When Only The Ruthless Remain

Love is, after all, the first and last casualty of war. Love and war, war and love, all is fair, two sides of the same coin, love and war, war and love and--

Love and War.

Silena and Clarisse.

But--

Silena is dead.

Love is dead.

War remains.

Clarisse remains.

Clarisse remains and she is angry and hurt and shocked and gods, Beckendorf died, and then Michael-- Michael was her fault, and she's still staring at Silena's face and it looks like a fucking raw hamburger and Silena dying is definitely her fault but also maybe not?

But she doesn't have time to think about that right now because Chris is crying behind her, sniffling, soft and quiet and Percy is screaming, her siblings are dying (she sees Mark dead, but she can tell it's Mark, his face isn't a fucking hamburger right now, not like Silena), so she shuts Silena's eyes (what's left of them anyway, they fall apart beneath her hands, and gods, this is the gentlest she's ever been but she's still breaking--), presses the bracelet she'd taken off so gently into Chris' hand for safe keeping, and she--

She starts screaming. This is Kronos' fault. This is her father's fault. Everyone here, everyone but her is to blame right now, and she is going to kill them all, and then maybe she'll die, succumbing to wounds or grief or a broken heart (is Will even alive right now? Is Chris all she has left?).

So she's screaming and Percy is fighting his way to her and he touches her shoulder and she yells and keeps fighting and somewhere along the way her father fucking blesses her, as if she gives a fuck about staying alive, about what he thinks anymore, as if she wouldn't kill him if that would bring them back--

Love is gone. Her Love is gone-- her loves are gone.

And she knows she is Achilles in this moment, know Silena knew what she was doing, knew who Patroclus was, and all she can think is: good.

Good, because Achilles dies in the end.

Because right now, isn't that all she wants, because she loves Chris but-- Chris is one person, and Chris will get over it if she dies and everyone else she loves is dead or missing in action and they probably all hate her, so--

The Lethe sounds good. Or punishment, because that's what she deserves isn't it, she indirectly murdered teenagers (and a couple directly, but she doesn't feel so bad for that because they-- Beckendorf died to stop them, Silena died to stop them, Michael died to stop them), and the last thing she said to Michael was that she hated him and that's what Michael went to the grave with and gods, she loves him, she loves all of them, won't they come back?

Because death is real and Death is real and she will fight Him, if He can bring them back.

But then she calls Kronos a coward, and she never has a chance. She is War and a Warrior but Kronos is older than her father, and her father's blessing, and in one universe, maybe her father is powerful enough to protect her (cares enough to protect her), but Love is dead in this universe, or perhaps the blessing doesn't work on those who don't want to be saved, but either way--

Clarisse falls.

(It's such a shame she realises all too late, the truth of Kronos' scythe. Of stygian iron. Of how she will never reunite with her Loved.)

Three thousand years from now, perhaps another young child will come by the River Styx. And perhaps, this time, it will not be the Son of Kings, Achilles who warns them.

It will be the girl who doesn't remember what her name is anymore (if it's Risse or Claire, or some combination), but a girl who remembers five people, and of how only days before her death, flowers were being braided into her hair.

But that is a story for another day. And for the three thousand years in between, well--

This girl will have a lot of time to think about those who left, and those she left.

Now or Never

Pairing : Luke Castellan x reader

Word Count :

Summary : Luke missed his chance to ask you an important question, and is painfully unaware of it.

Warnings: mostly fluff! nothing crazy- Luke is dumb, Clarisse is an overprotective bestie, talk of self-doubt etc.

Masterlist here!

A/N : thinking of making this a little series of moments in your relationship- let me know if that’s something you guys would like!

‘Don’t you think it’s a little much?’ You questioned, eyeing your own reflection with what some might call a generous amount of scrutiny.

Silena gave no indication that she’d heard and continued talking, ‘there’ll be such good food, and wine of course, lots and lot of wine..’

The pins in your hair were already beginning to ache, and you tried not to wince as she added yet another one to the elegant braid she was painstakingly creating.

