DAMMIT BUT I EVEN LOOKED UP THIS PUB. Argh.

Niall - his name means ‘champion,’ because Maura believes that names say a lot about a person and she wants him to win a place outside of Mullingar one day - is born wailing.

this is beautiful. because names do mean a lot in ireland. everyone's always named after someone else or named for something special and names make or break a person and irish names are so underloved, imo, and i love you for including this. thank you.

I LOVE names. I will always look up all the names in everything. ♥

And for the next sixteen years, Harry works at the little bakery in Holmes Chapel, selling swiss rolls and scones and chatting up nearly everyone from the parish. He takes up with a steady line of pretty girls and a covert assortment of prettier boys, and there’s a resurgence in the popularity of “comfort foods” and “slow-cooking” in most of the Western world.

HARRY HARRY HARRY HARRY HARRY HARRY.

can we just scrap weedsverse canon and combine it with this?

no, let's not do that. because god!harry is just unfair to pit jude law again.

[aimmyarrowshigh]

...We could do a crossover of our AU crossovers, though.

...Because. It's the internet. Why the hell not??

[soxdamnxcute]

jude law is my hermes though

and gemma's hera

so harry would be her half brother

and hermes is hera's husband's son from another woman

and that makes my brain hurt.

Olympian genetics always make my head hurt.

I just like that Anne is Harry's mum, but Zayn's grandmother, and Harry is Louis' great-uncle and Liam's... cousin? Nephew?

I LOVE YOU AND THIS AND EVERYTHING AND I'M GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR; GORGEOUS.

Hey! This is wynonas from tumblr, btw :) And now...

Oh my god. So, I haven't read any of the PJO books, although I'm familiar with Greek mythology, and this is just... stunning. So, so, so stunning. Such an exciting, interesting premise, and so masterfully constructed right here - each of the shots of the different mums and the conceptions of the boys were so unique, all captivating in their own ways, and I especially love how vivid you write settings. The Zeus section is amazing in that respect, and all the East/West thoughts, ugh, I love it.

Harry's section is also a fav, though (lol go figure) but guh THE INFATUATION THING IS GENIUS and I looooove the way you show the passage of history through it, and the switching ages thing is so cool, and then of course the last line is perfect and basically I AM SO EXCITED BY ALL OF THIS, HOW IS THIS ACTUALLY A REAL THING \o/

[aimmyarrowshigh]

Ahhhh, thank you! ^_^ I do SO love writing AUs and thinking probably too much about them, haha.

The Zayn-slash-Zeus section is my favorite, just because I love the idea of these cultures being such physically different things and if Olympus rules the West, then who is ruling the East and yes. I just really loved writing that one.

AND HARRY DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AS ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE GOD OF INFATUATION AND MISCHIEF, OKAY, THAT'S JUST REAL-LIFE. The way you find your favorite 1D member is "it's the one who's your second-favorite after Harry, because Harry doesn't even count."

[cassiehayes]

Ahaha, well that is not at all a bad thing when it leads to stuff like this! ^^

Mhmmmm, that really is so interesting, and I liked that Zeus himself was philosophizing about all of it, and the especially the "raise him Muslim" bit and how Zeus is the one with the son from East and West both.

The way you find your favorite 1D member is "it's the one who's your second-favorite after Harry, because Harry doesn't even count."

LOL AT THIS SO HARD, BECAUSE IT IS SO TRUE, that's like, exactly how I think about them, every time I'm thinking "Oh gosh, so and so is close to becoming my new favourite" it's always followed up by "....after Harry of course" because, seriously, just a separate plane of existence entirely, baha.

[aimmyarrowshigh]

Right? I was trying to explain 1D to my mom (because when I Like A Thing, it doesn't really matter what anyone else who talks to me thinks about it because THEY WILL BE INFORMED ABOUT EVERY FACET OF IT ANYWAY WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT) and I was like, "Well, my favorite's Harry and my second-favorite's Zayn, which means my favorite is Zayn because Harry is Harry." And she was like, "...Okay. They're too young for you. You're not moving to England."
