play stupid games, win stupid prizes chapter 12

“You little—”

She cuts off his sentence, waving to Travis while increasing her pace towards the small DJ booth.

“How’s it going?”

“Good!” Travis responds, looking up from his phone.

“I’ll take first shift so you can see Katie,” Connor says, poking his head from behind the booth as he messes with some wires. Standing up he walks towards them with a smile.

“You look great Annabeth!”

She smiles back at him. “Thanks, you too!”

Connor grins. “Oh, I know.”

She raises an eyebrow at his confidence. “Do you? If so, then where is—”

“Alright, whatever,” he interrupts her teasing. “Everything is good, now go and take your snarling guard dog with you.”

She turns to see Percy standing by her side, he still hasn’t said a word this whole time, but honestly snarling guard dog isn’t that far off.

Failing at hiding her smile, she shakes her head and grabs Percy’s hand to pull him along. “Down boy.”

He shoots her and annoyed glance. “I’m not a fucking dog.”

“No? Then why are you snarling like one?” she teases, noticing that despite his frown he hasn’t pulled away from her grip.

“I’m not snarling!”

“Whatever you say!” She’s fully goading him at this point, and he knows it.

His eyes narrow as he’s undoubtedly about to strike back, but Rachel approaches them before he can.

“Hey Annabeth! The photobooth is all set up and…” she pauses, realizing Percy’s there and turns to him. “Oh, hi Percy!”

Now Annabeth knows that Rachel and Connor have this unspoken kind of thing going on, but for some reason her mouth doesn’t follow the logic and she ends up with a frown.

“Is everything okay?” Rachel asks, turning back to her and noticing the frown. Annabeth quickly schools her face into something passive.

“Yeah, sorry, just realized I need to ask Mr. Brunner something,” she replies, waving it off. Then with a smile she adds, “but it’s great to hear everything is set. You should let Connor know!”

And then she continues to pull Percy along, leaving a blushing Rachel behind.

“Who’s the dog now?” Percy teases as soon as they’re out of earshot.

She drops his hand, crossing her arms to look at him. “Still you.”

Percy is not done gloating though. “Oh, but you were jealous!”

She rolls her eyes. Why did she ever feel the need to kiss him again?

“You want me to be Jackson, doesn’t mean I was.”

“Oh, so you wouldn’t care if I went to go hang out with her then?”

Something inside her flares at the words. (Because it’s rude to leave your date and she thinks manners are important.)

“You trying to run away from me?”

Percy’s gloating grin immediately disappears and she wonders if maybe she said the wrong thing. Or maybe she just said too much.

He approaches her slowly, getting closer and closer causing her heart rate to spike with every step until, finally, he grabs her hand and pulls her closer to him.

“You’re not getting rid of me that easily princess.”

She looks up to meet his darkened eyes. “Good.”

you, rainbow, and i, gray

Written for day four: colours, but could also apply to fluff!

Bianca di Angelo sees people in colours. Usually, each person is one colour. However, Rachel Elizabeth Dare seems to be every colour at once.

@them-awesome-rarepairs

read on ao3!

Bianca sorts people in colours. Nico is dark green, Hades is deep, deep maroon, and Maria is gold, beautiful gold.

They are all usually one colour.

Even after Bianca came to camp, most people she met were one colour.

Percy is a deep, deep unending blue with a tinge of purple. Annabeth is bright red-orange. Connor Stoll is yellow to his brother Travis's orange, and Katie Gardner is yellow-green, a lovely chartreuse. Thalia is a shocking orange, Grover a bright, sunny yellow.

They're all one colour.

Of course, when people die, they turn gray (Thalia's face flashes in Bianca's mind, her formerly bold orange turning into a gray and suddenly-).

Bianca is a colour too, of course, a plain but nice gray. Exactly like Pantone's neutral gray. She is nothing but plain, it seems, but Bianca is also death. Death, like the gray she is (Castor turns gray from lovely green as Bianca watches-).

But with the years come new revelations, with everyone seemingly coming in so many colours. Nico's settled into a pale yellow, Percy's become more purple as time's gone on, Annabeth's red-orange is stained by a little gray these days (it's not death yet but inching towards ever so because they're all child soldiers-).

Bianca hasn't changed. Not a bit. Because Bianca is the gray slightly off of death because Bianca is death. Bianca cannot be anything but death.

Well, people seemed to be one colour until Rachel Elizabeth Dare came along.

«»

See, Bianca first meets Rachel when Percy decided they needed one-on-one time (for no apparent reason, why did they need that?) and Bianca did nothing but acquisition because really, what could she do?

So Bianca's pretty surprised when Percy shows up with Rachel Elizabeth Dare, for two reasons.

First off, she thought this was one-on-one time of 'older cousins' club (which is really cousins-except-for-Nico club, because Bianca does not always want to be with Nico now that she can), not 'older cousins and some really pretty girl Percy is friends with' club.

Second off, Rachel is every colour ever, at the same time. Rachel is red and orange and yellow and green and blue and purple and everything in-between at the same time.

Well, Rachel isn't a neutral - isn't brown, black, beige, white, or gray. Rachel is achingly alive, in all her infinities, with every single colour. Bianca knows death, and Rachel is the opposite.

But Rachel smiles, and apologizes - something about her parents being insufferable - but Bianca isn't listening because Rachel's every single colour ever.

Her orange hair and green eyes and blue overalls and yellow undershirt and red shoes and purple hair-streaks and everything else, the paint coating her overalls in a million different shades all seem to reflect Rachel.

(She's like a blooming garden, in a way, with every single colour all over the place)

"So, yeah," Rachel concludes. "That being said, what about you?"

"Oh, I'm working on this art project-"

"You do art? Me too!"

(They end up spending that entire conversation basically ignoring Percy, much to his chagrin)

«»

"So... did you like her?"

"You couldn't tell?"

Percy relaxes. "Good. Annabeth doesn't, and I just kind of need someone who's a demigod- not to say that Grover and Tyson are anything close to bad, just-"

"I get it, idiot. Rachel's cool."

Percy smiles, but it's slightly strained, so Bianca raises an eyebrow.

"What's going on with Annabeth."

"You're not going to let me say nothing, are you?"

"Of course not."

"Well, she's just not really talking to me anymore? And it feels like we're drifting apart, which is really terrible, so..."

Bianca nods. "So. Annabeth's probably struggling with something. Just talk to her."

"I'll try that, thanks."

Bianca smiles.

"Also, Rachel has been pestering me to get your number."

"Has she now?"

"Yeah, so can I?"

Bianca shrugs. "Why not?"

«»

"Charcoals are nice," Rachel agrees. "But I prefer colour. Actually, I've been trying to help Percy with art-"

"He's completely useless!"

"Exactly! And so I was attempting to try art with him-"

"I'm so sorry."

Rachel laughs, a lovely sound coming from somewhere in her heart, all multicoloured. "Yeah. Anyway, he's actually great at watercolours and gouache, which, in hindsight, isn't much of a surprise."

"Fair enough. But you do know that means we have to force him to come along if we ever use watercolours?"

"Assuming we meet up more?"

"Naturally."

"Alright. Anyway, what's your favourite medium?"

"It's so expensive, but I like paint - and between acrylic and oil, oil is definitely better."

"I can probably get oil paint," Rachel says. "Art supplies are expensive but my dad's also a billionaire."

"Even though you hate him?"

Rachel shrugs, then frowns. "He's... terrible. I feel guilty buying anything, because everything is paid by him and his terrible practices."

Bianca nods. "Are you his... heir or something?"

Rachel shakes his head. "No. I have a cousin... it'll be his."

"Old men?"

Rachel laughs a little. "Old men."

«»

"And then, he got angry at me," Drew complains. "Like, hon, I'm the one trying to make sure your love life isn't trash. Not my fault if she doesn't like you back."

Bianca nods. Drew's colour is a comforting sweet pink, a pale, pale, pink that's pretty nonetheless.

"That being said, what's up with you?" Drew squints at Bianca. "Oh, I've got it. You're in love..."

"No, I'm not!" Bianca blushes despite herself anyways.

"Bee, my dear, you forget I can literally see love, or crushes, or infatuation, as long as it’s romantic. I know you have a crush on someone. Now, spill."

Bianca rolls her eyes. "So Percy has a mortal friend-"

"Oh, that Rachel girl? Annabeth's totally jealous."

"Huh, interesting. Yes, it's Rachel."

"So, what does she look like?"

"She has really curly red hair and green eyes - like Oracle green, I'm not even lying."

"Oracle green eyes?" Drew smiles. "You'll have to introduce me to her. But also, there's something you're not telling me."

"You know how I see people in colours, right?"

Drew nods. "And what shade is she?"

"Rachel isn't one shade. She's like... every shade but neutrals all at the same time."

"Ooh. Either you're in love-"

"Unlikely, it was from first sight, and colours don't work like that-"

"-or she's special."

"I can tell why people laud at your intelligence."

"They do the opposite, actually. I've heard multiple people talking about how dumb I am."

"Drew-"

"Enough about me."

"We're going back to that later, if you insist."

"I’m not going to get you to let it go, am I?”

“No. Drew, you’re one of the smartest people I know! They’re wrong.”

“They’re probably right. I barely scrape by As as it is.”

“Those are great grades, and besides that, who else knows exactly what someone’s strengths and weaknesses are at first glance? Who else knows exactly how to comfort people?”

Drew smiles. “I know. Anyway, tell me more about Rachel.”

“Fine.”

«»

“What do you think about mixed media?”

Bianca grins. “I love it! Watercolour and gouache and coloured pencil are all fun to use together in particular.”

Rachel’s eyes light up. “I hadn’t considered that. I usually use paint and pen, if I’m mixing media. Mixing media? Is that a thing?”

“I have absolutely no idea.”

“Then I shall use it anyway. That being said, in a monochromatic palette, what colour?”

“Blueish gray, usually. You?”

“I can never choose, you know? Sometimes I want green, or purple, but then I want some other colour. I usually end up with some random colour that’s appropriate to the scene rather than a scene appropriate to the colour.”

“That makes sense.”

The room dissolves into a comfortable silence once more, only broken by brush strokes, water dips, and gentle paint.

"I'm glad Percy introduced us," Rachel states.

"I'm glad too."

«»

"You're never around anymore," Nico states.

"Yes, I am. You're just rebellious."

Nico frowns. "What have you been doing?"

"I've just been a little busy. You know Percy's friend Rachel?"

"Yes."

"We've been talking."

Nico squints up at Bianca. "Talking."

"Yes, talking."

"Are you dating her?"

"No!"

"I don't believe you."

"We're not dating, Nico."

"You should."

"Nico!"

«»

"So, uh..." Rachel begins.

"Yeah?"

"Would you, uh, like to call this a date?"

Bianca blinks, then smiles. "Oh, oh, uh, yeah."

Rachel suddenly laughs. "We're so stupid about this."

"We are, aren't we?"

"Anyway, how do I tell Percy I'm going on a date with his cousin?”

"Let me tell him."

«»

least favourite cousin bee aunt uh: i'm going on a date with rachel purse sea: oh okay purse sea: WAIT WHAT bee aunt uh: correction i am on a date with rachel purse sea: how am i going to shovel talk rachel. or you. i need to choose. bee aunt uh: you can shovel talk us both idiot purse sea: okay good that's the plan bee aunt uh: unfortunately you’d suck at shovel talks purse sea: HEY

Rehearsal dinner

Hey everyone! I started rewriting my series and put in a lot of extra scene and I thought you might enjoy them! The ask box is always open xxx

Annabeth planted her face on the mattress in the bridal suite the moment she stepped inside. As soon as they reached the hotel they were swarmed by the wedding planner, the chef, the flower consultant, the DJ and various other people.

“Come on, Annabeth. We have to get going.” Piper said as she dropped on the floor her bags. “Although the bed looks very comfortable.”

“It is.” She replied still hugging the pillows.

“I guess we have time for a quick nap.” Piper lied next to her best friend.

“Nope, not a chance.” Rachel entered the room and dragged Annabeth who groaned in response. “We have a shit ton to do before the day is over. One of which is the rehearsal for tomorrow. So I suggest you take your pretty heals out of the box and go downstairs were the rest are waiting for you.” Piper threw her a dirty look. “Annabeth put me in charge for not letting her procrastinating and leaving everything for the last minute.”

“You’re right. And thank you so much for being here for me.” Annabeth said as she took her wedding heels out of the suitcase.

“Don’t even mention it. You and Percy are like my closest friends at the moment. I would it again.” Rachel said and dragged Piper out of the bed. “Come on, McLean. We need you as well.”

“Fine, let’s do it.”

The three of them made their way to the garden where the wedding would be held. It overlooked the sea which was one of the main reasons why they chose to do it there. “Annabeth, it’s good to see you.” Sally said and pulled her in a tight embrace.

“When did you get here? I told Percy to call me.” Annabeth replied.

“Just now. Is everything under control? Anything you need help with?”

“No, you don’t have to worry about anything. Just relax and have fun.” She encouraged her soon to be mother-in-law.

“Finally! Annabeth we’re waiting for you!” Connor shouted from the other side of the garden where Connor, Malcolm, Travis, Katie, Hazel, Nico and Frank were sitting along with some of hers and Percy’s friends from college.

“We’ll catch up later.” Sally said and let her be.

As she walked closer to her friends, she noticed Percy wearing his aviator sunglasses and the first three buttons of his shirt being unbuttoned which made her a bit warm and heated. “Sorry, I kept all of you and thanks for being here.” She said as Hazel gave her a warm smile. She and Percy had actually fought over who was getting Hazel in their wedding party. At the end Percy won as he knew her longer and they spent more time together.

“Don’t mind Connor. He is an impatient moron who has the attention spam of a 2-year-old.” Katie said as she got up to give her a quick hug.

“Rubbish. Annabeth knows I love her, don’t you Annie?” Connor winked which only won him another glare from Katie.

“How about we start our rehearsal?” Rachel suggested.

“Wait, I have to get Stella.” Percy said as he got out of his seat. That gave Annabeth some time to catch up with everyone. She was glad everyone could make it and especially Evelyn and Susannah, her best friends from Berkeley. She was deep in conversation with Malcolm when someone hugged her tightly. “Hi Annabeth.” Estelle said excitedly.

“There is my girl. I missed you so much!” Annabeth said excitedly to her.

“I missed you too!” Estelle exclaimed. “I’m so happy you are getting married!”

“Me too, Stella.” Annabeth said as she put her hand around her. “Come on, we have to practise for tomorrow.”

An hour and four baskets of flowers down the aisle later everyone was having lunch and enjoying the rare occasion of being all together. Percy was sitting next to Annabeth and whilst everyone was in deep conversation he placed his hand on her thigh. “That’s not a good idea.” She whispered which only made Percy smile.

“It’s an excellent idea. We can go upstairs, take a nice shower together and then come back here. Nobody is going to realise we’re even gone.” He argued with a smirk Annabeth wanted so much to put off him.

“I’ll be all flushed afterwards, and I won’t be able to concentrate.” She replied. “And we both know that a shower isn’t going to be enough.” She said in an even more hushed tone. “We’ll have a whole month in Greece to have showers together.”

Percy paused and Annabeth imagined what was going on in that head of his. “I am not making any promises.”

“We’ll see.” Annabeth smiled.

“You’re so lucky about spending your honeymoon in Greece.” Suzanna sighed. “Do you have place for one more?”

“You’re spending the summer in Malaysia, Sue.” Annabeth replied. “And we’ll be occupied the whole month.”

“You better be. Take advantage of the yatchs and the beds you can find.” Evelyn stated. “That’s what I would do.”

“Yet you’re still single.” Susannah said.

“It’s by choice. And I’d rather die than be committed to a person for the rest of my life. No offense, Annabeth.”

“None taken. I don’t think I would be in a relationship if it wasn’t for Percy.”

“Aww, that’s so sweet, love.” Percy said and kissed her.

“My point is you don’t need to be in a relationship to feel fulfilled.” Annabeth added as her fingers intertwined with Percy’s.

“Thank you.” Evelyn said as she motioned to a server to bring her another Margarita.

“Annabeth! Percy!” Frederick said as he reached their seats.

“Hey dad. I’m glad you could make it.” Annabeth hugged her dad.

“The boys and Helen are putting our stuff in the room, and they’ll be right here.” He replied. “Evelyn, Susannah, it’s great to see you again.”

“Right back at you, Dr C.” Evelyn replied. “How is your latest book coming?”

“It’s good. I still have a lot of work left, but I’m fine with the deadlines.” Her father replied.

“When we come back from the honeymoon, I’ll come to help you with the currents and the ships.” Percy said.

Which was a really bad way to put his expertise with the wave and ship movements in different historical battles. When they had moved to New Rome, after Percy spent some time with Annabeth’s father they found out that his knowledge about the sea where deeper than what they imagined. He fixated on the Punic wars and various sea battles that even managed to make Frederick forget about the historical aircrafts. Talking of Frederick, he had helped Percy with his college dissertation on Naval history and he decided to write a new book with the help of his son-in-law.

“You go and have fun. We’ll talk about your help after you come back and make the Olympic team.”

