Threads of Fate Anthology by butterflies_and_dragons

Summary
Anthology containing:
Bloodline
Children of the Elder Six are dangerous, ancient power sings in their veins. The Sons of Kronos aren't supposed to have anymore children, but when have they ever been good at following rules.
Poseidon has fathered twins- twins that herald a dark turn for the gods and the world.A Percy Jackson AU in which things are a bit darker and a bit more powerful. In depth looks at the titans and the gods as well as demigods that I created as well. Percy has a twin and they have some more cousins on the godly side but that's not important yet. Still follows the same timeline. Starting before the birth of the twins and then will keep going.
This story also focuses on the relationship of the Titan Kronos with his children and his wife, looking at him as a more complex character than a simple 2-D villianBasically PJO and maybe longer but I make it deeper and way more complicated
This is the Original Bloodline story by Butterflies_and_Dragons!!
Every Six Weeks
Percy knew his sister was stronger than any other, that she bore a burden that no one could understand, and that’s a tentative peace between them and the titans rested on her shoulders alone.
But Percy also knows that his sisters mind is fracturing as she crumbles under the stress of guilt and her growing power- power she only denies herself, power that can kill her. He can only hope that he along with the rest of the cousins can save Rhea from the growing danger of her own power.
But Percy is not safe from danger himself. The primordials are awakening the tides of power shifting, and the Jackson Twins find themselves running out of time as the deities around them move them like pieces on a chessboard.Shelves: Percy Jackson

Enter!verse Anthology by Viari
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Legends - All Media Types, Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic (Video Games)
01 Feb 2023
Summary
Once upon a time, I started writing a time travel AU in which Anakin Skywalker ended up in 51 ABY, met his grandchildren, and dealt with his own dark legacy while helping the remaining Jedi in their struggle against a new Sith Empire. It was supposed to just be that one story - and then my brain decided to do a thing, and oops, look at that, I have a whole 'verse now.
These stories do not need to be read in any particular order, and I like to think you can start with any of them. They're currently listed in the order they were posted.
There's a bit of everything here: drama, action, angst (okay, more than a bit of angst), romance (often dark, but not always), horror (mostly of the psychological variety), introspection, and even some humor. There are also a fair number of original characters, but that's sort of necessary when you're operating 50-60 years after ANH. Hopefully you'll find something to enjoy, and maybe even come back for more. ;)
(If you're interested in the various AUs of this 'verse, including the one where Anakin didn't turn to the dark side, see my sister series, Enter!verse AUs)
Anthology containing:
Enter the Foreign
Just before his fateful turn to the dark side, Anakin Skywalker is transported 70 years into the future, where he meets the ragtag remainder of the Jedi Order and becomes engulfed in their struggle against the new Sith Empire. Leading this fractured band of Jedi is Anakin’s grandson, Ben Skywalker, a young Knight still haunted by the deaths of his loved ones and by the betrayal of his former master, Darth Caedus.
But the One Sith have not been idle in the years following the defeat of Caedus. Previously hidden in the shadows, they now stand on the brink of galactic domination, led there by the powerful and enigmatic Darth Krayt. As the two sides hurtle toward a final confrontation, will Anakin be able to separate himself from the shadow of Darth Vader? Or is it simply a matter of destiny – perhaps even the will of the Force – that the Chosen One and his scions should fall…?
Timeframe: 51 ABY
