A year has passed since Tom met resistance fighters against the military dictatorship in Greece, was interrogated and threatened by the secret police, made new friends and made a promise to Sophia. 

Hardly does he land in Athens again in July 1970 when he and his friends receive their first courier assignment for the resistance group, which takes him to Crete and entails many unpleasant surprises. Their assignments become more and more dangerous, which welds the group ever tighter around Tom, Nikos, and Sophia. 

In northern Greece, Tom and Nikos are ambushed by Albanian agents, and on the concentration camp island of Leros they are again targeted by the secret police. Tom soon realizes that things are often not what they seem. At the same time he realizes that he is in a dilemma: he loves Sophia, but he also loves Nikos. Will he have to make a decision? 

In the second book of "The Right People" series, the action picks up pace. Adventure and danger lurk around every corner, but Tom and his friends take on the challenge, now joined by Dave the Englishman, four Australian students and two pairs of German siblings.

I'd like to take John Piccone for the time and energy he spent editing this book.All Rights Reserved

The Right People Volume 7 - Rain Dance in Upper Volta by Eckhard_Schmerbeck

Because of their connections to Libya, Tom and his friends from the Greek socialist resistance group become more and more deeply involved in the political developments of 1972, especially in Germany and Arab countries. First Phil and the German TV journalists Hans and Reiner witness a US bomb attack on a supposed chemical weapons factory in Libya, and later Phil falls head over heels in love with Amira, a cousin of Colonel Gaddafi, the Libyan head of state, in Tripolis. Shortly before the Olympic Games in Munich, Phil and a few others from the Greek group travel to Palestinian training camps where they find evidence of planned attacks on the Olympics. A US intelligence officer is appalled by the German security authorities' botched preparations for this world event and finds the security concept "weaker than at a rain dance in Upper Volta". Tom has just started his service in the German army when Palestinian terrorists attack the Israeli team at the Olympic Games in Munich. Together with Phil in a crisis team at the Bonn Ministry of Defense, he witnesses the dramatic events in Munich and their embarrassing consequences for the German government, culminating in the "hijacking" of the Lufthansa plane "Kiel". I would like to point out once again that this book is fiction, even though it is based on intensive research into the historical context. All the characters, including the officials who appear in the book, as well as the plot itself are fictitious. New chapters are published every Friday. Enjoy browsing.

Disclaimer: some parts are edited but there still are a lot of mistakes. Under editing Yes, I know some of the facts are wrong in the book, so please don't comment on them.

He runs and runs for years. Running into the hunters from time to time. But what will happen when he stays with the Hunt? Will he find a family in the Hunt? Will he heal or will he stay broken?

And what is everyone going to do, when he's gone once again? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Starts off slowly, gets better in the next hand full of chapter

Olympus Reborn Book 1: Poseidon's War (A PJO/HOO AU) by 146852586a

Perseus (Percy) Jackson, with the seven, has came out of the giant war victorious. Percy decides to stay at camp to help rebuild and strength their defenses. Once, Percy and the camp have finished the rebuild Percy goes on a quest for Athena, to gain her approval and permission to marry Annabeth. He is greeted with a surprise, upon his return however. Meanwhile on Olympus, the tensions are boiling yet again. Not because of a threat to all of Olympus, but the threat of civil war. Poseidon and Hades both thinking it is their right to rule, Apollo wishing to escape punishment, Athena thinking her father's actions will be Olympus's downfall. Others join them, who agree that Zeus is a terrible king. Still, there are those who remain loyal to the king, but there are those who choose to remain neutral in fear for they do not wish to be punished if they choose wrong. On top of the threats of war the relations between demigods and their parents both sour and get better, depending on the god/goddesses. Will the gods neglect/care for their children become the deciding factor of the war that's brewing. Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or general setting/theme/world of this fanfic. That belongs to Rick Riordan as this is diverged from PJO/HOO. Author's Note: This may end up being a two or more book series I haven't decided yet storynote: AN: = author's note () = used when inside a paragraph for the above thing

