    Summary

    There’s a new god in the pantheon; Andrew remembers hearing about the scandal a while back, the newest Demeter having a child with the current Zeus and then going on the run, child in tow. They call him Persephone, the god of springtime and new life, the antithesis of Andrew's realm. It would be ludicrous of Persephone to ever interact with Andrew at all.

    If only someone told Persephone that.

    --

    “Hades, right?” Persephone asks.

    “Andrew,” Andrew responds, and Persephone hums.

    “Nice to meet you, Andrew. I’m Neil,” Neil responds. Andrew cuts a look sideways to see Neil watching him, something assessing in his gaze. Andrew nods in response. “I have to say, you’re not nearly as scary as everyone says you are,” Neil continues.

    “You barely know me. Give it time,” Andrew says, because the rumors don’t exaggerate. People fear him for good reason.

    “I’d like to, I think,” Neil says. Andrew quirks an eyebrow at him. “Know you,” Neil clarifies. Before Andrew can think of a response, Neil’s head turns. “I have to go. Zeus called for me, and he’ll notice if I’m missing. Thanks for the cigarette.”

    Summary

    There was the matter of the owner. It could not be said that most people, when asked about their mental picture of what the owner of a bookstore should look like, would answer angry-looking goth covered in burn scars from the neck down. 

    He also had a terrible dye job.

     

    Or: five times Michael went to Gerry's domain for help, and one time the opposite happened.

    This was great! I loved the characterization and the idea that Gerry would become a supernatural consultant and own his own bookshop!!

    Summary

    Grantaire is earnest in this, and it’s heartbreaking. Enjolras can’t look away. This is just a rehearsal. Grantaire is still wearing skinny jeans. They have lights and phones and textual analysis and thousands of years of history between now and then and yet–

    When Grantaire speaks, the distance collapses.

    (Grantaire as Hamlet.)

    Summary

    “How’d you end up in the theatre department?” Jack asks, gesturing toward the two stools in the booth as he steps backward to take a seat in one. Tentative, Sammy follows suit. It’s less intimidating, both of them sitting in front of a rather large soundboard. Gives Sammy something else to look at. “Mary just told me she found me an assistant who was doing homework at rehearsal.”

    “My best friend’s playing Algernon,” Sammy says, and leans over the board to the small window separating the sound booth from the black box. He can just make out Ben in one of the corners, jumping up and down. Probably a warm-up, since Emily and Reagan are doing it next to him, but that’s also just Ben’s energy. “I go into anaphylactic shock when he’s more than two feet from me.”

    Sammy turns to see Jack biting down on a smile. Christ, he’s cute. His eyes are green, and Sammy hates that especially about him.

    Summary

    Unfortunately for Wylan Van Eck, legally changing his last name would be asking for his father to kill him. On the bright side, renaming himself 'Wylan Eck' for the next couple of years in college was totally do-able. The laughter would fade eventually.