‘- imagine if we made this much fuss for our birthdays,’ she continued, ‘like, I get that he’s the god of festivity but I’ve got to question why he wants to party with a load of hormonal teenagers. Not that I’m complaining, we could all use a good party.’

Silena was already dressed: a deep purple gown of silk accented with golden cuffs, and little combs fashioned like gilded laurel leaves swept her hair away from her face. She looked beautiful, and there was not a doubt in your mind that she was the daughter of Aphrodite.

She’d picked out your dress which had been a relief, a soft chiffon that seemed to float when you moved. It was simple but elegant, she’d insisted- perfect for a daughter of Athena. She’d also said that the hair should match, but it’d been half an hour since she’d started and it was starting to feel everything but simple.

‘And can you believe we’re allowed to switch tables tonight? I can’t wait! Charles said we’d sit together obviously and I’m sure the Hermes boys will join as and..’

Her smile faltered when she saw the look on your face and she quickly halted her movements, ‘oh, don’t you like it?’

‘No no, it’s beautiful!’ You stammered quickly; she’d curled and brainded your hair back in a thick, loose plait with little gold pins shimmering throughout. Even in cabin 10, her skills were unrivalled. ‘I just- do you think it’s too much?’ You questioned again.

‘Too much?’ She scoffed, and then her full lips parted in a dazzling smile, ‘of course it’s too much, that’s the point! We want every boy in this camp on their knees! Figuratively of course.’

You tried to hide the smile that tugged on your lips, ‘You’ve already got Charles drooling after you non-stop, leave some for the rest of us.’

‘Some?’ She said and grinned rather fiendishly, ‘or do you want me to leave just a certain son of Hermes for you?’

You rolled your eyes and gave her a smooth, and rather horrible gesture as she went back to toying with your hair, giggling to herself.

Silena had been the one to introduce you to Luke two years prior. She’d gracefully swept you into her circle the moment you’d arrived in camp, convinced you would be claimed by her mother too. Had Luke not intervened and taken you to cabin 11 she probably would’ve had you sleeping top to toe in her bunk; she’d reluctantly handed you over, but not before she’d seen the look that had passed between the two of you. Love at first sight she’d insisted, and maybe she’d been mistaken on his end, but she hadn’t on yours.

‘You know, he really does like you. I can tell, and you should believe me because it’s literally my thing.’ She sighed, stepping back to admire her handiwork. She pulled and prodded at a few loose hairs until she seemed satisfied, then dragged you over to the long mirror at the back of the cabin.

You didn’t know how she’d managed it, but for once you didn’t cringe at the reflection you saw and a part of you couldn’t quite believe what stared back. There was no denying she was a master at her craft.

‘You look so beautiful!’ Silena squealed, her hands clasped together in pride. Then, without warning she pulled you into a bone-crushing hug that had the air leaving your lungs. ‘Tonight’s the night, for both of us, I can feel it!’

You hoped she was right as you followed her out of the cabin, towards the glittering lights in the pavilion.

Luke stood with Charles and Chris at the edge of the party, sipping slowly on the glass of wine in his hand. He supposed Mr D had been granted a night of reprieve.

‘Seriously man, chill out,’ he whispered over Beckendorf’s shoulder, ‘she’ll be here. Keep frowning like that and you’ll pop a blood vessel.’

He could sense Charles shifting in his feet nervously and his mouth twitched slightly, he knew the feeling all too well. He’d been on edge all day too. Chris was smirking too, but his was all smugness; he’d asked Clarisse outright to attend the party with him and much to everyone’s surprise, she’d said yes immediately, which was lucky for him because the alternative would almost certainly have been the loss of a limb.

‘How can it possibly take this long to get ready?’ Charles said, turning to face Luke. It was odd to see the son of Hephaestus so flustered when he was normally immune to the whims of teenage hormones; apparently he was not at all immune to the power Silena Beauregard seemed to hold over him. ‘Maybe she’s not coming man, we should just go before- oh..’ he trailed off. His eyes went starry and Luke whipped his head around to see what had entranced his friend.

There was Silena in her finery, tossing her hair over a shoulder as she swept into the pavilion. She threw a dangerously beautiful grin at Charles who was beginning to look a little like he might faint.

