Headcanons on Alabaster's father let's goooo!!! Warnings for death and childhood neglect

His name is Corvus.

Lawyer. They have a family law firm. Hecate's taste is boring men I suppose/hj

He was a worshipper of Hecate and when she showed up in front of him, he was over the moon.

So when he was handed baby Alabaster, freshly carved from stone (bets on what type of stone lol), he. well. He basically thought himself the witch Mother Mary and declared that he'd not waste her trust in him to raise the next Heracles

Oh and he has a rock/mineral collection.

Corvus, holding up a baby Al and pointing the empty square labelled 'alabaster' : That's you :)

Growing up this put a lot of pressure on Al, because his father didn't see him as a human but half-a-goddess. His goddess. Alabaster was a gift from her to him.

So when Al expressed any kind of basic human needs, Corvus was baffled. This resulted in a lot of childhood neglect, especially combined with Corvus being a workaholic.

Since Al was a childhood prodigy, his dad only interacted with him regarding his magic. That's part of the reasons why Al places his entire self worth on being his mother's strongest child.

In fact, Corvus forgot that Al ever came out to him as trans due to this. Can't deadname or misgender your kid if you don't remember they're trans in the first place, I suppose.

"Didn't you have a daughter???"

"Uhhh... did I?" Looks at Al shaking his head, "No, I didn't."

Corvus is one of those parents that is neurodivergent but undiagnosed and unaware so they're angry that their neurodivergent child cannot "force themselves through it" like they did

A lot of his attitudes stem from his own parents though, especially his father. Grandfather Torrington was even worse.

When Al was a toddler, they got the news Grandfather Torrington died during a ship accident while on a business trip, so Corvus as the sole inheritor moved from England to USA with his child to take the reigns of the family business and bought a mansion there.

Let's say none of the remaining Torringtons were sad about dear old Grandpa's death.

Most of Corvus's colleagues found him "eccentric" at best and made fun of him behind and to his face at worst. Some thought he was in a cult/hj

Regularly got jumpscared by his own son because Al has glow-in-the-dark, freakishly neon green eyes. Other than that, they're almost carbon copies.

"Dad?"

"OH MY— sigh... I told you to not sneak up on me."

"I threw up🥺"

"On your bed? No? Then go back to sleep"

"..okay"

Sometimes, when Al couldn't sleep and Corvus was up late working, he would get his "Magic for Beginners: with Pictures!" book and curl up on his dad's lap.

Corvus died in a ship accident, exactly one week before Princess Andromeda blew up.

Safe to say, Al had a slight "Is my family cursed?!?!" existence crisis after he almost drowned during TLO.

your sweetest compromise - Chapter 3

Alabaster grew up playing politics, but he doesn’t think he’s ever navigated something so ridiculous as making sure someone else’s marriage was consummated (or appeared to be—he never asked Annabeth if she planned to fulfill her obligations). When he follows the Sthenian servant into Annabeth’s drawing room the next morning, he has to force his gaze downwards lest Athena catch him rolling his eyes.

Annabeth and Alabaster scheme. Perseus throws in his lot.

Which of your fics you'd call your wildest ride?

it's quicker and easier (to eat your young)

Definitely. Not only my first published fight scene is there but also it was never supposed to be a fully fledged fic and just a one-shot of Al getting killed xd

If not then the war prize Al series purely bc of the amount of world building I (with help) did

What are some common themes you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenery, imagery, etc

Hmmm angst. Family dynamics. Some suicidal ideation, though that depends on the character. At least a little nod to the other gods if the character is immortal.

I really love describing clothes, hand and body movements also. (The same can't be said for rooms and scenery tho)

Fire imagery and metaphors when describing feelings! I also am very intentional on how characters refer to themselves/others. Father/mother instead of dad/mom, Lou Ellen instead of Lou, PERSEUS INSTEAD OF PERCY etc etc

What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to?

Minor to Major suicidal ideation. I'm not even kidding, someone get these kids some much needed mental help

Majority of my endings are either characters falling asleep or one-liner dialogue. I should probably practice my endings more in hindsight.

Comma overuse/hj
