Predictions. How long will callowmoore be on this ride...

[everythingwasnormalhere]

writing kyle in the rare moment when my brain is set up to write cartman is a weird ass feeling tbh

[love-is-a-pearl]

do you have any songs you relate to satohika :-)? personally i love to imagine them with Quiet by Lights <3

Ohh, that's a good one! The lyrics do fit them perfectly QAQ

I can't hear this one without thinking of them

I admit is probs just me projecting, but it matches the bittersweet vibes of their "canon" songs and I love just spamming it on loop when I need inspo for anything related to them~

[sophi-aah]

do you have any current favorite fics??

Oh man -- Im afraid this will turn into a fav author post pretty quick lol, bc all my fav fics come from relatively the same people

And my thoughts are not really coherent lol, theres a reason I draw rather than write, I might just keysmash my way through this one!

btw, the order of this is not the ranking, I just can't choose the ultimate one to save my life

ok actually lets get to it:

August by @cordeliaandthecocoapuffs [CordeliaRose on Ao3] and August (will's version) is cannon in my heart and many others', I have reread this fic more times than I can count, I have all of the chapters downloaded on my phone, Cordelia is one truly good writer and her comedic timing is impeccable it made me laugh so much, shes got such a good grasp on the characters and their dynamics, its so silly one chapter and angsty the next, I have a crocheted sun plush that I named sol the sun plushie [fic reference] , almost all my headcannons come from this masterpiece -- I could yap forever I love this fic and Cordelia's other solangelo pics are also strongly recommended, [ESPECIALLY i'm put in awe (of something so flawed and free) archeologist Nico and trauma surgeon will!!!!!! and Sex Education Percy Jason and Nico!!] I just love everything lol [ur gonna hear me say that ALOT]

Will Solace and the Socialites of Olympus University by @sarcasmandships. No words. just hearts and exclamation marks. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<3333333333333333 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No but seriously Stella's writing is so fucking beautiful her use of metaphors and similes and poetic shit is absolutely phenomenal. And the angst. OH THE ANGST. and the fluff for someone apperantly new to writting fluff and silly stuff [according to her authors notes] is just mwuah GOLDEN!!!!!!! The character arcs and the topic of class difference also deserves a mention bc OMG STELLA HOW. and sarcasmandship's other fics like the Silence Between Heartbeats and her other oneshots like Hauntings and Wantings[living for the silliy victrian ghosts-], All the Bruises I Don't Mind Bearing[fluff at it's diabetes-inducing fluffiest], and If You Didn’t Want Me to Ruin Myself Over You, Maybe Don’t Write Me Into Every Lyric and Leave Out the Ending [enemies to lovers sexual tension ahhhhh my shit MY SHIT] also deserve a mention bc they are all just SO BEAUTIFUL.

A lot of my fav fics comes from @wordsofasarcast, their fic Ice Blue, Trippin' Over You was the first solangelo and pjo fic I've ever read, I was only on the Titans Curse at that point but Sarc STILL managed to get to my heart despite me having no idea who half of the characters are. Their fic Dolce Dissonance is one of my absolute favorites, I'm a sucker for popster/famous AUs and enimies to lovers and emotional rollercoasters and this fic has ALL THREE. Attached the whole way, broke my heart, put it back together, broke it again, and so on! [CHAPTER 44 MY LOVE] Their oneshot I Will Try to Stay On My Side of the Couch is also an absaloute banger it pulled my heart out stomped on it and placed it back in at the end [oh the unrequited love was so beutiful]. paper hearts (we're burning matches) is one of the fluffy ones and Please Hold is so fucking funny and it's so wonderful ALL OF THEIR FICS.

Wings by @the-sunniest-angels chopped me up, put me in a blender, chucked me across the room, stabbed me multiple times more, beat me to even more of a pulp, flushed me down the toilet, stomped on me and chopped me up some more in the BEST. FUCKING. WAY. POSSIBLE. THE PLOT IS DELICIOUS. THE ANGST IS TOURTUROUS. THE EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER BEING LIKE ONE OF THOSE DEADLY ONES WITH LIKE G-10 FORCE. Sunny also owes me plenty of tissues and the fic playlist hits HARD. Sunny's other fics are all fantasy AUs and THEY ALSO HIT HARD. Sunny's worldbuilding skills are fucking godly and you should also def check out their fics!!

Hold On to the Memories (They Will Hold Onto You) by @grumpylia explores the background characters and makes them and camp half blood seem so much more interesting! with the main series you dont really get to see how the background characters are doing but with this it really gets the stress of the war and the chaos and friendship of chb! Each chapter is a RIDE and the character developments are so well crafted! This was the height of my Tratie phase and I still treasure it today. It is on hatius tho but the 9 chapters we have are ABSALOUTLY AMAZING.

Binary Stars by @onetiny-inkdropuniverse. Can you tell I really like emotional rollercoasters??? Inkdrop is such an amazing writer and her chapters are also really poetic. It starts as a 3 days in infirmary fic and a few mental breakdowns later we're here almost re-writting ToA. The cute moments are to be cherished and the angst is, as usual, to be expected. [Chapter 98 helped me ace my piano recital just by how sad it made me so I projected it all onto Chopin lol.] Also Inkdrop's MAKEOUT SCENES. SHE IS BLESSED BY SOME GOD OF KISSING I SWEAR I COULD READ HER MAKEOUT SCENES ALL DAY.

another one of my fav authors are @mediumgayitalian [queencontrarian (negativefouriq) on Ao3]. Their writing style is so unique and their fics are all also my absolute favs!

I'm SURE there are more but for now ive ran out of steam, its the middle of the night so ima sleep now. hope u enjoyed my yapping!

salad!!

first and foremost: i love TDTWB so much, i literally cannot emphasise that enough.

i wanted to know your thought process on the parallels of april and leo’s relationships in both world 6 and dimension z!

what i gather is that in world 6, leo has a dorky crush on april, and in dimension z they’re more like siblings. what made you tweak this little aspect? ramble on!!

