    Summary

    Myth says Hermes lulled Argus Panoptes to sleep, then killed him without a fight.

    Myth is wrong.

    Argus wakes. He gets one good hit in before Hermes ends him for it, and gods don’t bleed for nothing. When Hermes washes the ichor from his skin at Trikrena, the spring where the nymphs first bathed him, something in the water answers back.

    Somewhere else, Luke is dying with a Titan screaming inside his skull.

    ———

    Hermes never had a son who remembers dying

    Summary

    For a very long time, the being now known as Luo Binghe was alone.

    It's funny how alone can shape you. Maybe it's only after he's no longer alone—once Shen-laoshi gives him a name and so much more—that Luo Binghe realizes this. 

    But he's getting ahead of himself.

    Summary

    Iron Man paused. “Oh my god. You thought I was a robot.”

    “No, I—” Steve felt his face flushing. “I…considered the possibility,” he admitted.

    “You thought I was a robot who’s been hitting on you.”

    “Is that really so crazy?” Steve felt an inexplicable need to defend himself. “In the forties, I fought a Nazi with a skull for a head.”

    Summary

    Jack was a normal, albeit self-important, young businessman. Up until he wasn't.

    Problem A: He woke up in the body of the unfathomably handsome teenage boy residing in T.M. Riddle's diary.

    Problem B: This apparently meant that he was somehow transported into the world of Harry Potter, a property of which he hardly knew anything about.

    Light at the End of the Tunnel A: He managed to attain a physical body.

    Problem C: Everyone and their mother was of the belief that he was Voldemort's son, and therefore destined to kill them all. Harry Potter himself seemed unshakably sure of the notion that Jack was out to kill him.

    Problem—well, maybe he ought to leave some of the alphabet for everybody else.
