    Summary

    It’s almost funny how insignificant Gabe had become. His once worse nightmare, the sound of a belt swinging and the burst of iron in his mouth, was little compared to the monsters and Titans he fought daily. Percy had stood face to face with Kronos, with Gaia, Gabe was nothing compared to them.

    Yet - because there was always a yet - he could never fully shake the fear that came to him young. You would think that it would fade with time, with his muscles and skills and how honestly, Percy could kill a God these days.

    But it never left him, it wouldn’t leave him.

    -

    Even years later Gabe still terrifies Percy, but he manages to keep it together until he has a nightmare and Annabeth is there in the aftermath

    Summary

    Hands go around Wylan’s neck three times in his memory, at varying degrees of official strangulation. He wonders if with each time, he became more separated from his body, or more forced to reconcile with it. Either way, he’ll try to keep all that mess locked away under the surface, hidden away from Jesper especially because he can’t stand to lose him. Shouldn’t he have known it would all come crashing down?

    -

    A few moments of Wylan’s life, three of which where he was being choked, and the night where his secret—his father, his past, and seemingly everything else—is revealed.

    Summary

    Once, Kaz had said that Wylan thought like a lockpick. Wrong. Wylan thought like a clock, ticking, ticking, counting down the seconds he had left to live.

    Breathe, he told himself, told Jesper, as the world spun and the canal waters swallowed him under: six minutes. He could survive without oxygen for six minutes.

    ----------------------

    Or, a Wylan character study: the one in which Wylan meets a lost prince, Jesper writes a song, and Kaz loses a chess match.
