Summary
With the Summer Olympics less than four months away, Annabeth Chase and her beach volleyball teammate, Piper, are right on track to being invited to represent the United States in Athens. But that level of premiere athletic training doesn't come cheap and Annabeth is running out of options— so when a University administrator reaches out with an unexpected opportunity, she'd be a fool not to leap at it... right?
Suddenly, Annabeth and Percy — a young hotshot swimmer — find themselves at the center of a media charade that dredges up secrets that were supposed to stay buried. With the world watching, Annabeth is forced to face her past and take control of her future as she learns that, sometimes, life is all about playing the long game.

there are worse games to play by revelationinthelightofday

Summary
I start to drift back across the rink towards the boards so I can set down my earbuds — they’re the cheapest ones I could get, which means they go flying at any significant movement, and my leggings don’t have goddamn pockets — when I realise I’m no longer alone, now abruptly face to face with another human being.
Worse, it’s a human being I recognise. And certainly not one I’m thrilled to see.
It’s one of the hockey players. Captain of the men’s team, to be specific. He’s twice my size, broad-shouldered and brawny, with dark hair and russet skin, a single white scar bisecting his brow that’s dramatically rumoured to be a souvenir from a backwater bar fight. He’s the sort of athlete that never fails to reduce women into giggling caricatures falling over themselves, and more infuriatingly he knows it.
Xaden Riorson.
Or: the hockey player/figure skater AU that nobody asked for!

Summary
It had meant something worse.
It had meant the worst possible thing a woman could be in war.
The three of you all owe me, she whispers to the congregation of dragons that are a constant witness to her own thoughts. Her hands are trembling as she disposes of the draught into the trampled grass; she’s light headed, and fairly convinced she’ll shortly throw her guts up. Or pass out. Or both. None of us can tell Xaden.

Summary
When Violet Sorrengail is eighteen years old, her olympic dreams turn to dust and she swears to never attend another swim meet again. Six years later, she’s reinvented herself. As the best media manager Scribed has to offer, she’s well-traveled, well-paid and entirely content with life.
Enter Xaden Riorson—olympian, gold medallist, world record holder…devil incarnate. No one’s ever gotten under Violet’s skin quite like him. From the moment they met she’s hated him, so when Violet’s co-worker is forced to vacate her position with Team USA and she finds herself in Paris, she swears to stay as far away from him as possible.
Unfortunately for her, he never got the memo.

Summary
“Our armies in Aretia have fallen, your highness.”
King Tauri rose from his throne in a swift movement. His hands gripped the fine clothes he wore as he cursed.
“Where is General Sorrengail?” He asked. He looked out of breath, even though he had barely moved.
“She’s returning to Navarre, with her husband,” he hesitated. “They… Fen Riorson—” Tauri growled at the mention of that name. “He… he has taken Sorrengail’s youngest, Violet, as hostage.”
“What?” he all but screamed. It couldn’t be… Could he know about what Violet truly was?
“He said she will stay in Aretia with them, to ensure you respect his demands as the new king of Tyrrendor.”
Or, the AU where Fen wins the Battle of Aretia and becomes king, Violet is forced to stay in Tyrrendor under the tutelage of Liam’s parents and has to marry Xaden. Oh, and Violet absolutely hates his guts

Summary
Dick rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I’m mostly used to sparring with my little brothers, it’s kind of just habit, and I was having fun. I didn’t want the match to be over too quick.”
“Too quick?” Derek asked, eyebrows raised. “I’m twice your size, kid.”
Dick shrugged. “So’s Bruce and we’re pretty much tied at this point, or at least according to the score board the kids started to keep for Saturday spars.”
“Saturday spars?” Derek repeated, following him towards the locker room.
Dick flashed him a smile. “What? Don’t have any weird family traditions?”
“Not ones that include hitting each other,” Derek said
OR The BAU gets a probationary profiler who is a little more than he appears at first glance. Or second. Or third. Just how many secrets can Dick Grayson be hiding from a team full of profilers?

The One Where the Justice League Almost Didn’t Figure it Out by batsandthebirds

Summary
“I can vouch for him,” Cyborg said, sitting up straighter. “We’ve worked together before. I can’t promise he’d want the job though. He works out of Bludhaven, last I checked.”
Dinah perked up from where she was slumped against the table next to Oliver. “That’s next to Gotham. Batman, what do you know?”
All eyes immediately turned to where Batman sat with his arms crossed, looking impassive as always. There was a long moment of silence and the corners of Batman’s mouth turned ever so slightly downward. Finally, in a flat tone of voice that gave no more away than his face ever did, he said, “He’s… well trained. Fast. Could be useful.”
...
Also known as, the League eventually figured out that Nightwing is Batman's son, but it takes a while.

Summary
New Message from TK Strand:
On my way home. You have ten minutes to get back in bed and tell me you’ve been there the entire time.Carlos, who was in the kitchen, groaned after looking at the message from his new phone, one that hadn’t been destroyed with a meat tenderizer by a serial killer. He was fine. Just a concussion, some bruised ribs, and some aftereffects of morphine overdose. He didn’t need to be on bedrest.
Okay, so maybe it was a severe concussion with a small brain contusion.
And maybe he was still being monitored for any aftereffects from a morphine overdose and subsequent cardiac arrest.

Summary
When a field trip to Stark Industries ends in disaster, Roger Harrington finds himself faced with an impossible choice. Suddenly, Tony Stark is shoving an NDA in his face while Peter Parker stares at him with terrified, desperate eyes. Nothing in his 13-year teaching career could have prepared Harrington for this, but he knows one thing for sure: ten years ago, he'd stared down into the sightless eyes of a seventeen-year-old girl, and he'd sworn to himself that he would never again lose another student. He's going to do everything in his power to keep that promise now…even if it costs him everything.
Set during and post Spider-Man Homecoming. A realistic field trip story that also explores the long-term consequences of trauma and responsibility, written by a real-life teacher.

Summary
“If you did play chess," Ross said, "you’d remember that a pawn can become a queen. The most powerful piece on the board, Parker, remember that? But—” Ross smiled— “only if it obeys.”
He adjusted his tie, stood, and looked down at Peter. “I’ll ask you again,” he said. “Eventually. You may feel differently after you’ve been living in a six-by-six cube without sunlight or fresh air for a few years.”
“What pawns do,” Peter said, voice shaking slightly, “is sacrifice themselves for the greater good. I have no regrets.”
He had a lot of regrets.
Like, a lot. A crapton. A shitload. An overloaded dumpsterful.
“When I visit you on the Raft,” Ross said, “you’ll be old enough to grow a beard.” The cell door clicked shut behind him.

“I know all about your secret identity.”
A beat of silence. “Um,” Peter said, bunching his sweater in his hands. “Which… which one?”
--
Peter has three secret identities: Spider-Man, the superhero who swings around the city to save people. Parker Benjamin, who gives Tony Stark unsolicited advice on his research. And NightMonkey, the Instagrammer who keeps uploading increasingly popular but embarrassing drawings of Iron Man.
And he can juggle them all just fine, thankyouverymuch.- Language:
