By some stroke of Tyche, Jason Grace stirs to wakefulness when Alabaster comes to check up on him. As he takes a seat across his captive, Grace slurs out, “Where am I?”

“Hardly your first concern,” Alabaster curtly replies. “How did you pass through my wards while unconscious?”

“Wards?” Hazy blue eyes blink rapidly. “I don’t understand.”

Lips curling into a sneer, Alabaster wordlessly casts light from his palm. The green glow washes over their faces.

“Little praetor. You got quite a number of my subordinates killed. Don’t play dumb, Jason Grace.”

“I don’t know who that is,” the son of Zeus—Jupiter, really—pleads. “Is that… Is that my name?”

Alabaster rears back in surprise.

“What have we here?” he murmurs, casting a basic diagnosis incantation.

While Jason Grace looks too confused and helpless under the magical bindings Alabaster spelled on him to be telling anything but the truth, it doesn’t make the readings any less shocking.

He’s a total amnesiac.

And he reeks of Juno’s magic. His patron’s magic.

***

“So what do we do with him?” Claymore asks later on. “Will you use him?”

To get back at Olympus, Claymore means. Jason Grace is currently primed for it—malleable to Alabaster’s care but still powerful. However, there are more pressing matters to attend to. Lamia and her unknown mistress, for one.

Alabaster caresses his left forearm, where his deceased siblings’ names are inked into his skin.

“Not just yet.” His vengeance will have to wait.

“Then what are we keeping him for?”

Alabaster smiles. “The little praetor and I can start with hunting down my dear sister—and killing her for once and for all.”

Reyna: Not to judge your taste Jason, but I am. Saturn's general? Really?

Jason: I can fix him :D

‐---- meanwhile on Othrys

Ethan: Jupiter's son out of all people?

Alabaster: I can make him worse :D

Into Another Hell

[aicollider]

A peculiar instance of one Pierre Bezukhov (War and Peace) transported into a fantastical realm

After a sudden trip through a mystical portal, Pierre Bezukhov finds himself in the midst of a thunderous storm in the unfamiliar realm. Startled and disheveled, he stumbles upon a group of locals who kindly welcome him into their village. Delighted yet overwhelmed by their control over lightning, Pierre’s bumbling demeanor inadvertently leads him to disrupt the local thunder channeling…

Some Ta Jason au scribble :D

Tw: attempted execution

"Preators? You wanted to see me?" Jason stood in the middle of Principia, hands bunching the sides of his pants to stop potentially wringing them with anxiety.

Julius wasn't looking at him, staring at a small square paper piece in his hands with brows furrowed. Reyna held a jar with candies in it, shaking her head and mouthing something Jason couldn't figure out. Aurum and Argentum were trying to reach the jar's contents.

"Grace." Julius took a deep breath.

Jason blinked. Julius hadn't called him by his surname for a while, preferring his name or his rank instead.

"I expected this kind of behaviour from your frater but you..." Julius mumbled, "You. The child of Rome."

"I– I don't understand, sir." Jason looked at Reyna for an inkling about what was happening.

"Ariadne once told me a proverb her sponsor had shared with her: Feed the crow and it will gouge out your eyes." Julius huffed, running a hand through his hair, his voice taking the sorrowful tone it always did when he was talking about his late co-praetor and girlfriend. "Explain why your co-centurion Gwen found this photo under your pillow in the last barrack inspection."

He slid the piece of paper across the table. Jason leaned to get a closer look, his blood freezing inside his veins as he saw what exactly Julius had in his possession: A photo of him and Alabaster, arms around eachother and close in a way that no enemies should be.

"We raised you, Jason Grace." Julius hissed, "tell me it's not true, that's it's all a misunderstanding."

"I—" Jason stammered, "Whatever you're thinking, it's not. I'm not a traitor."

"Yes, and that's why you have a photo with Saturn's general? Is that not General Torrington or do I need glasses, Centurion?" Julius got up, circling his desk.

"No sir." Jason whispered. Gods damn it, he knew he should had gotten rid of that photo after their date.

Julius towered over him, raising Jason's chin with a hand cupped under it. "I trusted you, Jason. And to think I was considering you as my successor..."

Julius wiped away a stray tear that Jason hadn't even realised it was there. Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see two people from the First Cohort standing to the sides in full armour. Dread pooled inside his stomach. "Sir, please—"

"Seize him!" Julius barked. Before Jason could do anything, they had already latched onto his arms, dragging him towards the stairs leading under the Principia.

"Reyna!" Jason begged, desperation bleeding into his voice, "Reyna tell them, please! Ask Aurum and Argentum! I'm not a traitor, I swear—"

Reyna avoided his eyes. "Were you meeting up with Saturn's general or not?"

Her dogs growled, shifting their weight onto their back legs, ready to pounce at the slightest lie getting past Jason's lips.

Jason slumped in defeat, letting them drag him into confinement.

--------------

"Jason Grace, former Centurion of the Fifth Cohort, with the authority bestowed upon me by the Senate as praetor hereby I declare you stripped from your rank, any medals and citizenship of New Rome." Julius stomped his spear to the ground.

Jason had his back against Tiber, hands tied behind his back. The river raged behind him, the splashing water hitting behind his legs. Julius and Reyna stood in front of him, a group of archers holding a straight line between them and the rest of the cohorts forming a half-crescent.

"For the crime of treason, and aiding and abetting a known traitor—"

Jason wanted to beg, tell them he was no traitor. He had always been a loyal soldier his whole life. One of the archers drew their bow, the others following suit. Something seemed... off. Camp Jupiter certainly didn't have this many archers.

A boy he couldn’t recognise with sandy blonde hair and dull brown eyes stepped forward with a blindfold in his hands. Jason shut his eyes, not being able to bring himself to look at his fellow legionnaires in the eyes.

