Summary
Achilles cannot imagine what this prince from the surface might be like. Raised by Demeter! A young god with his father’s wrath and his mother’s impetuousness, fuelled by his grandmother’s calculated spite. He thinks of the swathes of dead that disembark Charon’s ferry still shivering and huddled together as though their shades could hold warmth.
Perhaps the Zagreus who has grown up with cold eternal is as icy and cruel as Demeter herself. Perhaps he will bring nothing but strife. Olympian history is full of sons overthrowing their fathers, after all.

Summary
In the tomb-like dark, the woman on the throne shines like starlight.
Despite the very real ache in his chest whenever he wakes, Claude Amir Nasim knows that the woman haunting his dreams for the past few weeks is nothing more than a figment of his imagination—a gorgeous mirage whipped up by a cocktail of stress and painkillers and a nasty concussion from a field trip gone south. There are so many other things to be concerned about this year than chasing a fantasy. Like choosing what to research for his archeology thesis. Or dodging graduation questions to avoid the existential angst of having to say goodbye to the one place he considers home.
But when the woman on the throne appears in his advisor’s office one morning, Claude realizes that there may be more pressing mysteries to attend to during his final year at Garreg Mach.

Summary
How Cullen and Dorian become BFFs. Inspired by a certain cutscene (you know which one), which made me wonder how Cullen and Dorian got to know each other in the first place. This story takes place in the background of the events of the game, and there aren’t any specific spoilers. Fem!Inquisitor/Cullen, along with background Dorian/Iron Bull. Happy New Year, all.

Summary
He writes the book as a coping mechanism. The Adventures of Star-Lord isn't a best seller, but it does help Gregg Quill get over the loss of his daughter, his grandson: helps him pick back up and keep on living.
He doesn't expect, almost thirty years later, to find that his little Star-Lord has grown into the galaxy's Star-Lord.
He doesn't expect to have the story come to life before him, in the flesh: with a few crucial revisions.
He certainly doesn't expect Peter to come back home.

Summary
There was nothing wrong with being a fan of the Steel Samurai, but as a grown man, an ex-convict, and a prosecutor with a knack for being the scariest guy in the room in any given situation, Simon Blackquill had no plans to admit his love of the show to anyone... until a certain spirit medium entered his life.
As for Maya Fey, what were the chances she'd meet a REAL samurai, and one willing to watch the Steel Samurai with her, at that? Talk about a reason to celebrate--burgers, anyone?

Summary
Response to Kink Meme request:
"I would kill a man or two for an AA/Persona 4 crossover.
Like how would each character's less-than-stunning traits manifest themselves? How would they react to seeing everything about themselves that they hate spread out in front of everyone? What would their Persona be?
And would there be characters who simply couldn't face themselves? Or characters who destroyed their Shadows instead of accepting them, like Mitsuo did?"

Peggy was amused; he could enter into enemy territory without fear but he didn't know how to accept open appreciation for what he was doing to fight the war. Especially from the opposite sex.