Ahhh thank you!! I am once again honored and touched and every shade in between I can't thank you enough for reading and engaging with the fic!

oooooOooOooOoo STAND BACK IM ABOUT TO RAMBLE let me get my ramble boots on these are high waters.

OKAY SO spoilers below if ya aren't caught up!

So World 6 as we now know is the Mutant Mayhem universe! And I really, really loved April and Leo in Mutant Mayhem. I think Leo's crush is so charming and wholesome maybe I'm lame but I got a soft spot for that time period in life where crushes felt all consuming and were just so embarrassing and made you act like a fool.

I know in Mutant Mayhem/TOTTMNT universe we don't really know what direction they're taking Leo and April in. I mean for the most part it seems one-sided but I'm a sucker for unrequited love or some pathetic man pining, especially when the other person in the equation might be totally oblivious. But either way I'm excited to find out! I think they're cute fam. I do. And in my fic specifically, MM Leo has known April for about a year at the point where we meet him. And he's clearly still got this crush, but I also like to imagine that he's deepened that friendship and at this point they really know each other well and that infatuation is maybe something a little deeper it's got some roots now!

But the Z boys are different! The Z boys have known April practically their whole lives. We're talking playground friends, we're talking pre-school friends. So April grew up alongside them and because of that, she really does feel like a sister to them. This isn't to say that really good childhood friends can't also develop romantic feelings for each other! That happens a lot! But for Leo and April specifically I wanted to explore a really deep platonic relationship. Catch me throwing around the term platonic soulmates. Like they are each other's person, you know? The kind of relationship that would quite frankly intimidate the hell out of romantic partners because they're like okay what the hell how do I compete with this level of attachment?

Another reason I decided to go this route is because I knew I wanted to have the Rasey relationship and I didn't want to be doubling up on romantic mayhem you know what I mean? That wasn't quite the story I wanted to tell. And I chose Rasey because honestly I feel like Leo and April would be so freaking solid as a couple like they'd be In Step with each other, like they are now, and that is a lot of fun to write! I love stable loving relationships in fic that shit is undervalued! But it wasn't the dynamic I was in the mood for. And Rasey, at least my Rasey, is messy. They're these two hot-headed assholes that butt heads most of the time, they're always arguing and bickering, but they also have a lot of passion and love for one another. I like that, honestly, they're probably not right for each other but god damn do they choose each other.

So really it just came down to the relationship I wanted to focus on. I like having a variety of different kinds of relationships to write <3 So all this to say that I think MM Leopril is really cute and charming and I'm a fan, but Z Leo and April have a really deep unshakable bond that's kind of that once-in-a-lifetime relationship. And it isn't romantic, but it's love, and it's powerful <3

not a request, just so much appreciation for this one, LIKE i love this oneshot so much, im such a sucker for unrequited loves and finding happiness in anothe place still

i think my favorite moment is when SMC himself paused when PV asked Y/N Cookie if they were happy but Y/N themselves had no hesitation 🥺

THANK YOU GAHHH this one-shot isn't talked about enough because the reason I made it to be that way is because deep down I thought that Shadow Milk didn't think he'd be able to beat PV. I feel that he compares his actions to everything PV does and is envious of him. But for them to choose each other and the y/n be so sure of it was just one of my favorite parts to write thank you for your continued support <3

Hi Mafu!! Ok, so im thinking of reader having a not-so-secret crush on Kai (Tournament Of Elements) and when he starts trying to impress Skylor (?), reader gets jealous and inevitably confesses to him? im a sucker for unrequited love BUT, i hate sad endings 😔

I hear you my guy, let's do this. I got a perfect idea for the reader and plot, but I wasn't happy with my first draft so I wrote the whole thing AGAIN. So sorry it took this long! (Also to other readers, currently 3 more somewhat different oneshots are in progress!)

Though there was a little problem with the ending. I didn't want to make it sad, but unrequited love is sad as hell. So I just... did something? Yeah, it might not be the best. I STILL STAND BY MY PERFECT IDEA STATEMENT THOUGH!

One more thing: One thing I don't like about oneshots is that I don't have time to make character backstories full and character development is none existent. RAH!

Kai x male reader oneshot!

Ya'll know it, season 4, baby!

Lightning in a Bottle

(y/n) was finally in his element, no, not literally. Well, Jay did always call him the Master of Attention-seeking, but (y/n) didn't need to 'seek' anything now.

Lloyd, the leader of the group, was wary. Jay and Cole, well, they were somewhat exited. And Kai? The usual, for now.

The 'after party' was supposed to be an informal event to those who had survived the first few rounds of the games. But it could hardly be called that, when Chen was the one hosting it. Sensei Garmadon hadn't even bothered to show up.

There was a table filled with a total feast, much to Cole's delight. Basically everyone who was still in the tournament was there, along with kabuki and other servants. Though Lloyd had insisted against it, the ninja team had split up to enjoy themselves after the most stressful 48 hours of their lives.

So basically, the crowd was huge. And though many were wary of the ninja, (y/n) won over peoples hearts left and right, as he usually did.

The eyes on him brought out a proud smile. (y/n) had all the attention he could need. And didn't have to create it himself, like he usually did, with his powers. He was a ninja and part of the tournament, so of course he had an element. The Element of Illusion.

A good distraction, even better against those who hadn't anticipated it. And (y/n) had basically mastered it. His illusions, as long as he was clear headed himself, were perfect.

Even when not in battle, (y/n) would still use it. When he felt bad, felt down, or felt... they way he did before he met the team, he'd do it. He'd create illusions, crowds of people, all there to give him affirmation.

Okay, not all his uses for his powers were depressing like that. In fact, his powers would sometimes do their own thing. When (y/n) was happy, 'flowers' would bloom in places they really weren't supposed to. And when he was mad, those flowers would wilt and droop downward pathetically.

But as long as he was at the center of at least someones eyes, he was happy as if he had just caught lightning in a bottle. That was just the kind of person he was. (y/n) had to admit, Jay's usual nickname for him wasn't that far off.

