    Summary

    When the agony finally ebbed, Nico lifted the hem of his shirt with trembling hands. His breath hitched as his eyes fell on the mark now etched into his flesh.

    In ancient, glowing script, two words stared back at him: Phoebus Apollon.

    Nico di Angelo’s life ended at the age of twenty-four—short by mortal standards, though surprisingly long for a demigod. But when he awoke, it wasn’t in the Underworld. It was over a decade in the past, in a world that wasn’t quite the one he remembered.

    Because in this world, soulmates were real.

    Summary

    When Nico di Angelo was fifteen years old, there were a few ideas he was certain were fact: He knew who he was, dorky and kind of scary; Jason Grace was the best guy on the planet, and Nico would never love anyone else; Sometimes, Percy Jackson was kind of a dick; Having a dad who wears a cloak of tormented souls will make a guy perpetually unpopular.

    Nico's life didn't quite end up as he'd planned.

    Now, he's been turned into a god and left on an isolated beach, imprisoned with the last two people he'd have chosen, Percy Jackson and Jason Grace. Together, the three have to navigate the new world of godhood and the frustrations of prison. They'll need to make peace with their jagged pasts and forge a future that none of them planned.

    Summary

    Stiles is ten when he saves the Hales from their burning home and Derek from a wolfsbane bullet, and this establishes a pattern that seem to continue indefinitely.

    "Then he's facing a burning home, and he wraps the hood of his sweatshirt around his mouth before he pushes the door open and steps inside. There's Mr. Hale asleep - he hopes asleep - on the couch, next to - Stiles thinks that's his brother but there are so many Hales, who can keep track. He rushes over and starts shaking him, can see the rise and fall of the man's chest so he knows he's alive, but he's not waking up.
    He shoves away his hood so he can shout, "Mr. Hale! You have to get up, there's a fire! Mr. Hale, get up!" Nothing, he's not even twitching, both of them taking in deep even breaths like they're having the most peaceful of rests, and Stiles is going to cry. "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"
    There's a moment, where all Stiles can hear is the blood rushing in his ears and not the roar of the flames or the creak of wood, then with a violent, silent pop it's all back and both of the men are gasping awake, eyes open and jumping to their feet. "

    Summary

    “What’s Percy short for, Jackson?” Mr. D asked one afternoon where Percy had been roped into playing pinochle again.

    Percy looked up from his cards, “it’s short for Perseus.” Mr. D was apparently known for getting all of the campers' names wrong, so Percy thought it was a strange question. Percy also thought Mr. D was a strange man–god, whatever–though so he didn’t say anything about it.

    “Why did your mother name you that?”

    Percy just shrugged. His mother had never told him why she had named him what she did, and now he would never know.

    Mr. D looked at him for what felt like forever. “It’s an unfortunate name.” He finally said. Percy felt like he should have been offended–if only on his mother’s behalf, but there was something in Mr. D’s tone that made Percy not want to question it.

    He looked back down at his cards.

    ---

    Or, Percy resembles Apollo's long-lost lover, Perseus. This isn't a good thing.
