Summary
Six months. Wylan had been doing this for six months.
The real victory, he thought as he walked around his tiny studio apartment at one in the morning – just several blocks east of Nina’s – was that he didn’t know what was worse for his father: being found out for attempted murder, or having someone discover the Senator’s son worked at a phone sex hotline.
--------------------
Or, an AU where Wylan works as a phone sex operator, Jesper is drunk enough to make a call, and Kaz always has a scheme.

Summary
Jesper says it must be blackmail. Maybe murder. There’s no other way Kaz Brekker could already be holding a full professorship at the University of Ketterdam, no matter how many books he’s written. Inej, trapped by an adjunct’s contract which is the only thing standing between her and deportation, is willing to risk the obvious dangers of his company in exchange for the advantages, professional and otherwise. But when the department’s budget comes up suspiciously short, Inej’s job is on the line, and Kaz isn’t ready to let her go without a fight.

Summary
"Five years have passed since infamous pop rock band The Crows have permanently split without so much as a clue of what might have caused the sudden break-up. The former band’s dedicated and still very much active fanbase has, over time, accumulated an array of conspiracies and theories, many of which suggest a disastrous falling-out between at least half of the group.
Has there really been bad blood between most of the crows all this time? Well, it now seems like the answer is yes! And nobody is surprised that it turned out to be none other than Jesper Fahey – former The Crows drummer turned part-time actor in a superhero franchise with a history of erratic behaviour and substance abuse – to stir the rumour mill and break the silence for good."
OR
What if Jesper did a tell-all podcast interview resulting in the band’s comeback?

Summary
“She’ll never claim me,” he whispered. Silena shook her head, eyes wild as she looked around for anyone who could be watching.
“My mother doesn’t remember half of her children as it is,” she said with a note of bitterness. “If you do something to impress her, it won’t matter. Return the bolt in her name. She’ll claim you if you act the part. If you stay unclaimed then they'll figure out what you really are," she said, squeezing his hands tightly. Percy's heart sped up.
"I - I don't know the first thing about Aphrodite-"
"My mother was born of sea foam," Silena cut him off. "And if you're really who I think you are... you are the sea. You can pull this off," she said and touched his cheek. "Get the bolt. Survive," she said. Percy swallowed.
"What if I can't act the part?" He asked. Silena's expression went blank for a moment. Slowly, she slipped off her bracelet and placed it in his hands.
"If you're going to be one of us... you better learn."
Or
AU where Percy has to hide the fact he's a Big Three kid otherwise he'll be killed on the spot. Unfortunately for him, unclaimed kids tend to raise the most suspicion... but he might have found a loophole in the form of Aphrodite.

Summary
“Harry!” He looked back to see his mentor’s face, pale underneath the streaks of blood and ash that covered it. His golden eyes were wide as they locked on Harry, seeming almost nervous.
“There’s no time!” Draco called out, grabbing his hand and pulling Harry towards the massive turner that would take them (hopefully) back twenty years into the past.
“Forgive us!” Remus called, raising his voice now over the building hum of the time turner, carrying a note of desperation. “He always meant to tell you. But then he was gone and it didn’t seem my place.”
“What–” Harry began, but then the power of the turner coursed through him, through his arm where Draco held him and he felt himself get dragged backwards into the vortex. The last thing he saw before his world went dark was the pleading in Remus’ eyes.
“Forgive us.”
Or: Harry and Draco travel back in time to defeat Voldemort and find that nearly everything they knew about the past (and present) is built on lies.
