"Early Bird Special"

I guess they had second thoughts on tying the Puerto Rican characters to this cross, or maybe to them wearing it. Not the first time I noted its deletion. Maybe they weighed the blasphemy equation. Funny thing too-- note the white shirt in the first panel. He has it on in the first page, but it disappears after that. Removed in the reprintings instead of adding it in thereafter.

masterlist | rules

pairings percy jackson, jason grace, leo valdez, frank zhang & travis stoll x reader

warnings none!

on the radio the cheesiest love song you could think of

an wanted to post something this is what i came up with

percy ⊹ she fell first, he fell harder

in camp half blood, having a crush on percy jackson is seen as both a blessing and a curse. a blessing because he’s the perfect guy - he’s cute, respectful, charming, funny, and so much more! however, he is also a gold rush. everyone likes percy, how could you possibly get a chance with him? it’d be better for you to move on and find someone less popular in the love department. despite all the warnings you receive, you can’t stop liking him and, well, it seems aphrodite commends your commitment towards the son of poseidon! for all of a sudden, all he can think about is the way your eyes shine in the sun and how your laugh rivals any song on the radio. it doesn’t hit percy how much he likes you until he’s replaying a brief interaction he had with you from three weeks ago instead of sleeping. as the realisation slowly sinks in, percy smiles. not only did he fall, but he fell hard

jason ⊹ everyone can see it but you two

everyone who knows you and jason knows that the two of you come as a package deal - wherever you go, jason follows and vice versa. you would go to tartarus and back to ensure jason’s happiness, and he would do the same for you! classic best friend behaviour, right? it’s totally normal to cuddle your best friends to sleep, right? you’re allowed to look at jason’s biceps as he trains in a friendly way, right? you just admire his strength, nothing more, nothing less! he stares at your parted lips as you suck air into your lungs after a particularly hard day of training, but that’s just because you’re his best friend and he thinks you’re gorgeous in a friendly way! your other friends are all just overthinking it, you and jason definitely have a typical best friend relationship with strictly platonic feelings… right?

leo ⊹ brother’s best friend

the one rule your brother drilled into you your whole life was that while you could date whoever you wanted, his friends were strictly off limits. you’d abided with no issues whatsoever, all of his friends weren’t your type anyway, and it’d be so awkward dating someone who already has a lot of history with your brother (especially if you break up later on)! if all of that is true, why’s your heart desperately yearning for a certain mechanic by the name of leo valdez? and why does it feel like he yearns for you, too? the universe seems to have laid out the perfect romance, so naturally, you seize the opportunity and express your gratitude. all you have to do is explain the situation to your brother, who would be furious… oh well, you might as well hide your relationship while you think about how to tell him - it’s not like he notices the sneaky touches leo gives you when he’s ‘not looking’

frank ⊹ childhood friends to strangers to lovers

when frank had disappeared all those years ago, you were devastated. how could your sweet frankie, the boy who lived right next door, the boy who’d play house with you and kiss the bruises on your knees in hopes they’d heal quicker, leave you without saying a word? no matter how much time passed, you couldn’t stop thinking about him. time did not heal the wound frank left right in the middle of your heart. it wasn’t until you discovered you’re a demigod and were taken to some place called camp half blood that you’d run into frank once more. now, he was known as praetor frank zhang: son of mars, legacy of poseidon. despite all the fancy titles and duties, your frankie didn’t change, and as the two of you grew closer and closer, you couldn’t help but feel something more than platonic love for the boy next door

travis ⊹ fake dating

you wanted to make your ex jealous, travis wanted to get his crush to finally realize she likes him. what better way to achieve both goals than by fake dating each other? the two of you already got along pretty well as friends, so pretending to date each other wouldn’t be questionable or hard! all you had to do was be a little more touchy than you already are for a month or two, then, once your ex wants you back and he gets the girl of his dreams, you ‘break up’ and move on. however, you can’t help but feel jealousy yourself whenever travis talks about this girl - what’s so special about her anyway? what does she have that you don’t? similarly, travis always gets annoyed whenever your ex is brought up, you should be with someone much better! (someone like him, maybe?) when the two of you finally get exactly what you wished for, you can’t help but feel a little reluctant to break up, even though your relationship was never real to begin with

[nohuelii]

Strawhats as demigods (PJO ver.)