Percy Jackson, Son of Chaos - Edit by Cetirus

Percy is betrayed when Nick Waters, a son of Poseidon and Percy's half brother, comes to camp. Loyalties are tested and enemies are made. Sally abandons him to start a mortal family. Even with the friends he still has, Percy decides to leave the place he is unwanted. He is summoned on Olympus and accused of things he didn't do. Some believe him but most are just eager to get rid of him. But when will they learn, you can't get rid of Percy that easily. He is met with some gods and the creator himself, who gives him a chance to go back in time and relive his life but not as a son of Poseidon but a son of Chaos. What will Percy find in the new timeline? Friendship? Love? But one thing's for sure, he will definitely have his revenge on those who wronged and shunned him. I own nothing except the OCS and plot. PJO belongs to Rick Riordan. Full credit for this story goes to MidnightIridescence. I found the story, and decided to make a few edits to improve overall quality. Full credit to them! :)

Almost thirty years have passed since the second Titan War. At least, that's what everyone keeps telling Bianca. She doesn't quite understand what the second Titan War is- or was, for that matter- or why it's important. Bianca doesn't understand a lot of things. For example: why she is just now realizing that her parents were demigods- children of the Greek gods themselves- and she's what people at camp call a "legacy." She also doesn't understand why her Aunt Piper practically tossed her into a car with two men she's never met and shipped her off to this aforementioned camp. A magic camp for descendants of the gods. Camp Half Blood. Bianca doesn't understand why everyone at Camp Half Blood seems to whisper under their breaths whenever she passes by. She doesn't understand the class system or the sub divisions of legacies, or how magic works, or how to fight monsters. She doesn't understand why all of these people who were painted as best friends have grown so distant. But the biggest thing she doesn't understand? Definitely her existence. Kids who aren't biologically related to their parents shouldn't be getting claimed by both their godly grandparents. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Greek Tragedies series: 1/4 The world and a lot of the adult characters belong to Rick Riordan, don't sue me please~

Green Neon by EckhardSchmerbeck

"Green Neon" is the first of 20 volumes in my book series "The Right People". Tom, a 15-year-old German, is spending the summer holidays at Christina's house in Athens in 1969 during a military dictatorship. His hostess is a lawyer who represents opponents of the regime, and shortly after arriving, he meets men at Christina's flat who had been interned in a concentration camp on the island of Gyaros. This meeting makes him suspicious in the eyes of the police, with whom he engages in a game of cat and mouse without even knowing it. He meets Sophia, with whom he falls in love with the help of a full moon over the Acropolis, her brother Georgios, who is used by his father as his sister's chaperone with rather limited success, and Nikos, who soon becomes Tom's best friend. After just a few days, Tom realizes that this holiday will be very different from what he imagined at home in Hohenberg, Westphalia. How could he have known that he would experience his first great love and be hunted down by the dictatorship's henchmen, interrogated and threatened with arrest? How could he have foreseen that a bronze statue thousands of years old would take his breath away? And what would he have said to someone who had prophesied that he would soon be able to recognize plainclothes police officers by green neon signs on their foreheads? I invite you to accompany Tom and his friends on this exciting journey. All characters, except those from contemporary history, are fictitious. However, the plot itself is based on diaries and letters; historical facts have been carefully researched. New chapters are uploaded every Friday. Please don't forget to like, comment and follow my page. I would like to thank John Piccone for his hard work and the countless hours he spent editing the English translation. Have fun.

Wicked Games by Viomaniac

[TO BE EDITED] Book #1 (Princess of Greece) "I have offer for you." I start. "Hmm interesting." He walks towards me and takes cigar pack from nightstand, pulls out one with lips and lights it. "What kind of offer darling?" "Sex offer." He starts coughing. "Excuse me."Covering mouth he takes cigar with middle and index fingers. Pure shock is written on his face. "Let's have sex, just sex. Both of us will be satisfied." I take cigarette from his hand and then put in my mouth. "What do you say? No sleeping together, no commitment, just pure orgasm." "You want to have sex with me." He assures himself. "Don't act like you don't want to rip my clothes off right now, you know you want me." It's my turn to be fucking smug asshole. "Oh yeah?" His eyes slightly squint. "I'm your favorite enemy." My smirk, cockiness, attitude, it's not that bad being in Kent's shoes. I'm very entertained. "Hell yes you are." He murmurs but I hear. "Well then, we'll just have meaningless pleasurable sex." I explain once again. "But still keep pretending that you don't like me." "I do not like you." "Then how will it work?" "I don't need to like you to scream your name, do I?" _____________________________________________
