upcoming works

if anyone here has read/enjoyed my fics , I just wanted to post my ENTIRE drafts to let you know what’s coming next (I can’t promise I’ll get around to all of these, but if there’s any you want me to prioritize , just let me know)

in no specific order

Legolas Greenleaf (LOTR) - based more off of the movies than the books. oc is half elf half sorceress and she goes on Bilbo’s adventure .. eventually meeting Legolas in mirkwood and then fighting with him in the battle of five armies. after the battle, she finds him again and begs him to take her with him because she doesn’t want to go back to her old life again. they go on a bunch of adventures. oc is besties w aragorn.

Lemony Snicket (ASOUE) - as in his entity as a character in the series, not the author himself (more the tv show than the books even though the books were my ENTIRE childhood) ((the author’s actual name is daniel handler and he’s a lovely person)) anyways,

my advice for you first and foremost is to never fall in love with a writer

especially if that writer is a prominent member of a secret organization

especially especially if said writer is committed to uncovering and documenting the sad lives of three orphans, the children of a past lover who has died tragically

my name is odessa denouement and I am begging you to put this book down and go read something more pleasant, such as the littlest elf or a story that doesn't involve pain, suffering, and a general lack of morals

odessa and lemony meet when their VFD missions overlap and they’re forced into a number of highly dangerous situations together. features a tragic ending.

Percy Weasley and Oliver Wood (HP) - because we all know they were in love. probably their last years of hogwarts into the second war. focuses a lot on percy going to the dark side. probably pretty angsty.

Will Turner (POTC)- oc is Jack Sparrow’s daughter. she’s super cool. raised by pirates. best parental relationship I’ve ever written (I usually go for the really shitty parent trope, but this time their relationship is rlly soft and makes me happy) anyways, she falls in love with will turner and it’s hot.

Beatrice and Phillipa (HP) - cute lesbians in gryffindor (golden trio era). should probably read my bill weasley series first because it’s a spinoff. would probably be their fifth year to sometime around the end of the war. main focus would be bea’s shift to the dark side.

FP Jones (Riverdale) - gotta preface this one with the fact that I hate riverdale as much as the next guy (sorry riverdale fans) I mean . the show’s insane. BUT FP is what got me through it. so this is the story of him and jughead’s mom in the 80s , then there’s a time jump to the first or second season. going to be short but cute.

Steven Hyde (that 70s show) - NOT played by d*nny m*sterson. anyways, oc moves to point place from nyc with her mom (who kinda sucks -yes, we’re back to the shitty parent trope-) falls for hyde and it’s rly angsty. at some point she lives in hyde’s old house but i’m not sure exactly when bc idk what season I want to start the season on. she’s also best friends with jackie because I’m in love with jackie.

Regulus and Marlene (HP) - umm so to be completely honest I don’t know what the plan was for this one. the only thing it says in the draft is “marlene is a slytherin”. I think I was high when I made it. but I feel like there’s some sort of potential there so we’ll see what happens.

Remus Lupin (HP) - either wolfstar or a slytherin oc or maybe regulus I don’t know. I have some ideas for scenes, but no specific people or genders or really any details at all. I just know I’m in love with remus and want to write about him and his sweaters.

Jesse Pinkman (Breaking Bad) - oc and jesse keep meeting by chance. first it’s because she’s staying at his parent’s house out of necessity (ep 2), then it’s because she’s Jane’s roommate, then it’s at Jane’s funeral. they keep saying they’re parting ways. that they’ll never see each other again, but it doesn’t work. one way or another, they’ll end up together.

Minerva McGonagall and Pomona Sprout (HP) - one of my fav ships ever. would start in their sixth year and there would be a few major time jumps over the course of the story. very soft relationship.

Peter Parker (MCU) - oc has powers over the elements. recruited to the avengers by tony stark. in the process of said transition, hydra attacks her family and oc is filled with rage. throughout the story, she lives with different members of the avengers (she moves around a lot) and she and peter have a friends to lovers sort of thing.

Daniel Desario (Freaks and Geeks) - charlotte’s been friends with the freaks since she was a kid. she’s been on-again-off-again dating nick since middle school, she has mixed feelings about kim, ken is her favorite person ever, and she is hopelessly in love with Daniel. when lindsay comes into the picture and things shift dramatically, charlotte finally has the chance to shoot her shot.