Jinbe: he would totally be roman cause he's more organised and calm. at first i thought he would be an amazing child of Poseidon, but then i realised that he's a fighter but also he's morally correct, so i think he would be a child of Bellona. yes, he's calm like Poseidon, so i think he would have his blessing just like Frank Zhang. In the end, Jinbe would be a child of Bellona, legion 1.

Brook: due to his connection to music i think it is really obvious which god would be his parent, still i kinda want to elaborate a little. he loooves music, he even fights with some instruments! he uses music as a weapon just like Apollo/Lester, but also he lives for the music. So, it's easy to say that Brook is a child of Apollo, cabin 7.

Franky: this one is easy due to Frank's ability to create, he's a carpenter, an engineer, a mechanic... he creates amazing things and it takes him little to no time. he's into technology (this even leads him to modifying his own body) and he repairs things. he even breathes fire! and if you tell me that's not a Hephaestus' child thing, you're wrong. So Franky is a child of Hephaestus, cabin 9.

Chopper: he's a ray of sunshine, of course, and his main ability/function is not fighting even when he's really good at it; he's a healer, someone who worries too much about everyone else's well being because he's a doctor. and even when he's good at one on one fights and does not rely on long distance weapons like bow and arrows as many kids of Apollo, he's got other traits that relate to him. and that's why i think Chopper would be a child of Apollo, cabin 7.

Robin: i wasn't sure if i should let her epithet influence my decision but i'm weak and so i let myself love "the devil child". i was thinking that because she's an archaeologist she must be Athena's kid, but... do you know who else would be super interested in the past and finding skeletons and wouldn't be scared of spiders (like Black Maria)? that's right, a child of Hades. she's gloomy, has a dark humor and is always saying macabre things, but she also has the trauma just as Nico and Hazel; she's surrounded by darkness and death, but she chooses to live thanks to friendship, and she even accepts her most terrifying and demonic look for the sake of those who she loves the most. So, Robin would be a daughter of Hades, cabin 13.

Usopp: look, he reminds me a lot of Leo Valdez not only for his silly personality, but because of his interest in crafts and creating various gadgets. Hephaestus' kids are not always the best fighters, so they compensate with creating things they could use in fights and they usually are very clever at doing so, and Usopp is just that type of guy. also, he likes to create things to help his friends just like Franky. That makes Usopp a child of Hephaestus, cabin 9.

Sanji: this one's a little tricky cause he has a lot of traits that makes him a child of Aphrodite (he's french according to Oda, a lover boy and chef, and that screams Aphrodite), but i choose to focus on other things. he hates his biological father, whose a king, and he can skywalk... do you remember who also does both of those things? right! Jason Grace. he's caring, he's blonde, he's kind, he's really tidy so he must be roman. yes, he lights his foot on blue fire, but my main proof is that he didn't die when Enel shot him with a lightning bolt. that's what makes Sanji a child of Jupiter, legion 5.

Nami: i was also debating on this one cause i feel three gods would be a perfect fit for her, but i will explain my choice. even if she's really beautiful like a child of Aphrodite, i think that's not the main point to her character; same goes to her being a child of Zeus, cause even when she can control the weather, it is due to the weapon she uses. so, the other characteristics we have about her is that she's not only clever but cunning, she's good at improvising when in need and she always achieves what she wants cause she's a really clever liar; and, of course, she's a great thief and a pretty good negotiator. All those things make Nami a daughter of Hermes, cabin 11.

Zoro: he's not only obsessed with being strong just for the sake of it, but because he feels like strength will give him control over things he doesn't have control such as "destiny". he uses his strength to protect those who he loves (that's what i mean by saying to have control over things: to protect and avoid having to experience the loss of someone important to him again). he's aggressive, yes, but he's also caring in his weird cold way, and if that's not screaming Clarisse La Rue, i don't know what it is. also, even if he's a mess and has a tendency to get lost, i think he's really devoted to being a swordsman and so he's really disciplined, and that makes Zoro a child of Mars, legion 5 (cause he's part of the worst generation).

