Salutations to Calypso

Word count: 822

Unedited

Author’s note: To everyone who doesn’t know she deactivated I apologize. I hope it’s okay I included your mcs as I saw her interact with you the most.

This is very sensitive for me to post but I think it’s needed. We shall not forget one of our own.

~~~~~~ ❤️‍🩹

Something happens when someone leaves suddenly. People pretend to move on but no one sees them clinging to the pieces left behind by that precious person. Looking over the old pictures over and over. Crying and laughing while reading through every old message. They catch themselves thinking “oh I can’t wait to tell so and so this!”

They question themselves if they did anything wrong or was there something they could have done that they didn’t. Could they have noticed it, could they have made them stay?

That’s where Johanna found herself, broken and tear stained.

She’d gone for a visit. It had been a month since she’d seen Calypso and she wanted to check in and surprise her. She could imagine how her dear friend's eyes would dance and how she’d shriek with so much enthusiasm. Perhaps she would have convinced Jo to watch a horror movie and they would have screamed and laughed together.

But what she found when she knocked on her door was silence. The house was completely empty and devoid of the life Calypso usually had. There were no flowers in the windows, no music playing. Not a sign of her precious camera or scrapbooks, or a drawing utensil in sight. Not even a note.

She went to Carollota first, one of Cal’s many girlfriends, and she even didn’t know. They checked all her old haunts, everywhere she would have gone. But there was no sign of her. The girls sat together in sadness on the porch and talked about life, the things they might have shared with Calypso.

Auri was the next one to have Johanna haunt her doorstep. She answered the door cursing only to pause when she saw her grave face. Auri didn’t have many friends but Calypso had won her over. So she let Jo in and offered her a drink. Why was it everyone she ever loved left? Johanna wondered too.

They drank until they fell asleep.

Auri had just seen Cal hours ago.

Avania was next. Johanna held the taller girl as she wept. What more was there to say? No one knew what to do.

One by one Jo told everyone and one by one they eventually accepted it. However they couldn’t go on without remembering her, not with everything she did and how bright she shone. They gathered together on the first day of May, her birthday.

The location was a flower filled meadow overlooking the ocean, which were two of Calypso’s favorite places to go.

And how fitting that it was snowing, Calypso loved the cold.

Sally and Clora set up a little tea party and the girls all sat around pleasantly visiting and sharing their favorite moments with the white haired, green eyed, sunshine like Calyspo.

Siobhan spoke on how she loved to rest among her wild curls and play ratatouille. Lorrain recalled the days spent taking photos and collecting flowers for Cal's scrapbook. Inger and Lyssa choked back tears as they laughed with Jo about the time she turned Sebastian into a chicken and made flower crowns. Millie, Eloise, Violette, Lamie, Aura, Lyla and Clora about how she wanted to steal them from Sebastian. Evelynne and Johanna chimed in that it was the same with Ominis, Gwyn and Inger said the same about Garreth.

“Practically everyone from everyone,” commented Amara.

Many tears, laughter and memories were shared by the time evening came. A line of Sebastian’s plus the other partners waited for them to finish up and come home. Yet they weren’t done yet. With heartfelt words of love they left something special. A hair clip, a stuffed animal, flowers, a line of polaroids, and a scrapbook full of unfinished drawings, and stories. A shrine to Calypso, a shrine of their love for her.

They hugged goodbye and parted ways, promising they would all stay in touch. They knew friendship was eternal. No matter what, Calypso would still be their friend until time ended. Even if there were no more tea parties, no more sabotaged dates, no more frolicking in meadows, or ice skating in the snow.

Soon it was just Jo left, shivering in the cold wind blowing up from the ocean to toss her chocolate waves around her face. She didn’t know if the salt she tasted came from that or from what her tears left behind.

Ominis wordlessly wrapped a coat around her and took her hand, leading her towards a lonely floo flame, back to their warm home. Her ever steady rock.

He let her pause by the shrine, and she pulled a tube of red lipstick from her pocket, placing it amid the pile of treasures. “In case you feel like crashing my wedding someday. Goodbye for now.”

Yes people move on, but the heart never really does. The memories blowing around like pictures in the breeze. And with someone as good a friend as Calypso, the wind never stops.

The end….

