I saw a lot of unwarranted criticism against ep06 of the Percy Jackson TV series, how there's no Lady Gaga or it didn't match the book. I think you guys were colored by the movie too much, with the trippy colorful lights and Grover's dancing. Iconic as that scene would be, it only works when the trio are late teenagers or near adults. Are you sure you're comfortable watching a bunch of 12 year olds gambling and clubbing?
Even if we followed the book exactly it would be a boring episode. If you remember The Lightning Thief, that chapter consists of the trio playing games all day and Percy only realised what was wrong when he saw the 70s-looking guy.
A scene like that would only last at least 10 minutes max, just like in the movie. It would be an empty episode leaving you wondering why they didn't just cut the entire lotus scene entirely and just explain the Nico plot points with a sentence in the future season.
I think this episode worked well when you insisted on having the Lotus casino scene. Instead of watching kids wasting time playing games. You get to explore the relationship between Hermes with Luke, and what's Annabeth's thoughts on it. And why after all this time Annabeth still believe in Luke. We also get to see the parenting style between Hermes and Poseidon. And how different Walker's Percy idea of his father is from ep03 till now.
Also, the taxi scene is fun. No notes.
I've been getting the wrong kind of allowance my whole life 😭😭

First Fic: a subtle electric fire
"Suki," he says, muffled. "Suki, tell me to stop crushing on the hot single dad at work."
Suki doesn't look up from painting her nails. "Go out and bag yourself a DILF, babe."
---
Zuko's insistence that it's him and his kid against the world is being seriously tested by Izumi's new teacher.
Sokka's determination to ignore hot parents is waning more and more as he gets to know the single dad of the new kid.
Everyone else is just waiting for them both to get their acts together.
Make Your Pointe by ShanaStoryteller
Ed doesn't know how he got himself into this situation.
And by situation, he means dancing the lead role in a ballet he barely knows.
Dreaming in Red and Gold by Batsutousai
When Drachma agrees to meet for peace talks at Briggs Fortress, General Roy Mustang is the one sent to represent Amestris. It just so happens that the Drachmans have their own Amestrisan, who is far too skilled at turning the most tedious of discussions into an exciting time.

Mei visits Xerxes as a princess of Xing, and Al finds himself falling in love with her.
a terrifying clamour of trumpets by ShanaStoryteller
Edward grabs Marcoh’s arm and says, “That stone – what can it heal, exactly?”
The old man’s eyebrows rise to his forehead, and he looks like he already knows the answer when he goes, “Why do you ask, Edward?”
There's no metallic footsteps so there’s no way Al’s close enough to hear them. “I’m sick,” he admits after another moment of deliberation.
Me @ Merlin Writers: What if You Didn’t Murder My Favourite Characters by CaffeinatedFlumadiddle
First Fic: Returning the Favour
Really?" Arthur asked, brushing the dirt off of him as he glowered at the man. "Again? I had it under control - and we aren't allies!" He added heatedly. Balinor shrugged, looking nonplussed by Arthur's anger as he stroked the dragon's wing.
"I know." Balinor said simply. "But I promised my son I wouldn't let you die."
"Your...You have a son?" Arthur demanded. Again, Balinor shrugged. "Why does your son...? Nevermind. Don't save me again!" He snapped, pointing a finger at the man. He turned to stalk back to the horse only for a column of fire to blow past him. The prince jumped. He spun around to tell the man off again but immediately noticed one of the remaining bandits who had been slowly creeping towards him burnt to a crisp. He looked back at Balinor.
"Sorry."
Or
Balinor lives. Arthur will do pretty much anything to get the man to stop saving his life.
Dragged Down and Hellbound by CaffinatedFlumadiddle
"I don't think you understand," Merlin said as he started walking backwards, brows wrinkled in confusion. "I can rip your throat out with my teeth and drink your blood. Does that not bother you?" He asked. Arthur finally glanced up from the papers in his hand to look at him, pausing his steps altogether. Merlin waited.
"...Merlin, you fell over trying to put boots on." He said. Merlin grimaced, looking down at his feet.
"I hadn't realized you were supposed to wear them all the time." He muttered, uncertain what this had to do with the fact he could murder everyone within a ten mile radius. Arthur sighed. "And those are bold words from someone who can't dress himself!" He added indignantly. Another sigh. Humans did that a lot as it turned out.
"Merlin, that's your job."
"And I've taught you several times. It isn't that hard."
"No, I - " Arthur started and closed his eyes. "I don't have time for this."
Or
After living with demons for sixteen years, Merlin decides to explore his human side by venturing to Camelot. Also, he has a destiny to unite his species and bring magic back into Camelot, but he's not too worried about that.
A Love Potion by Liepe
The Slytherin House, more specifically Pansy and Blaise, have been unamused by Draco’s behaviour lately. It has been decided that the perfect punishment would be to give Draco a love potion that would make him act like a love sick puppy around Potter. Nothing happens and the Slytherins can’t figure out why.

Steve learns history through the use of television, and he starts to see that neither are really that bad. And through it all, he might just have found a family.
in an empty moral space by blueh
“Bring Spider-Man to us, Mr. Stark,” High-heels says and rattles off an address. “If that bug isn’t here in the next twenty four hours, then your intern gets it. We are not going to ask a second time.”
There’s a pause.
Then, “You want Spider-Man?”
“In exchange for your intern,” High-heels affirms.
“Spider-Man,” Mr. Stark repeats. He sounds more amused than worried for Peter’s apparent safety.
also known as: Peter Parker is held hostage…in order to get to Spider-Man. Throw in some Accords reconciliation and, well, Peter’s life just got a whole lot weirder.
Birthday For Two by Inkinmyheartandonthepage
“I’m going to meet MJ and Ned,” Peter said casually even as his palms grew balmy, and his heart rate kicked in his chest.
“Now?” Tony’s brows pulled tighter together.
Peter nodded as he shifted his weight from foot to foot. “I’ll be back later.”
“It’s the middle of your sisters’ birthday party,” Tony said slowly.
“Yeah, well,” Peter shrugged and took in a shaky breath. “Ned and MJ wanted to celebrate my birthday too.”
OR
Tony forgets that it's Peter's birthday too.
No song makes me feel as sexy and strong and powerful as Haley Reinhart's cover of Seven Nation Army

I'm frustrated that there's no more young justice so I made my own one-shot :)
I need a whole tv show about Jason todd
It needs to follow him in his crime lord days like from the start all the way to his confrontation with Bruce
It also needs to have flashbacks to his life before (both on the street and at the manor) in like a manic way to emphasise his madness he got from the lazerus pit. (Just imagine him beating the shit out of tim while he has flashbacks to "Robin is magic" days)
And i need it to like be cut off very abrupt when Bruce throws the batarang at his neck, like the moment the blade hits his neck all the lazerus pit madness drains from his body and there is an echo of child Jason yelling "dad" at bruce.
Followed by the explosion and then you just see Jason choking on his blood once again all alone
That's how season 1 ends with perhaps a sneak peak to season 2 where you see Talia's feet walk up to jason
And maybe you here her say "you failed again" before it cuts to black.
Ugh i need this so much (I also need the show to not cut down of the brutality of Jason's life, it's very important😌)
soo my friend asked for jason fic recs today and i made a list (too long! for what!!!) but might as well share it with u guys too so they can get some love maybe ^_^