(y/n) didn't ponder how he grew up like this, probably had something to do with neglect in his childhood. But well, his favorite past times were talking, listening, gossiping and partying.

On the sofa (y/n) comfortably lounged on, the Illusion ninja was chatting with one of the other competitor, the Master of Light, Mr. Pale, or Jason Pale, 32, twice divorced and currently in a fight defending all his property in a legal battle with his second ex-wife, as (y/n) now knew.

"Come on, tell me more about your powers," Mr. Pale really though he was the one draining information out of (y/n), but he couldn't be more wrong. "How do they work?"

"Just like yours do, Jason." (y/n) smiled sweetly, acting as if he didn't realize what Mr. Pale was trying to get out of him. (y/n) took a sip from his glass filled with bourbon and ice. It was only his first, so he wasn't even a little out of it yet. But he had told Lloyd it was ice tea, otherwise the green ninja would have 100% taken the entire thing away from him already.

Around (y/n) were both neon lights and lanterns, highlighting him as the star attraction of the room. Those had appeared on their own, but out of consideration, (y/n) had created Chen a little crown illusion just to make sure he wouldn't get jealous.

(y/n) took another sip of his drink, before sighing contently. But then his eyes traveled to something on the side of the hall, and suddenly (y/n) was neither listening to what Mr. Pale was saying or even smiling.

By the standing table with the feast, Skylor, red-headed Master of Amber was filling her plate with food while Kai Smith, red ninja, fire ninja, king of all things stubborn stood next to her with that idiotic grin on his face.

(y/n) had visualized it multiple times. If he had counted, which he hadn't done, that would probably be his most common illusion. That stupid smile, looking at him, for even once.

No, no, (y/n) couldn't be mad. He was chatting with Mr. Pale, Kai was chatting with Skylor. Nothing wrong with that. ...But they were so obviously flirting that it stung.

(y/n) wouldn't admit it. It was hardly a secret either. (y/n) couldn't keep other people's secrets nor his own, everyone except for the Master of Fire himself knew (y/n) liked him! And with a few more years of dropping obvious hints, Kai was sure to catch on sooner or later.

Skylor noticed something on Kai's shoulder and patted it off. Kai was blushing.

(y/n) had done that as well, so why was Kai reacting like that? What made him any different from her.

Kai tried to reach out to Skylor when she wasn't looking and casually drape his arm over her shoulder, the same thing he used to do with (y/n) no less, but pulled back and disguised it as just scratching his neck at the last second.

(y/n) was angry, but at the same time, relieved.

Kai probably gave Skylor a backhanded compliment, because for a moment she looked just like (y/n) when Kai suddenly gave him those.

Things like... 'You're stronger than you think', 'I want you here', 'it wouldn't be the same without you'. They were no love confessions, but (y/n) couldn't help but hope they might be leading that way. 'you might not matter to everyone, but you matter to us. You matter to me'... Was it all casual?!

Kai was leaning against the feast table 'coolly', but he ended up accidentally knocking over a bowl of fortune cookies. This made his scramble awkwardly like crazy, but the scene brought a tiny laugh from Skylor's lips, and that made Kai's widen as if he had melted.

Suddenly the lanterns grew dim, and the neon signs crackled out, and whatever other illusions (y/n) had accidentally created faded from sight.

Only a spotlight stayed on Kai, and yes, I still mean it literally. Skylor was the one who pointed it out, motioning from Kai's feet all the way to the ceiling.

Kai too looked up or down, before his face changed to one of realization. He looked around before finally spotting (y/n) and pointing over to him, saying something to Skylor at the same time. Then, the red ninja waved to him.

(y/n) didn't wave back, and instead pointed up, motioning 'look up''. Kai understood and did just that. But instead of a spotlight, the illusion had changed to a storm cloud. And with a swift move from (y/n)'s hand, a lightning strike shot at Kai. Not only was it loud, but it also shook Kai out of his skin.

Of course, it wasn't real, but Kai still turned to (y/n) with a face of a drenched puppy, as if asking 'why?''

(y/n) wasn't going to answer as he stood up from the sofa. He offered Mr. Pale a few parting words while thrusting his glass into the hands of one of the kabuki, before storming out.

He didn't bother going to his room or even staying inside for that matter, instead he rushed out to get some fresh air to calm his head.

But even the air couldn't save him, when the door behind him burst open.

Kai was out of breath and he looked pissed. But compared to the anger on (y/n)'s face, he was just an annoyed chipmunk.

"Go back, Kai," (y/n) snapped, turning on his heel so fast that Kai almost ran into him. "I left because I want to be alone, is that not obvious?"

Kai threw his hands up. "I just wanna talk-"

"Oh, now you wanna talk?" (y/n) let out a sharp, humorless laugh. "Funny, because I don't remember you talking to me like that back there. No, you were too busy staring at her like she hung the damn moon."

Kai’s expression twisted, confusion flashing across his face. "Wait... is this about Skylor?"

"Ding ding ding, give the man a prize," (y/n) said mockingly, turning around and stomp away. But before he could take more than two steps, Kai grabbed him, gripping his arms tightly.

"(Y/n), will you just-" Kai tried to get a few words out, but was cut off.

"Let go of me!" (y/n) snapped again, struggling against Kai's grip. He could've easily broken free if he wanted to, the two were on the same level of strength. But (y/n) didn't have the energy. He shoved at Kai's chest, trying to break free, but Kai held firm.

(y/n) was the most dramatic person the team knew, but they never called him over the top or dramatic. An attention seeker, yes, but nothing more. (y/n) was sure he was trying to bend the line of understanding on Kai's part. He wondered when the 'you're acting like a kid!' would fall out of his mouth.

"Just listen to me-" Kai tried to sound patient. Unfortunately, Kai and 'patient' could never fit together.

"I don't wanna listen! I don't wanna hear whatever you have to say!" (y/n) spat, his voice rising with every word. "Because it will never compare to what you say to her!"

Kai's grip faltered for half a second, but (y/n) was too far gone to stop now.

"You don't see me," (y/n) repeated, his voice shaking. "You don't hear me... You are such an idiot!"

Kai's lips parted, like he wanted to argue, but (y/n) cut him off before he could.

"You're basically blind!" (y/n) slammed his fists against Kai's chest, his anger boiling over. "I hate you and your stupid face! I hate your stubborn attitude! I hate that you act cool all the time, and I hate that you're actually cool when you don't try!" His voice cracked, but he didn't stop. His fists pounded against Kai's chest with every word. "And I hate that I like it all!"

Silence.

(y/n) froze, his breath coming out in sharp, ragged pants. His hands trembled where they rested against Kai's chest, but he didn't have the strength to pull away.

Kai stared at him, stunned. His arms, which had been holding (y/n) in place, slowly dropped to his sides.

The realization hit him all at once. Like a punch to the gut.

(y/n) turned his head away, squeezing his eyes shut. His whole body felt like it was burning, a painful heat curling in his chest.

"Let me go, Kai," he muttered. This time, Kai did, staring as (y/n) stepped away from him.

Though (y/n) had gotten a bit emotional, he suddenly felt better. Like a weight had been lifted off his chest. He was still angry as hell, but looking Kai in the eyes wasn't a dreadful thought anymore.

Kai was definitely still processing things as he spoke up. "I- Just- Give me some time to think-" Kai tried to say something, but (y/n) cut him off again.

"Think? What is there to think about?" (y/n) scoffed.

"All of this! I never knew, it's surprising..." Kai scratched the back of his neck. He didn't look that surprised, more like... happy.

Of course, someone admitted they liked him! Kai and his huge ego,(y/n) thought.

"NO SHIT!!" (y/n) shouted and turned around, rolling his eyes.

"Hey- wait!" Kai tried to reach out, but (y/n) had taken off speed-walking away.

"Nope! You heard what I said, now get back to your red-head girlfriend!" (y/n) covered his ears, shouting as he picked up the pace.

"Come on, she isn't-" "LAA LAA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!"

[cursed-peanut]

like no pressure u dont need to add this or anything cuz im js speculating

it would be rlly interesting if like reader cant met sukuna for a while for whatever reason and gojo has to take care of her and ends up liking her js a bit, not alot and when she and kuna reunite he gets heartbroken n stuff

YES OMG. I am SUCH a sucker for angst and I love this idea sm. might make a silly little oneshot about this at some point 🤭🤭

!!MANGA SPOILERS BELLOW CUT!!

But in all seriousness, I feel like if this was gonna happen, it would be after Shibuya when Gojo gets unsealed. Because during that time, Sukuna has changed vessels from Yuji to Megumi and before that when Sukuna completely obliterated Shibuya, I don’t think Reader would be happy with Sukuna and maybe decides to stay with the sorcerers.

Seeing Sukuna in this new light of the monster he is with everyone else scares and angers Reader into possibly falling slightly out of love for Sukuna and possibly moving onto Gojo who is everything Sukuna is not — in Readers eyes.

I love angst :333

Edit: I just realised I read this wrong and you meant Gojo gets feelings for Reader but they’re unrequited 💀

In this case, I think it would happen early on if Gojo was to become romantically attracted to Reader because, in part 2, Gojo tells Reader he has been ordered to mentor/keep an eye on Reader because the higher ups don’t trust them. Gojo and Reader will spend a large amount of time together because of this.

However, I think he would except quickly that you are only interested in Sukuna. Which does hurt him, but it’s to be expected.

Buuuutttt, if Reader was to ever reciprocate his feelings, it would be after the Shibuya incident. Reader doesn’t like violence and Gojo could just use that to his advantage after you whiteness Sukuna in Shibuya 🤭

The Cupid scene but make it unrequited? Valgrace

Meant to finish this yesterday but couldn't get it done in time so heres it now. I'm not completly happy with it but im just glad its done.

-------

"You cannot lie to Cupid, Leo Valdez. If you let your shame and sadness rule you...well, your fate will be even sadder than mine," Favonius said, and Leo could have sworn there was pity in his eyes before the god disappeared in the wind.

Leo felt like he was back in Khione's ice palace. There was no way this wind god he just met knew his deepest, darkest, never-to-be-said-out-loud feelings. Right?.

Right?.

No, he must be talking about something else, and Leo is just being stupid and paranoid. He has to be.

Fortunately, or, more unfortunately, Leo didn't have the time to dwell on the ominous words of wind gods.

Because the ground was shaking. Why was the ground shaking?

So. A voice said.

Something zipped past his face and nicked his ear, throwing him off his feet and into Jason. Pain blossomed in his right ear, and he was pretty sure he was bleeding.

"You okay?" Jason asked, catching him in his strong arms.

Leo winced, holding a hand to his injured ear as he scrambled to his feet, trying not to think about the fact he just fell in Jason's arms. "Yeah, I'm good," he muttered.

You come to claim the sceptre. The voice said behind them, more like stating rather than asking.

Leo turned to where the voice was coming from, but no one was there.

"Cupid!" Jason called, standing at Leo's back with his sword drawn, "Where are you?".

The voice—Cupid laughed. It definitely did not sound like it belonged to a sweet baby angel's. It sounded rich and velvety but also threatening— like an ember in a fire before burning a house to the ground.

Where you least expect me. Cupid answered, As love usually is.

Leo's heart skipped a beat as something invisible slammed into Jason and hurled him across the street. He toppled down a set of concrete steps and sprawled on the floor of an excavated Roman basement.

I thought you'd know better, Jason. Cupid's voice circled overhead like a vulture. You've found true love after all. Or do you still doubt yourself?

"Jason!" Leo screamed, scrambling down the steps.

Jason took his hand and got to his feet. "I'm okay! Just sucker punched by an angel."

Oh, Did you expect me to play fair? Cupid laughed. Make no mistake; I am no angel, Jason Grace. I am Love. I am never fair. 

Oh boy, do I know that. Leo thought dryly before Jason swept him off his feet.

Literally not...not metaphorically.

