Summary
May Castellan visits the Oracle of Delphi when she is only 4 months pregnant with Luke, this fractures fate and creates a divergent path.
Luke starts to dream when he is 6, he sees the future that could be, one where he joins Kronos and ruins the people he loves; he decides he doesn't want to be that person and makes a vow to never become him.
This changes everything as Luke is forced (by his own decisions) to remain Hermes' favoured son and the camp's big brother figure, only one of those things annoy him and its not looking after bright eyed children.
Luke now spends the rest of his demigod life trying to redeem himself from the sins a future version of him has committed and keep the people he cares about alive, healthy and out of trouble; this goes about as well as you'd expect.
Featuring: annoying gods, being the Fate's fave chew toy, being everyone's gay awakening and camp mom(cough therapist cough), the shame of crimes committed and trying to redeem oneself and the complexity that comes with that when you haven't committed those crimes yet, shady patronage/champion deals, multiple side quests, and a magic teleporting swords that plays elevator music.

Summary
"The Gods love you but not enough to save you."
Sarah Willoughby, a daughter of Hades, who had survived the Salem Witch Trials and so much more had spent three centuries with Lady Artemis. For a Demigod of her status, she’s lived a relatively happy, peaceful life save for three terrible occasions. Each beginning due to some God or Goddess creating a terrible mess. Each time, Sarah found herself torn from her home and forced to clean up the mess but she would always return to her happy life at Lady Artemis’ side.
Now, with ancient beings stirring and the threat of war looming over her world, Sarah’s peaceful existence is shattered yet again. Although, she is a far cry from being at the centre of it, the sword of Damocles still swings precariously over her head. For she is a hero that had been happy for far too long. Perhaps after three centuries of living a relatively joyful life for a Demigod, it’s time for Sarah Willoughby to sacrifice something.

Summary
Meg was used to many things, perks of being a demigoddess who was best friends with the sun god and grew up with a wannabe god emperor. But even this was just a little too much.
She stared at the person currently sprawled dramatically over the couch in her living room and raised an eyebrow. Then she turned around and walked back out of the room.
She was not dealing with this.
*******
Hermes does not understand why Apollo has changed so much after his latest trials. Meg helps.

An Older Percy au!!
Percy & Jason were born before the oath of the three big gods, for disclosed reasons Percy dislikes most gods except his father and stepmother.
He wanted to possibly hide and wait for everything to blow over, it seems that may not be possible after receiving a letter from the God and King of the underworld himself to go on a quest for his helm...

Summary
“Luke, are you listening?”
A beat.
“Please answer me. I haven’t seen you all day.”
Luke wants to make a remark on how he doesn’t see him on most occasions—Hermes somehow still manages to jerk away at any point of the hour, business calls and all that. No matter how many times he sits Luke down and tells him that he will be here—he just isn’t.
—
Or;Hermes saves Luke just before his soul is carted off to the Underworld. Now, stuck in a glorified prison, Luke might as well try to mend the distance between him and his father—even if that includes something as trivial as flying. Aka, sorta wingfic for all my folks starving of Luke and Hermes content.

Summary
Everyone had had a fantasy when they woke up before making a mistake. Sometimes, it was a small one that end up forgotten. Sometimes, it's one that changed their whole life.
Amongst demigods, it was more often the second kind.
But the issue when something normally impossible happen is that you have to improvise fully. Luke always pretends that he is good at it.
It isn't the case.Series

Summary
—Connor nodded and didn’t stop walking, out of words to say. It was strange, for him.
It was easy to feel his tongue light and his mouth filled with words, that tumbled out one after the other barely coherently, in a never-ending flow of thoughts, victims of a nonexistent filter between his brain and mouth.
He never had much to say, when it was about his father.
(It was easier this way.)—
or
Connor Stoll is a white canvas made of potential and underrated angst, and author is weak.Series

Summary
It was no secret Apollo favored his daughter Lily Evans, and since she was magical she could see him as long was a devotee (which she had been all her life)
It was sort of a secret that Thanatos had blessed a member of the Peverell family line, a boy James Potter who should have died in the cradle.
It was absolutely no secret that Hermes had a particular weakness for pretty mischief makers and gorgeous hot tempered women.Little Maia Apolline Keres Potter was the rather powerful product of that union. Blessed by both her grandfathers and her father Voldemort never stood a chance.
Now, with her free of her prophecy at the tender age of 12 Hermes delivers her to camp with basilisk venom and phoenix tears still in her system. -

"Just tell us our dad's name! It's so simple!"
"I really can't—"
"Is it Apollo? Dionysus?"
"No."
"Zeus?"
"Absolutely not."
"Quick, Travis, what other gods are there? Hades? Poseidon? Hestia? Hermes? Jesus?"
"Hestia is a maiden goddess and Jesus is not part of our culture."
Or Chiron's first meeting with brothers went not as stellar as he wants it to be.
