#The Arrow of Dodona

[starrysymphonies]

I finished Trials of Apollo and I’m still not over it

[witchhazelevesque]

words frost once wrote chapter 5 (last chapter🎉)

"Nico, um, he told me a while back that he used to have a crush on me when he was younger," Percy explains, looking sheepish, like he's not sure he's allowed to share this. "And this was when I was fourteen and he was like ten, so. Anyway, he keeps calling me a straight boy. It's not like, mean spirited or anything. I kind of think it's Nico's way of dealing with the fact that I wasn't interested in him the same way he was."

Leo blinks at this news. His mind unhelpfully supplies all of Leo's similarities to Percy, and it... doesn't make him feel any better about that situation. 

"-like the fact that when we met, there was a four-year age gap between us," Percy is saying. "Now there's only a two-and-a-half-year difference, which I do not understand but even that is still-"

"I thought he and I were gonna be a thing back before the war ended," Leo blurts out. 

It's Percy's turn to blink at him. 

"Then I died and he got mad at me and bonded with Will over that anger and started dating him and organized a bunch of people to hit me and here we are," Leo says, like word vomit. He steeples his fingers under his chin to get himself to shut up. 

"Jesus," Percy says, sitting up straight to stare at him. "This kid...that sucks." 

Leo finds himself laughing and he repeats, "Yeah, it does."

"Uh, when did this even happen, between you two, I mean?" Percy asks. 

"When Annabeth and you were in Tartarus and oh, no this just keeps getting worse!" Leo says, grabbing at his hair, still laughing despite himself. He drops back to stare at the bottom of the bunk above him.

"God, I need to get out of here," Leo tells the mattress above him as the weight of that statement settles into him.

So here is a continuetion of a previous post of mine aka my deaf/mute Apollo au, you can find the 1st part here and 3nd part here

Someone suggested that Apollo was mute in this au as well and definetly like that idea a lot and even if he wasn't mute in this au I would at the very least give him some sort of speach impediment of some sort aka making it a bigger hassle for Apollo to talk and not being able to hear the few words he can manage to get out through stammering would definetly make it ten times harder.

I don't have an physical copy of any of the trials of Apollo books yet so bare with me. But as far as I know the arrow of dodona commuicates with Apollo telepathically and I can definetly imagen Apollo cry tears of joy at being able to hear something other than his own thoughts again and the rest of the time the arrow of dodona might give very rough translations to what other people are saying when Apollo isn't reading their lips or the person isn't writing it down. It might also warn him of some dangers since our dear boy Apollo can't hear.

Also I want to start the story with Meg not knowing any sign lanauge and learning it throughtout the story. On that note Apollo might also cry tears of joy the moment he realizes someone understands sign lanauge.

This is just a promotional clip for an educational institution, but why does it look like Lester / Apollo made a clip for his archery school?