my god i have been away for so long but i am back!! i have had this biker gwyn idea in my head for a while now and i finally drew it ㅜㅜ i miss you all so much

bonus: blud thinks he’s the only competition

[silvyadrakkon]

@dwightschrute11, I have the feeling that Cal would be the (moderately aggressive) disney princess of the trio. All the animals would like her—at least partially because she’d bribe them with a lot of food haha.

@ethniee, I’ve always wanted to be able to draw cats, and Reggie is very good motivation. He too cute.

[bassicallymaestra]

Calypso for @dwightschrute11 💖

Also her hair was so much fun to draw 😍

[thursdaymoonrise11]

MERRY CHRISTMAS GIRL!! We haven’t interacted much but ohhhh my god your art is so. Frickin. GORGEOUS. And Phoebe is the cutest ever, sending her a big fat kiss because omfg. Love you!!

Odds in our favour (HG au)

Pairing: Calypso Salutations (@dwightschrute11) x Avania Chase

Warnings: Cursing, lesbianism.

Summary: Avania, the aloof girk from district 4 and Calypso, sunshine of 11, are thrust into the hunger games. Avania’s set on winning, there’s nothing to get back to, sure, but she doesn’t want to die by somebody else. She wants death to be her own choice. But then she meets Cal, a bright eyed girl who stirs feelings and makes her wonder if she wants to get back home knowing it will cause the other girls death.

She’d had to ask her mentor if there was some kind of mind control plant in 11. There had to be. And that Salutations girl must have put it in when she left her coffee unattended. Damned girl. She had to have done something, or else she wouldn’t be feeling like this.

Like every other tribute, she rewatched the reaping to size up the competition. Her initial reaction to the girl from 11 was…indifference. Maybe a bit of pity knowing she wouldn’t survive, just based on her sunny demeanour.

But now? With the blue eyed girl throwing the occasional glance at her as they prepared for the tribute parade? It made her stomach twist uncomfortably and it pissed her off. She scowled at the girl, hoping to scare her off. But her frown deepened when that stupid cocky git Sallow from District 7 started chatting her up. She’d watched his reaping, he’d volunteered for his sister, a sickly girl called Anne.

Bu whatever, she shouldn’t dwell on how stupidly adorable the girl looked. She’d end up on the end of her spear by next week so there was no point getting attached.

what’d Sebastian do if calypso sent / gave aura a large abundance of flowers 🤭🌹

🦋 Jealous!Sebastian? Say less, my friend.

A short AU Sebaura drabble feat ✨💍 most precious Ravenclaw wifey Calypso Salutations @dwightschrute11 [650 words]

'I don't like it,' Sebastian grumbled, casting a death glare at the extravagant bouquet of flowers in his girlfriend's arms.

The offending floral arrangement was so huge that Aurélie could barely see over the top of it as they made their exit from the Great Hall; Sebastian could just make out her auburn hair through the over-abundance of blue petals and cream blossoms — but not much else.

Ordinarily, he would've offered to carry the heavy burden for her, but since the flowers hadn't come from him, he'd forgone chivalry to sulk instead. Besides, she seemed delighted by them, despite how unsightly and excessive they were, and Sebastian was loath to take away anything that made her happy — even if it did come in the form of lavish gifts that made him spiral into a pit of jealousy-induced despair.

'I know you don't like it,' came Aurélie's breathless voice from somewhere behind a head-sized peony. 'You've told me about a thousand times already. But I think maybe you're just a little bit jealous, no?'

'Of Calypso?' he scoffed, steadying his florally-impaired girlfriend by the elbow as they descended the stairs to the Entrance Hall. 'Why would I be jealous of Calypso? Just because she gave my girlfriend a big, garish over-the-top bouquet of flowers!'

'They're not garish, they're pretty.'

'They're inappropriate!'

Aurélie stifled an infuriatingly cute giggle that made Sebastian want to kiss her and hurl himself down the stairs at the same time.

'Sebastian, relax,' she said, peeking at him through a gap in the foliage, her vivid blue eyes made brighter by the veritable explosion of hydrangeas that framed them. 'Calypso is my friend —'

'— Calypso is a pain in my —'

' — and friends do nice things for eachother. That's all it is.'

