Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD is an anxiety disorder that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. The definition doesn't quite do it justice don't you think? No one is ever fine, especially not in this case. Deny it or don't there is no difference. The only difference is the lie she kept telling herself. She seems fine. She acts fine around everyone else. Artemis has been through enough trauma to last a lifetime and it has, or at least it's followed her this far. The pain, the nightmares, all of it still seems like it was just yesterday even if it has been months since Sportsmaster disappeared. She was the one who did it too but that wasn't enough to keep everything away. It was supposed to disappear or at least dissipate after a while but it hasn't gotten any better. The team doesn't know what she's hiding deep down even after everything, even she hasn't fully come to terms with the long term effects. The term sounds pretty fancy in a way almost like some expensive champagne that stays in your fridge even though it's supposed to be for "an event". In a way it's exactly like that, it never goes away at least it hasn't yet. It's not even good for anything. Sometimes it's forgotten and seems so far away but it only takes opening the fridge to see it again. Artemis is stuck in this cycle she hasn't gotten better and in order for the PTSD to dissipate little by little she has to start by coming to terms with it.

GOLDWING || PJO Isekai AU
━─━─━─━「₪」━─━─━─━ "Goldwing angel, Go home Don't tell anyone what you are You're scared and they're starved And there you are to tear apart Tear apart, tear apart, tear apart You better keep your head down-down Da-da-down-down Da-da-down-down. Better keep your head down-down Da-da-down-down Da-da-down-down They're gonna tell you what you wanna hear Then they're gonna disappear. Gonna claim you like a souvenir Just to sell you in a year You better keep your head down-down Da-da-down-down Da-da-down-down." The gods have chosen. Fourteen of the most influential deities electing champions to carry out their bidding, and potentially save the world. Only problem; not one champion appears to have a single clue what to do. Of course, you have Cassidy, a firey Alabama girl with legs for days and status problems. Then we have Nari, a troubled young lady who has spent the last month in an Illinois-rooted psychiatric facility. Or perhaps the saving grace of the group would be Cali, a young Chicano known for his charming looks and lack of manners. Perhaps the hope for humanity lies in the hands of Myrtle, a God-fearing Christian with a loud anxiety response and deep worry stemming from every sentence spoken to her. Only time will tell which heroes rise to the occasion, and which ones plummet, bringing everyone else down with them. Oh, and did I mention the time travel?

The Fluffy Adventures of Yelena and Bucky
That night he pressed a paper into her hands and told her to run, to burn the paper, to never stray from its words, had an impression on her life that she'd never really talked about. But it affected everything. "You're gonna run like hell when you get to out onto the street. Don't stop. Don't ever stop," Was it still worth it, curled up on the cement floor? Yes. Knowing that what you're doing is good doesn't ensure that it'll ever be easy. Bucky learned that many years ago in his childhood, and over again in World War Two. So why was the world still trying to teach him that, after everything he'd been through? Pain, pain, pain, for every choice you try to make yourself. Being yourself causes the pain... that was what Hydra taught him. What Hydra wanted him to believe. And he wished he didn't have to believe it, but it was true. Of course she didn't want to lie to him. He was like hope in the darkness, even when he was part of the darkness. Every time he went through shit, he inspired her. That night when he'd pressed a paper into her hands and told her to run, to burn the paper, to never stray from its words, had had an impression on her life that she'd never really talked about. But it affected everything. Cover by @planetaryfire (thanks so much!)Complete

Threads of Ash and Silver
CURRENTLY REWRITING **This is a very long story, it is very dark, and it contains mature scenes, read at your own risk** Raised in the Red Room, Ravenna learned pain before she ever learned love. Hydra made her a weapon, a survivor - but never a person who believed she could be wanted. Now a member of the Avengers, she hides her scars behind black suits, sharp edges, and silence. But her power, newly awakened, refuses to stay quiet. When a mission goes wrong, Ravenna is bound closer than she ever expected - not just to James "Bucky" Barnes, whose brokenness mirrors her own, but to Loki, the god who calls her his Little Goddess. Their bond is messy, consuming, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. As Hydra resurfaces with new threats and old ghosts, Ravenna is forced to confront her past - and the family who will burn the world to keep her alive. But the more her power grows, the clearer it becomes: her scars aren't just reminders of where she's been. They are the very threads weaving her future.Complete
