    Summary

    They're having breakfast when he tells them. He only remembers because he'd dreamed weird again last night. This time it was an older boy, who was trying to stop a little golden-haired baby from crying.

    “What,” says Mom, in that flat voice she gets when she's trying not to sound surprised.

    “...what?” says Dad, who clearly hadn't been listening. That's fine, Shane forgets to listen too, sometimes.

    “I keep dreaming people I don't know,” Shane repeats patiently. He can be patient.

    Shane Hollander habitually ends up in other people's dreams, which is fine. It's a family trait, on both sides, to slip into the dreams of the people you love. What's less fine is how Shane keeps dreaming strangers.

    Or: like if a soulmates au took several detours.

    Summary

    Threads of the Greek and Egyptian tapestries meet, and a demigod is raised on the wrong side of the river. Perseus Jackson is raised a scholar of the House of Life and, more importantly, a Kane—for better and for worse.

    “here is the deepest secret nobody knows, (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide),

    and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.”

    -e.e. cummings

    Summary

    The Boston Raiders are making decent time heading up into Michigan when one of the horses almost breaks an ankle on what’s left of the road.

    A highly lethal—and highly contagious—virus has swept across the planet, taking down the power grid, toppling society, and leaving behind only a tiny fraction of the population. For a while, it seems like everything is over. This is not the case.

    Or: The world ends. Shane Hollander starts playing for Boston. Yes, in that order.