'Oh, yes.' Sebastian rolled his eyes, entirely unconvinced. 'I often gift Ominis expensive bouquets of flowers that perfectly match his eye colour, too.'

'Do you?'

'No!'

'Well, maybe he'd be less snarky all the time if you did,' she suggested mildly.

'Aura!' he spluttered, coming to an abrupt halt at the foot of the stairs. 'I'm not going to give Ominis flowers! And besides, flowers are a terrible gift — you know they're only going to die, don't you? No token of my love will ever wilt away, let me tell you. Need I remind you of the eternally burning flames I conjured for you to keep your hands warm?' He threw his arms wide, his frustration rapidly flaring into what promised to be a good, long rant. 'I'm surprised she didn't gift you big bloody box of chocolates as well, because I bet you ten galleons she doesn't know you don't eat sweets. But you know who does know that? You know who'd never gift you something you don't like? Or something so impermanent and, quite frankly, as cliche and predictable as flowers?'

'Who?' she asked, feigning ignorance.

'Me!' he burst out, startling a pair of nearby second years so badly they yelped and scurried away.

It took a familiar melody of very French-sounding giggles for Sebastian to realise he was being made fun of. With a reluctant chuckle, he let his shoulders relax as the sound of her laughter placated the green-eyed monster in his head.

'I'm being too much again, aren't I?' he conceded with a crooked grin.

'A bit,' she smiled, shifting the bouquet to her hip and extracting a small, blue flower from it depths. 'But you know, half the reason why Calypso keeps giving me gifts is because she thinks your reactions are hilarious.'

Sebastian raised a deeply skeptical brow but held still while she reached up to tuck the flower behind his ear. 'Half the reason? What's the other half, then?'

A wide, mischievous grin split across Aurélie's face as she stepped back to admire his new florate adornment.

'Oh, because she's in love with me, obviously.'

A Kiss for Calypso

For @dwightschrute11

~~

It had been months since the Yule Ball. Only like two but it had seemed like ages to Calypso who still thought often about that almost kiss with Johanna.

The rest of the night had gone lovely and Alejandro had eventually showed up after he realized how unfair that was to Johanna. He was a good guy and all the girls agreed they overreacted when he went over the top to make it up.

He brought flowers for all his lady friends and although he came to dance with Jo he made sure Val was slipped a romantic poem that made her blush. Gentlemanly Alejandro then danced with Jo.

Calypso and Ominis both had been infuriated by this but what could they do? Johanna and Ale were close friends, bonded by their experiences in an alternate universe, both being single for a while. They also annoyingly shared similar interests.

Anyway since the Yule Ball Calypso hadn’t seen Johanna. They’d exchanged a few owls but life seemed to want to keep them a part from each other. Calypso had to go away for a while and Johanna had gotten sick the last time they had planned to meet.

With Valentines coming up and everyone planning things for the ones they loved Calypso couldn’t help but feel very sad and lonely. Here she was without the one person she really wanted. It didn’t matter if Johanna didn’t feel the same, Calypso was okay loving her anyway. She just needed her by her side.

She sat alone by the lake flipping through her scrapbook of memories with all her favorite people. Her fingers lingered on the edge of a photo of her and Johanna, they were both smiling and Jo’s face was covered with her lipstick. A tear fell onto it.

Another page held them leaning against each other at a picnic, them in their dresses, them with Alyssa and Sebastian the chicken. And the sleepover pics. It was if the universe was laughing at her sadness when a breeze blew the smell of lilacs, the scent of Jo, right under her nose.

A train whistled in the distance reminding her of all the miles in between them. She wondered if Jo thought of her, if she thought about that kiss too. She thought of her nose freckles, those brown eyes. And Calypso let herself cry, staring at the sky.

But those tears weren’t long lasted when a squeal of her name made her spin around to see those bright eyes shining as the brunette girl she’d been dreaming of charged down the beach toward her. “Calypso my love! Happy Valentine’s Day! Or galentine’s I don’t care! I finally made it!”

Calypso shrieked with joy and spun her around, smooching her cheeks, making the girl giggle and blush. “Jo! You’re here! I missed you so much! ILY!”

She set her down and brushed some of her hair out of her eyes. Johanna paused a moment staring into Calypso’s green eyes and time stood still a moment.

