Summary
"You're telling me you all haven't learned how to defend yourselves. In a class, called Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Basically, Professor Chase. Almost all of our last DADA teachers have fallen on the more murderous side," a boy in blue said forlornly. "I think it's because of Harry Potter. They really do like trying to kill him." The class murmured in agreement.
It took everything in Annabeth to not stare at them aghast. She really needed to teach Dumbledore what a background check was.
--
Annabeth Chase is issued a quest and she wants to scream. Quest? Could she even call it a quest? Either way, while learning magic and teaching a bunch of mini-wizard students simultaneously was not on her winter break agenda, she still took it on without complaint, intent on completing it as efficiently as possible.
However, it turns out the Wizarding World is horrendously incompetent and perhaps a tad bit fucked up, and Annabeth knows she can never say no to a challenge. She rebuilt Olympus -- how hard could rebuilding an entire magical society be?

Summary
The blonde girl slipped through the door and smiled pitifully at the teacher. “Sorry, we’re late, I just had to show a new student around.”
The teacher nodded understandingly, “I was just about to introduce myself--” he frowned. “We?”
The door slammed open, hitting the wall adjacent to it, opposed to how Kayla had just slid silently into the classroom. The classroom spun a little as Benjy stared at the person standing in the doorway and... what? He took a moment to squint because there was no way that was-- holy shit it was.
Because standing there, from the pair of his faded pink Converse shoes to his ruffled black hair was Percy fucking Jackson.
~ Percy Jackson returns, but instead of facing monsters, he has to deal with high school drama, past friends, and the worst of all, acne.

Summary
It is January of 1994 and the Hogwarts population could not have chosen a worser way to start the year.
"They saw the ghostly bodies fall to the floor, thudding like pieces in a game of chess. They saw the Hogwarts ties hanging around the neck among most of them, like nooses ready for the execution. The House patches on the fronts of their robes bare reminders of the war that would kill them all, whether it be Gryffindor or Slytherin, or Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. Why couldn't they realize what it meant?"
~ an interlude, in which after seeing the battle of hogwarts, the wizarding world processes what it all means

Summary
“This shouldn’t even be possible,” she muttered staring up at the high cavern and the dozens of spirits surrounding her. He grinned, his hollowed eye sockets boring into her soul, “Welcome to the Underworld.”
Nancy Bobofit was quite unremarkable in her short, insignificant life. Well, of course, there was always Percy Jackson. Sometimes closure can come from the most surprising places, even after death.

Summary
"They all seemed to be mid-movement, eyes hardened, with concentration and determination. More than a good quarter of the holograms were Hogwarts students, decked out in their uniforms, looking as if they came straight out of class. Some of the adults looked like they were from the Ministry, but some were in the midst of a duel with some students, while others were stunning the black hooded figures."
"A sign flashed over the bodies, making the situation even worse. May 2nd, 1998."
---
In which in the midst of being hunted by the infamous murderer (and Azkaban escapee), Sirius Black, Harry Potter witnesses a part of the Battle of Hogwarts with the rest of the Hogwarts population
OR

Summary
Because Mike still reaches for him first. Still saves him the front seat; still seeks him out automatically in crowded hallways and noisy rooms. Still builds futures around them with casual certainty, like there’s no version of his life where Will isn’t standing directly beside him.
This is just how Mike is. He always has been, really. Fiercely loyal and strangely intense and occasionally just impossible to understand. Will’s survived over a decade of friendship navigating the inconsistencies in Mike Wheeler’s behavior. He’s survived monsters and possession; the literal apocalypse.
Surely he can survive this too.
He just has to stop wanting more from it.
That’s the real problem, Will reminds himself. Not Mike. Not Jane. Just him, still reading too much into every look and touch and half-finished sentence because some hopeless, pathetic part of him refuses to learn its lesson.
[Or: The world doesn’t end, nobody dies in the final battle, and everyone has to figure out what to do with the rest of their lives anyway.]

Will watches as he passionately lip syncs to the song, grimacing as he begins to mime out riffing on an air guitar.
"Hey, doesn't this song remind you of you? I mean," his eyes widen slightly with dismay as the man begins to try and serenade him in some sort of falsetto. "You're out of touch, I'm out of time-" his voice cracks as he
singsscreeches. "You get it? 'Cause you're like the boy outta time, you know becau-""Yeah, I get it."

Bookmarker's Notes
already so compelling from the first scene (love the continued use of water-related symbolism). super super cinematic with the transition from 1984 to 1989 will. felt like that and the whole vibe of this story captures the feeling of the summer before college so well!
plus the way op writes the party's dynamics and banter is absolute perfection. madwheeler working at scoops ahoy? yes please!! dustin bothering the sinclairs' peace? good for him!! byler being byler? rip my heart out!!