“I am not sure I’ll even make the team.” Percy noted which caused the group to roll their eyes. “I’m being realistic here. I don’t have the same stamina I had when I was 18.”

“Poor grandpa. Do you need a wheelchair at the ripe age of 22.” Evelyn mocked him which earned her a kick from Susannah.

“I appreciate your touch with reality, Percy. Even though the chances of you not making the time are the same with Evelyn not getting wasted tomorrow.” Susannah said. She gathered her things and got up. “It’s already 5:30. I’ll start getting ready. Ev, are you coming?”

“In a bit. I’ll finish my drink first.”

Susannah waved them goodbye and made her way upstairs. Her vacant sit was soon filled with Matthew who threw Frederick the keys. “Hey Matt.” Annabeth said. “Where is Bobby?”

“He found a nice girl by the pool, so you know.” He said like it was a frequent event.

“How is lacrosse going?” Percy asked him. For as long as he had known Matthew, he knew that he loved talking about lacrosse more than life itself. Bobby on the other hand, played ice hockey which was ironic as they lived in San Francisco their entire lives.

“We won our final and I’ll be playing next year in Duke.” He added. “I’ll head to North Carolina earlier to practise with the team.”

“So, it’s final. Duke it is.”

“Oh yes. They have a killer lacrosse programme and a really good science department.” He gushed.

“Not one of my children will follow my footsteps.” Frederick said half-joking.

“Don’t worry, dad. Percy has a history degree.” Matt highlighted, which made Percy smile a bit. “But it isn’t like he is going to teach the other guys on the team about the Punic wars.”

“First of all, Matt, I haven’t made the squad yet.”

Annabeth jumped in before he could continue, “Secondly, it’s an English and History degree.”

“I wasn’t going to say that.” Percy said to his fiancée.

“I said it. Because you don’t brag enough about your degree.” She smiled. She was always his number 1 fan. Whether it was with swimming or with his sudden interest in history and linguistics. That fried his brain, but at the end it was all worth it. He knew that when he would eventually have to stop swimming, that he wanted to become a teacher and help kids just like him.

“And you’re going to make the squad. I’ve seen your stats, Percy. And they are wicked.” Matthew encouraged him.

Rachel came over to them, “I think it’s time to start getting ready. It’s already 7 and the room will be ready at 8.”

With that everyone got up, to go and get ready. “Can you zip me up?” Annabeth asked Percy as she put on her dress for the evening.

“I usually unzip your dresses.” Percy noted as he kissed her shoulder before zipping her dress. “Wow, you look amazing.”

Annabeth found herself blushing over Percy’s comment. “You don’t look bad yourself.” She said. ‘of course he doesn’t look bad!’ her brain noted. In a crisp ironed suit with top button unbuttoned and the cologne that was making it really hard for her to not ditch the dinner and spend the evening locked up in the room with him.

“You need help with anything else?”

“Just take my phone. It’s charging.” Annabeth said as she put on her heels and took a final look at herself. She didn’t care much about her looks until she started hanging out with Susannah and Evelyn who loved fashion and nice clothes. Then, Annabeth got her first high paying job and thought that it wouldn’t be bad to invest in some quality pieces for work. “Let’s go.” She said as Percy took her hand.

The rehearsal dinner ran smoothly, and the food was immaculate. Rachel wasn’t joking about her chef friend. She had to remember to get the recipe to the chocolate cake at some point. After they finished eating they laughed around for a while, and they all said stories from the good old days.

Percy couldn’t help but notice that Annabeth’s stepmother had remained silent the whole evening and barely touched her plate which aggravated Bobby and Matthew that Percy caught arguing quietly with their mother. He just hoped that Helen didn’t have anything planned to wreck Annabeth’s good mood. She was crushed after the whole Thalia situation, and she didn’t need someone else to destroy her happiness. Family or not, Percy would kick her out of the wedding even at the cost of Frederick’s friendship.

Grover who had gone to the buffet, brought Percy another filled plate with food. “Thank you.” He said before he grabbed his fork.

“You were serious about the heightened appetite.” He noted. “How do you keep eating so much and looking even better?” It was true. His appearance had changed dramatically since he was 18 when he first started swimming professionally. He was exercising so much that his body couldn’t compare to what he looked like when he was off fighting monsters. That also meant that he ate twice of what he used to which turned out to be an inside joke of his friend group.

“Grover, are you trying to steal my good looking soon to be husband?” Annabeth asked her friend.

“There still is time, Annie.” Grover said in all seriousness.

“You don’t need to fight over me. My heart has enough space for both of you.” Percy encouraged them. “My best friend and the love of my life.”

“I’m the love of your life?” Grover gasped as he tackled Percy with a hug.

“Whatever makes you sleep at night, Grover.”

“Don’t be mean.” He pouted.

“I am not being mean, and you know that.” She argued.

“Annabeth, we’ll see you tomorrow.” Frederick said as he kissed his daughter on the cheek. Helen didn’t utter a single word to her.

“See you tomorrow.” Annabeth replied as her father and stepmother left.

Bobby motioned to Percy to come to where he and Matthew were standing. “I’ll be back in a bit.”

“Your mum wanted to talk to me, so I’ll just see you tomorrow at the wedding.” Annabeth said and kissed him.

“I’ll be waiting for you at the end of the aisle.” He smiled.

“I wouldn’t want it to be any other way.”

Percy got to where he realised Bobby and Matt were smoking. “Are you supposed to be smoking?”

“Nope.” Bobby replied. “We need to talk to you.”

“It’s about our parents.” Matthew explained them. “You probably realised that mum isn’t happy to be here.”

“Yes, she made it quite obvious.” Percy said trying to stay calm and not say anything he was going to regret later on. “What’s up?”

“They are getting divorced.” Bobby said. “In the next few months. They haven’t said anything yet, but it’s clear as the ocean.”

“Plus we caught dad talking with the lawyer the other day.”

“But what does it have to do with Annabeth?”

“Annabeth is the reason they are getting divorced.” Matthew announced. “Dad finally realised that the way mum was acting around Annabeth when she was a kid wasn’t fair and that caused a lot of arguments. Plus, she threw a tantrum last night about not wanting to drop everything to come today which you can imagine didn’t go down well with the new and improved Frederick.”

“We wanted to tell you because you deserve to know. Being a member of the family and all. And don’t worry about our mum. She isn’t going to act out or anything. We’ve made it crystal clear to her that she is a tantrum away of us not coming home for Christmas if she keeps up.��

Percy was stunned he wanted to say so many things to the two 18-year-olds next to him, but he didn’t know were to start. “I’m sorry about your parents.”

“It’s fine, Percy. It’s like Annabeth says. Dad’s true love is History. He cares about our mum, but he can’t love her. And he has learned to care more about his kids which is great. Annabeth deserves a chance to heal from all the trauma they caused her. She deserves the father we had growing up.” Bobby added.

“You’re going to be a great psychologist.” Percy said to him.

“I know. Our point is that their relationship is on its last string. When we pack our stuff for college, we are vacating our rooms as next summer there won’t be a house to return to.”

“All you have to do is when Annabeth finds out, to tell her that it isn’t her fault and that it never was.” Matthew stated. “We are their last link, but the more time dad spends with you and Annabeth the more he realises that he should have called off their wedding the moment Annabeth ran away.”

“We don’t want to ruin your mood or anything, but we wanted to tell you as soon as possible. And it’s also our way of saying that we trust you to take care of our sister.” Bobby said half-smiling. “Although we never had our doubts.”

“Thank you guys. I won’t let you down.”

“We’re sure.”

Reading The Hidden Oracle: Chapter 11 (SPOILERS)

Check your spam folder / The prophecies might be there I checked there already. They're not there :(

"Thanks. You're really tall. Don't you hit your head on light fixtures?" Great first impression, Meg. Also, what twelve year old calls them light fixtures?

"My two greatest loves were, of course, Daphne and Hyacinthus" I KNEW IT! I called it! It's Daphne! Also, "thirty-three mortal girlfriends and eleven mortal boyfriends" doesn't seem like a lot considering Apollo has three or more demigod children close in age right now and there's no indication that this is out of the ordinary. Sounds like he has flings every year or so, so I'd expect his number or significant annoyances to be in the hundreds. Must be his swiss cheese memory.

"Actually, Travis went off to college last autumn, which has mellowed Connor quite a bit." Aw, is he missing his brother? Separating Connor and Travis feels really weird, actually. It doesn't seem right.

"Gorgon-hair chandelier" Lmao a cute, slithery chandelier. Just what I like to see hanging over my head in any room.

