It went like this: Apollo pretended he didn't hit on Ares and Ares pretended he didn't like the attention.
The beggining was all harmless, really. Just a light flirtation, a look on the right time, looking away when the occasion called for. It was a 'if you blink, you'll miss it' development. Unusual for Apollo, yes. But he managed. Kinda.

Summary: Modern!AU. Arya couldn't choose something normal. Of course not.
-------------------
What do you want for your 18th birthday?
He had to ask. Of course he had to fucking ask. And she couldn't choose something normal. No, she had to screw up his life. She had to take him in a road trip! In a surprise road trip! No spare clothes, no food, just the car, the road and a map. And the fucking storm that decide to fall when they were on the road to fucking nowhere!
Oh, and the flat tire. And that's why he was drowning outside a road, trying to change the tire while she examined the map to try to find a way to somewhere.
"I don't know why I'm your friend. Honestly. Look at us! I am soaked to my bones trying to change this shit! It's getting dark, what time is it?" He checked his clock.
"It's not even 5 yet, Gendry! Stop whining!"

Summary: Modern!AU. The park is a peaceful place. Ideal for memorable moments with a dearest friend.
--------
They were at the park, lying on the grass and watching the wind move the leaves. She didn't want to talk about the exchange, not now. That was one of those perfect moments when they didn't need to fill the silence. They were comfortable enough with each other to remain quiet for long periods, just smiling, like they shared some private joke.
But of course, he had to destroy the moment.
"When are you going?"
"Saturday."
"This saturday? After tomorrow?" She nodded. "How long?"
Title: Dark King, Dark Prince

Characters: Gendry Waters, Robert Baratheon

Summary: Modern!AU. One night he decides to stay home. Well, not exactly home, but he feels like it might become home someday.
--------
The house was dark and silent, like a haunted castle. That was exactly what he used to think of his father's house. His house, he still had trouble forcing those words through his brain. A haunted castle of a fallen king. Haunted by the ghost of the woman he loved, Lyanna Stark.
Gendry knew the story, everyone did. Robert and Lyanna were engaged and and he loved her more than anything. But apparently her love for him wasn't big as his for her, 'cause she broke up with Robert, found a new love and had a kid with him. She had died on the birth and the baby was raised by Ned Stark 'cause the father had died as well, in weird circumstances. He had been shot by a man in a car, on the road by the river. The cops never find out who did and justice was never given to Lyanna's new love.
That had happened 26 years ago. One year before Gendry was born. One could say that Robert was getting over Lyanna, but fathering bastards was a pastime for Robert Baratheon. Gendry knew he had siblings, none of them born inside a marriage. He suspected that the oldest, Mya, had been conceived while Robert was still engaged.

Her smile died when she saw what he was wearing. That yellow hoodie. The one with a giant stag on the back. Under that, an ordinary black shirt she'd have seen in him at least a thousand times. Old jeans and even older black Converses completed his look. Now, Arya wasn't vain. She never cared about how people look, that was a Sansa thing. But after seeing him dress up to those dates, she was a bit disappointed.
"What?"
"It's the first time you come to my house in weeks and that's what you wear?", she rolled her eyes and moved from the door, so he could enter the apartment.
