I've seen a lot of people writing Danny as a space ancient and Dan and Dani as ghosts with moon and sun cores, being sort of parts, versions of Danny and therefore weaker. Now, consider: Dan and Dani are both powerful ghosts with really cool cores and stuff but Danny is just some guy™
Dan, who came from an alternate timeline and is kind of from the future but also not, is Clockwork's apprentice and will eventually become an ancient of time. He probably only agreed to have some lessons with Clockwork to understand better what happened to him, but he enjoys his apprenticeship now.
Dani, with her love of travelling, loves seeing all the different places the world offers to her, and that includes space and different planets and maybe even parallel universes, and she accidentally ends up being an apprentice of the space ancient. For now she's probably a baby ancient of freedom or something like that, but she might become an ancient of space in the future.
We can also have something like Dan having a core of destruction or Dani being the Speed Force if you want it to be dcxdp, or any headcanon of yours about their cool powers.
And then there's Danny. And yeah, everyone knows that he's super powerful, but also he's just some guy.
It can go different routes. Does everyone know that Danny is just Danny? Or do they think that with siblings (well, technically a clone and an alternate version, but whatever) so powerful, he must be even stronger? Is Danny actually something terrifyingly eldritch and ancient and strong, almost a god, but he just doesn't know himself? Or is he just really some guy?
Now, because it's obvious that I have a dcxdp brainrot, have a regular "JL summons/meets a powerful ghost" but its Dan and Dani, and they keep mentioning their original/brother who won a fight against them at some point. The JL is very concerned about Dan and Dani's godlike powers, and they can't imagine what Danny is like. And then they meet him (in his human form), and it's just a young adult in casual clothes, very friendly and helpful, with no evident powers. Imagine the confusion. Imagine Dan and Dani, radiating power, in their eldritch ghost forms, admitting that fighting Danny for real is the dumbest thing to do and not even they would succeed... And then there's Danny is jeans and silly t-shirt, waving shyly.

a minor detail from the nereid in this scene had me wondering...
who is 'us'?
since it's a nereid speaking, are we to assume the nereid is speaking on behalf of all sea life, of atlantis? by extension, does this mean that the ocean has always been aware of percy?
i mean, at least in part that's a given- in the books, poseidon had cyclops checking in on percy. posiedon really isn't making much of an attempt to keep percy a secret, at least not from his own people/subjects.
it felt like a very interesting addition, this implication the sea is looking out for percy, cares for him in what is suggested to be an equal capacity to that of poseidon- the nereid is quick to make this comparison
already, we're having an emphasis on how poseidon claims to care for percy- which contrasts several other gods we've seen thus far (*cough*athena*cough*), and now we're also getting the suggestion that this sentiment for percy is shared by others of the ocean's domain.
there's always been a shared sense of belonging for percy when it comes to the water- at camp, when he meets the naiads he describes it as feeling like seeing long-lost family, over the books it's suggested percy spends a lot of time helping out sea life with their problems (including getting stuck in traps), and when we see atlantis we understand there's whole other civilisations that exist- with their own politics and bonds. atlantis is no different, an entire species of people, a whole ecosystem and political environment- a society. one that already expresses lament for not being able to involve themselves in percy's life until this point, or interact at all.
percy goes from having his mother, and struggling to ever find a place he belongs, to the possibility there's a whole other civilisation he may belong to, who care for him. imagine how conflicting that will feel.

'that scene' for doll parts
hmmm I think I started writing doll parts with a couple of scenes in mind that I actually didn’t end up writing or eventually cut out (fisting as always, for one thing, and also a little reflection on the difference between the sex Dean has with his Dad and the sex he has with other men— both of which are alluded to in the story but they’re obviously not fleshed out as scenes) —
What I really wanted the story to do though was to 1. capture a little of the self-loathing Dean feels about being a guy who has sex with his dad and to 2. seriously take “Dad used to send me away” from 14x12 and to have there be a cause and effect that relates back to their sexual relationship:
“Turn around,” he said, and Dean turned to face the stall wall and Dad was so close right there behind him, his hands sliding down Dean’s back and into the crack of his ass, the rough pads of his fingers just touching, pressing— fuck , getting him cleaned up, maybe, getting him ready— “Are you gonna fuck me?”
“Yeah,” Dad said. “Yeah, if you want. Do you want that?”
Dean stared down at his feet, the dark-green mildew at the seam between the wall and the floor, his chest heaving and his vision gone blurry from nothing but Dad prodding at him. “We can just hang out,” he said. “Watch TV. I don’t know, whatever you want.”
Dad hooked an arm across Dean’s chest, dragged him again under the water and wiped off the soapy residue from between his legs and his armpits and the thatch of hair above his dick. He held Dean, then. Just his arms around Dean’s ribs and his chest to Dean’s back and his fingers wandering and teasing, thumbs brushing at Dean’s nipples. “What do you want?” he asked, hot at the back of Dean’s neck, as if Dean could ever say no to him with his voice hoarse with hunger like that.
He bit the inside of his cheek and swallowed hard and said before he could think better of it, “Yeah. Okay. I want to— but—not if you leave after. Or make me leave.”
John punts the choice to Dean, because he wants Dean to want it on some level, but also to mitigate his own guilt, and Dean has to make the decision for both of them (or at least contemplate it) with the knowledge that his Dad is mercurial and there are repercussions — except he actually can’t say no, not necessarily out of coercion but actually out of genuine desire: he does want it, he just doesn’t want to deal with the after. (And of course because I’m a baby I let him not deal with the after! I always always want him to get what he wants, as much as I can.)