Leo was swept into Jason's chest as Jason intercepted an arrow that would have gone straight into Leo's chest with his sword. The arrow exploded against the nearest wall, giving them a nice limestone shower.

Of course, Jason wasn't done giving Leo butterflies in his stomach and grabbed his hand, pulling him up the steps and behind another wall as another arrow rained down on them, shattering a column nearby into a thousand pieces.

"Is this guy Love or Death?" Jason growled, still holding Leo's hand.

Thanatos and I are often not so different. Cupid said from somewhere above, except Death is usually kinder.

Leo understood that more than he should: Death is just...well, death. The End. Just boom, you're dead! No more pain. No more problems. And if you're lucky, you get to chill in Elysium for eternity. 

While Love is...terrifying: It hurts, sometimes it doesn't last long, and some just don't get it (cough cough).

"We just want the sceptre!" Jason shouted, poking his head above the stone wall. "We're trying to stop Gaia! Are you on the gods' side or not?"

A second arrow shot at the air dangerously close to Jason's head, landing on the ground near Leo's feet and glowing white-hot. 

The arrow's temperature shot past 2,397 F (Hephaestus power.) before combusting into a geyser of flame. 

Love is on every side. Cupid said. "And no one's side. Don't ask what Love can do for you.

"Great," Jason said. "Now he's spouting greeting cards as well as trying to kill us."

"It's official. Queen was right; Too much Love kills you," Leo joked. If Love is gonna kill him in the end, then at least he wants to make Jason laugh before they both die.

Leo caught a ghost of a smile on Jason's lips before another arrow landed between them, ruining the moment.

You can't hide from Love. It will always find you no matter what. Cupid's voice said nearby.

Leo's hair sparked; the idea of burning the feathers off that smug, overgrown chicken's wings was getting more and more enticing. He knew Cupid was toying with them, enjoying their discomfort as he shot his stupid arrows.

Another arrow narrowly missed him, and something inside of him snapped.

He snatched the arrow up and threw it back where it came from. "Enough games, show yourself!"

Lucky for him, he had good aim. The arrow hit something and hung in the air for a moment before dissolving, leaving no trace: not even a spot of ichor that could help pinpoint his location.

"...Very good, Leo," Cupid said, though it was strained. There wasn't a wound, but it must have hurt. "At least you can sense my presence. Even getting a glance at true love is more than most Heroes manage. Maybe there's hope for you after all".

"So we get the sceptre?" Jason asked.

Cupid laughed. Leo was seriously getting sick of that laugh.

Oh no, there is still much you can do for me.

Jason started to speak, "But—"

An arrow shot through the air, zipping past Jason and hitting Leo square in the shoulder.

"Leo!"

There was a burst of pain in Leo's right shoulder, and suddenly, he was back at the Wilderness School again.

He had just met this cool guy, Jason. He was also a foster kid like him. Jason seemed too good for a school like this. He wouldn't tell him and Piper what he was here for, just that his case worker, Juna— Juno or something — sent him here.

Piper told him later on that she thought Jason was kinda hot.

Leo thought so too but he didn't tell her that. 

Another arrow hit him in the back this time. 

He wasn't sure when Piper and Jason started dating; it had only felt like a day had passed since they met.

He pretended it didn't hurt.

He didn't dare ruin their happiness.

So he just smiled and bared it every time they flirted with each other and told jokes every time they kissed.

"Stop it!" Leo shrieked, "None of it was real! Hera faked everything!"

Not everything, Cupid said softly, and a third arrow dug into his skin.

This time he was on their first quest in Boreas's ice palace.

Khione told them he couldn't come with them to see Boreas because of his fire.

He played it off that he wasn't hurt about it, even though it did. It wasn't the first or last time someone was scared of him.

Jason tried to defend him at first with his hand on Leo's shoulder, which only made him love him more.

And it sting more when Jason walked away holding hands with Piper, leaving him alone with Cal.

It was fine. None of it was real, not even his feelings were, and even if they were, it's not like he could act on them. He was just the funny guy, the mechanic, the seventh wheel. He wasn't supposed to fall for his male best friend, who was already dating his other best friend. He wasn't supposed to want something more than friendship with Jason.

He bit back the tears that were already threatening to fall. The grass at his feet was starting to smoke. "Show yourself!" He screamed.

It is a costly thing, Cupid said, looking on the true face of Love.

Another column shattered. Jason barely scrambled out of its way in time.

My wife Psyche learned that lesson, Cupid said, She was brought here aeons ago when this was the site of my palace. We only met in the dark. She was warned to never look upon me, and yet she could not stand the mystery. She feared I was a monster. One night, she lit a candle and beheld my face as I slept.

Jason said something, but Leo couldn't hear him over the sound of his own heart pounding in his chest. He could still somehow hear Cupid though. Of course, Love was the only thing he could hear other than his heart.

Cupid laughed from somewhere at the edge of the Amphitheater. I was too handsome, actually. A mortal can't look upon a god's true appearance without suffering grave consequences; just look at poor Semele. My mother, Aphrodite, cursed Psyche for her distrust. My poor lover was tormented, forced into exile and given impossible tasks to prove herself. She was even sent to the underworld on a quest to show her dedication. She earned her way back to me, but she suffered greatly.

Leo had no clue what he was talking about, but it sounded like he was a terrible husband.

Jason thrust his sword into the sky like he was a demigod He-man and was about to yell, 'By the power of Jupiter!' and beat up Cupid.

Unfortunately, he did not do that. 

Instead, the ground shook, and lightning blasted a crater where Cupid's voice was coming from.

There was silence, and for a moment Leo thought it was over and that they could get the sceptre and leave. And hopefully, never speak of this day again.

Leo should have known they were never that lucky.

An invisible force—Cupid, knocked Jason to the ground, sending his sword skittering across the road.

A good try, Cupid said, his voice already distant. But love isn't so easily pinned down.

A wall collapsed, Jason barely managed to roll out of the way.

That was enough for Leo.

"Hey!" Leo yelled, waving his arms around. "It's me you want! Not him!. Leave him alone!"