Arrows whizzed, though they never hit their target. Instead screams rang in open air as someone pushed him down, his back hitting the grass and hands cramped between the ground and his body.

His blindfold was ripped away from him as Jason stared at the same boy who tied it and was currently pinning him to the ground. Jason watched in bafflement as the air around them distorted, the blonde hair darkening to brown, the eyes shining till they reached the poisonous green Jason had came to know. Familiar freckles appeared on his cheeks.

The witch had arrived to the party.

"What are you doing here?" Jason whisper yelled.

"Saving your life." Alabaster drawled, helping them both onto their feet.

Jason looked around in confusion before the scene hit him. Several legionnaires were on the ground, arrows sticking out from their kneecaps, including Julius. Reyna glared at him as she rushed to her co-praetor's side.

Ouch. That hurt.

Saturn's demigods were breaking formations, causing ruckus between the legionnaires remaining on their feet. Alabaster untied his hands and whipped out his sword out of thin air.

Jason knew very well the lives of his friend's hanged on a single command from Alabaster.

"Al—"

"Let’s get you out of here," he mumbled, pulling Jason away from the riverside. Clashes of swords echoed behind them.

Jason turned his head to see how Julius and Reyna were doing; only to see Julius reach out to his spear, ready to throw it. Aimed right at Alabaster's back.

"Alabaster watch out!"

--------------

Jason's head was pounding, cold fingers were scratching his head. Soft sheets were tangled between his legs and... Alabaster's?

"Hhhg," he mumbled.

"Shhh," Alabaster cooed, hugging him from behind, face nuzzled against the back of Jason's neck. "Rest. We can see Lord Kro– Saturn tomorrow morning."

"What?" Jason's heart leaped.

"You agreed to join the army, remember silly?" Alabaster giggled.

Jason had zero recollections about that.

"I- I wouldn't— I," Jason wouldn't. He, he hadn't, right? "What happened?"

"Well," Alabaster hummed, "you did shoot at Julius with lightning."

Oh. Oh no.

Jason made a pained keen. "I have to go back then, explain myself, I—"

He attempted to get up, only to crash onto the bed as Alabaster yanked him back into his embrace.

"I didn’t save your life so you could get yourself executed, Jase." Alabaster spat out. He sighed softly, pulling the blanket to tuck themselves in. "You must've hit your head quite hard, you should really rest."

"But—" A hand clamped over Jason's mouth.

"Sleep." If Jason didn't knew any better he would have said that was a command, even with that though he couldn’t do anything to stop the heaviness of his eyelids.

Alabaster's voice might just as well been thickened honey, dripping and oozing with sweetness that pulled Jason under. The son of Hecate pressed himself closer, legs enveloping Jason's torso. The room they were in was pitch black save for the sligth glow Alabaster omitted, the bed softer than anything the barracks had to offer...

Would it be really that bad to close his eyes just for a second..?

ANON! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS WTH! I LOVE THAT!

Freshly appointed Preator Grace, traumatised from the events of Mt Othyrs, having been called to outside Camp Jupiter. He sees Juno, so far normal, he sees Trivia, weird duo but okay, and he sees... Saturn's demigod general?? Okay what's going on now?

Alabaster is supposed to be his new bodyguard/servant/ apparently betrothed(!?). Jason suddenly is very curious how that talk in Olympus went. Where is he going to sleep? He's not part of the legion, but they can't just let the former general into New Rome either. Reyna jokingly suggests they can share a room. Jason is not impressed. He would very much like it if Alabaster didn't antagonise everyone, too.

He wakes up in the bus surrounded by Piper and Leo, and head slumped against Alabaster's shoulder. He doesn't know why this boy is glaring at him (He doesn't know anything who is Jason??) but he's carding his fingers through his hair and that's nice. Can they stay like that for a while? No? Okay.

Cue the canyon shenanigans.

I JUST LOVE JASON-ALABASTER DYNAMICS

Is jason and alabaster a thing cuz alabaster who joined the ta to overthrow the gods, vowed to never bow to the olympians vs jason who tried his best at following the rules and did favours for the gods sounds kinda fun.

Also may i present an (sort of)arranged marriage au of them where after the ta was defeated and alabaster, instead of being banished by zeus, hera actually steps in and force him to be jason’s guard/protector/servant since she knows what she’s about to do. It doesn’t have to be a marriage necessarily but this au involves hera and I just want to spice it up. Sorry if this is incoherent, this truly came to me 10 minutes ago like a vision and boinked me in the head

oooo idk bro i just love rule follower x fuck the rules/i make my own rules and that is exactly what jason/alabaster seems like LMFAOOO

there is one work tagged jason/alabaster on ao3 and it's called Quintessence by amallpena, I have yet to read it but! It may be your cup of tea anon!

also i am snatching up this arranged marriage au hello i love that. as with many tropes, i have a love hate relationship with arranged marriage it needs to be done right or it sucks LMAO

But Alabaster Torrington, former general of Kronos/Saturn being the bodyguard/servant/betrothed to Jason Grace, son of Jupiter and Praetor of Camp Jupiter? thats some drama its good i love it and im here for it

this poses the question, however, does Alabaster remain at Camp Jupiter when Jason is brought to CHB? Or does he go with him and have to face the campers he fought against only a few months ago?

Both are full of flavour imo, because if he stays at CJ then you know PERCY but if he goes to CHB then theres Annabeth, Chris, Clarisse, all these faces of people who know him as an enemy, maybe even as someone they trusted, as Kronos' general, etc, etc. People he betrayed who probably blame him for a lot of their casualties. People he himself doesn't like, people he blames for his casualties. He left this camp because he didn't have a place in it, thats not going to change suddenly just because Hecate has a cabin because he betrayed the camp.

anyways
