Summary
“Cluck!” Estelle said brightly. Athena sighed. “Read?” Estelle tried again, shoving the book back at her. Athena stared. While it was most certainly beneath her to entertain this child in any capacity… well. This Estelle was related to Perseus Jackson. Gods only knew that her intelligence would not be nourished in that household. While she had heard plenty of nice things about the mother, Athena was of the belief that no intelligent woman would ever willingly spend time with Poseidon.
“Very well,” Athena said slowly and took the book back. “But you must learn to read yourself. I understand that your brain is not developed, but that should not stunt your perseverance to gain independence and pursue intelligence on your own.” She warned. “You aren’t dogs-”
“Woof!”
“I do not have high hopes for you.”
Or
Annabeth is the sole reason Athena hasn't blown up Percy's little sister. Well, that and she accidentally becomes indebted to a snotty teenager.

Summary
Naruto is only five years old when the Hokage whisks her away from that terrible orphanage and gives her an apartment of her own.
But Naruto is only five years old, and the money she’s given once a month barely lasts two weeks with the prices that the shops charge her. Naruto is only five years old, and she doesn’t know how to cook for herself or how to safely pick up glass from shattered windows. She doesn’t know how to get bloodstains out of the floor either.
Konoha has abandoned her. Luckily, she isn’t the only one.
Street kids teach her how to lift wallets from civilians that won’t notice. She finds siblings among those with no parents or matrons to tell them to hate her. Prostitutes teach her how to take care of herself. She finds mothers among those who dry her tears and teach her how to smile in the face of all hardships. Gangsters defend her home from the villagers that constantly vandalize it. She finds mentors among those who teach her to bare her teeth and fight back.
Konoha is eager to forget the kind of power that comes with a jinchuuriki’s sacrifice, but the red-light district isn’t. They know that power like that can change their lives. Why would they alienate the girl who holds it?

Summary
Post‑war life was supposed to be easier. Fred Weasley survived — mostly intact — only to find himself stuck in the Ministry’s shiny new “Reproductive Compatibility Programme.” It’s mandatory, humiliating, and comes with questions no stranger should ever ask with a straight face.
All Fred wants is to get through the process with his dignity intact. Instead, he gets the least romantic wedding in Wizarding history, and to a Lestrange, no less.
