Summary
> For The dead speak softest in spring.
Months after the wars, Nico di Angelo finds himself unraveling again — haunted not just by ghosts, but by what it means to be alive. A mysterious temple in the forest begins to call to him in dreams. When a quest pulls him, Will, and Percy into the ruins of a forgotten grove where even the sunlight seems reluctant to fall, Nico must face what he's always buried.
In the stillness between death and rebirth, something ancient stirs. And it remembers Nico’s name.
A slow-burn Solangelo journey through grief, myth, love, and the ghosts we carry — featuring haunting ruins, an original Greek antagonist, memory-blooms, a third-wheeling Percy Jackson, ghost monologues, and a forest that might just eat you.
It’s spring. And something’s coming back.

Summary
Rhune needed his help; it was clear that he’d been in significant distress, and the fact that he’d fallen over unconscious with no obvious outside influence was extremely troubling.
And if Gale acted quickly, there would be no danger of anyone being murdered tonight.
Mind made up, Gale stuck his head out of the flap of his tent while he pulled on his shoes, and called out, “Whoever’s awake and on watch right now, please, hurry, I need some help.”

Summary
Makoto's mental health had never been good, but it was hard for her to believe how far gone she was just a few short days ago. She had truly reached her breaking point, and she shuddered to think what would've happened to her without the Thieves. Awakening to her Persona had cleared her head, but being clear just made it easier to see the monsters at the bottom of the lake. Monsters ready for her to fall off her new lifeboat, to tear her asunder when there's no one to help her. Still, she had to be strong. Her only path now was forward, side by side with her friends, praying as she walked that the monsters don't surface once more.
A rewrite of Makoto's confidant with a focus on her mental health, the traumatic reality of being a Phantom Thief, and why maybe it's all she ever needed.