"Chiron did a poor job hiding his disappointment. 'I see...'" This is hilarious to picture: the only two adults around who are supposed to be in charge and know what's going on just staring at each other like "You got this? You were supposed to got this!"

"With Python back in residence at his old lair, the spirit of the Oracle has been completely blocked." I knew it. He's gotta fight the Big Snake.

"Prophecies don't simply foretell the future. They shape it! They allow the future to happen." OH. That's news to me. So when a prophecy is told, that doesn't mean it was going to happen anyway? Instead, it's like laying down sidewalk tiles for the future to walk on and tread forward? That's a really cool and interesting concept. I love it.

Meg relates to garden metaphors? Yup, she's a Demeter kid. Another child of the eldest gods. That, or a related minor god/goddess.

Wtf, no communication is working? We haven't even gotten to the disappearances yet (other than Rachel) and it already sounds like the apocalypse is settling in. Even Iris? Were she and Hermes captured or incapacitated somehow? Is Apollo going to have to save his brother?

"Then the disappearances started." Gods above, this is starting to sound like a horror movie. "First it was Cecil Markowitz from the Hermes cabin." NO NOT CECIL. No one saw him go, no sign of wanting to leave... Someone pulled a Hera, or he was abducted by clowns, or he noclipped out of existence into the Backrooms, or... idk. And two other campers are missing, too. This has very suddenly become a detective mystery novel and I like it.

"When the giants started to wake, I drew up a very clear Twenty-Point Plan of Action" And still Zeus chose to blame Apollo for the war? Must've been a really bad plan of action.

"I'd seen that keen look in Chiron's eyes before . . . It was the look of a seasoned coach scouting new talent. I'd never dreamed the centaur would look at me that way . . . I felt so... so objectified." YEAH, HOW'S IT FEEL? Seriously, I love that the book is going into topics like this.

PULLING YOU IN FOR A KISS WITH A SCARF

The night is warm. Annabeth’s cheeks heat with the flush of wine—by now they likely match the red of her Christmas sweater, a thick turtleneck that tickles her jaw. Charles stokes the flames at the fireplace for the first time in the new house, filling the room with the smell of oak and cedar and replacing the smell of dinner lingering in the air. An earnest Rachel chirps over Charles’ shoulder about how to interpret and “read” the flame, which he indulges with the silent amusement only he possesses. Katie and Travis are in a playful argument that will culminate in a kiss any minute, Grover is passing out hot cocoa (with extra marshmallows for Annabeth), and the others are screeching an off-key rendition of “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, which is particularly remarkable when you consider Clarisse singing along with her spiked cider raised high.

Most importantly, warmth emanates from under her where Percy sits with his arm around her waist and a soft smile on his face. He looks so serene, taken out of the moment the way one does in a flash of sudden clarity that they are currently creating a memory they will long to come back to, looking through the lens of nostalgia for a moment they are still in. Somehow Annabeth is in that moment with him, watching their friends through grainy film and hearing them as though the audio plays in the next room over. Everything is muted, glossy, and so so warm.

Percy comes back to himself and presses his lips to Annabeth’s cheek, smiling against the heat of her skin. His hand lifts from her hip to point at the reckless carolers supporting each other with firm embraces and shaky harmonies. “They’re idiots,” he says, but he says it with that smile and it sounds an awful lot like I love them.

“Yeah,” she sighs. “They really are.”

Later in the night once the idiots have been rounded up and herded out the door, Annabeth pauses in the foyer to watch them stumble gleefully, fighting over who gets shotgun in Juniper’s car (Grover) and who gets stuck in the middle seat (Connor). Snow falls softly and settles on Rachel’s curls as she tugs Clarisse’s beanie over her buzz cut and past her eyes, cackling alongside Castor and Pollux and the rest of the gang. Laughter and clinking glass echo from the kitchen where Silena and Beckendorf stayed behind.

The city is cold but the world is warm and full of people Annabeth loves, and therefore it is full of meaning. She turns to Percy, her coat rustling with the movement, and tries to hang on to this warmth, to the man who brought so much of it into her life.

She says, “Thank you,” and it sounds like I love you. It sounds like I love you and it means I love you but there is wine in her system and she’s two seconds away from crying after drinking on an ordinary day with less emotions. If he asks her, she’ll blame the wine and the holidays.

But Percy doesn’t ask her. He finishes pulling on his scarf and coat and looks at her, just looks at her, patient and understanding and in love, the way he has looked at her for the past ten years of their life. Annabeth marvels at her ability to bask in the familiarity of this love. She knows the details of him better than anything; he is the one portrait she can sketch from memory, a monument to permanence in her heart, and still her gaze catches on his freckles even in the winter months when there is no sun to change them. Just in case she misses one.

So she knows he will respond, “Of course,” in that soft tone of his, and she’s ready when his arms wrap around her bundled body. This man, her life partner who drives her crazy in the most maddening and romantic of ways, has given her more than she could ever hope to repay, and he loves her anyway. When her mind plays tricks and plants seeds of doubt, he reassures her. He shows up. Every single time, he shows up.

Their friends are long since corralled by their designated drivers, leaving Percy and Annabeth in the headlights. She pulls him in by the scarf, and they don’t say anything, but it sounds like I love you. Thank you for bringing me in from the cold. Thank you for bringing me home.

hello darlings i'm here with more malconnor hcs cause i'm too lazy to write a fic and it's 2 am

they don't know sally too well, but they still go to the candy store she used to work at because malcolm overheard percy bragging to annabeth about how good it is

they love to go to the city and steal from homophobes & rich people (its their ideal date <3) also graffiti! malcolm likes art and connor likes breaking rules so it's a win-win

they organize pride events at chb each year

shit like rainbow painted cabins + glitter happens

nico's cabin is also painted rainbow and almost murders someone before will calms him down (however that is off topic and we shall address that another day)

i see your "travis and katie go on double dates with them" and raise you: drew and billie go on double dates with them because connor and drew are chaotic besties and billie and malcolm should be calming them down but will they? no

connor hugs malcolm from behind a lot, usually when malcolm is trying to study or draw blueprints or something (malcolm pretends to be annoyed but he loves his bf and they both know it)

closer to him you are, the more attention connor requires. malcolm was pleasantly surprised to learn this when connor kept just...plopping his head on malcolm's lap randomly. he's very touch-starved

when malcolm finishes something, like blueprints or taking notes for something, he'll find connor and bury himself into his side and takes a nap. in his defense, he stayed up for a while and he's tired.

you know @/liperbicons's hc about them going to the lake? pretend that's my idea for a bit ok thanks i need more content

malcolm is a he/they only attracted to make homo sapiens :)

connor is bi💖

they talk about how they hate that luke and silena were forgiven because they died (because let's be honest, they shouldn't have been forgiven which wouldn't have happened if clarisse wasn't gay for silena)

they start many prank wars at camp, mainly between their friend group (mitchell, lou, cecil, ellis, billie, drew, will, nico, travis, & rachel) but occasionally the rest of camp gets involved too

they aren't between cabins, it's just whoever wants to be on what side (lou, cecil, drew, malcolm, and connor are lethal on the same side)

hey i know i already said this, but malcolm buys connor flowers, who gets flustered, and malcolm thinks it's adorable (katie grows them for him). i need to emphasize that one for some reason

they also love seeing magnus and the rest of floor 19 because chaos

mallory and connor are also best friends and bonded over fucking with homophobes (gunilla?? dead?? where??)

me writing connabeth headcanons? more likely than you’d think

so we already established that they had puppy crushes on each other, and connor’s never really went away even though annabeth’s did (imma say the end of the summer after tlt/ into the school year around where she started sending pictures of her trips to percy)

connor’s puppy crush was a full blown crush by the time the som summer came to a close, and it always kind of hurt to see her with percy constantly and have him be sidelined, and when she kissed percy’s cheek after the chariot race? his heart shattered

he didn’t blame her though, how could he? it’s not like she knew he liked her.

and really, if percy made her smile like that, who was he to try and take that away?

around the time it became painfully obvious to everyone except percy and annabeth they they liked each other (after ttc ish) there was this daughter of apollo who came to camp and connor and her instantly hit it off. he really liked her and she was a great friend and he started pouring all of his energy into this relationship so his crush on annabeth faded a little and now it was focused on this girl

except connor still does like annabeth, he’s just tricking himself into thinking he doesn’t

he decides during that summer that he’s not going to pursue annabeth because anyone with eyes can see that she is practically in love with percy and he’s in love with her too

he actually ends up dating that other girl for a few months (until botl summer) but his heart isn’t fully in it.