Johanna finally stepped back, breaking the moment with a nervous laugh. “Yeah I’m here. It’s been forever hasn’t it? I’ve missed talking to you. I was finally able to pull away from school to come. But you know what the best thing is?” She asked excitedly. Calypso grinned and shook her head.

“No I don’t. What is it Johanna? What’s the news?”

Johanna spun in a circle, arms outstretched as she sang, “I get to stay the next few months!”

Calypso caught her hands as she came around and pulled her close, hands intertwined held between them. Her freckles seemed to pop against her glowing face. “Really? You’re serious? Really serious?” She leaned so close their noses touched.

Johanna laughed and rubbed her nose playfully against hers. “Yes I’m serious Cal! I’ll be free to be here with you and to visit all my other friends. And spend more time with Ominis! He’ll be so happy to see you!”

Calypso’s heart couldn’t help but fall at the mention of Ominis. Yes she was glad Jo was happy, she was the happiest when she was with him. Jo was happily straight with Ominis and her au bf Silas. Sure she openly admitted her friends were hot and would joke about kissing them but sometimes Cal wished it was real. Wished like she did on that star at the ball.

But those thoughts faded from her mind when her day was filled with joy that came in Jo’s form. The pair leaned up against each other and flipped through her scrapbook laughing about SeBAWKtian. Her need for kisses was soothed from Jo tickling her and smooching her cheek whenever Calypso playful chewed on hers. Making Jo laugh and shriek as she avoided her advances and splashing in the ocean after they had flown there for a picnic.

It was a valentines that would remain special to her. As the sun set and the pair drank some juice at the small bar near the seashore Calypso handed her the gift she had set aside a month ago. It was a beautiful drawing of the pair in a flowered frame. Johanna gasped and her eyes filled with tears.

“Aww Cal you shouldn’t have! This is so thoughtful! I didn’t get to get you anything, and chocolate seems so lame compared to this. You’re truly the sweetest”

Calypso laughed and waved it off blushing. “It was nothing and besides, your presence is the best gift I got today. I know I joke a lot about stealing you from Ominis but I truly just value you and your friendship.” She froze when Jo took her hand.

“Calypso…” Johanna’s face had turned serious. “I need you to promise me something. Okay?”

“Yes of course anything! What’s wrong Jo?”

Johanna sucked in a deep breath before continuing. “I’m giving you a gift. Just once, and then we never talk about it again. To thank you for being wonderful and because it’s the only thing that could equal it.”

Calypso nodded. “Okay…just once I promise. But what am I promising to? To do something or-“

“I’m saying you can kiss me!” Johanna blurted.

“Wait-what?!” Calypso was gob-smacked. Never in her wildest- well never in her normal dreams would she ever expect to hear those words out of her dear friend’s mouth. The mouth she’d wanted to kiss.

“Yes!” Johanna spluttered red-faced. “Now shut up and do it before I change my mind or-“

Calypso didn’t waste another minute, grabbing her friend’s face between both hands and smooching her hard. Calypso had always dreamed of doing it gently, softly and exploratory. But this was desperate and stolen from a moment in time that she would make the best of. It was a kiss that made Johanna stupidly grin against her lips when it ended, flushed and lips swollen and dark pink.

“I…uhhh well….happy Valentine’s Day Calypso?”

Calypso was breathless too, and couldn’t stop staring at the breathtaking mess she’d made of Jo. Her mind was spinning and she felt like flying away. She felt like she could touch the clouds. Cal wanted to kiss her again and again but she’d promised and she didn’t want to ruin it. So instead she breathed against her lips “Happy Valentine’s Day Johanna,” and pulled away reluctantly.

The girls stared at each other a few minutes until Imelda’s wolf whistle threw them into a fit of awkward and relieved laughter, easing the tension.

They took a sip of their juices and looked back out at the ocean a moment before Calypso spoke.

“That was certainly unexpected but enjoyable.”

Johanna laughed softly and was about to reply when Ominis’s voice cut them off, as he approached with a beautiful bouquet of roses for his girlfriend.

“What was unexpected? Did I miss something?”

Johanna turned to him in surprise and began to say something about nothing at all but Calypso couldn’t resist and with a smirk grabbed Jo, kissing her again. Johanna blushed and Calypso tossed her white blonde curls when she pulled away.

