where: a bar in manhattan
when: early july
new york city in the summer was a different kind of energy; a blur of heat, and movement, and a constant buzz of noise. its ever-stirring rhythm even reached its spindly fingers inside parker's hotel room at night, the hushed murmur a sort of mind-numbing relief. though her travel plans so far this summer had been a mystery to even her, she should've assumed she'd eventually end up here. the city. enough ogden students lived on or near the island to warrant a visit, but it was more than that. parker loved it here. the rhythm, the freedom, the need for independence.
the nightlife. always something going on, luring you inside doors, down hallways, to the middle of crowds. the walkability made everything within reach.
that night, the distracting, near-overwhelming feeling had led both parker and jacqui through two bars already, the third just within their grasps. the redhead looked over her shoulder as she strode further into the mouth of the beast, making sure jacqui was still within sight, and the action earned her a sudden bump—or shove. "whoa!" she laughed, eyes widening as she found a spacious enough place to stand. "if only hamptons bars got this lively."
Saw a quiz about what color your love feels like and wanted to do it for my OCs, but since I have to be extra I made moodboards out of the results!
Jamil got warm burnt orange, Leon and Rodrigo got deep staining red, Jacqui got deep stormy blue, Theo got soft fresh green, and Alec got bright sunny yellow!
there was just something about jacqui in a dress like that, contrasting with all their tattoos, that made link go a little crazy. he'd always admired the way they looked at these events from afar, always taking note — but since that night in the closet at the valentine's day party, there's been a different view. like tonight, all he could think about is finding the nearest closet again. " how come you haven't let me tattoo you yet, jax ? " he questions with a small grin as he approached them, grabbing their attention with that as their greeting instead of any regular hello.

Percabeth Percabeth Percabeth (for the ask meme)
I'm having so much fun with this Writing ask game!
Jacqui, my love, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I haven't written percabeth in so long, i hope i can still do them justice.
For you, I am trying my best to not make it super angsty, but it did come up with Starlight by Starset. So.
The line i chose is
I don't know what to say / But I'm going to want you till the stars evaporate
Percy runs a hand down Annabeth’s cheek. “You're beautiful.”
She gives him a look. Her hair is thin and pale, no longer thick with golden curls. Her cheeks are taunt. Her eyes still hold a faint red within them, like the skies from Tartarus. She's as pale as a ghost.
But she's here.
“I look like I've just come back from hell.”
Percy lets out a soft laugh. “I'd argue it was worse than hell.”
Annabeth shivers and leans into Percy's palm. “You're right.”
“You're still beautiful,” Percy says. “Especially here. On Earth. Under the sun. In air that isn't killing us.”
She smiles something gentle. “Yeah, you are, too.”
“I know.”
Annabeth smacks him in the chest lightly but then grabs the front of his shirt. She kisses him and kisses him and kisses him.
I was going to have something about the stars to match the song more and then i remembered "The stars say hello" and got sad so foebfosnfonapf
What’s your problem, baby?
Get the fuck out of your head
U do no drugs, none of whiskey
On a daddy’s shelf
Fuck your fortune teller
Who lives right down on your street
I said what I said
And let me groove to what I made
When u seem to figure out, u see
(Hold on, she goes like)
U fucked up and u know it’s true!
What’s your problem, baby?
Get the fuck out of your head
U do no drugs, none of…

when & where: tri delta vday party, spin the bottle
they stumble into the designated “closet” for spin the bottle, and suddenly link gets a wave of nostalgia for a high school experience that he never got to have — and maybe that was for the best. no one really wanted to make out with an angry teenager. but right now, with the nice tipsy wave that they had going for themself and with jacqui by their side, they were pretty happy they decided to join in on the fun. it was a little dark in there, but not as far as not being able to make out their features. “ so you gonna kiss me or what ? ” he asks with a small laugh at the last word, leaning back against the wall. he was definitely relaxed, and pretty willing to makeout with jacqui despite their close friendship. so maybe he was a little slutty ! then it’s not like he was opposed to kissing a couple of friends for the fun of it all. “ we can also talk shit in here — that feels scandalous enough, too. ”