‘Hi Charles,’ she offered as she sauntered over. Anyone else might’ve missed the shake in her voice, but Luke caught the slightly nervous wobble of her tone and smiled. Good for Beckendorf.

‘You look great Silena,’ he managed to cough out. He quickly eyed Luke who gave an tiny nod of approval as if to say ‘keep going buddy!’

‘I know,’ she sighed dreamily, giving a little twirl of her dress before looping her arm through Charles’ who was now definitely holding his breath. Silena giggled and patted his chest sweetly before throwing a mischievous glare at Luke, ‘Just wait till you see her, I think you’ll get a little breathless too Castellan. Now come on Charlie, let’s get a drink.’

Luke watched her lead his friend away to where Chris stood with an arm slung around Clarisse’s waist; she’d opted for a gown of stormy grey adorned with tiny silver chains, as close to armour as she could get he guessed. She looked slightly terrifying, until Chris whispered something in her ear that had a blushing like crazy and stepping even closer into his side.

‘They make a great couple, don’t you think?’

Luke spun around quickly at the sound of your voice and cursed silently, Silena had been right. All the air left his lungs in a great breath and he was instantly lightheaded at the sight of you.

Devastating was the only word that came to his mind. Truly devastating. You could’ve walked into Olympus then and there and they probably would’ve pronounced you a goddess in an instant. He was struck dumb, and silent. He wanted to say something about how beautiful you looked, or how he’d been wrapped around your delicate finger the day you’d walked into camp; instead his frantic brain settled on, ‘nice dress, did you borrow it from Silena?’

You flinched. ‘No. We were sent a trunk to pick from from her mother.’

‘Oh.’ Was all he could reply as his gaze raked over you again. ‘That’s awfully nice of her.’

‘Very.’ You said through gritted teeth, trying to stop the scarlet blush you could feel rising to your cheeks. What was his problem? It wasn’t unusual for Luke to be blunt, he always struggled to keep his opinions to himself and it had gotten you both in hot water a hundred times before; but it was unusual for him to be blunt with you.

He’d been distant all week, he’d managed to miss three sparring sessions with you and counsellor duties on several occasions. The first few times Chris had been polite enough to make excuses for him, but when the two of you walked into the arena one morning to find Luke and Travis swinging swords at eachother, he’d stayed silent. He didn’t have to tell you what was already painfully obvious. Luke wasn’t ill, and hadn’t ’slept in late’, he’d just been avoiding spending any amount of time with you. You hadn’t had any idea why; and now, standing in the pavilion with the air thinning in between you both, you were even more confused.

He ran his eyes over your dress yet another time and something seemed to snap in your chest. ‘If you’re going to keep judging my outfit,’ you managed to spit out, ‘do it at the dinner table, I’m starving and don’t have the energy to defend myself. Let’s go sit with the others.’

You span away from him so quickly you missed him opening and closing his mouth as he tried to explain himself. As you stalked towards the table your friends had gathered around you must’ve been wearing a murderous expression, because Silena quirked her eyebrow at him with a face that said ‘what did you say?’ He responded with a small shrug before slipping into the seat opposite you.

Luke tried, and failed, to catch your eye throughout dinner. Food came and went, and glasses of a sweet amber wine refilled themselves as soon as the last drop hit the drinker’s lips. Silena had made her way through at least five glasses by his count, and was whispering something in Charles’ ear that had the man choking on his strawberry tart. You’d barely touched yours, and had politely declined his offer to get you something else to drink. You’d barely touched your dinner either, pushing things around your plate with your fork until Connor had unceremoniously dumped the contents of it onto his own. He felt he should apologise for his brother’s behaviour, but when he’d tried, you’d turned to watch the campers dancing by the fire.

The soft light from the flames flickered over the planes of your face and he knew he shouldn’t stare, but after starving himself of you for almost a week, he was finding it hard to look away. If he was honest with himself, it had been almost impossible to endure. You’d spent almost every day together for two years; a week apart had him feeling like he was missing a limb.