Luffy: okay, yes... he technically is the sun god, but lemme tell you that i think it would be kinda like a blessing, not from Apollo, but from Zeus. Luffy's kind, but he also has a sense of justice and freedom, and he has saved a lot of people because of that sense of right and wrong even when he's not a hero because he also does questionable things and i think he would be a child of Nemesis, cause of course she would've loved a revolutionary like Dragon. so i think that after all that happened in Onigashima, Luffy would have won the Olympians favor and so Zeus' blessing, and that's how i would justify him being a minor god of the sun and king of pirates. and so, Luffy is a child of Nemesis, cabin 16.

Bonus:

Law: i kinda want to say that he's a child of Apollo cause it would be so funny, but no... he's gloomy, scary, has a dark humor, is surrounded by death (his epithet is "the surgeon of death"!) and has a tragic backstory, that's why Law is a child of Hades, cabin 13.

Vivi: she has a really great sense of good and bad, she's caring and has a strong sense of justice. she's great with animals and uses short-range and long-range weapons. she's also a fighter, and is linked with social movements, so i think Vivi would be a daughter of Nemesis, cabin 16, but also an Artemis hunter.

Ace: just because he hates his biological father and is technically the prince of pirates, he's strong, has this complex self-esteem and even has the physical characteristics that Thalia is described with, i think Ace would fit as a child of Zeus, cabin 1, and of course he would hate him.

Sabo: his father is a king and he fucking hates him, he's a revolutionary and gives steam punk Thalia Grace vives. he would be roman because he's blonde (like Jason) and he's part of an army. Sabo would totally be a child of Jupiter, legion 1, and he would hate him a lot just like everyone else.

Random info I can think of rn

Geo, Auster, and Josie all came from the same Circus in the new world, leaving it in order to set out to sea to become pirates. None of them are after the One piece so they crosses over into paradise since that sea was easier to handle.

All the crew members wear some kind of Jewelry and have black sleeve tattoos.

When I made the characters and their dynamics I kinda wanted to either give them opposite traits of the Strawhats or similarities.

[gayelderstourney]

OLD WOMAN YURI BRACKET ROUND 1

Propaganda:

Hemithea/Josephine:

They were hunters of artemis but retired and gave up immortality to be together. Now they run a safe haven called the Waystation with their daughter

Old ladies who gave up their immortality to be together. Emmie’s an ancient greek princess and Jo’s a gangster from the 1920s. They met in the Hunters of Artemis, fell in love and left so they could be together (the hunters have a no romo rule). They have an adopted daughter called Georgie whose tortured by visions. They also kinda adopt Leo Valdez and Calypso later on. Anyway old woman yuri ftw

Grace Hanson/Frankie Bergstein:

Close friends for decades their husbands were partners at the same law firm and their families were very close. Then one day after their husbands retired they were told that their husbands were actually gay and had been secretly dating for decades. In the ensuing breakups grace and Frankie moved in together to support eachother as the only other person who could understand what they were going through. Very opposites attract they have very different outlooks and attitudes but they care for eachother a lot and fight for eachother in everything. They even go into business together

those old ladies FUCK

Dude ur gonna tell me they don't love eachother?? They're in love.

After running as far as you can as fast as you can - which isn’t as much as you’d like it to be, running in the middle of a blizzard is hard even for you - you finally stop to catch your breath. You’re only a block or two away, but it feels like much further than that. You try to catch your breath, but you can’t even focus on the cold air biting into your lungs and freezing the tip of your nose. You can’t focus on much of anything,except the itchy, burning, ripping sensation that’s now spread to the whole of your upper back. You can’t even focus on the panic that had been racing through your mind. You would crouch on the ground if it wasn’t already covered in several inches of icy snow. You pace around a little, and eventually you feel it start to subside. Under the thick, white blanket covering the ground, you can’t exactly see where you’re stepping. Your foot half catches on a curb you didn’t know was there, and slides against the slick ground. 

Right as you start to yell, right as you throw out your hands to catch yourself on the cold, jagged ground, you feel the bones in your back pop. A whooshing noise graces your ears, scattering the path of the snowflakes falling around you, and you find your descent slowed. You land in a crouch, catching yourself gently instead of full on face planting like you expected to. You try to stand up, but you’re met with resistance. You push harder, fighting with more strength than you usually have to in order to stand up. You move much slower than usual. Once you’re finally standing up, you notice spaces in the air on either side of you that are completely void of snowflakes. Something is blocking them. You take in a breath, turning your head to see behind you. 

You barely have to turn your head at all before you see feathers. Thick white feathers mottled with pink and red tips and undertones extend a few feet on either side of you. Smaller downy feathers blow away from you in the wind, scattering as you stand there, breathless and stupefied. You let out a loud, sudden laugh of disbelief. You have wings sprouting from your back. Everything that happened before now is so far from your stream of consciousness. You’re sure if you were able to remember that something had been wrong in the first place, or that you were supposed to be keeping up the whole don’t fuck with me goth girl persona, you would be grateful for the distraction. But you’re not, and all of that drops away, scattering from your mind like the last of the downy baby feathers molting from your back. It keeps repeating in your quieted mind over and over. You have wings.

Can you fly with them? Can you even use them? You try to flex your back muscles experimentally, and they flap toward you, air swirling around you. The sudden movement almost makes you fall over again, and you stumble to catch yourself. 

“Okay, okay,” you say to yourself, barely audible over the wind. “A little less of… that.” 

You flex your back again, more gently this time, and air rushes around you as you beat your wings forward once without falling over. You let out a laugh, not only shocked that this is real, but that you’re actually getting the hang of it. After a few moments of fidgeting, you figure out which way to move your shoulders to get them to flap back away from you. You let out another shocked laugh. You almost fell over from the force again. But that’s not going to stop you. Not a chance. You try pairing the two movements, and beat your wings back and forth in succession. You start to sway, and let out an excited scream when you feel the force lift you up off the ground a little.

You try to catch your breath, steady yourself, then try it again. This time, you beat your wings twice before they catch on the wind. You rise almost a foot off the ground before coasting back down. You can fly. Sort of. You can coast, which is definitely something. You’re sure anything is impressive since most people don’t have giant cupid wings sprouting out of their back. You try it a few more times, beating your wings to rise off the ground, and gliding back down. You bounce around like that in the snow, leaving more and more erratic footprints behind you. You beat your wings an extra time, going up the highest you’ve been so far. Your giddy excitement is short lived, however, as you see two figures in the distance, one of which suddenly becomes engulfed in flames. Your stomach drops. 

It’s Leo. It has to be. 

“Shit…” Any residual apprehension about flying and controlling your newfound wings dissipates, all your focus shifting to Leo. Your instincts take over, and you flap up higher so you can find him. 

Leo watches her closely as she laughs maniacally, and the snow around her moves, growing and lurching until it forms icy monsters on every side of both of them. They growl menacingly, and he steels himself, reminding himself that his fire should be enough to hold them back, and ideally, enough to kick their asses. Khione extends her hand and more monsters appear behind him, but to Leo’s surprise, they retreat quickly towards the house. They attack the doors and windows, sealing the exits with ice as snow swirls down even harder than before. Leo slices fire at the monsters, enough to fend them off. 

He thinks back, trying to remember where he left his phone… on his bed. Plugged in and charging. All the pride he’s felt since figuring out all it took to make phones safe for demigods is a simple combination of jailbreaking and adding in a thin celestial bronze coating to a few pieces of hardware fades away. His phone won’t do jack shit if it’s inside the house. He doesn’t even have any drachmas, and he wouldn’t be able to make a call with one anyway, not when there’s this much snow everywhere. There’s so much diffused light bouncing around, there’s no way Nico could even shadow travel out here. He really doesn’t have a chance.  

He kicks and hits, blasting fire at the icy goons Khione dragged out of the ground, and for a while he matches them hit for hit. 

"Kind of a cop out to have your little snowmen do your dirty work!" He yells with a fierce grin. 

"Just you wait till I take you back to my palace," she says menacingly, "I have more than one method of shutting you up, and I'm sure I can think of a way or two to get some manners into you."

Leo shudders, not wanting to know what she's implying. She lets out a yell, raising her arms and summoning even more ice monsters. His stomach drops as they start to close in. He summons even more fire, continuing to slash through the demonic ice sculptures, but he knows there are too many of them. They're coming at him too fast, and at this point it's a matter of time before he's overpowered. He doesn't give a shit if Khione does win, if she does manage to drag his ass back to her wannabe Elsa castle. Nothing she could say or do, no amount of monsters or snow could make him stop fighting her. If he's going down, there's no chance he's going down without a fight. 

