Literally came for Luke's backstory and got more than i could've wanted, especially "Son of Magic" by Haley Riordan. It is so well written and dark and I so badly want to read more stories and books that are written in that style, with main characters like Doctor Claymore and Alabaster.
Graphic: Mental illness, Fire/Fire injury, Death, Gaslighting, and Murder
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail, Abandonment, Blood, Child death, Grief, Gore, and Violence

While all three stories housed within the Demigod Diaries by Rick Riordan were well worth a read, the one that really tugged at my heartstrings was The Diary of Luke Castellan. Hearing Luke's mindset and thoughts about the gods, other demigods, and the mythic world as a whole while knowing where that thinking left him at the end of the series was heartbreaking.
Moderate: Death
Minor: Alcohol, Violence, Blood, Fire/Fire injury, and Injury/Injury detail