Spencer Reid (Criminal Minds) - word for word what I have in my drafts:

ummmmm so we've got a main character named ummmmmm sophie or phoebe or something and shes like blonde and short and only three months older than reid and sup super smart like with math and science and stuff and she graduated early and has a doctorate and is smart and stuff but doesnt really tell anyone and looks kinda sloppy and has a really relaxed attitude and we love her - she almost dropped out of high school because she was bored but then agent gideon was like dude come on ill give u a job (or something?)

oh and her parents and little brother died in a fire when she was eight only her older brother survived and they are super close she loves him so much but she has some trauma from constantly being sent to foster homes where nodbody wanted to keep her bc shes difficult and also like watching her parents die so she has a HUGE fear of fire and an irrational fear of big dogs

ANYWAYS starts off with her at her house and she's just hangin she has a cat and she's making herself dinner and she's one of those super cute single bi girls who likes her plants and her music and her science bookstore

friends in college story (an original work) - okay so I wanna go to film school (I want to be a screenwriter) and this is an original script I’ve been working on but I might adapt parts of it to a story. basically it’s like a dark academia sitcom where a bunch of liberal, progressive kids go to this rural, ultra-christian college for different reasons and find each other and become the ELITE friend group. obviously it would have a better name than the “friends in college story” although now it’s sort of growing on me

the new tragedy (an original work) - “sometimes i need to remind myself that you existed. You were real, you were so real. your hair was real, your crooked smile was real. the way you couldnt talk in the morning before you’d had your coffee, or how you could never get to sleep at night without an episode of whatever show you were obsessing over in the moment. oh my god. you were real.

she looked like death. the guy, not the concept. sallow skin and dark, sunken eyes that absorbed all of the light and trapped it, holding it hostage and never letting it out. when she smiled, the light poured all over her, like she was taking a shower in it. when she frowned, she looked like a storm cloud. I loved her. I loved her so much.

God!Percy fic Ch. 6

Previous chapter https://valdez-and-the-argo-crew.tumblr.com/post/617957596801974272/godpercy-fic-ch-5

This wasn’t death, which is good. But I’m not fully alive. Or maybe I am I don’t know. Godly life is complicated.

The point is, I sat up and I could tell I was in a dream.

“Ah, there he is.” A familiar voice said. “Welcome to the land of the living. Well— kinda. Because...y’know. I’m not alive.”

I tried to focus on the voice, but my vision was still blurry.

“Who...” my words sounded far away, like they weren’t my own.

Once my head cleared I could see who was standing in front of me. Sandy blonde hair, a near perfect tan, blue eyes that would’ve been picture perfect, had it not been for the unmistakable scar running down the side of his face.

“...Luke.”

“Hey Percy. Long time no see?” He laughed a bit as he reached out a hand. He helped me off the ground and gave me time to get my balance back.

“What are you...why am I talking to you?” I asked.

“That’s a difficult question. See...you’re currently toeing the fine line between life and death. And I guess I get the lucky chance of talking to you. But this isn’t really me and deep down you know that.” He said. I looked at him, probably closer than I ever have, and I could really see just who he was.

“How can I be dying, I’m a god. I’m supposed to be immortal.” I said, to which Luke chuckled.

“Curses work differently. Kind of ironic that you drowned, all things considering, but that’s how it is.” He said. “Oh and congratulations on godhood. You’ve really come far since you were that scrawny 6th grader I trained.”

I gasped jokingly. “I was not scrawny!”

“Could’ve fooled me.” Like teased.

For that moment, everything felt okay. We were just two friends joking around. Nothing mattered except for this, no gods, no titans, no past memories...

“Luke...when Kronos offered you power... why did you take it?”

His expression grew dark. For a moment my heart was seized by fear. He looked so much like he did when he was possessed, all he was missing was the golden eyes.

“I did it...” he paused, and I was taken aback by how cold his voice sounded, nothing like the boy I had just been talking to.

