ok i’ve seen people say a million things regarding what percy jackson will do for his career. and the truth is, as of right now, we don’t know. but i have recently (as of yesterday) become pretty convinced of one thing: percy would hate being a marine biologist. it’s too much collecting samples, working in a lab, reporting findings, doing research - all of which percy would hate. he needs something with more action. our boy, with his hero complex and desire for purpose, needs to be helping people/animals on a daily. i’ve seen aquatic veterinarian, rescue diver, firefighter, all of which seem much more up his alley. maybe he’d do a mix of things. but i really don’t know

so i’m asking you guys :)

Twiyor // College/Lifeguard AU 🛟

During the summer, Loid takes up a job as a lifeguard at Berlint beach. Like with school life, he’s attentive and friendly with beach goers, who often visit to gawk at the handsome lifeguard who will save them if need be.

One of these beach goers, who Loid now knows by name as Fiona, will go out of her way to fake that she’s drowning. Loid sighs as he hears her call out for help for the fourteenth time, but still acts diligently and swims out to her and drags her to safety.

“Fiona, you can’t keep calling out for help every time you go in the water.” Loid scolds, “Someone else may actually need my help!”

Fiona tries playing coy.

“Oh, I’m so sorry, Loid. I just got so lightheaded swimming against those rough waves.”

“…The water is calm.” He says.

Fiona hugs herself as she squeezes her breasts together, trying to emphasize how cute they look in the new bikini top she bought just for him.

Loid stares at her nonplussed.

“Just be more careful, alright?”

“I certainly will, Loid! I’ll be so careful!” Fiona assures.

Just as Loid is about to walk to the lifeguard tower, he hears someone shouting from further out in the water.

“HELP! HELP ME!!” The voice cries out.

Loid looks out and sees what appears to be a little boy, flailing around in the water.

Without hesitation, he rushes into the water and swims out to where the boy is.

“HELP! SIS, HELP!!” The little dark-haired boy yells out, dunking his head under the water.

Loid reaches him, dives under the water, and pulls the boy to the surface.

“Don’t worry, little buddy, I got you.” Loid says in hopes to calm him.

He begins swimming them to the shore.

“HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU JERK! LET ME GO! MY SISTER IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE ME!” The boy shouts.

The boy wriggles around in hopes to escape Loid’s rescue.

“Hey, stop moving around, kid!”Loid says, trying to keep them both above water.

After a few minutes of the boy struggling to get free, they finally reach the shore. Loid pulls the boy out of the water.

“You alright, kid?” Loid asks.

The boy stares angrily back at him.

“WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA, YOU DUMB HUNK?! I DIDN’T NEED YOU TO SAVE ME! I WAS WAITING ON MY SISTER!” The little boy shouts.

Loid stares at him with confusion.

“YURI?? YURI!!” A woman calls out as she runs directly towards them.

The boy turns around.

“SIS? SIIIISSSS!!!!!” He shouts as runs towards her.

The woman kneels down and hugs the boy tight.

“Oh, Yuri, I was so worried about you! I walk away for a minute to get some drinks for, and then you run off!” The woman scolds.

“Even still, I’m happy you’re safe.” She says, relieved.

“It was so awful, Sis!” The boy starts crying , “I-I wanted to show you I was a strong swimmer. A-and I went out too far in the water, a-a-and I almost drowned, and then this jerky lifeguard pulled me to shore.” He cries.

Loid walks over to them.

“Ma’am, is this your son?”

The boy turns around and aggressively points at Loid.

“THAT’S HIM, SIS!! THAT’S THE STUPID JERK WHO PULLED ME OUT OF THE WATER!”

“Loid?” The woman asks, “Loid Forger??”

Upon hearing his name, Loid realizes that the woman before him is Yor Briar.

“Yor?”

The two sat next to each other in history and English lit. They had also met through their friends Dominic and Camilla at a party, where Loid noticed how pretty Yor was upon first glance.

Loid was too proud to admit it, but he’d grown to have a crush on Yor. He’d grown fond of the way she always said “good morning” to him everyday, and how her bright smile and kindness always lit up his world, even on the rainiest of days.

“What are you doing here?!” Yor asks, giving him that bright smile.

“I’m a lifeguard! At least for the summer to make a some money.” He chuckles, “What brings you here?”

“My brother wanted us to come the beach while he’s on summer break from Eden College. So, here we are!”

“Well, welcome! I hope you two have today!”

“Thank you, Loid! And thank you again for saving my brother.”

“You’re welcome!”

The two just smile at one another in silence for a few moments. He’s completely lost in the sight of Yor in her cute black bikini. Her skin still so fair, even in the harsh summer sun. It makes his heart skip, and his trunks a little tighter.

“AHEM.” The boy clears his throat, “QUIT OGLING MY SISTER, YOU PERV!”

“Yuri! That’s no way to speak someone!” Yor scolds. “He helped save you!”

“It’s okay, Yor. As long as Yuri’s safe, that’s all that matters!” Loid kneels down to Yuri, “Just be careful next time, little buddy.”

Loid pats his head.

Yuri slaps Loid’s hand, “LIKE I NEEDED HELP FROM A DUMB HUNK LIKE YOU!”

“Yuri…” Yor says in an ominous tone. Staring daggers at him.

