The Heyoka Series

* Why am I using "pathos" instead of the more familiar fanfic jargon "angst"?  Because "angst" means "anxiety, or a feeling of guilt and remorse," with the connotation that it exceeds what the situation deserves.  "Pathos" means simply "suffering, loss, grief, or passion."  In professional writing, being told your story is "angsty" isn't necessarily a compliment. :-)
