Summary
Before the two of them can slip away, Isaac claps Colin on the shoulder in a goodbye, then does the same to Michael. “It was great meeting you bruv. Colin should bring you around more often.”
“Even though I don’t know anything about football?”
“That can be fixed,” Isaac says easily. His arm is still on Michael’s, so instead of letting go, he drops his grip to hold Michael’s hand and digs a Sharpie out of his pocket. “Here’s my number, gimme a ring and I’ll explain the offside rule again. Can’t believe Colin hasn’t converted you already.”
[OR: When he is introduced to Michael during the team party at Ola’s, Isaac develops a crush on his best mate’s supposed wingman. Not that he’s aware of that.]

Summary
It looks nothing like the ones Superman used to change in, and has no time traveling capabilities that Frank can tell. The only notable thing about this phone booth is the demigod inside it. Hours ago Percy Jackson had single handedly fought an army of ghosts, securing a win by bringing down a massive glacier. And that probably wasn’t even the most impressive thing Frank had seen him do in the short time they’d known each other.
Currently he’s engaged in an argument about…Sexism? London? Frank isn’t sure.
“Tell her there will be traditional post battle cheeseburgers.” Percy says, scowling. “That will surely sweeten the pot. Please. Thank you. Goodbye.”
Son of Neptune AU where Percy calls some friends to help with the battle in New Rome on the way back from Alaska.

Summary
“You could end up in the hospital, or jail.” Isaac points out, setting the drinks he’d left for two seconds to get down in front of his teammates.
The lads give him confused looks. “Is it dangerous?” Dani asks. He looks very alarmed.
“Nah, I’ve done it a thousand times. Seen coppers with it done too. But that doesn’t mean anything I guess. Corruption and double standards and all.” Jamie says, running a hand through his hair.

He’d expected photos. He gets photos.

Summary
Michael is a man with a lot of secrets, who can't afford to draw the public's prying eyes. So dating a closeted football star whose recently promoted Premier League team causes waves wherever they do is not his brightest idea. But the heart wants what it wants, and Michael finds himself falling for Colin despite the risk. Complications abound as the two of them navigate a relationship that is both a secret and full of them, made that much trickier by Colin's captain and best mate, who Michael's thoughts return to often.

Summary
Chairs are set up to ring the firepit and two of them are occupied. One by the boy she’d mistook for Apollo.
The other—
The other makes her breath catch. Unlike his companion, he doesn’t turn at Bianca’s approach. He continues to study the flames as if watching long enough would make them reveal their secrets. Silver glitters along his fingers over fingerless gloves. A black denim jacket decorated with patches and pins clings tight to his lithe form.
“Hey Bianca, we’ve got—” Will, he’d told her his name was, starts as he holds up the stick he’d been cooking some kind of meat on over the fire.
“Nicodemo.” Her brother’s full name slips from her lips without permission.
Her brother doesn’t look at her. “Hey B.”

Summary
Prompt 2. A no football AU where Jamie and Dani are teachers at a school and the kids they teach won't stop asking the pair if they Like like each other (they're basically bullied into dating by a bunch of 12 year olds)
The crowd of kids stare up at him, expecting an answer. “Of course I am not homophobic!”
A few accept this easily. But the older kids have a gleam in their eye, none more so than their current ringleader, twelve year old Nora Collins, who isn’t even a student here. But her mother is the school counselor and her godmother is the principal so she’d been put on the roster anyway.
“Then why are you saying they can’t get married?” Nora questions.

Summary
“You heard me.” Colin crosses his arms, head held high. “You might as well tell them the real reason you’re mad at me. Don’t dress is up as professional disappointment in my playing when you and I both know the real reason you’re acting this way. Just call me some names and move on Isaac. It’s 2022, for god’s sake.”
AU where the homophobic fan was kicked out early in the match, but things still come to a boil in the locker room during episode nine.