Poor Leo Valdez. The god's voice was patronizing and tinged with disappointment. Do you really know what You want, much less what I want? My beloved Psyche risked everything in the name of Love to win my trust back. And you — what have You risked in my name?

"I'm literally saving the world!" He yelled, clenching his fists, "I've faced way worse! You don't scare me!"

I scare you very, very much. Face me. Be honest.

Jason struggled to get up off the ground, and a piece of Leo's heart broke. This was all his fault. He knew exactly what Cupid wanted. But he didn't want to admit it just yet.

All around Leo, the ground started to heat up. Grass smoked, and stones steamed.

"Give us Diocletian's sceptre." He said, trying to put his best brave face on. "We don't have time for games."

Games? Leo's breath was knocked away as a hand slapped him sideways into a granite pedestal. Love is no game! It is no flowery softness! It is hard work — a quest that never ends. It demands everything you have — especially honesty. Only then does it rewards.

Pain blosomed from Leo's...everywhere. His head spun from the pain, and the ground started to heat up more. Stones were starting to crack, and the grass was starting to spark. All it would take was one more push, and everything would burn.

Jason was up now and had retrieved his sword, "Leo!" he called, "What does this guy want from you?".

Leo's lip trembled. Everything was going so wrong. He didn't want to admit it. He didn't want to tell Jason. "I don't know!" He yelled back, and an arrow embedded itself in the pedestal, inches away from Leo's face.

Tell him, Leo Valdez, Cupid ordered. His voice was starting to get less patient now. Tell him you're a coward, that you're afraid of yourself and your feelings. Tell him why you hide among your machines like your father. Tell him the real reason you run and why you're always alone.

Leo gritted his teeth, his entire body trembling with pain and frustration. Cupid's words cut through him like a knife, exposing the raw truth that he had been desperately trying to bury.

The grass started to burn and the stone's cracks got bigger.

"I... I can't," Leo stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. "I can't tell him."

Cupid's laughter echoed around them, mocking and cruel. "You see, Jason Grace? Your friend is afraid. Afraid of his own feelings, afraid of the truth. He hides behind his jokes and his bravado, but deep down, he knows."

Leo let loose a guttural scream, and like a volcano erupting; everything exploded at once.

Magma burst from the rocks, splitting them wide open. The grass combusted into green flames — Greek fire —he really is going to burn everything down.

"H—haaa"

Leo laughed through the tears. It was really all he could do and all he really ever did. It was funny really; he'd worked so hard to shove everything down, yet it was all destroyed in a fiery explosion in less than an hour.

A nearby tree collapsed dangerously close to Jason as the fire consumed it. "Leo! What is he talking about?" He almost couldn't hear his voice over the fire.

Will you hide forever, Leo Valdez? Cupid taunted, who unfortunately can still be heard because not even fire can shut him up. Will you let fear rule your heart, or will you finally have the courage to face the truth?

He didn't want to face the truth. He was too scared of what would happen. What might Jason say. How he'd react.

He just wanted to keep things the same.

Even if it kills him.?

Leo sobbed, and the flames burned brighter. If this was love then he didn't want it. Or maybe if love was this painful then he deserved it. Another arrow pierced his back—or maybe that was the feeling of his heart breaking more—and more images flashed through his mind.

He was back on that mountain in Colorado. Jason had his arms around Piper, his face scrunched up in concern. Leo pretended it didn't bother him. It was cold, and Piper ended up getting hyperthermia. He had tried to ignore the aching in his chest. He didn't want to think about how much he wanted to be in her place.

After their quest, they left him alone while he worked on the Argo II. He named it after the ship the first Jason sailed on.

It was all for Jason.

He was back on the Argo right after he had fired on New Rome—Jason's home. Everyone was angry with him, and Jason was in the infirmary; some asshole threw a brick at his head. 

He didn't go down to him. He couldn't face Jason.

It was all his fault.

Jason got hurt because of him.

And he didn't even have the guts to face him.

There were more scenes like this flooding his senses. At some point, his brain switched off, and he was just drowning in agony. He couldn't move or speak.

He was weak.

Meanwhile, the flames grew to an inferno of green and reds, drowning out everything. Leo's hair was a white flame. An outline of wings caught fire for a moment before being put out again.

"Interesting!" Cupid's voice said from somewhere above. Do you have strength after all?

"I...I can't," Leo said, though it sounded more like a whimper. He was on his knees now. 

Heh, too weak to admit your feelings and too weak to stand, his mind mocked in Cupid's voice.

Still hiding, Cupid said above, a flame burned an outline of a wing tip before going out again. You do not have the strength.

Leo sobbed. He really was weak. He was going to burn everything down just because he didn't want to admit his feelings.

"Leo" Jason yelled from somewhere. "It's okay! I get it!"

Leo stared at the burning grass below him. It was too hot for tears to fall. Only steam came from his eyes. 

"No, you don't," He said defeatedly. Jason didn't understand. He couldn't understand. If he understood, then he wouldn't be so nice to Leo. "There's no way you understand. If you did you'd hate me".

And so you run away again, Cupid chided, From yourself, from your feelings, and from your friends.

The fire had engulfed Cupid's wings now. But the god laughed cruelly and blew it away.

"Leave him alone Cupid," Jason croaked somewhere. "This isn't your..."

Oh gods, he was hurting Jason again. The smoke is choking him.

Cupid's laugh echoed from above the flames. But oh, it is exactly my business, Jason Grace. Love is me. I am love.

"Leo!" Jason choked out through the smoke.

Oh, you're killing him, you're killing him. Leo's brain screamed. You're a monster, you're such a fucking monster, and you're weak.

"Look, I don't care if you're in love with Piper!" 

He doesn't understand. He doesn't. He doesn't. Leo's brain screamed over and over again.

Cupid laughed again, and Leo's will broke.

"I—I'm not in love with Piper," Leo said, and everything seemed to go silent.

The fire subsided and all of Leo's fight and denial went out at once.

