way back then, before the war with Gaea, when a clumsy, sweet, unclaimed demigod would pray to him. Pray for his approval, hoping in vain to be his very own son. It could have been possible, after all, Frank Zhang was amazing with a bow, however it was not so. Mars was his father, and even though it irked him that the god of war had only claimed his son once he had needed his help, there is nothing he could do about it.

    Or is there?

    ———————————————————————

    In which Apollo basically adopts Frank after his time as a mortal and Mars needs to suck it up!!

    This is born from me making bad decisions and becoming a coffee addict at 3 in the fucking morning

    Summary

    "You'll be remembered as a hero."

    Ryland Grace hates that sentence.

    Heroes volunteer. Heroes aren't shoved onto spaceships and sent light-years from home.

    After learning that taumoeba can consume xenonite, Ryland gives up his chance of ever seeing Earth again and turns the Hail Mary around to save Rocky.

    Rocky is thrilled.

    Ryland is not prepared for Rocky's constant hovering, concern over his eating habits, refusal to respect personal space, or the sudden revelation that Rocky and his mate Adrian have apparently been looking for a third.

    Three years to Erid is a long time to spend trapped on a spaceship.

    Especially when Rocky has decided that Ryland belongs with them.

    Summary

    “They like you. Have a crush on you. Whatever you want to call it,” she declares, and it feels like the floor’s dropped out from under me. “It’s normal, part of child development and all that. And let me tell you, it definitely happened in previous years. It seems like your students this year just happen to be especially bold.”

    No, no, no! This can’t be happening to me.

     
    -----

    Ryland notices that some of his students are behaving oddly around him. This pattern follows him onto Erid.
