    Summary

    It’s almost funny how insignificant Gabe had become. His once worse nightmare, the sound of a belt swinging and the burst of iron in his mouth, was little compared to the monsters and Titans he fought daily. Percy had stood face to face with Kronos, with Gaia, Gabe was nothing compared to them.

    Yet - because there was always a yet - he could never fully shake the fear that came to him young. You would think that it would fade with time, with his muscles and skills and how honestly, Percy could kill a God these days.

    But it never left him, it wouldn’t leave him.

    -

    Even years later Gabe still terrifies Percy, but he manages to keep it together until he has a nightmare and Annabeth is there in the aftermath

    Summary

    Iwaizumi’s still staring at the note. Oikawa thanks anyone in the high heavens that he left the little confession—I think you have a nice smile ♡—anonymous, because he’s not sure he would be able to handle the scrutinizing glare Iwaizumi gives at the note directed at himself.

    “Sooooooooo,” Oikawa draws out after the silence grows too much for him to bear. “What’s it say?” he asks again.

    Iwaizumi’s stare finally lifts from the note and oh, wow, Oikawa definitely cannot handle such intensity from his ace directed at him off the court. He grins nervously as Iwaizumi squints at him, his eyes darting between Oikawa’s likely panicked expression and the note still in his hand, before closing his eyes and shaking his head.

    “Iwa-chan…?”

    “Nothing,” Iwaizumi interrupts gruffly before Oikawa can ask again. He folds the note back up again and slips it into his pocket. “It’s nothing.”

    Oikawa’s grin falters.

    “Nothing, huh…”

    ---

    or, Oikawa not-so-sneakily leaves some love confessions for Iwaizumi and very much does not anticipate his reaction

    Summary

    Dallas hadn’t spoken to his kid brother in six years. Not since he’d left New York.

    If he was honest, he hadn’t really even thought about the kid. At first, it had just been too painful. But it got easier. And the farther and farther South he found himself the easier it had become to forget about Ponyboy Winston.

    ---

    Or the AU where Ponyboy Winston is sent down to Tulsa to live with his brother Dallas. But it would only be for five months. Because Ponyboy would never forgive his brother for leaving. He and Dallas would never get along...right?