“Oh just me making out with your girlfriend is all.”

“What?!” Ominis shouted.

- the end loll

- Calypso is so cooked 😆

Calypso from @dwightschrute11

—————————————————

i hope you like it as much as i loved your drawing of Gwyn! i think i enjoyed drawing Calypso a little too much!! ♡ pretty pretty hair too

[silvyadrakkon]

@dwightschrute11 , I don’t know if I have an explanation for this. I can’t sleep and my brain wouldn’t let me do other things until this was out.

All I can say is if Cal and Lyssa were in the same universe, Cal would (inadvertently) give Seb and Ominis a run for their money in the competition for Lyssa’s affection hahaha.

I should clarify: this is NOT the dumb comic to which I was referring in my poll lol.

[starry-slithers]

Hi,

It’s me again! I hope you’ve had a lovely day! 💕

How did Avania and Calypso meet? What tropes would best describe their relationship?

I get the impression that Avania is very protective of Calypso🥰—is she like that with all her loved ones?

See you soon! ✨️

🎅

stooop this is freaking adorable. @dwightschrute11 help me in the comments if this is wrong.

we have 2 CalVi universes. Modern au and hunger games au. In hunger games au they meet after Avi- district 4- and Cal-district 11- are reaped for the games, form an ally ship and basically become lesbian EverLark. In modern, they meet at school through mutual friend Johanna (@ravenwind-75) and start spending more time together.

they’re sunshine x grumpy, friends to lovers.

And yes, Avania is protective of all her loved ones, she’s a natural carer

I love you so much anon I hope you have a lovely day. I have a sneaking suspicion of who u areeeee 🤭

[bones4thecats]

Hii!! Can you make a small fic of Hermes (BOZ) x GN reader where they’re just cuddling and kissing after hermes is done with his work (and possibly getting a little handsy if you’re comfortable with that)

↳ Your Warmth Is My Warmth.

A Blood of Zeus × Gender-Neutral! Reader.

Requester: Anonymous.

Character Included: Hermes.

●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●～●

🪶 Hermes worked a lot. Almost 24/7 your husband was off, running around the Earth grabbing souls and offering some mortals the occasional helping hand. In fact, he had done that right before he came home. 🪶 He had just helped the human king Odysseus escape from the goddess Calypso's island. You asked him why he would help a mortal, and he just answered with, "I believe he's just been dealt a bad hand in life. No sense in letting an innocent guy suffer that badly. Especially with that love-crazed she-devil."

🪶 You smiled and kissed him, telling him you were thankful to have such a wonderful husband by your side. To which he remembered any time he was out for too long. He wished to return to your side, to prove he was that wonderful husband you claimed him to be. 🪶 But... work does have to come first for him. Without his help, the souls of mortals would be stuck, and you and he could be in a sticky situation with both his Uncle Hades and father, Zeus. 🪶 "Hermes." Hades spoke, looking at his nephew with a natural, neutral expression. "Yes, Uncle?" He responded, staring into the bearded God of the Underworld. 🪶 "You are free from your duties today. No more mortals are set to pass on. Go ahead and head on home, back to your spouse and two sons." 🪶 "Understood. Thank you, Uncle Hades." 🪶 Hades nodded and stood, hearing his own wife and children approaching the room they were in. Hermes walked just past the three, giving Zagreus and Melinoe a high five and a slight bow to his paternal half-sister / aunt. 🪶 "Bye-bye, cousin!" The two children said, waving and giggling as Hermes saluted them, put his helmet on, a dashed off. 🪶 I hope they're not asleep.

"And then he stood. Blood dripped from his head as his feet stumbled around, unable to stay still. He grabbed his bow, readied his arrow, aimed it at the head of the beast. And he fired.

"Blasting through the bone from the strength, the hero stood victorious..."

"My love~" A soft voice said from behind your ear. Your eyes widened, looking behind you as Hestia's voice faded slightly. Then you sighed, cupping the cheek of the God behind you.

"Good evening, dear. How was your day?" You said, nuzzling into your husband's chest as he wrapped his arms around you.

"It was alright. Not the best, but certainly not the worst."

Smiling, you knew what he wanted. He wanted as much physical affection as he could get. Moving your head away from his bare chest, your neck was laid for his eyes to gaze upon.

Tilting downwards, his mouth latched onto the sensitive skin. You held in the sounds of pleasure you wished to release, but didn't in order to allow your two adoptive sons to continue listening to their aunt Hestia's story.

"Hermes... the boys are right there." You said, smiling to feign innocence and get out of the situation to go somewhere more... appropriate for this kind of activity.

The Messenger hummed, kissing your neck before looking up to speak to his sons. "Basil. Alexander. Would you like to spend the night with your Aunt Hestia tonight? If that's alright with her, that is."

"Please, Aunt Hestia?" The two begged, giving their aunt their best puppy-dog eyes. They certainly are Hermes' boys... at least they were certainly raised by him. The older goddess thought, giving a happily sigh and agreeing, saying they could join her for the night.

"Well, we must get home. I am quite tuckered out from the long day. Goodnight, my sons." Hermes spoke, patting his boy's heads and waving to his Aunt. He then grabbed your hand and allowed you to say your own goodbyes.

Lifting you in his arms, specifically in a bridal carry, he sped off to your estate.

Walking inside to your chambers, he laid you down on the large bed. His lips captured your neck, sucking on the spot he held onto earlier.

"Now then...

"Shall we continue our... game?"

Hello! First, I wanted to say that you are my favorite Nick writer! And I wanted to know if you could do a Nick x Baker!reader where the reader teaches Nick how to bake! 🤍🫶

Sweet tooth.

Summary: baker reader and Nick have a baking date.

Disclaimer: I don’t know hot to bake lmao, so I’m making thing up. Apologies to the people who do know how to bake): pls don’t murder me.

“Do we really need that much sugar?” Nick asks concerned looking at the bowl in front of us.

“Yes Nick. Have you never baked a cake?”

“I mean… not really, wow that’s a lot.” He says. “And salt… why salt?”

“Nick…”

“Okay, okay. I’ll stop, I was just curious.” He says grabbing the rest of the already measured dry ingredients and putting them in the bowl.

“It’s okay, baking can be… interesting, might be a word to describe it.”

“I don’t care. As long as you keep doing those chocolate cookies. God, I’m hungry now.” He hugs me and kisses my cheek.

“Wait.” I laugh a bit. “I’m mixing the ingredients.”

“You can mix and pay attention to me at the same time.” Nick places another kiss on my cheek.

“We are working here. Go get the eggs and the milk.” I give him a little kiss on his lips and he smiles widely.

“Yes chef!” Nick does a silly army salute and goes search for the things I asked for. When he told me he would love to bake with me I knew it was going to be funny.

---

“Keep mixing it.” I say while checking the temperature of the oven.

“How did you know I wasn’t mixing?” He gasps.

“I couldn’t hear the spoon hitting the bowl.” I turn around and look at him pouting. “Are you tired?” I chuckle as he nods. “Give it too me.” I grab the bowl and the silicone spoon and star mixing it.

“I don’t get it. It’s hard, the batter gets all heavy and hard to stir.” I complain. “But it tastes nice.”

“Did you eat it?” my eyes open widely and he nods.

“I mean, not to brag but we made a great job.”

“Nick, we still have to cook it.” I say.

“I know, and?”

“You ate raw eggs…”

“Ah, don’t worry, it’s the same as cookie dough. I have eaten it so much that my tummy is immune to any disease.”

I laugh as he pats his tummy proudly. “That’s not how that works but okay.”

---

“How long did you say we have to wait?” The cake was sitting in the oven, Nick and I were sitting on the couch.

“About 35 or 40 minutes. Not to long.” I kiss his cheek; his arm is wrapped around me and a random episode of Ru Paul is playing on the TV.

“I can’t wait to decorate it. I bought so many things to make it all pretty and yummy.” He says and starts to list all the things he bought.

“We should make donuts someday.” I suggest.

“YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT?!... oh my god I’m gonna marry you.” He kisses my cheek once more.

“I will keep you by my side with all the sweets I make.”

“God, I have the biggest sweet tooth. You have me at your mercy chef.” I laugh and kiss his lips; he still tastes slightly like chocolate batter.
