[PJO] What if Sally found a better husband first?

If Gabe was never in the picture and Sally found a good husband would Montauk still be a significant part of Sally's and Percy's lives? I know in book 4 after Paul and Sally got together the family was still seen vacationing in Montauk, but at that point Montauk was already cemented as a place of sentimental and emotional significance.

In the proposed hypothetical it's a clean slate, the only significance that Montauk would have is being the place where Sally met Poseidon. Without Gabe to inflict his brand of misery and suffering, Montauk wouldn't serve as the same bastion of comfort and safety it was in canon. From the start Percy would have had a caring and attentive father and Sally would have a loving and supportive husband.

I could see it still being a birthday destination for the family so Poseidon can still discreetly check in on Percy but I feel like it would be closer to visitation between divorced parents than anything else.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: Gabe was chosen because of his mortal smell and how it was able to mask Percy's scent. It was never really specified why or how he has such a strong scent i'm going to assume that it's completely unrelated to him being a shit human being. So in this case we can assume that this character has the same level of smell but is the complete opposite of a human shit stain.

I'm considering a Bleach/ PJO crossover one shot/short story but I want to clarify the hierarchy.

Where would the Shinigami place relative to the Greek supernatural hierarchy? I want to clarify that I'll be discounting children of the Big Three as they seem to be exceptions to the rule rather than the standard.

My thoughts are this; the average Shinigami are on the level of the average nameless Demigod.

Senior officers (3rd - 10th seats) would be equal to the camp counselors/ centurions

Lieutenant and low tier Captains(lookin at you Rõjūrō and Kensei) would likely be on par with minor gods. To be fair, both seem to vary wildly in strength

Top tier captains like Aizen or Mr "Reduce-All-Creation-to-Ash" Yamamoto are the very Least low level Olympian.

What are your thoughts? I'd appreciate listening to any insights or thoughts to the contrary.

I'm trying to write a Bleach/Worm crossover and I need help putting things in perspective

I know there probably isn't a lot of overlap between the two fandoms but this is the best place I could think of to ask my questions.

I had this idea for Bleach/ Worm crossover that wouldn't leave me alone. However I haven't gotten around to actually reading Worm yet so I don't know much about Endbringers aside from the initial three and what's commonly depicted in fanfiction. I wanted to know where endbringers would place on a threat rating in relation to Hollows from Bleach. I'm using Hollows as reference because in my opinion their faction is probably the most consistent in terms of power scaling and it'd be easier to put things in perspective.

So the Hollow's hierarchy from weakest to strongest looks something like this.

Hollow

Gillian

Adjuchas

Vasto Lorde

Arrancar

Espada

My best guess is that in terms of purely physical stats endbringers land somewhere between Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde. But when it comes down to their more esoteric abilities from what I can tell it's a matter of scale vs potency. For example, while a sledgehammer can break bone and rupture organs a bullet can punch clean through a body. In all likelihood the endbringers have the edge in terms of AOE with leviathan taking the cake, but in terms of potency I don't think they would place further than a Vasto Lorde. But like I said I don't know much about canon endbringers so if anyone has information to the contrary I'd appreciate a chance to discuss it.

I've got a character who wants to develop things like cybernetics, prosthetics and other miscellaneous things that fall under the umbrella of mechanical engineering. He's currently looking for a place to setup shop so to speak, and I'm assuming one can't just rent out space in a random office building and call it a day. So what would a proper lab location and setup look like?

I've only read a handful of HP fanfics but of the ones I've read, I particularly like the ones that still follow the overarching plot of the series but still branches off in distinct and notable ways, or how some simply allow the main story to happen in the background while still occasionally interacting with the main plot. I think this allows the author more creative freedom.

I personally prefer stories that focus more on action and story progression over interpersonal relationships. That's not to say I don't want any romance or character drama, just that I prefer it not be the main focus of the story.

I also prefer that the main character remains reasonably strong/competent while not encroaching on Mary/Gary Sue territory. Aside from those key things I'm also partial to male MCs (SI and OCs welcome).

While I'm not opposed to crossover elements, like taking inspiration from other magic systems or introducing minor characters from other series I'm not looking for full blown crossovers at the moment. Also no gamer systems please, nothing against them but I just don't think it fits well with the setting.

I also read on SB and QQ in addition to FFN and AO3 in case anyone has recommendations from those sites as well.