he’s very much in a state of “if we were both single and you asked…” with annabeth

so along comes botl summer

percy’s got rachel now, and connor is very suspicious

its so fucking obvious that he loves annabeth at this point, so why is he hanging around with rachel? connor is like🤔

and annabeth is super upset and won’t really talk to anyone. he can tell she’s started to close herself off from percy too

she finds her way back to connor, and for the majority of that summer the two are inseparable

percy of course notices this when he is at camp and is like “the fuck??”

percy’s not very happy to say the least. he doesn’t really understand why annabeth is shutting him out because obviously rachel is one of his closer friends and he’s been hanging out with her just because he needed a break from all the chaos at camp (and seeing annabeth so much reminds him that he’s going to have this prophecy hanging over his head in about a year and it hurts to think that something could happen to him and he’d never get to see her again, so in his head if he starts detaching himself now it won’t hurt as bad)

but percy doesn’t like rachel. she’s a great friend and that’s all he sees her as because he’s so infatuated with annabeth

annabeth obviously thinks that him and rachel are a thing and it pains her to see him with someone who isn’t her, but if he’s going to spend his last year with someone who makes him happy (someone who isn’t her), she guesses she’ll be able to live with it. all she really wants is for him to be happy.

there’s a lot of tension between the four of them (annabeth&rachel, percy&connor, annabeth&percy) and specifically with p, a, and c at camp.

everyone is basically watching the three of them all summer like: 👀🔍🔍

there’s this one day where annabeth walks up to connor (he’s playing volleyball or something) and grabs his arm and just drags him with her

she ends up pulling her with him to the strawberry fields and she turns to face him (she hasn’t said a word to him since she started pulling him with her, let alone looked at him) and her eyes are glassed over and tears are threatening to spill. her cheeks are red and she looks so broken and all connor can think about is how he was going to seriously fuck up whoever did that to her.

she doesn’t say anything but she starts crying and throws herself at him and buries her head in his shoulder

he moves to sit down and he sits there and holds her and rubs her back and plays with the ends of her hair while she cries and his heart hurts for her even though he’s not sure what’s wrong yet.

eventually she lifts her head and she’s sniffling and definitely got snot on his shirt and her eyes are puffy and he asks her a silent question with his eyes and she takes a deep breath and sighs heavily

eventually when she’s ready to talk she tells him that she iris messaged percy to find out if he was coming back to camp that night and to tell him that if he was he was going to be on her capture the flag team, but apparently he was with rachel and didn’t realized that she had called.

all annabeth heard was “…needed to get away from Annabeth. I didn’t–” and that was enough for her. she immediately ended the call and went to go find connor because she didn’t want to be alone

what annabeth didn’t hear is that percy was actually telling rachel that it was just super hard to be around her knowing that he might not make it through next year

annabeth and connor spend a few hours just sitting in the field talking about whatever, and they’re too caught up in their feelings of nostalgia because it’s been ages since they’ve sat down and had a lengthy conversation and they skip dinner.

the sun is setting and it’s almost time for capture the flag (which percy was in fact coming back to camp for) and the two of them were still in the field, except now they’re both lying on the ground looking up at the stars and connor is pointing out some of the constellations that him and annabeth learned together and annabeth is tucked into his side, her head on that spot right between his chest and his arm, and the arm her head is half on is also slightly wrapped around her shoulder

the two of them have every intention to stay out there and skip capture the flag, but then they hear a familiar voice calling out annabeth’s name as he walks through the field

“Annabeth? Capture the flag is getting ready to start. I was told to come…find you”

the first thing percy feels is jealousy because he can’t count how many times him and annabeth have gone out to the field to look at the stars together the same ones she’s looking at with someone who’s not him

by the time either of them register what’s happening percy is standing 20 yards away and staring at the two of them, annabeth still tucked into connor’s side.

annabeth sits up as quick as she can but part of her was telling her to just stay where she was. the other part (the one that’s in love with him) was saying that she should hurry up and try to make up a story about what was happening

she’s mad at percy right now anyway, so why should she explain anything to him? as far as she knows, he didn’t want to be around her. so why does she feel so guilty?

maybe it’s because the look on his face is enough to break her heart

she stands up and brushes the grass from her legs and connor stands up beside her. she swears she catches percy glaring at him out of the corner of her eye, but when she looks back at him it’s gone and a smile (that looks awfully fake) has replaced whatever she thinks she saw.

“thank you for telling us” she says

connor doesn’t really have an expression on his face when he says “yeah, thanks. let’s go get ready, Chasey” and he grabs her hand and pulls her back towards the dining pavilion.

percy is just standing in the field trying to process what just happened because why the fuck is annabeth with connor? are they together? did she not tell percy?

percy’s not an idiot, he knows connor likes annabeth (so does everyone except annabeth)

hell, connor liked annabeth before percy ever came to camp, and he knows they were best friends before he took that spot, so why is he so jealous? he hangs out with rachel all the time even though annabeth is his best friend, why is the two of them hanging out any different?

maybe it’s because annabeth never cuddled up to percy like that while they watched the stars

both the hermes cabin and athena cabin are on the same team for capture the flag, and obviously percy is on annabeth’s team.

percy definitely didn’t accidentally soak connor while he was jumping over the creek.

he’s not sure why he did it, all he knows is that he saw connor and instantly got angry. he’s not even really sure if he did it or if the water was simply responding to his anger.

flash forward a few weeks and percy is hanging out with rachel even more so in turn annabeth is spending even more time with connor

the two of them are closer than they’ve been in years and annabeth is super confused about her feelings because she likes percy, but percy isn’t the one who’s there for her right now. percy is chosing rachel over her (keeping in mind annabeth still doesn’t know the real reason percy is avoiding her), but connor? connor is there and he’s giving her his undivided attention and it feels good to have someone acknowledging her.

meanwhile percy is battling with his own feelings because after the labyrinth he was beginning to think that annabeth liked him (since she seemed super jealous of rachel and also she kissed him and also because beckendorf was like 😏😏)

but maybe she doesn’t? maybe she likes connor and doesn’t think of him as anything more than her best friend (although it’s beginning to feel more like ex best friend)

beckendorf finally talks some sense into him and says that he knows of like 4 people who like annabeth and that silena told him annabeth likes percy ( “and she kissed you? dude, she likes you. I don’t know what else you need, Perce”), and that if percy doesn’t do something about it soon he might not get his chance with annabeth.

percy decides that he’s going to talk to annabeth that night at one of travis’ secret only-the-campers-that-matter parties.

when he shows up he immediatly registers that there’s alcohol (obviously, there always is, he expected it) but what he didn’t expect was annabeth to be drinking.

annabeth never drank at them before, why is she now?

percy wonders if she was doing it for him, come to think of it. he remembers telling her about gabe and how she didn’t press but he also remembers the look on her face when he told her about how sometimes it made him uncomfortable, especially at these parties, and just maybe she was trying to make him feel more comfortable

he also didn’t expect to see connor’s arm thrown over her shoulder and her leaning into him (way too similar to how charles and silena were sitting for him to like)

when annabeth tilts her head up and kisses connor on the jaw, something in percy’s chest snaps.

he doesn’t think anyone noticed that he was there yet, so he turns to leave because he can’t do this right now. he was here to tell her how he felt and she’s acting awfully couple-y with fucking connor and suddenly that night he found them in the strawberry field comes rushing back and he wants to scream because charles told him to tell her and he didn’t and now annabeth is with connor and he fucking blew it and he’s never going to get the chance to tell her now because she’s with fucking connor and he also feels horrible because he’s supposed to be her best friend and she would have told him if she liked someone, right? how bad did he fuck up if annabeth isn’t talking to him?

“hey, percy! come join us!”

