Summary
“It can’t be that bad,” Will reasoned, because what Annabeth was saying highlighted the importance of an expectation; a planned design; a predetermined path. To follow the story that was written for you. But, from what he’d learned from ancient myths, things like fate were always given to the heroes. And Will—well, he wasn’t made out to be someone like that.
“Yes, it is! If you went on a quest or had to fight a monster without—”
“Annabeth, come on. Me—on a quest? Fighting a monster? That stuff’s for the half-bloods like you. The ones with the prophecies and the big destinies. We can’t all become myths and legends.” And that was okay; Will was fine staying in the safety of Camp Half-Blood. He was fine with taking care of its campers. With doing what was expected of him as a healer. With fulfilling his duty.
She rolled her eyes at him, as if she understood something he didn’t. “I don’t think I was completely wrong when I thought you were the one. We don’t know why yet, but I know—you’re going to be important, Will.”
---
In which Will learns what it means to be a hero.

Summary
Look, Will Solace didn’t know what a half-blood was. As far as he was aware, he was just a normal kid living a normal life. Except, he wasn’t. The circumstances of his birth demanded more. Prophecies and inevitabilities. Things that will happen, are always happening, as if they already did. Somewhere in the distance, this was how the story began.

fishing for grief & other easily escapable emotions by anumone_7

Summary
"Do you believe in heaven, Agent Red Star?" Mizi wonders, peering up at Ivan. Her neck hurts. Everything hurts, really. It feels stupid. Her mother has already told her that she's going to the store today to get a new fish, so the other one in the pair doesn't notice and tragically give in to loneliness. Mizi wishes her pain were so replaceable, too.
"Would you like me to believe in it, Agent Pink Jellyfish?" he asks, leaning down so they are at eye level. When the adults do it, Mizi tends to feel even smaller. But when Ivan does it, she feels just right-sized. "I mean, I do believe they have to go somewhere. The law of conservation of energy demands it."
Mizi sighs, shoulders sagging. "I think I slept through that lesson. Do you think Till's mother went to the same place, too?"
(Or: Mizi's goldfish dies, leaving her pondering over its fate. Ivan suggests a more practical method of mourning. Spoiler Alert: They decide to eat it.)

Summary
Ivan breathes a humorless laugh. "I don't know what it is you want from me."
Till furiously snaps back, "I want you to—" before cutting himself off. He takes a deep breath and relaxes his scrunched-up facial features before continuing, quieter. "I'm your best friend. I find you half passed out in some—fucked up garden that you've been coughing up for a year, and I'm freaking out because I don't know what's going on or—or if you'll be okay, and now that I know you're okay, the doctors are saying they can't let you go because you're too damn sick to be left alone!"
His lower lip quivers ever so slightly. Ivan, for his own sake, unfocuses his eyes until Till is only a shapeless blur of colors in the middle of a sea of hospital white.
"I'm your best friend," the blur repeats, breathlessly. "I want you to fucking say something to me."
Hanahaki disease is, quite famously, a condition born from love. Ivan is convinced that his case is the exception to this rule. And when each of his friends inevitably starts catching on to his quickly deteriorating health, everything goes spinning out of control.

Me enamore del tipo equivocado by Katherin_Sofia

Summary
Todo comenzó con un accidente, un pelotazo en el rostro. Suficientemente fuerte para dejar a Nakamura en una confusión de sentimientos.
Pero al abrir sus ojos, vio al chico más hermoso que pudo haber conocido. Su cabello castaño oscuro, su mirada preocupada y expresiva, además de su piel blanca tan suave. ¡Oh! Takeuchi era tan apuesto y más cuando se disculpó por el golpe con el balón de futbol.
Todo sería tan perfecto… sino fuera por ese tipo que no para de entrometerse entre él y su amado ¿Cómo se llamaba? ¿Hiroke? ¿Hitome? ¿Hikomo?Ah… Hirose…
Que fastidio.

Summary
—Si me dices que esta es una cita voy a querer otra —admitió, sintiendo que el calor le subía a las mejillas como hormigas en la piel—. Voy a empezar a pensar cosas.
—¿Qué cosas?
—Que quieres salir conmigo, ja, ja.
En lugar de reírse, en vez de pedirle que no dijera tonterías o salir huyendo, el sonrojo de Till se volvió más profundo, sus ojos brillaron de emoción y su brazo volvió a rodearlo con timidez. Ivan no pudo hacer más que respirar tembloroso, se secó las manos sudadas en el suéter para calmarse un poco, para recordar que no estaba soñando.
—¿Entonces me aceptas otra cita?
Till es el objeto de estudio favorito de Ivan, lo ha observado por años y lo conoce bastante bien. Siempre ha sabido lo imparable que es, pero nunca esperó que llegara el día en el que le daría vuelta a su mundo y lo invitaría a una cita. Salir con él es como un sueño que se niega a creer, pero Till continúa sacudiéndolo con sus muestras de afecto, así que a Ivan no le queda de otra más que admitir que quizás su estudio no era tan imparcial como creía.