Suddenly, over the roar of the inferno around him and the howling wind beyond that, he hears a loud woosh. Behind Khione, behind the monsters and the snow, a figure appears, getting closer and closer. Leo sees a flash of bright red back lit against the silhouette, and his eyes widen as he realizes that it's you. You reach up to your ear, pulling out the shotgun earring you're still wearing from the day before. You descend, gliding down and he hears the barrel of your gun cock. A gunshot resonates through the air, echoing through the neighborhood, and Khione’s eyes widen as the monster directly in front of her collapses before turning to glittering sulfuric dust. You loop back up before descending again. 

Two more gunshots reverberate, and more of Khione’s monsters go down. Leo wheels around, taking out another with a flaming arc of his hand. Khione lets out a terrifying growl, refusing to lose her lover again. She won’t lose, not like this. More and more gunshots echo through the air between you, and you feel the stark difference between the bitter cold whipping around you turn into a restorative roaring heat when you get close enough to Leo’s fire. It melts the snow around him, and the ice and snowflakes falling above him turn into rain when they get close enough, sizzling into steam when they make contact with him. 

Khione tries to summon more monsters, but every time she does, Leo melts away the ones closest to him, and you shoot the ones that are far away enough to stay frozen. You fall into a rhythm, your attacks sync up and the tides really begin to turn. It’s only a few moments later that you tear down the last monster, and Khione screams, looking even more unhinged and terrifying than she had been. You finally, finally descend, landing behind her in the slushy puddle of half melted snow and monster dust from the fight. Your legs almost give out when you land, but you ignore the way they shake, you ignore the ache in your back from using muscles you didn’t even know you had, you ignore the screaming fatigue ripping through you and making you feel like you could collapse at any minute. You grab her neck, nails digging into her flesh, and press the barrel of your gun up against her head. 

“Where the fuck is the sundial.” You spit, the words tearing through your burning lungs like a wild animal. You don’t give a fuck about how fucking tired you are or how confusing this whole morning has been; it’s time to put an end to this. Leo can barely process all of this, how beautiful you look when you’re cold and exhausted, the fact that you have fucking angel wings sprouting out of your back, the fact that you’re even here at all. You’re all he’s wanted since the last time he saw you a few hours ago, and he’s so relieved that you’re okay, that you’re here. He knows now isn’t the best time for this, but you look really, really fucking hot all roughed up after a fight like this. You breathe hard for a few moments, waiting for Khione to answer. She doesn’t. Instead, she looks past you at Leo. 

“After the humiliation I’ve suffered,” she says, the defeat sitting uneasily in her eyes, “You think I would do you the honor?” She scoffs bitterly, and her gaze hardens. 

“It’s somewhere that you’ll never find it.” 

As soon as she spits out her words, she dissipates in a cloud of powdery snow. The second it hits the ground, all the snowflakes falling around you turn to rain. The clouds above you gain depth, turning to stony deep grays, moving faster across the sky than they had been. You and Leo stand there, stunned, and catch your breath. After a few moments, the harsh bite is completely gone from the air, and petrichor fills your senses. The air around you quickly sinks from frigid to chilly to crisp, and before you know it, it’s refreshingly cool outside. The rain seems to have renewed you both, baptizing you into clear states of mind and leaving you refreshed. 

“C’mon,” You turn to Leo, who places his hand on your back. “Let’s go.” 

You nod, agreeing softly, and you make your way back to the house. You look over at him, watching the way the rain makes his curls fall together in heavy clumps. You move your shoulder awkwardly, lifting up the wing next to him to hover above his head. It’s too late to keep him dry, but you can at least try to prevent him from getting more wet. He glances up, then over at you, eyes sparkling as he chuckles.

“Thanks.” He smiles. 