“fuck. hey guys!”

annabeth and connor untangled themselves and annabeth moved over and there was definitely enough room for him to sit beside her (more importantly in between them) and he always sat with her but he doesn’t think he’ll be able to handle it if she starts looking through him to see connor or if she stops paying attention to him because connor started talking

he sits as far away from the two of them as possible and he tries super hard to not look at them but occasionally is eyes find their way over to her

she looks kind of nervous and he’s not really sure why

connor is just sitting there and he has a sort of confused look

percy is 99% sure he either looks pissed as hell or extremely sad

connor doesn’t really know what to make of it because you could cut the air with a knife right now. he really wants to move closer to annabeth and put his arm back around her because she was warm and her hair smelled good and it was annabeth and he definitely wants her to kiss him again, but this time not on his jaw

but at the same time he can’t help but look at annabeth and feel guilty for wanting that. he knows her well enough to know how she’s feeling, and right now she’s giving him scared vibes and she looks really uncomfortable

he also feels bad because he knows she likes percy

he knows

she’s told him

but here he is, and there she is, acting like she never told him that on their walk down at the beach while percy was missing.

annabeth is definitely confused because she knows she likes percy

she kissed him, obviously she likes him

but she thinks he likes rachel and she wants him to be happy

so she started getting closer to connor and now all of a sudden percy seems angry? jealous? he hasn’t said a word to her since he got to the party and he won’t look her in the eye.

they do make eye contact once and his eyes look so broken and her heart feels heavy

she doesn’t know how to cope with her feelings though, and connors there so she pushes whatever feelings she has for percy onto connor (basically what connor did with that daughter of apollo i mentioned)

there’s this one night a few weeks later where they’re both drunk from one of those parties and percy is off with rachel and annabeth just needs a distraction because all she wants is her percy back

she misses him so much and it hurts because she knows that this is their last summer together and next year the prophecy is going to be on top of them and they’re going to be fighting for their lives and there’s a good chance one or both of them aren’t going to make it back alive.

anyway they’ve both been drinking and connor is right there and annabeth is confused and wants percy somebody to love her and so her and connor sneak off to the woods and they end up making out and maybe his hands slip under her shirt and maybe her hands go up to tug on his hair while he presses her back against the tree and maybe their kisses are a little too rough and maybe she wakes up the next morning with a bruise along her collar bone and overwhelming guilt weighing her down

and connor can’t keep doing this

he loves annabeth, he really really does.

but he heard charlie whispering to silena the same night they sneaked off about how percy was telling him that he doesn’t know what to do about annabeth. about how rachel keeps telling him that he just needs to tell her because she’s sick of hearing him mope around about how annabeth barely talks to him anymore and how she’s always with connor and he thinks the two of them are dating and connor feels horrible

connor likes percy. it’s never been about him not liking percy. the two of them got along great, as long as annabeth wasn’t around.

there’s just something about the fact that she came crying to him about percy that sat with him wrong

but he knows that annabeth likes him, and obviously knows that percy likes her

and he can’t do that to her

he can’t let her run herself into the ground because she’s losing percy to rachel when she’s really not.

so he tells her that he can’t keep doing stuff like that with her

he doesn’t tell her why specifically, just that he knows she loves likes percy and that he doesn’t think it’s fair to either of them to keep doing it when she doesn’t like him like that.

it hurts and he doesn’t know whether to feel good about his choice or not

connor never really stops loving annabeth, but it shifts from being split platonically and romantically to being completely platonic by the time percy and annabeth actually get their shit together and start dating

he’s constantly pushing her to tell him the summer leading up the the battle of manhattan because percy’s birthday is coming up and they both know that he might not live through it and is she’s going to do something about it she has to do it now because the clock is ticking

once connor and annabeth stop doing the borderline couple-y stuff, the tension eases between percy and annabeth and connor feels good about making that choice for the first time

and everyone is watching percy and annabeth that summer and they all can see how they’re moving into a more than best friends state but neither of them want to bring it up

and when percy says “don’t I get a kiss for luck, it’s kind of a tradition, right?” connor makes sure catch her eye and wink before going off with travis.

and connor is the one that suggests annabeth makes percy a cupcake for his birthday, and he totally gives her shit until she agrees to tell percy how she feels because the war is over and they’re both still alive and she’s put it off this long and is she puts it off any longer connor is going to take matters into his own hands

“oh my gods, you wouldn’t”

“really? you don’t think i would?”

“connor.”

“annabeth.”

“…fine i’ll tell him…”

and connor feels really good when percy and annabeth finally kiss and him and travis are there to throw them in the lake

he’s really happy that his best friend is happy, and he thinks that it was always supposed to be this way, and maybe there was a reason she would fall for the son of her mom’s rival.

connor thinks it makes more sense this way, and he’s happy with how everything worked out for the three of them.

would i be friends with the pjo/hoo characters?

aha you didn’t see this coming did you? part ✨two✨ this series will be assuming they want to be my friend bc the last part showed how much i’m crippled with self doubt :D

thalia - she would be the girl who's style every "alt" girl (used to have the whole brandy melville store but had a style "glow up") was trying to copy, failing miserably. i wouldn't talk to her since i would think she does dr^gs so no :D

grover - he radiates positivity and he would've that one kid who is actually devoted to the climate change club while others are using it for their college apps. he would run around campus asking people to sign a petition or donate and i would gladly help his cause i love him :')

rachel - artsy girl who was percy's first girlfriend in middle school but recently came out as lesbian which caused a lot of uproar and rumors about how bad of a boyfriend percy is in and out of bed. anyway, i would take art to fill in my art credits for graduation and i would definitely compliment her art at least once but that's probably the extent of it 😃

silena - one of those surprisingly kind popular girls who has a severe case of an RBF but when she smiles- holy shit anyway i would be her bestie, i can just imagine us getting ready for prom or smth i love silena 😭

beckendorf - silena's boyfriend who is the TA of the woodshop class! i would take woodshop at some point so i would know him!

clarisse - mean-looking and buff senior (guys jealous of her muscles) who doesn't bully anyone but she ends all fights in the school...with the bully having at least a bloody nose. silena and clarisse would be close and clarisse would have a crush on silena for some time and it would be her gay awakening- akjdksf i love clarisse yes yes yes

stoll brothers - did i hear someone say class clown? im just saying, when they become seniors, the whole school closed down to recover from their genius pranks- i'd love them for putting a woopie cushion on my annoying ass calculus teacher's seat but that would be it, i wouldn't be cool enough :') also, after @skaterannabeth said connor is vinnie hacker, i haven't been able to see him any different so i would like him until i realized he's andro LMAO

katie gardner - ahh ms. office lady helper and president of the school's gardening club :') she would have the best and healthiest lunches and her favorite color is sage green!! be my friend please you're so sweet- anyway travis ask her out already sheesh

nico - thalia male ver™️ (just wanted to clarify that i don't think of them as the same in the books but in high school yes)

will - sunshine as a person. literally sunshine as a person. forgot to mention but annabeth is asb president, percy's her vice president (stan the man annabeth beat him), and will would be the secretary! anyway ball of sunshine, would secretly date nico until nice was comfy with announcing it and i just love him and would be friends with him

reyna - literally a badass, broke a guy's wrist when he said something misogynistic and she would be annabeth's bestie! i love her and would be scared to talk to her at first but would muster up the courage and she's super nicee

octavian - nerd and tryhard. dude, percy and jason aren't gonna add you to their friend group. would end up feeling bad for him after silena tells me about his backstory but no thanks dude

l*ke - his name is asterisked. what more do i need to say?

opinions on riordanverse ; my edition

a lot of people have been doing this so i decided why not right. probably gna lose some followers or smth but anyways. pls respect my opinions! if u disagree, thats fine, but please be polite. unless any of my opinions strikes u as morally wrong then pls point it out to me respectfully. thanks!

- i actually liked drew. im so sorry to everyone who hates her but full offence, why. think about it this way ok, first of all drew became hc because silena died. silena was the traitor, the one who betrayed chb, yet after she died campers celebrated her as a hero? and then drew suddenly has to replace her and live up to idk that legacy she left behind,, when all of a sudden this girl named piper swoops in and takes her place. idk abt u but i wld be salty abt that too. not only that, but as an asian, the chances of drew having faced racism/bullying as a child is pretty high (she studies at brooklyn academy). which means that when she finds out shes a demigod, and arrives at chb where most of the campers are white (this is an assumption btw), she’d obviously be scared of being bullied for her skin color right?? so the first thing she wld do before the campers get to bully her is to bully them before they can do so. (sentence structure here is wack i apologize) ofc this might not even have happened, drew could have had a perfect childhood && was a b1tch for no reason, BUT EVEN THEN HER ROLE AS A BULLY WAS PRETTY VITAL BECAUSE THAT FURTHER SHOWED THE CONTRAST BETWEEN HER AND PIPER,, HIGHLIGHTING PIPER AS A HERO//GOOD CHARACTER,, AND THEREFORE MAKING READERS LIKE PIPER MORE. anyway stop hating on drew please. ALSO WHY IS THIS SO LONGA SDFJHG

- jason isnt bland, the fandom just kinda erased his backstory (thanks to @pjohoo-memes for the phrasing lol)

- reynabeth wouldnt have lasted/would have broken up several times. idk i just see them as two extremely powerful characters who have firm opinions and will definitely clash at some point. in a platonic relationship,, i can see them as really good friends but as lovers? idk i just think theyll break up

- PIPABETH

- i dont really like jercy,, i see them as better friends than lovers. also idt jason and percy were that close..?