“I did it because the gods are unfair. They take and they take, but never once do they give. I mean sure they do things like...like make you a god, but you earned that and they had to respect that. Never once do the gods do something other than for themselves.”

And for the first time, I could really see what he was talking about. I thought about my life so far. My dad wasn’t there for me, leaving me with Gabe and my mom. Just as he comes forward and claims me, I was shipped off on a quest for him. I was the one who stopped the war over the lightning bolt, not any of the gods. I was the one who stopped the titan army. I was the one who collapsed the labyrinth, and I was the one who organized the protection of New York in the war. None of the gods helped me then.

“I never really wanted to play for the bad side. Really. I just wanted justice for all the young kids who grew up disadvantaged because the gods thought themselves too high and mighty to contact them.” He said, looking down.

I let those words play over in my head. And...Luke was right, the gods only really take, they never give.

Our eyes met, and a moment of understanding passed between us. Some unspoken connection, an agreement that we believe the gods can do better.

“I can...do something about it. I’ll wake up and...and I’ll confront the gods once this quest is over.” I said. “I’m going to change the tide for demigods.”

Luke looked at me. I wish I could tell what was going on inside his head.

“I have to go. But just think on that okay? And be better than the other gods. You can have more to have, so long as you have more to give. So choose to wake up and fight.”

I nodded, still lost in my thoughts.

“And Percy?”

I looked at him, and once again, his blue eyes seemed to dance gently, a caring expression crossing his face.

“Tell Annabeth I miss her.”

With that Luke faded, and I was alone. My gut started to hurt, and a dull pain spread throughout my body. I found it difficult to breathe again, and my surrounding started to melt away.

“Percy? Percy wake up!” Someone said. Oh right...I’m dying.

But I can change that. I choose to change that.

I gather as much energy I can, and I dispel the water from my lungs. I lurch forward, coughing and heaving as I can once again breathe in sweet sweet oxygen.

But not for long, as I’m tackled in a hug by Jamie.

“Percy I was so scared I thought...you were dead...and I...” Jamie was saying through sobs. I pulled away to look at him.

“I’m okay buddy I promise. I’m not dying any time soon.” I assured him. I looked over at Nico.

“Are you good? What happened to the other spirit?” I asked.

“Jamie killed it. Excellent swordsmanship, I have to say. Seems like someone taught him well.” Nico smiled a bit.

Jamie once again cut off my air supply as he hugged me tight again.

“What happens now?” I ask, looking around.

“Well I suppose I have to go make sure the spirits got back to Tartarus okay. You two should probably just head back to camp.” Nico looked at Jamie. “It was nice meeting you, kid.”

“Wait you’re leaving? Why aren’t you coming back to Camp Half-Blood?” Jamie asked, a small pout pulling at the corners of his mouth.

“I’m...not really one to stay in one place. Camp isn’t really my home. But...I’ll be sure to stop by.” Nico explained, kneeling down to see eye to eye with Jamie.

“Promise you’ll come visit soon?” Jamie asked him.

“Oh looks like someone’s got a favorite cousin,” I laughed. “C’mon kid, Nico needs to take care of the Arai. We’ll see him again soon I’m sure of it.”

Jamie smiled at Nico and waved a bit.

With that...the quest was over. We went our separate ways, Nico to the underworld and us...back to camp.

Maybe it’s just me but...that felt all too short to be a quest. And the prophecy felt incomplete. We beat the spirits, gave them to Nico, who was definitely the ‘cold hands of death’ guy. When he was shaking me awake, his hands were so cold I could swear they gave me frostbite.

But there was nothing about Olympus falling? I mean other than that weird dream conversation I had with Luke, nothing too godly was involved.

“Do we have to take another long train ride back to camp?” Jamie asked as we walked back towards the train station.

“Yea— well...actually no. No we don’t have to.” I said. “Because I’m a god. Watch this.” I simply waved my hand and my Godly Magic That Obeys My Every Command transported us to New York, right outside of camps boundaries, next to the tree that had once been my friend Thalia.

Luke’s words echoed in my head. “the gods are unfair. They take and they take, but never once do they give”. Zeus could’ve saved his daughter. But it was easier to let her die than to fight for her.