By the time you trudge back through the yard, the slushy ice is mostly gone, and the magic ice locking everyone in the house has become puddles that are slightly flooding the yard. Footsteps thunder towards the front door, where you know you and Leo are about to be greeted and have a lot to fill everyone in on. You shift your shoulder blades experimentally, and feel something start to retract. The door flies open, and you’re met with overlapping chatter that quickly dies down. There’s about five seconds of silence before everyone’s voices explode again, this time freaking out about your wings. Before long, Percy’s voice raises over everyone else’s.

“Okay, fuck it! Family meeting, everyone in the living room now!”

He guides everyone in like a sheepdog until you and Leo are sitting across from everyone else, all of you crammed onto the plush furniture. 

“This is new…” Hazel says, fiddling with the silky drawstring of her pajama bottoms. 

“Sorry,” Annabeth interjects, setting down her coffee before picking it right back up to take a sip. “Is anyone going to explain the whole… ice house arrest thing? What the hell was that?” 

You and Leo share a look. He sighs, and begins to explain everything that happened, looking to you to help him fill in the details. You’re not sure how long it takes to bring them up to speed about the fight and Khione and your wings, but when you’re done, they all sit in silence, processing the last few hours of your lives. Finally, Nico breaks the silence.

“I mean, it makes sense.” 

The confusion is palpable, and he continues. 

“The wings thing, I mean. Cupid and Eros are both usually depicted with wings, so…” 

You shrug, supposing that makes sense. You were relieved to hear that Calypso finally left, you just wish you’d been there to kick her out yourself. But you think Leo finally getting to put her in her place is better than anything you could have come up with to tell her. Jason groans loudly, pushing his glasses up to pinch the bridge of his nose. 

“Okay, you guys should go dry off, we’ll iris message Chiron and fill him in. We can… come up with a plan to find something hidden somewhere we’ll never find it. That sounds easily achievable.” He grumbles sarcastically, and Piper laughs. As you and Leo shuffle upstairs, you hear them talking about tracking the snow storm, bouncing around other ideas to figure out where Khione went. The tops of your wings bump into the doorway, and you gasp loudly, pain shooting down into your back. It feels like bumping both your funny bones at once, and Leo looks over to you, checking if you’re okay. You try flexing your back again like you did outside, and this time, your wings retract fully. You look at each other, startled. 

“I… did not know you could do that…” he muses. 

“Yeah,” you agree, “me neither.” 

You consider being able to use your newfound wings at least somewhat functionally after less than one day of practice a success. You head up the stairs, and hear Chiron’s voice coming from the living room while they tell him what’s going on. You’re sure Chiron will have an idea, some plan to help you figure everything out. It feels like you’re finally making some progress.

magic hat pin Round two

1982, and the magic hat pin is back. We do see that Samm Schwartz was spared the indignity of drawing any of it, and that Jughead physically remains the same. Overall this round of stories are politely amusing enough -- he puts on a pin, which I guess you can say is a metaphor for trying on different identities. The magic hat pin properties transfer to whoever wears the hat -- as opposed in the first round a few years' earlier the character is unchanged. It worked as a deus ex machina for one first round Cheryl Blossom story, which I guess is unfortunate. And it produced one comic image of a female robot amorously clutching Jughead, which is neat.

But for some reason we see that at one point, Archie Comics blanched at the concept of a "magic hat pin". So instead we have a "magic hat".

And I do not know what the printing mechanics are in removing that pin. Because here we see three separate alterations. First they get in that blurry red square. Then the space is not replaced. And then --

Huh.

Further reprinting confuse the matter further --

Just his regular hat. No pin. Someone is not paying attention.

Chapter four of A Kept Secret 🤫 on AO3

Snippet

The oak desk glimmered faintly, in the light, as if someone just polished it. Veronica spun around in the office chair while kicking her feet. She was in a good mood today. She called her mom with the outstanding news and, wanted to check and make sure she made it to the Hampton’s safely. Hours flew by as she analyzed information for a property ownership deal: a sibling dispute to sell a family lake house.

She was interrupted when a mysterious face knocked on the door and introduced himself as Frankie Valdez. He was the other paralegal in civil court and started at the peak of summer. He’s handsome. Her eyes lingered, with that thought, at his smile for a moment longer and could sense the muscles underneath his gray suit jacket.

“Hey.”

“Hi.” She took off her glasses to get a better look. His eyes were peculiarly compelling.