But a week apart was better than a week of watching male campers saunter up to you in a flurry of proposals. He’d managed to stick around long enough to see two Ares boys crash and burn and that was more than enough. If the failures were that bad, seeing you agree to attend the party with someone would probably have finished him off. He wondered which insufferable git you’d given in to, which one you’d been stood up by.

Curious, he leaned forward and asked loud enough to get your attention- ‘where’s your date?’

You slid your eyes away from the dancers and faced Luke. He was toying with the stem of his glass. Your throat tightened, and your face warmed uncomfortably. ‘I don’t have one.’

‘What?’ He asked incredulously.

‘Loads of people came alone Luke.’ You said replied quietly, keenly aware of the sudden silence of the conversations between everyone else at the table. ‘It’s not a big deal.’

‘I know, I just thought you would’ve put someone out of their misery. Every guy at camp must’ve asked you.’

‘Almost every guy.’ Chris whispered into his drink, rolling his eyes.

‘A few asked, yes.’ You murmured.

‘And you came alone anyway?’

You could’ve sworn Chris was wincing now, and Clarisse had the good sense to find the lights strung above the tables incredibly interesting all of a sudden. Silena however, looked like she was about to explode. You didn’t even know where to begin, your cheeks weren’t warm anymore, they were burning.

‘Yes.’ You ground out, hoping he’d take the hint and keep his mouth shut for once.

Luke went to speak, but Charles cut in before he could begin. ‘We should go dance!’ He declared, slapping his knees over-enthusiastically and standing so quickly he nearly toppled over his chair. The others rose with murmurs of agreement, eager to get away from what was becoming an increasingly awkward conversation.

‘You guys go ahead,’ you said, rising from your chair ‘I’m going to get some fresh air.’

You hoped no one would mention that you were already outside, surrounded by fresh air, and thankfully no one did. Silena gave you an apologetic look but you shook it off. The lights suddenly seemed much too bright, and the table of your friends was starting to feel like an audience to your embarrassment. As they all walked towards the fire you began in the opposite direction, lifting your dress slightly to allow your feet to travel quickly towards the cabins.

Luke felt Silena’s hand meet the back of his head in a swift slap before he could reach out to stop it.

‘You are as dense as old bread Castellan!’ She hissed as he cradled his neck. The boys were looking at him disapprovingly, but Clarisse was just glaring at him like she was sizing him up for a fight.

‘Chris where’s my knife?’ She asked coldly, holding her hand out in her boyfriend’s direction.

‘Woah- what did I do?’ Luke exclaimed, which earned him a hard flick right in the centre of his forehead. Whoever said Aphrodite’s children weren’t vicious fighters was beginning to sound like a goddam liar, he thought.

‘Do you know how many guys she turned down for tonight?’ Silena continued, ‘almost every guy at camp! And do you know why Captain No Clue?’

Luke just stared blankly until she let out an exasperated sigh. ‘Because she was waiting for you to ask her! I was hoping you’d pull your finger out by the end of the week but you didn’t, and you let her come alone.’

He flinched. Silena’s face tightened and her dark eyes flicked to Charles. Something unsaid flashed between them before she turned her gaze back on Luke; her anger was gone, replaced with something strangely close to pity.

‘You wanted to ask her, didn’t you?’ She asked- carefully. Her eyes were beginning to crinkle like she was about to burst into tears. She dashed forward and forced him down into a tight hug. ‘Oh Luke, I’m so stupid!’

Clarisse rolled her eyes. ‘Daughter of the goddess of love and you didn’t see this one coming? Even Chris figured this one out!’ She chided, then added sweetly in his direction, ‘no offence babe.’

He thought of every moment he’d spent with you; the hours of sparring sessions under the heat of the summer sun, the picnics out in the strawberry fields, sneaking between your cabins in the middle of the night to swap stories of your lives before all of this. He’d known the risks of falling for you, and he’d done it anyway. He’d thought about telling you a hundred times. He had thought about telling you that he didn’t want or expect anything from you in return, that he just needed you to know how he felt because it was torture to suffer it in silence. Over the months he’d managed to convince himself that you didn’t feel anything close to what he felt for you, and had resigned himself to living in the wake of your existence.

