    Summary

    God knows it’s the longest, most quiet minute Jayce has ever experienced. Eventually, Viktor clears his throat. “Were you…Were you serious? About me joining you for Christmas?”

    It's so quiet that Jayce almost misses it.

    At some point, he also reminds himself to inhale. “Of course!” he breathes. “Viktor, I, I don’t want you to be here by yourself.”

    A faint frown tightens Viktor’s brow again, deeper than the last, but it’s gone as soon as it appears. He sighs and nods, almost to himself. “Thank you, I…I will take you up on that offer. If that’s okay, of course, with your family.”

    --

    College!AU - Jayce realises that Viktor will be spending the Christmas alone at the university. He invites him to spend it with the Talis family, instead. Apparently, the word "partner" can have all kinds of meanings.

    Summary

    A boy descends from the heavens, skin kissed by the sun, and hair as gold as the many medals that adorn his chestplate. His purple cloak billows over his shoulders like a Roman emperor, face as stern as any somber military leader, and his eyes are an electrifying blue that makes Nico think of Thalia.

    Instead of the fear and alarm shown by many campers, this boy scans the armor-cladded skeletons Nico summoned and the anxious diamond at Hazel’s feet. There’s a scar on this boy’s mouth that’s enhanced by his scowl—and suddenly, the harsh demeanor fades. The electrifying hue of his eyes disappear—matching the color of the morning sky instead. He glances at the skeletons once more, then looks at Hazel and Nico, impressed.

    “Whoa,” he says.

    Nico hates how his heart skips a beat.

    ---

     

    The month before Praetor Grace disappeared from Camp Jupiter was the happiest month of Nico's life.

    Summary

    "Dude, we've got an over-competitive golf dad, a badass art freak, a pre-med lax bro on the verge of a breakdown, a chronically naked rugby player, a beat-boxing giant, and an itty-bitty, baking figure skater - there's no way we came together accidentally. This was fate."

    "Or it's the normal progression of human beings making friends. Chill out, bro."

     

    (Or, the one where no one plays hockey, but it still manages to bring them all together.)

    Summary

    Charlie Spring finally settles on a university away from home, away from his past in Kent, hoping for a fresh start. And, to be honest, hoping for a man. His teenage years were filled with hardly a drop of romance, and let's be honest, there's only so much a teenage gay boy can bottle up. What he doesn't realize is that he's going to be surrounded by so many different, very attractive men in university, and that could have some consequences.

    Nick Nelson, hoping to get his own fresh start after fizzling out at University of Leeds, heads for a smaller school. Unfortunately, his brother's reputation follows him around like a bad case of the clap, attracting requests from various organizations and fraternities to join. What Nick doesn't realize is that his pathway is about to collide with several others during his sophomore year, revealing feelings he has denied and kept hidden for the past decade.

    We all know that Nick and Charlie are destined to be together, in any universe, but what will it take in this one?

    Generally mature, but E-rate will be added to Chapter summaries that are bit more *graphic*
