#pjo gold heart snippet

"Something about this man also reminds Percy of his dad, and he wonders if he is destined to see Poseidon in every man who is kind to him."

-Gold Heart, chapter 4, : I accidentally become The Dark Knight

Scrapbook 2022 | Pt III

For anyone that’s new to this, this is how I keep track of all of the things that I enjoy and/or create throughout the year. I have literally been doing this since I had a livejournal.

It’s a nice little snippet of my life and helps to organize my brain.

A reminder:

Normal font - Indifferent/Neutral Italicized font - Enjoyed bold font - Loved with an asterisk* - All time favorite (bracketed titles) - Re-watches/Re-reads strikethough - Disliked

Goals are: read 80 60 books , finish six video games, write more than 20 fics or something larger than 20k, and expand on your original novel outline to the point that you START WRITING.

Clear Blue Sky by spqr | Suits | Harvey/Mike | 17k | Whenever Mike’s allowed herself to think about Harvey and sex, she’s mostly imagined: Clooney and Lopez in Out of Sight, Bruce Wayne and Bond girls, clandestine choreographed encounters in anonymous hotel rooms, gorgeous Italian and Russian and other such intimidatingly foreign supermodels peeling him carefully out of tuxedos with price tags that would make Mike’s eyes water – neat, elegant encounters that left the women as puddles of goo and Harvey cooly unaffected, lighting a cigar on the balcony and looking appraisingly out at the city while his partners recovered.

December 

Lest We Forget by @tierfal | FMA | Roy/Ed | 26k | Ed wakes up in the sewers with very little recollection of how he got there, wearing seriously boring clothes. It's… probably going to be fine.

[garden-galaxytree]

He sees his mother from the corner of his eyes pause and watch him and Annabeth from the other edge of the field. She’s smiling and it’s a real one this time, and Percy makes a mental promise to spend more time with her too. It wasn’t just Tyson he had been neglecting with everything going on. Her smile becomes bittersweet, like she’s already grieving how well Percy fits in here with the other demi-gods. Away from her .  Percy wonders if this is part of the reason May Castellan tried to become the Oracle. To stay close with her son too.

Gold Heart, Chapter 7, "I say hello and goodbye"

[garden-galaxytree]

The flow of Ocean from Percy’s eyes stops, and dries up. It leaves behind glimmering Sea Salt on his face.  Percy stands up and walks back to the cabin, cupping the seashell to his heart. He swears he could make out his dads voice in the crescendo of the waves on the beach but he could just be hearing things again, like in the Labyrinth, but he finds he misses the sound of it dearly . His pajamas are still damp with Ocean despite Percy willing himself to dry. It’s partly his grasp still solidifying over the domain of the sea.  And partly his dad clinging to him, not wanting to part with his son. The ocean water drip-drops from his pj’s and into the sand dunes, plinking down like tears.

Gold Heart, Chapter 6, "Our Family end of the World Road Trip."

[garden-galaxytree]

For several long moments all he can do is drink in the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. 

He’s not sobbing but his eyes have a steady stream of pure ocean water, dropping from his parted lips and into the sand in a constant, fountain-like flow. It reminds him of Springer’s statues in her fountain depicting the reunion of Demeter with her twin children, Persephone and Desponia, where the water pours forth from Demeter’s eyes when she is reconciled with Persephone, her tears collected by Desponia, the goddess of freshwater. The life-giving water restoring life to the plants and to earth after the reconciliation of parent and child. 

So every spring, it rains . 

Gold Heart, Chapter 6, "Our family end of the world Road Trip".

[garden-galaxytree]

Iapetus exhales deeply, face troubled.

“Gaia lies. None of us will be a part of this new world. It’s likely our very essence will be crushed and repurposed into something completely alien, if allowed at all. It’s difficult to vanquish a mortal’s immortal soul but I imagine if anyone could, it would be Gaia. I know your inclination might be to pray, but don’t do that. She would hear it.”

- Gold Heart, chapter 1, : Our Family End Of The World Road Trip

[garden-galaxytree]

Percy wakes up.

He’s covered in cold sweat and he runs to the bathroom and vomits.

After he decides to take a walk.

It’s early in the morning, just late enough to not be eaten by the harpies, but then again, Percy would fillet them if they tried. The sun had barely risen and all the Demigods were still asleep for the most part, still exhausted from the Battle, and from all the recent additions to camp and building everything for them.

“You would think the Hero of Olympus would be enjoying his beauty sleep.” A curious voice drawled from the porch of the big house.

“Mr. D.”

“Peter. It’s unlike you to be up so early.”

“Didn’t think you cared enough to notice.”

“Good to know the lack of sleep hasn’t affected your attitude. Nico told me about dreams of yours, why don’t you sit here for a bit. Not too long though.” The wine god said with a faint smile on his face. The war finally being over clearly made Mr. D feel better.

“So you can remember his name?” Percy complained but sat in a chair.

The silence drew on. It became awkward as Mr. D raised an eyebrow at him and slowly lowered his card.

“...The war affected us all, Percy Jackson. "Mr. D. says pointedly. "You in particular. You always had ah, shall we say an unique connection to the elder Titan-”

Flashes of gold, grains, sand in an hourglass-

“- And many campers were affected by the war. I would know as the God of Insanity as well. These dreams are likely remnants of the divine energy of the prophecy being completed.”

Mr. D shuffles his cards. With his godly, pudgy, hands. Once the hands of a mortal.

"What do gods dream of?" Percy wonders.

Percy feels the heaviness of Mr. D.'s gaze and he turns to look. It feels like the first time he met the god, twelve and grieving, and feeling the weight of purple insanity. Percy realizes that he could have shared Mr. D's fate, a demi-god that ascended.

"Do gods dream the same dreams as mortals?" Percy asks quietly.

"...No." Mr. D. says, the single syllable carrying several emotions, chief among them longing, grief, and nostalgia. "We have no need for sleep, and dreams are often the workings of fate-the domain of mortals, if they ever had one." Percy can't believe Mr. D. sounds wistful! "I...find myself missing it, almost."

Percy is frozen solid.

He thinks of his own dreams.

Were they his own?

“Do you think Kronos was insane?” Percy blurts out.

Silence.

The air seems to cool. The windchimes slowly clank together, a piece of paper skitters past in the wind, his heart beats loudly.

“...An interesting question. I am fortunate to never have met him personally, but wherever bits of his presence lingered, I detected irrationality, and yes, even some insanity. A functional lunatic, if you will. None of that matters now of course. He’s scattered so severely after dying a second time not even the elder gods with all their power could scrape him back together. His divinity is just too faint. I would suggest you quit worrying and be glad it’s all over. It’s unhealthy for a mind to ruminate.”

- Percy Jackson, Gold Heart, Chapter 1: Our Family End Of The World Road Trip

I would like to begin making post for other fanworks of mine, such as my Naruto works like " Miko" and "Gift of Acuity".

Each post will be tagged with the fanfiction it is based off of.

'Snippets' will be for quotes text

'Meme' for memes

'Fanart' for fanart others have done for my works

Just wanted to give you all a heads up!