Luke’s heart stumbled, taking all the confusion and doubt with it, he blurted, ‘I should go after her,’ and started after you, his pulse pounding in his ears.

Even at a fast-paced jog, he only managed to catch up with you when you were rushing up the stairs to your cabin, the skirts of your dress billowing out behind you.

‘Wait up!’ he shouted through heavy breaths.

You didn’t let him continue and just increased your pace, rushing to get to the door. If you could make it inside and shut him out, perhaps he wouldn’t see the tears that had begun fall. A small part of you ached to stop and turn to him, but you knew what was coming. Silena would have tried to intervene once you’d left, and he was probably coming after you to let you down gently. You weren’t sure you could survive that.

‘Gods will you slow down!’ Luke yelled, ‘I want to talk to you!’

‘Don’t bother,’ you said bluntly, ‘I know what you’re going to say.’

‘Oh yeah? What am I going to say?’

He’d taken the Athena cabin steps two at a time and was right behind you now. You could hear his ragged breathing, had he ran here? He must really want to get it over with, you thought bitterly. ‘Does it matter? Just go back to the party Luke, they’ll be missing you.’

‘It matters to me. I don’t want to be there if you’re not.’ He said softly and reached out to grab your hand. His fingers grazed your own, warm and steadfast- patiently waiting for you to pull away. But you didn’t, you couldn’t bare it.

As you turned to face him fully you realised you were close enough to share breath. In other circumstances you might’ve stared up at him with longing; now all there seemed to be was the awful sinking feeling that you were about to lose him.

You opted to not meet his eyesight, and instead studied the scuffed wood of the cabin porch beneath your feet.

‘Then why didn’t you ask me to go with you?’ You managed to ask. You could feel his eyes on you, burning into your skin like a brand. ‘I thought we were friends Luke, I thought that would be enough to get you to tolerate me for one evening so neither of us had to go alone.’

‘That’s not..’ he took a deep breath before he continued. Now or never, he thought, and opted for now.

‘I didn’t ask you because I didn’t want to go as your friend. I wanted to go as your date. I knew you’d say no, because every guy here was chalking up how to ask you themselves and I couldn’t- I couldn’t stand it. I’d prepared myself to see you with someone else tonight and it caught me off guard to see you alone. I had all these things I wanted to say to you, about how beautiful you looked, but I panicked and said some really stupid stuff back there. And i’m sorry, for all of it.’

It was your turn to take a deep breath, and without thinking your fingers tightened around his own. The air was too tight, humming between your bodies, between your joined hands.

‘Ask me now then.’ You dared.

He was silent for long enough that you dared to look up and meet his eyes. You were sure your expression was mirrored on his own: shock, longing, and then something like amusement.

He was smiling like a kid on Christmas at your offer, broad and unrestrained. ‘You want me to ask you to go to the party with me? Now? After I’ve just poured my heart out?’

‘If you don’t want to that fine.’ You teased, a small smile returning to your face. ‘What was it you said about every guy at camp?’

Luke let out a laugh and took a step closer, ‘I don’t care about the party. Go on a date with me. Tomorrow, today, hell let’s go now. I don’t care. Just go out with me. I’m not waiting another two years for this chance.’

‘Of course I’ll go out with you Castellan.’ You replied softly. You didn’t even have to think about your answer, you’d been preparing it for months.

‘Really?’

‘Yes really.’ You laughed and gave his hand a gentle squeeze.

With a sudden burst of confidence, Luke leaned down to brush his mouth against your blushing cheek. You thought you might burst then and there as he pulled you into his chest to whisper in your ear, ‘you look beautiful. You are beautiful. Always. Even covered in sweat during sparring practice, or windswept from the chariot races. I can never look away from you.’

He was blushing too when he pulled away, leaving you staring up at him, breathless again. His smile was nervous as he said, ‘I want to do this properly, I’ll plan something great I promise. But for now, I would be honoured if you’d come back to the party with me, as my date.’

You quirked an eyebrow. ‘Will you dance with me?’