Yuri quivers at her tone. He bolts away, running down the beach.

“I’M SORRY, SIS!!! I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY, I’M SORRYYYYYY!!!” Yuri cries.

Yor sighs, “Oh, Yuri…”

She turns to Loid, “I’m sorry about my brother. I know he’s grateful for you helping him.”

“It’s quite alright, Yor. I’m just happy I could help.”

“Hey, Loid… Camilla’s throwing a party tomorrow. Will I see you there?”

Loid hadn’t planned on going, but if Yor will be there, so will he.

“Yes, I’ll be there!”

Yor lights up at his answer, “Yay! I can’t wait!” she says, overly excited. She catches herself and reels it in, “That’s great! I can’t wait!”

Loid chuckles, “Me too!”

Yor smiles at him again, “Well, I should go get my brother before he runs up the entire coast. Thank you again for saving Yuri, Loid~”

The way she says his name tugs at Loid’s heart.

“You’re welcome, Yor~”

“I’ll see you tomorrow!” She waves at him.

“I’ll see you then!” He waves back.

END.

I won't let go

chapter 1: starting line 🌊🛟

rated m | ch. count: 4k | ch. 1

summary:

At that, Evan remembered he hadn’t given—'Chimney ‘I’ll tell you what it means later’—his own name.

“Uh my names…”

He trailed off, Chimney raising a brow his direction, voice teasing.

“Is it a hard one kid?”

He sighed, shaking his head; the guy was only kidding, but Evan really didn’t know what to say; he was so tired of being who he was. 

Thankfully, they came to a large room then, all of them filing in with silence. Officers and officials stood at the front, no doubt already assessing them all. Evan focused his attention ahead, taking a seat between Chimney, and the woman with the bright smile. The bunk stealer sat just across from them, Evan determined not to give the guy the satisfaction of staring, no matter how infuriatingly gorgeous the guy was. 

“Out of the 39,000 men and women who make up the United States Coast Guard, there are only 280 rescue swimmers. This is because we are the Coast Guard’s elite. We are the best of the best.”

Evan wanted to be one of the best. All he’d wanted his entire life was to be enough; he was tired of being a constant disappointment.

WIP wednesday

thanks for the tag lovley @imsupposedtobewritting 💙💖

—this is my newest wip that may or may not be the guardian au (aka coastguard au)😁🛟🏊🏼🏊🏽‍♂️🌊

“Captain, Airman Buckley. I just have one question.” He pointed over to the board, waiting until the captain’s eyes followed his. “That guy who holds all those records….is he still alive?”

The Captain gave a raise of his brow, turning back to face Evan. “Why do you ask?”

Evan all but puffed his chest out, giving off his cockiest tone as he hitched his thumb toward the list. “I just thought you ought to let him know that I’m about to knock his name off that board.”

The Captain gave a simple nod of his head. “Really. Well, why don’t you let him know yourself; he’s standing right behind you.”

Buck turned, following everyone’s line of sight to a man that was stood at the back, no nonsense written over his face.

“Class turn around and greet Senior Chief Bobby Nash. He’ll be your lead instructor for the next eighteen weeks. Senior Nash is one of the most decorated rescue swimmers in the history of the US Coast Guard.”

Well shit.

Evan didn’t turn away, determined not to let himself be intimidated. So, this guy had set a few records and was the most decorated rescue swimmer; big deal.

As they exited the building, told things would be taking off in the morning, Buck found himself next to Chimney, the woman with the nametag ‘Wilson’ introducing herself. “I’m Henrietta, but please, call me Hen.”

Evan smiled right back to her, leaning in when she reached out for a hug. Hen’s brace was so warm and inviting, reminding him of all the ones he’d shared with his big sister Maddie.

Hen and Chimney looked to each other, then over to Evan, brows raised in curiosity. “So,” Hen started, “what should we call you?”

“I uh, I mean, I don’t really have a cool nickname like you guys do.”

Chimney hitched his thumb to the side, Evan just catching sight of the one guy he’d been hoping to avoid the rest of the day. “Well, he just goes by Eddie. No cool nickname there.”

Eddie huh?

“What, is that short for Eduardo or something?”

Eddie stepped up to join them, Buck bristling a little when Eddie came too close, their arms just barely brushing together.

“Edmundo, actually.”

This guy wasn’t going to give Buck an inch, was he?

“Should we just call you Buckley?” Hen asked with a point toward his nametag.

“No, that’s-that’s too long.”

He wanted something unique, something that defined himself from the rest of his name. They stood there for a moment in silence, Evan all but ready to give up and give them some sort of fake name when Eddie’s voice suddenly cut into his thoughts.

“How about Buck?”

He jerked his head toward Eddie, furrowing his brows together. He was not letting ‘Mr. Perfect’ pick his nickname out, thank you very much.

“Buck, I like that,” Hen said as she tried it out. Chimney chimed in with, “Yea, and we can always call you Buckaroo if we wanna get real fancy!”

He couldn’t help the smile that spread across his face, though it quickly dissipated when he caught sight of Eddie’s eyes. They were a rich golden brown with flecks of green, Evan easily getting lost in them. Eddie gave a tilt of his head, those big browns of his almost pleading.

“Yea, I uh, I don’t hate that name.”