“Jamie why don’t you head to the cabin, I’m going to go talk to Chiron.” I said. Jamie nodded and took off across camp. I watched him run until he was out of sight, and then I turned to go towards the Big House.

But I didn’t go there. I walked right past it and went to the beach. I needed to think things through.

Before I knew it, the sun was melting past the horizon as Artemis pulled the moon across the sky.

I was still sitting on the beach when I felt someone sit next to me. Without looking up I knew who it was, because she could always tell when something was wrong.

“What happened?” Annabeth asked.

“Almost died.” I said, mindlessly doodling in the sand. “By drowning, nonetheless.”

“Jamie explained that. Poor kid was terrified of loosing you. Nico was there too?” She asked, and I nodded.

“He was the one to return the spirits to the underworld. Which you’d think would be the last bit of the prophecy, right? But...” I shrugged and looked at her for the first time since getting back. “Somethings missing.”

Annabeth gave me a gentle smile and brushed some loose hair out of my face. “I can’t tell you what the prophecy means. But I can tell you that you’ll know what’s supposed to happen and when it’s suppose to happen.”

She gently brushed my cheek, and then tucked some more of my loose hair behind my ear.

“Luke said hello...” I said, completely ruining the moment. Nice going Percy.

She withdrew her hand and looked at me. “Luke? You...talked to him? How?”

“It wasn’t really him. Not fully, at least. But...as I was kind of dying he came to me, and just...talked to me.” I looked back out at the sunset, though there wasn’t much left to see. The sun was almost fully beyond the horizon.

“What did he talk to you about?” Annabeth asked. I could tell by her voice she was tentative. She didn’t want to pry but she wanted to know every last detail.

I didn’t answer her question. Instead, I asked, “do you think the gods are good?”

“...what?”

I looked at her once again. “Do you think the gods are good?”

“No I heard you but... what do you mean? Of course the gods are good!” She said. “They protect us, and help us, and...why is this even a question?”

“No reason. Just...thinking...” I tossed a small shell I found into the waves that were coming just short of my toes.

Annabeth put her hand on my arm. “Percy, look at me.” I did. “The gods are tricky. We’ve always known this. But they’re the reason we’re alive.”

“I shouldn’t have brought it up.” I said, standing up and brushing the sand off of my pants. “The conch should sound any minute now, you go enjoy dinner, I’ll see you in a bit.”

“Percy wait-“

I did a really cool thing where I kinda just dissolved into water using my Godly Abilities. Once I was completely underwater I became myself and looked around.

A school of fish passed by, followed by a bigger fish. There’s always a bigger fish I guess.

I descended deeper into the water, letting my thoughts drift away with the currents. I thought of Annabeth, and then of Camp. Chiron would be displeased if I brought up the questions of the gods’ morals. I thought of my dad, and then of my mom. I hadn’t seen her and Paul in a while, and I knew she missed me, but every time I go there, I know she is only reminded of how I chose immortality over her and everyone else I love.

I thought of my first quest, and the sense of belonging that came with it. I fit in, and no matter what, Annabeth and Grover would always be there for me. I thought of how, if I didn’t have my dad, at least I had my friends.

I thought of Jamie, and then Tyson, and then Thalia, and the Hunters. So many people...and they all just blindly follow what the gods say.

Can I change their minds?

Can I show them that we have the right to be ourselves, not pawns to gods?

I looked down at my hands. Without meaning to, I’d changed my appearance to be what I looked like at age 16, the last day I was ever truly mortal.

I knew what I needed to do, and I knew just how to do it.

My Week Away

So I told y’all that I would tell you about my vacation when I got back and I can finally sit down and type this out on a computer (it feels so good to be back at a computer).

I’m going to mark this as read more because it’s going to be long and I’ll tag it as long post too.

So my dad and I went to Fort Worth, Texas to see BTS in concert. I actually managed to score tickets and I was so thankful. We left Thursday night to make it to FW by 3 PM the next day. We drove eighteen hours straight through and oh boy were we tired.

When we arrived at the hotel (we stayed at the Aloft, more about that in a minute) we probably looked like drowned harrassed rats because we were tired and in desperate need of a shower and a bed. We both took showers before we left, but sitting in a care forever makes you feel icky.