- the dam and not my type jokes are srsly cringey and were never funny. ik that seems hypocritical since my username literally makes use of the dam joke but honestly i dont actually like the joke. its not funny to me and has never been funny

- the seven were not best friends. they definitely argued,, and honestly probably werent as close as the fandom makes them seem. like ure dumped with 6 other people, out of which u only know a few. my introverted ass would have jumped off the argo 2 quicker than leo valdez could bomb camp jupiter up. also leo was a dick to frank. so what if frank is bigger sized?? thats not a valid reason to tease him

- the fandom needs to stop hating on octavian while worshipping luke. if u hate luke and u say u hate octavian too, then okay. but if u tell me ure a luke stan but u despise octavian?? imma disagree w u. luke was worse than octavian im sorry. first of all, octavian being a dick was kinda justified. hes been after the praetor position for so long, and everyone keeps saying to “wait for jason” when suddenly this dude, whos a son of NEPTUNE (neptune wasnt liked much by romans), and the camp decides to make him praetor?? dude i would be pissed off big time. and then afterwards, he finds out that greek demigods are real and the dude they made praetor is greek. AND THEN GREEK DEMIGODS COME TO CJ AND ONE OF THEM BOMB IT UP?? octavian has been told all his life that greeks are scum and this dude called leo valdez attacks cj. sure it was an accident, but did octavian know that? no. so it was honestly justified that he was such a salty prick im just saying. also some of yall be hating on octavian for cutting a teddy bear open and thats the funniest shit ive ever heard i swear

- luke didnt go to elysium

- travis and connor stoll r way too underrated. the two have been head counselors of the hermes cabin since luke was revealed as a traitor, can u imagine the stress? luke, the person they probably looked up to as a brother, betrayed them. and they didnt even have time to process this when they were thrown the roles of being hcs. that would have been so stressful and i would probably have broken down if i were them. the stoll brothers taking turns to wake up at ungodly hours because a new camper is crying and homesick and terrified, the stoll brothers having to comfort and take care of new campers, having to deal with the amount of people in that cramped space because not enough campers are being claimed fast enough. having to resolve issues between campers in the hermes cabin all the time. the stolls arent just comedic relief, and we need to stop treating them as such

- tratie shldve been canon idc idc

- demigods of the demeter cabin arent talked about enough and i love the fact that meg was demeters kid. like she isnt the child of one of the big three yet shes so powerful.

- we need to hype clarisse up more her character arc was phucking amazing

- rachel is overhated. sis found out greek gods exist and regularly come down to earth to fuck around and went “ok cool”. queen shit behavior methinks

- the floor 19 crew of mcga is srsly underrated. like do u even remember halfborn gunderson, mallory keen, tj, etc??? bc i feel like we only remember samirah, magnus, alex, and sometimes blitz and hearthstone

- sadie (tkc) was kinda annoying at first. i like her more now tho but i rmb not liking her for a phat while

- tkc and mcga need more love

- carter kane and jason grace arent boring. theyre just really sweet boys who are too good for this world and yes yes yes

- hazel and frank (especially frank) need to be hyped up more. i hardly ever see anything about them. also yall seem to forget that frank was literally made praetor and that even hecate admired hazel and was willing to fight beside her because of how powerful she was

- frazels age gap is kinda sketch but i still think theyre really cute

- nico definitely had trauma from going to tartarus on his own

- GROVER IS PERCYS BEST FRIEND

- annabeth isnt smarter than leo but neither is leo smarter than annabeth. ive seen a lot of discussions about who is smarter and heres my hot take on it: neither. theyre equally smart, just in different ways. leos a genius mathematically speaking. he has no issues solving math problems meant for people much, much older than him. annabeth on the otherhand, is great at strategies etc. she can make an army of 1000 more powerful than the enemy, even if theyre outnumbered. so in my opinion, both are equally as smart//u cant compare their intelligence, because their talents lie in two different areas.

- while i do agree rick riordan isnt a god and that hes bound to make mistakes,, AND that hes given us a lot of representation,, if the representation offends the people its sposed to represent, then theres a problem. im talking about piper as a poc and wearing feathers in her hair. im not a poc, so i cant speak for them on whether or not its wrong, because i dont know either. HOWEVER, i have seen multiple posts BY pocs talking about how they didnt really like rick’s representation of piper, and thats an issue. pocs have been and are still oppressed and discriminated against by many. as a white cis man, we cant really blame him for not knowing (tho he could have done a research,, asked some pocs,, idk), but by representing pocs in that manner, hes influencing impressionable kids/teens into thinking “oh pocs wear feathers in their hair all the time” etc, which isnt true. the pjo/hoo series is extremely successful, and kids who read the books will probably start forming inaccurate opinions on pocs. the amount of fan art that depicts piper with feathers in her hair dont help either. “but rick said so in the books, so its canon” yeah well rick isnt a god and he can get some things wrong at times. im not saying we should cancel him, im saying we should start educating ourselves and not spread false info like pocs wearing feathers in their hair all the time. also that snake song shit where she sang Summertime was just- yeah. bc heres the thing you can be racist, and still include minorities, but portray them in a racist way. And even then, ignorance isn't a thing to admire. Getting those facts wrong still has a major impact. It continues to perpetuate racist stereotypes.

“ With the feather thing, I looked it up myself; it takes less than five minutes to figure out that Cherokees don't braid feathers into their hair. I didn't grow up in the country where my parents are from. I have many other first/second generation American friends who have also been through that, with a bit of a disconnect from their culture. But something that most of us have in common is that when we didn't know something, and when our parents weren't that big of a help, we looked it up. We sought out resources online and through other people from our culture to be able to connect more with where we came from. Some of that took a Google search. So I find it hard to believe that Piper, a girl who Rick's trying to portray as someone who is attempting to connect with her culture and is totally against racist stereotypes, wouldn't know that eagle feathers aren't supposed to be braided into your hair casually. She may be disconnected from her culture, but she's also shown to want to connect back to it. Piper wouldn't be casually braiding feathers into her hair while also telling off people for being racist. It makes no sense.” - reddit thread (down below)

for those of yall who wanna know more please please read this, it has a lot of things i wanna add in here : https://www.reddit.com/r/camphalfblood/comments/gy3gl2/piper_mcleans_portrayal_is_innacurate/

as well as https://finding-my-culture.tumblr.com/post/189422373260/maxie-ratties-and-cattie-finding-my-culture

i will be posting screenshots of these in future posts so if ure viewing this on ig and u dont have tumblr,, dont worry

- the fact that most of the strong female characters in the series refuse to be “girly”, and ngl i dont really like that. just because ure girly doesnt mean u cant be strong.

- piper would have been a great way for him to start making the strong characters act girlier, but instead he went with the “I’m not like other girls” trope which is quite obnoxious to hear constantly, and I don’t think it’s necessarily great for younger girls to read that idea growing up. the closest we've ever had to a strong female character who was also into "girly" things was Silena. when I was younger I admired Piper's "I'm not like other girls" thing, but then I got older and realized that the whole mentality of "not like other girls" is super obnoxious, and a little bit toxic

i have a heck load more that i cant rmb rn but yeah feel free to add more

Ma'am pls I need to know about that sg1/pjo thing you so casually mentioned.. like you cant just drop that on us with no explanation >:/

thank you @spacey-iris for waiting so long for this answer!!! And, here we go...

OMG OKAY HEAR ME OUT BECAUSE THIS IS MY FAVORITE FANDOM IDEA I HAVEN'T SPEWED ON THIS BLOG YET

Full disclosure: in middle school I was Percy Jackson OBSESSED. Writing this post is bringing back memories...ahhh, the good old days before Blood of Olympus came out and I swore off HOO forever...

Going through it carefully, I seriously wonder if Rick Riordan was watching Stargate when he started creating this world. It's no wonder I love Stargate now.

Jack O'Neill = Percy Jackson

I mean, c'mon! It couldn't be more perfect! Both of them are smartasses, have decided it's their life work to act dumb even though they're actually smart as hell. Both of them have ADHD and are VERY fidgety. Jack's a lot more tragic than Percy, because he's fifty instead of sixteen. But they act exactly the same, are loyal to a fault, and wayyyyy too humble. Not to mention they both fall in love with blonde geniuses who laugh at their stupid jokes and are driven NUTS by their dumb acts! Totally the same person.

Sam Carter = Annabeth Chase

I mentioned this already a little. But again, could they be more similar?! Both geniuses who are unafraid to show their smarts. Badass in a fight, and ALSO the person who will draw up a plan to save the world. Both have slightly inept fathers and absent mothers. Both are a little confused when it comes to love, and both of them are tomboys. Plus, they look similar? Like, Annabeth could literally be a teenage Sam Carter? Okay. I'm done.