Cupid circled Leo like a shark. His form was visible now—long blond hair, muscular in a simple white frock and jeans, snowy white wings that were singed at the tips. The bow and quiver slung over his shoulder were weapons of war—not toys. His eyes were as red as blood, as if every heart in the world was broken and squeezed dry into one poisonous mixture.

Leo vaguely recalled that some think that Eros was a son of Ares and Aphrodite. And he could see why:

Love and War were the most painful things in the world.

He gestured for Leo to continue.

"I have a crush on you, Jason." Leo said.

The fire died down so Leo could see Jason's face.

And he swore he saw pity in his eyes.

The End

[erinwantstowrite]

Will there be some sort of similarities between the various fics? like maybe in some Peter will have the same past or Dick will be his dad?

(at first i was a little skeptical of Ned and Peter but its growing on me and im really interested in seeing how you put them together (but i am a sucker for unrequited love in friends to lovers)

also i can't wait for the next chapter but take your time i dont think that any of us are going anywhere, like your writing alone made me want to practice drawing and writing in English so thank you for the motivation i guess )

At this point in time, a lot of the fics have the same LoF background with the same Peter, but it varies between the aus. In the Catwoman AU, it's the same Peter, but he hasn't met the Avengers. In Psych, same thing, but he runs away from home with Harry instead of being alone. And in the Circus AU, I combined the DC and Marvel universe to have them being the same universe, just coexisting, so things changed around. Peter has a more DC-like backstory in that fic. And in all of them, Dick is his dad... I just can't take it away now that I've written it.

But!! there are things that I wish I could have included in LoF that will be included in other fics. Like Helena and Kate! I play around with a lot of the details in the other fics.

I put numbers in this drawing. 1299 is the LoF Peter universe, and 1300 is the LoF Gotham universe. So 12991, 12992, 12993/13001 13002, etc, all represent that it's the same characters, but things have changed around. Mostly because I got super attached to LoF Peter so much

🐂 choose your tropes! 👑

taking a free tag from @bewitchingbloom 💕

coffee shop or flower girl | au or fix-it | enemies to lovers or childhood friends | angst or fluff | love at first sight or pining | modern au or historical au | break up & make up or proposal & wedding | get together or established relationship | soulmates or unrequited | fake dating or secret dating | obvious pining or domestic fluff | hurt/comfort or crack | meet the parents or meet cute

Coffee shop purely because I thought of Muro n co running a Coffee shop and I need that done office style ASAP. Someone will die!

I get unreasonable attached to media that sucks so I'm a sucker for a fix it... shout out to @buds-and-baubles authority transfer fix it it's canon to meeee. I do love a good AU but it's gotta be done well with how the characters were translated and changed by the new universe so I get pickyyy

Again I like both but childhood friends has an aspect of someone knowing a lot of stuff charecters hide, it makes reuniting after reinventing yourselves so delicious... Elena and Muro my beloveds, that lengthy history is so fun to play with

Im loving fluff much more recently but look I can't say anything other than angst. Ballance is key, a good ratio elevates both but I love me some angst

pining all the way... see prev two answers lol.

Historical AUs! I feel it's much more likely to be interesting to me and seeing how different times and cultures shape characters is a lot of fun. I'm biased bc I like the kind of high stakes that come more easily in restricted historical environments that are harder to translate to modern aus- but also muro n co is a modern au of ffxiv that got put of hands so the preference is more me being picky

I'm not big on either but break up and make up is something I'm more likely to do myself and it's intresting to see how characters deal with a breakup, even if it can often feel cheap.

Both are fun, seeing a relationship developing and then how they react when it's really settled are both great and it's more of what am I in the mood for

Unrequited can be really interesting to see how a character reacts, where as I only like deconstructions of soul mates.

both are good but the amount of ocs of mine who carefully fake relationships means I gotta pick it. Not even fake dating to lovers just fucking with people. It's so fun

pining is fun but I am a sucker for domestic fluff now...

Hurt comfort is my lifeblood... I got plenty of crack snippets I keep meaning to draw but hurt comfort my darling...

Seeing who raised a character is always fascinating whether the kid follows in their footsteps or does everything to pose them to everything in between!

[mrsoftthoughts]

Maybe im late to do this

But I'm bored, so come with me to my rambling about my personal opinion towards some of Nico di Angelo ships and Rating each one

(Disclaimer: Nothing here goes with intention of offend someone,i always try to be respectful but if something that i say here sounds rude, feel free to tell, I never notice how bad can sound something until someone else points it out)

-Percico/ Nicerci 4/10

Honestly i admire the people that ship this and doesn't give a fuck about what other people say, some of the fan artist and writers make things soo good that should be in a museum

But it's not my personal liking, i only like this when its the exploration of Nico's unrequited crush on Percy , but i honestly I never liked when Nico and Percy had a 100% good relationship of any kind, because their dynamic is complicated at best ( i could talk about it for hours while im probably crying because both are pretty dear to me) and i prefer to think that now their are just "neutral" to each other ( see that part of my description that says "bittersweet relationships sucker" this is why is there) and all that extends to that i cant see these two in a romantic relationship

But that's all, is just not my personal liking, i don't mind the existence of this couple and once again, the people that makes content from them are really talented an deserve all my respect, you guys always come out with the best ideas for angst and i love that of all of you

-Jasico 9/10

They're Cute!! Honestly i don't have my own ideas for them but the Romantic content of these two 90% of the times it's good and i enjoy it ,I really value their friendship more that any other dynamic so i prefer them in a platonic way,but that doesn't mean that i don't get the vision, they really had potential and the people out there are using it

-Solangelo 5/10 or 11/10

The two rates exist because i honestly feel they relationship in canon as one of the worst ways that existed to make them a couple, it's obvious that they are supposed to be something cute and healthy, but all their development is out of screen and then they are just introduced as a couple when Apollo and meg made it to camp, some of their scenes leave me feeling that Nico is out of characters and also in order to give Will the rol of "protective boyfriend" Nico feels quite weak and Will doesn't get many chances of get out that role for being his own character, and he had a lot o potential

(And I'm not be talking about TsatS because is just all the fails of their relationship but multiplied by 1000, ooc, plot holes and toxic traits all around, it's not that bad as a read, but as canon content it is)

But as the saying goes "if you want something done right, do it yourself"

And that's exactly what I do with them, because in this housedhold we don't tolerate wasted potential of any kind, and they relationship deserved better , because honestly the things we know about them and their individual personalities just feels as a good mach and even if the things wouldn't be perfect, no couple it's at the start so it's ok

I also like them in a platonic way, but i think that just like i appreciate more platonic jason and Nico because that how i was introduced to them i lead more towards see them in a romantic one

So Canon gets 5/10 because " it's the tough that counts" ig?