The drive down was pleasant because we started at like 4 PM and I got to see the mountains bathed in sunlight as it slowly sunk down. Then seeing the night sky was great. The only state we didn’t like driving through was Arkansas just because it was so flat and there was just farmlands. We just got kinda bored.

The hotel was the Aloft and it was amazing. The elevators were strange because you had to select the floor number before you got on and it told you which car to take. They had a bar (which I couldn’t use because I don’t turn 21 for another forty some days), and a pool table. My dad and I played pool a lot, and I even got blisters from playing.

We were actually down in the lounge playing pool on our first day (?? I’m pretty sure it was the first day) when these two motorcycle cops went by, and then these two busses went by and finally another motorcycle cop. My dad and I both shared this wide-eyed look because we’re almost 100% sure that was BTS driving by. I couldn’t believe it to be honest.

The next day we just chilled in FW, did some shopping, got some last minute things we needed and ate. Then Saturday went walked up to the Convention Center just to see what the crowds were like. And oh my gods there were fans everywhere. The lines were insane! I had tickets for Sunday so I didn’t need to be there.

Then Sunday rolls around. My dad and I got up early to go get in line for merch. (Sale started at like 8:30 AM and went to 4 PM) I posted a video, you can see it here. We waited in line for like three hours. I made a new friend, she was really nice and her dad bought my dad and me teas which we really appreciated because he didn’t have to do that. Then we made it inside and waited in line some more, and by the time I got up there everything but one item I wanted had sold out (I was so frustrated by this). Then we went back to the hotel, showered because standing outside in the heat we did sweat, and ate.

Then it was time for the concert and once again the people! Here’s another video I posted about what it looked like. I have never seen so many BTS fans in one place it was great. Then we made it inside. I Snapchated a video from my seats. Most of this stuff is on Instagram where I documented my activities throughout the trip. If you want to see my adventures go here.

People were singing and screaming to the music videos playing in the Convention Center before the concert even started. The doors opened at 3:30 PM which is when Dad and I went in. I got an ARMY bomb, I wasn’t going to but then I was like “I’m gonna regret it if I don’t.”

Then the concert started and we all started screaming and doing the fan chants. At one point I started to cry because these seven boys mean so much to me, I have a very personal reason why I love them, some of which I touch on in one of my Insta posts.

I called my mom twice because she didn’t come with us but she loves BTS (both my parents are fans). I danced to the songs and I got to hear some of my favorites like Baepsae, Dope, Fire, Boys with Fun, and some of the older ones I never thought I’d get to hear live. It was such a special night and one I’m not going to forget.

At one point toward the end Namjoon was like, “I gotta do this! So we’re in Fort Worth, but you guys are my First Worth.” And I swear he’s such a dork, but I love him. At one point my soul left my body during Baepsae because of him (Mari knows what I’m talking about).

Also being able to see Yoongi, Hobi, and Namjoon rap was amazing. Hearing it on your phone or watching a recording doesn’t do it justice to seeing it in person. Also seeing Jimin and Hobie dance was just breathtaking. Those two put there all into dancing.

After the concert, we stayed in Fort Worth for a few more days and just did random things. I went to Goatman’s Bridge, which if you’ve ever watched Ghost Adventures or Buzzfeed Unsolved you’ll know what bridge I’m talking about. We heard a goat, felt like our chests were tightening, I got really panicky and anxious, and my dad felt a burning on his neck which was also really red. Just know we were in the shade and my dad doesn’t burn easily. I have some pictures from there. Just know I will post my pictures and videos over the next few weeks and what not. I won’t do it all at once to bombard you all.

Once we left Fort Worth we drove ten hours to Nashville and stayed the night. We were supposed to stay there for three days, but we only stayed one because my dad and I were just ready to come home to be honest. I got to see the replica of the Parthenon. They had a few things from the Percy Jackson movie like one of Annabeth’s darts, the scrip, and one of the pearls.

I’ve always wanted to see the Parthenon in person (both the one in Nashville and then the actual one in Athens). My dad promised me years ago that he would take me and he did.

Then we arrived home last night and I’ve been relaxing today. But like I said I’ll post videos and pictures later so you all can see what my trip was like!
