@strangcrthanfiction / @ghezenblessed was promised a starter for wylan!

“You miss me?” Annabeth’s not supposed to be back at camp. She’d left for New Rome barely two months ago, and now she was back, taking up her title as counselor of her cabin once again like nothing ever happened. “How crazy were things while I was away? Everyone seems to be in one piece.”

@ghezenblessed liked for a new athens verse starter!

“Ah, there you are.” Annabeth’s smile is genuine but exhausted as she hurries towards Wylan, heels clicking against the sidewalk. Why she decided to wear heels is a mystery to her, but she was feeling short is the best answer she can give. Still, they’re wildly uncomfortable, so she ends up doing an odd hopping walk so she can take them off as she approaches Wylan. “How many favors would I owe you to get you to come down to the Cabin Six meeting with me?”

@ghezenblessed asked for a starter! ( annabeth/wylan ; angst )

Annabeth doesn’t even know what to say. She’s sewing without really thinking anymore, just nonstop deft movements that are more muscle memory than conscious thought. She’s been sewing for hours, and is still nowhere near done. 

No one should have to make this many funeral shrouds. No one should have to make them at all, and not for so many fallen. Athena’s children, more demigods, sent to the Underworld for a war that wasn’t their own. They won, so why does it feel like they’ve lost? She keeps sewing, expression blank until she hears someone open the door behind her. She turns to look over her shoulder. 

“Wylan, hey.”  The greeting his halfhearted at best. “I’m not done yet. I’ve still.... still got to finish Jocelyn and Harry’s shrouds.” She takes a shaky breath. “How are you holding up?”

@ghezenblessed​ said : “ you looked away just now when you said that. are you sure you’re telling the truth?” (annabeth)

Annabeth can’t even manage to make herself meet Wylan’s gaze. She purses her lips, remaining at the very least composed for a few seconds before she exhales hard. "Okay fine, I  wasn’t making an offering,” she says. “I just wanted to go somewhere no one would try to talk to me for a bit, and Mom’s temple happened to be the place I ended up.”

@ghezenblessed said : who’s doing the best she can? annabeth, that’s who. (ghezenblessed for annabeth!)

“Thank you, I really am.” Annabeth looks out at the field she’s surveyed, trying to imagine her vision taking shape and failing. “I don’t know what made me think I could do this. I’ve had one architect gig and suddenly I’m some sort of genius? I can’t build an entire city.”

REPLIES TO MEMES I CAN’T REMEMBER / @ghezenblessed

strangcrthanfiction said : ❛  listen to me. we’re going to win. this is going to be fantastic.  ❜ (for annabeth from ghezenblessed)

“This is going to be a disaster.” Annabeth shakes her head. “Capture the flag is our game. The Romans are gonna’ take it way too seriously.”