And 11/10 goes for what they could have been ,should be in canon and are in my mind

( i talk abou my thoughts of them a little bit more in this Post if you want to check)

-Nicobaster 9/10

I know, it's a rare ship, but They can be interesting on any kind of relationship and why not make it romantic?? there's a lot of dynamics of where to chose and the alternative AUs that i see of them are great,Cthonic demigod X Cthonic demigod is a good base, I don't have much to say apart from that

Except that you can blame @drksanctuary content for make me like the ship in first place

-Valdangelo 4/10

Not a bad ship ig, i just don't see them as a couple and I don't even now why, i just can't see it , and i also have a pretty strong headcanon of Leo as aromantic so its hard for me to see him in Romantic relationships, but i have nothing against it so that's all

-Clovico 7/10

Another rare ship, one that I've seen around but honestly don't have a a lot to say, i like the little that we see from Clovis and i always like the Cthonic demigod X Cthonic demigod so 7/10 just due the lack of content

-Nico x literally any woman -80000000/10

I love Nicos platonic relationships with the womans in his life, can we keep that PLATONIC ??

[calixcem]

Some post Tsc thoughts! spoilers under the cut :)

I have so many annotations in this book. (668 to be exact), so im just grazing the surface of everything with this one sooo part 1 perhaps?

-Kevin and jean. Jeans unrequited crush on kevin. I need to know more about this and I hope Nora delves into the semantics in the next book.

-Also how this relates to Kevin day famously saying it was easier to be straight. I figured this was a common thought among the ravens or at least Riko’s court,but Jean doesn't mention it once throughout the entire book. He brings up his attraction towards men multiple times ,and there was never any denying it. It was just something he accepted, so how did Kevin get the idea that it was easier to be straight and Jean didn't? Did Jean ever think this way and eventually changed it down the line or what?

-Im a sucker for found family and Nora really delivered with this one. Laila,Cat, and Jeremy are making it known to Jean that they’ll always be there and genuinely want to help him. The dynamic between all of them is so tender and I think it’ll be so healing for Jean. 

-Also I hope we see more of the floozy squad in the next book! 

-I need them to convince Jean to try boba at some point, and i really hope his relationship with food gets better. I really love that he’s cooking with cat and I really hope it develops into one of his hobbies outside of Exy. Let this boy live a little!

-speaking of hobbies: Cat teaching Jean how to ride a motorcycle?? I just feel like it would be beneficial(not to Jeremy’s heart but thats ok) 

-This specific moment with cat and jean 

she ran down to the tide to rinse it off with childish glee. Jean obediently inspected it when she brought it back, and she tucked it into his breast pocket with a cheerful “For you!”

Small things like this just really show how much they care about him.

- What’s up with Jeremy's family?? I really want to know what happened to where Jeremy “tore them apart” like what was the scandal his freshman year??? It was mentioned briefly but then Jeremy just decided it wasn't worth mentioning again considering all that was going on? The biggest “im fine” in history fr. Also when Cat is telling Jean about everyone’s siblings she mentions how when you go over 4 kids there's bound to be one asshole, but she only listed 4. So did one of his siblings die?? I might be reading too far into this but! Or it could be that one of them cut off all ties to the family after something happened? I don't know but I’m excited to read more about it in the next book!

Jeremy has—three. One sister, two brothers. The older brother’s an absolute tool, but there’s bound to be a jerk or two once you pass four kids.” Jean idly wondered what she’d changed at the last minute and why,

- The constant touches everyone gives Jean to ground him and make him feel loved just makes me so happy. 

- also jean constantly touching jeremy’s chin to get his attention??? Hello? 

A hand on his chin startled him into looking up. When he met Jean’s eyes, Jean only said, “Focus on what’s important.” “I am,” Jeremy said. Jean opened his mouth, closed it again, and let go of Jeremy without a word. Jeremy snagged his arm when he started to turn away. “Who did this to you?”

This line in particular really hit me.

-just jerejean in general honestly. The way Jeremy genuinely cares about him and wanting to help him heal 

You are going to be my success story: Jean Moreau the person, not Jean Moreau of the perfect Court.

“Will you help me?” he asked. “Anything you need.” “A blank check is a dangerous thing to offer.” “Try me,” Jeremy said. “I can afford it.”

-neil. Bro was just being a menace and seeing him from an outsiders pov makes me realize just how unhinged he seems to everyone. But him ordering that hit on Grayson without a second thought? Iconic. As everyone else is saying he dropped by to serve cunt and then left. 

-Jean dropping the most poetic line about Neil and Andrew’s relationship and then just not thinking about it ever again is so wild lmao.

Jean noticed how Andrew and Neil moved like they were caught in each other’s gravity, in each other’s space more than they were out of it, cigarette smoke and matching armbands and lingering looks when one fell out of orbit for too long.

-The parallels between Jean and Neil and how they dealt with things. I don't know if you can really call some of them parallels but they are connected in my head bro. 

-JEANS SISTER. Oh this shit hurts from the faint memory we get to the end when we find out that she's dead??? Nora you're paying for my therapy oh my god. And when Jean is mourning her the snippet of the memory of stitching up her dress that she’d get caught in the blackberry bushes???? He genuinely loved her and just when he’d be getting to a point to where he’d feel safe enough to try to get in contact with her again to find out his parents sold her off and she died because of it???? Yeah bitch burn your family to the ground. I hope we get more memories with her in them.