‘Of course I’ll dance with you,’ Luke said, wrapping an arm around your waist, ‘I plan to show you off in fact. I’m pretty sure I’ve just achieved the impossible as far as the guys here are aware. I reserve bragging rights.’

more tweets and i have a lot more plus some oc centered ones if anyone wants those ones LMFAO

part one

[applecidersstuff]

Yes, yes, Bianca is the older sister character, and no one can argue with that, but can I tell you who I see as thee eldest daughter character?

Clarrise La Rue.

Clarrise who was ares cabin counselor since she was 12-14 and was the eldest child of ares at that point.

Clarrise who tried her best at keeping her cabin intact while her brothers didn’t give a shit about her, her feelings and wellbeing.

Clarrise who went on a quest to please her father, but none of her brothers went with her and her father said that he would prefer they went on the quest instead of her.

Clarrise who desperately tries to keep Chris alive and at the border of sanity because he was the only person to actually care about her.

Clarrise who has exactly three people close to her.

Clarrise who looses two of them to war and her own pride.

Clarrise who’s so hostile that the only reason she’s friends with Beckendorf and Silena is Silena’s stubbornness.

Clarrise who hates Percy not because she dislikes him, but because she envies his relationship with his father.

Clarrise who has no relationship with her mother, and when she visits her in TTC is the first time she does it in years.

Clarrise who hates her father for neglecting her in favor of her brothers, but desperately tries to get his attention and praise at the same time.

Clarrise who’s forced to raise her siblings instead of her father and still getting nothing for it.

Clarrise who’s only childhood dream is to break free and leave camp behind, just to keep going back even after getting into college because she can’t live without those responsibilities even if she hates them.

Types of Love in Percy Jackson

Annabeth and Percy: They’re the last to know

Will and Nico: Opposites attract

Thalia and Reyna: Partners in 'crime'

Silena and Charles: Right person, wrong time

Clarisse and Chris: Enemies to Lovers

[my-pjo-stuff]

I'm bored, so here are my headcanon for how the PJO characters would act in an amusement park

-Percy and Clarisse are on a single-minded mission to ride all the rollercoasters they are. They do not care what they have to do to achieve it. Or what it takes to achieve it before the other. -Annabeth has a fully planned and mapped out timetable and route planned for the optimal experience of the park in relativation to the cost of the tickets. -Silena and Beckendorf vanish 10 minutes in and are having a very romantic date. -Grover is too scared to go on any of the rollercoasters, so instead he keeps on the ground with Thalia who's scarred of the heights. -Luke is relaxed af just following around the kids on their rides and stealing the souvenirs they want from these overprized shops. -Alabaster is having the sugar rush of his life from too many slushies. Someone call an ambulance, please. -Ethan never visited an amusement park before and his mind is BLOWN. -Chris is also just chilling out like Luke; the two are probably the most relaxed ones there ngl. -Nico and Bianca are both very excited for the house of horrors and end up doing it a BUNCH of times. -The gods wanted to do a family trip, it ends up in disaster. Apollo is disowned now. Hestia dipped 30 minutes in and joined up with the kids.

The stoll brothers hcs

Travis can tell when ppl are lying

Connor is quieter and less trusting than Travis

Travis is faster than Connor

Connor is better at unlocking stuff

They can both speak sooooo many languages

They're both rlly rlly smart they js don't act like it

Connor's hair is always at least a little bit longer than travis'

Travis is taller than Connor but u can't tell unless they're right next to each other

Travis gets hurt more (mainly bc he tries to keep Connor safe a lot and would literally take an arrow for him (and has, Connor yelled at him for it))

they have their ears pierced. They don't wear earrings often but they lost a bet to sm1 in the Aphrodite cabin so they had to get their ears pierced (drew complained for a week abt the fact that "their shouldn't be able to look that good with earrings this was supposed to be a coincidence not a chance for them to look so fucking fashionable)

Connor is actually pretty good friends w Drew

They were rlly good friends w Lee and Michael and Connor sobbed when they died when him and Travis were alone (Travis did too but only after Connor fell asleep)

connor doesn't trust as easy as Travis so it took him so long to trust Chris again after he came back from the labyrinth and wasn't crazy anymore (Travis immediately trusted Chris after he confirmed that he wasn't working w luke anymore)