Daniel + Teal'c = Grover + Tyson

This part isn't quite as perfect, but the combination of Daniel and Teal'c still manages to give off the exact same effect as Grover and Tyson? Daniel's got Grover's clumsiness, Grover's penchant for trouble, but Tyson's innocence. Teal'c has Grover's wisdom and the whole "outsider" perspective Grover and/or Tyson often bring, but he also has Tyson's giant-strongman thing going for him. They both love food in the same way Grover and Tyson love food (okay, now I want a fic where Teal'c tries to eat Louis XVI furniture).

Janet = Thalia

You KNOW I'm right. Same no-nonsense attitude, same attitude towards Jack/Percy. Annabeth and Thalia are besties, Janet and Sam are besties. Okay, Thalia is taller. But with her ability to command the infirmary, Ms. Napoleonic Power Monger could totally pass for a child of Zeus, right?

Hammond = Chiron

I think this one is obvious? Very tired mentors/grandpas who never, never get any time off and have to deal with the fallout of ALL the shenanigans. At least Hammond isn't stuck in a wheelchair outside of the SGC.

Miscellaneous thoughts

does that make...Frank Cromwell...Luke Castellan??

I NOW WANT TO MEET JACK'S MOM MORE THAN EVER IT IS A CRIME WE NEVER GOT TO MEET HIS FAMILY

OH MY GOD IS JUNIPER SHA'RE THAT IS HEARTBREAKING

clarisse is totally maybourne

oh my god walter and siler are connor and travis stoll

Chain Reaction = that early part of Sea of Monsters where Chiron is gone and the camp is just NUTS

who from SG-1 is Zoe Nightshade? idk

Percy is about the right age to be Jack's kid. Oh my god Percy could be Charlie.

Does that make Sara equivalent to Rachel?!

Pete just doesn't exist. Because I don't think Annabeth ever dates anyone else? I like this reality

FUCK SILENA IS MAKEPEACE

Bekendorf (i know i am spelling his name incorrectly, i have not cracked the spines on these books for at least five years, cut me some slack) but anyway he could be...someone who dies...hmm...oh i know! kawalsky!

And - quite obviously - there's a lot of personal parallels for me here too. I absolutely HATED how HOO took advantage of the original characters, and then made fun of them/destroyed their characterization (ahem, ANNABETH). I know lots of people loved HOO more, but for me the last two books especially ruined the characters. Not to mention they kept dangling Percy and Annabeth in front of our noses and then made us read about people who were not them. Funnily enough, 5 PJO books + 5 HOO books = 10 books total! Guess what has 10 seasons? That's right, SG-1! And guess what I refuse to acknowledge the last two seasons of, because said seasons destroyed characterization? Oh look, it's Stargate SG-1!

Speaking of that - if I'm running with the parallel then Landry could be Coach Hedge. And Mitchell can be Fucking Jason Grace--huh, that works well. And I think Vala can be Leo - aka the only one I liked of the new characters! :D

GUYS I NEED TO REREAD THIS NOW

I NEED TO WRITE SAM AND JACK'S KID READING PERCY JACKSON

SELF-INDULGENT PERCY JACKSON AU TIME

#imagine sg1 but with superpowers #poor hammond #asks and answers #spacey-iris #pjo #sg1 #stargate #overdramatic fandom essays #my blogstuffs #this was so fun thank you for waiting

7. Lightning Strikes Twice In The Same Place

a/n: and I’m back!! (kinda). I’m still in the process of moving, I’m currently in a hotel room, posting this on really shitty wifi. Updates will be more regular when I’m settled.

read the others!: Masterlist

Luke was tired, and cranky, and genuinely did not want to be at the campfire.

But after Jason had his vision of Hera, of all people, and Piper got dragged in with a similar vision in Hera’s cabin, Chiron heavily suggested Luke appear at the campfire.

Despite everything, even Chiron couldn’t deny that Luke was one of the best warriors at camp.

So there he was, still at the fire, watching people singing How Grandma Dresses For War, goofing around, the Apollo cabin breaking out the lyres.

He kept glancing at Jason, furrowing his eyebrows. The boy seemed a little confused a lot of the time. He was young too, maybe a year younger than Percy? That would make sense, if he is who Luke is nearly certain he is.

Gods usually didn’t have more than one child with a mortal. Connor and Travis were the only exception to the rule, as far as he was aware. Castor and Pollux didn’t really count, since they had been actual twins.

Whatever little Luke knew about Thalia’s brother, he knew less about her mom. They didn’t talk about their moms, they weren’t important in the grand scheme of things.

But something told Luke this wasn’t just a godly parent connection.

He also could be completely off his rockers and exhausted and looking for connections that weren’t there because of the amount of stress he had experienced in the last three days, trying to find Percy, trying to keep Sally notified, trying to keep peace between the cabins without the tension relieving activity of capture the flag even though he was pretty sure he just caused more tension since any campers that were in the war didn’t trust or like him much, and relayed the information to the new campers.

“By the gods Luke, you’ll burn a hole in his head if you keep looking at him like that.” Connor commented, leaning back while eating a roasted marshmallow.

Most of the campers anyways.

“Oh shut up,” He rolled his eyes.

“Why’s the new kid on your radar?” Travis butted in, settling in on the other side of Luke after being dragged into a dance with an Apollo camper. “Think he’s cute?”

Luke contemplated telling the Stolls. They were pretty good at secret keeping- they had to be he supposed with the amount of pranks they pulled on everyone -but Luke wasn’t even sure it was considered a secret yet, just a theory.

The Stolls exchanged looks. Luke wasn’t even falling into the bait. They both sat up and glanced around.

“What’s going on?” Connor asked quietly. “What is it?”

Not to mention the incident with the fountain of Iris, Luke had gotten pretty good at pushing away the feeling of Kronos locking him in his own head, seeing his reflection and never being quite sure enough if he was actually looking at him. The job helped, Sally and Percy helped, Beth helped. For a moment he had felt normal.

But this couldn’t be a coincidence, could it?

It certainly wasn’t the first time he could’ve sworn his eyes were gold. In fact, if you looked closely, his eyes still had a gold undertone, a parting gift from the Titan King himself. Luke would never be able to escape his past.

“Luke,” Travis put a hand on his shoulder, and Luke reached for the sword he’d left back at the Big House.

Thank gods, otherwise Travis would be a Stoll-Kabab.

Travis and Connor weren’t serious often, but they could certainly tell when their older brother was off. He’d become an open book since Kronos.

“Luke, what’s going on?” He whispered. “Is it Jason?”

“Do you know his godly parent?” Connor butted in.

Before Luke could answer, Chiron came over, Piper and Rachel following suit, making an announcement about Hera, Jason and the quest he inevitably had to go on. Before they could inquire further, Rachel was reciting the Great Prophecy.

The second one that is.

Eight half-bloods will answer the call,

To Storm or Fire the world must fall,

An oath to keep with a final breath,

And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death.

With a brief latin interruption from Jason, a camper brought up a rather good point.

“Why isn’t he claimed then?” Someone shouted.

“He is claimed,” Chiron corrected grimly. “Jason, show them.”

Jason held out his arm, showing off the eagle, that same uneasy expression on his face. Luke watched him look to Piper before pulling a coin out, flipping it.

In an instant, Jason was holding a javelin, and everyone was gushing over it.

“I want one!” Someone from Ares Cabin shouted.

“It’s so much better than Clarisse’s electric spear.” Someone else commented.

Luke watched Jason look at his spear thoughtfully and his eyes widened, grabbing Travis and Connor and pulling them down moments before lightning flashed over their heads.

Before Connor and Travis could comment on Luke’s instinct, Chiron urged Jason to announce his godly parent.

“Jupiter- or, Zeus, rather. Lord of the Sky.” Jason announced, looking back at his tattoo.

“You don’t look particularly surprised,” Travis observed.

Luke leaned forward with his elbows on his knees, narrowing his eyes in thought. “He reminds me of Thalia.”

“Thalia?” The Stolls repeated, looking at him.

Luke nodded.

Before they could prompt their brother to explain, Rachel was reciting Jason’s personal quest.

Child of lightning beware the Earth,

The giants revenge the eight shall birth,

The forge and dove shall break the cage,

And death unleash through Hera’s rage.

It was clear now if it wasn’t before- the Second Great Prophecy was in the first phase, and Jason was meant to lead it.

After volunteering to go, Leo immediately made a mad dash for the forest- not a great start. Piper didn’t seem thrilled about the claiming but it certainly solidified her spot on the quest.

Piper and Jason went their own ways after the quest was assigned, and everyone was slowly trying to get back into the spirit of the fire.

Luke looked to the sky, lost in thought.

Why couldn’t things be easy, just for one night?

He went back to the Big House, going to his room and collapsing onto the bed.

He needed to get some sleep.

It was going to be a long time until he got a real bed again.