Lee tried to reach Connor to bake but Lee is terrible at cooking and baking (and his mother is like never around so literally no one knows how he didn't starve when he wasn't at camp) so they had to ask Chris and Selina to help them and then they made cupcakes with their help (chris' mom taught him how to bake and Selina used to help out at her dad's bakery)

Chris knew Connor had forgiven him when he came back to cabin 11 one day and there was a cupcake on his bed in a little cupcake box w a note that said "from Connor"

Travis and Connor were homeless for a while before an older demigod (probably luke or sm1) found them

Annabeth is actually good friends with them and when she first met them she didn't believe that they weren't twins

Lee taught Connor to play the lyre/harp

lee taught Travis how to play the trombone

Michael helped them with archery

Beckendorf would make locks for Connor to try and unlock

they love playing pranks for revenge lol

they also play a lot of pranks w Percy

They were rlly trying to be there for Nico while his sister and Percy was on a quest and we're rlly nervous for him when he left (bc he hadn't even been claimed let)

absolute menaces. They will prank the shit out of u and then get u the most expensive gift they can find for her bday

clarrise pretends like she hates them but she rlly doesn't

Their friends w Malcolm, one of annabeth's half-brothers bc Malcolm is yearround and annabeth always drags him into 2v2 competition w the stolls lol

Some ppl get annoyed w the stolls bc they're not "responsible enough" to be cabin leaders but they're only rlly cabin leaders bc luke and a bunch of the other older hermes kids left so Travis ended up being the oldest in the cabin so he was literally forced into leadership while he was like 12-14 (and then he decided to co-lead w connor)(the same thing happened to will after Lee and Micheal and a lot of the older apollo kids died in the titan battle)

On that happy note that's all the hcs I can think of :)

I'll probably make a part 2 :))

This has been a very exhausting post to make lmao. I gave some of the characters who don’t have canonical surnames my own Hcs for their surnames. Also, I am yet to read through trials of Apollo, so maybe I’ll come later back to add more Roman names to the list.

Tagging my moots that I like to see their opinions for this (as well as the ones I tagged within the list as well):

@aki-bara @ravingcoffeeaddict @ebony-reine-vibes @squiggle3worm @sleep-needer

[tending-the-hearth]

idk about anyone else but I'M thinking about how selena, annabeth, and chris were each manipulated by luke because they were close to him and trusted him, and how beckendorf, percy, and clarisse each wanted nothing but the best for the person they loved, and tried their best to protect them through their trauma and pain, how even in the face of death, they only wanted each other, and only thought of each other.

so yeah, so happy beckengard never died and selena and beckendorf and clarisse and chris and percy and annabeth get to go on silly little triple dates and everyone gets to laugh at clarisse and percy daring each other to balance a spoon on their nose for two minutes

It would be cool to have like, a book series similar to HoO with the multiple pov's but instead of The Seven or Nico or Reyna, it's the older campers, like Silena, Charles, Clarisse, Chris, Lee, Micheal, the Stoll's, even Luke? Maybe even Will or Thalia? And the stories are like, what was happening in camp half-blood during Percy's quests.

Imagine if we get their pov's of the battle of the labyrinth and battle of Manhattan.

Imagine we get more depth of Luke's relationships with the other campers.

Imagine the Will Solace and Cabin 7 angst.

Imagine the Silena angst.

[punkeropercyjackson]

🏳️‍🌈: Which character who is commonly headcanoned as queer doesn't seem queer to you?

For anyone!

Luke Castellan.He's actually such a paragon of cisheteropatriarchal violence,idk how he's read as anything but a pedophillic chaser💀Every person he was into was an underaged girl and 3/4 are lesbian-coded and Percy is used as evidence but Percy is transfem-coded and he knew her from ages 12-16 so she's included in that.'So misogynistic it's gay'He does not like men,he's racist to moc and killed the black one

[catquenn]

I need in the show to be a scene of gossiping about Percabeth

Like it can be, for example Silena, Katie, Clarisse and Annabeth, or Annabeth with Will (or Chris), or Percy with Charles, or even some random campers (even Mr D). I don't really care what scene ot would be, I just want to see it!
