[punkeropercyjackson]

Concept:Percy Jackson but he gets to fully embrace and participate in punk subculture

Afrosolarpunk/Afropunk with a mix and match of edgy and earthy fashion and lifestyle and kidcore thrown in there too

Thalia was his first real experience with the culture headon and it partially fueled his jealousy of her,along with some gender envy

Knows how to diy things that don't even exist

Straightedge because of Smelly Gabe trauma

Transfem bigender with he/she/they pronouns and a whole buncha neos and was on diy'd estrogen for a short amount of time compared to full transitions and got no surgeries for extra gender fuckery.Fem-leaning/femme ofc,she's about as manly as Ramona Flowers

Platonic soulmates by choice in every universe and intergenerational best friends with Nico and Hazel,who Sally legally adopted post-Boo,as the Dead Sea Siblings and radicalized them as their pseudo-parent and punk mentor who took them in from the start(literally already canon minus the Sally part).Nico is afrogothpunk and Hazel is pastel afrogothpunk

Harrasses Poseidon into giving her money for Nico's chronic pain meds and mobility aids and gives Hazel special treatment like the black princess she is to help her heal from adultification trauma and diy'd their hrt for them and taught them everything they know about punk

Family thrift stores trips,including Sally

Sets up a vegetable garden at home with her permission too

Has a pair of colbat blue and black demonias gifted to them by Beckendorf

Goes on petty crime sprees,to underground parties and shows and to protests and charity events and riots

Self-diagnoses with autism and bpd since doctors clearly weren't going to

Special interests in blue,the sea,anarchy,kidcore,cats,video games,energy drinks,child care and the Superfam(DC)

Only plays her games on secondhand consoles and emulators and free ones,pirates all her shows and movies and seeks out indie creators on anti-capitalist principal

Rachel is afrosolarpunk too and they researched their subculture together back in their freshman year at Goode High and picked the same subtype in an epic besties moment and they also started participating in it for the first time with eachother

6'4.I do not support the 'Annabeth should still be taller than Percy' agenda so hard in the reverse direction i ended up with that('isn't that heteronormative though-'i don't ship Perc.abeth,hope this helps!!)

Baby dreads in TLT,wicks by TTC,twists with a faded from gray to white streak in TLO,an afro for most of SON since he didn't remember what hairstyles he likes but gave himself dreads with muscle memory near the end,adds diy'd sea material based beads in MOA,grows out his hair so much by the time he's 19 he switches to locs and dyes it the mermaidcore style due to his transfem egg cracking(his chosen colors are aqua,purple,yellow and pink and per the style requirement the base black color and the white streak are still visible)

Spider bite,eyebrow piercing,forward helix on both ears and tongue ring(all done at home)

Favorite energy drink is cotton candy bang and perfers street truck fast food to restaurant chain fast food

Also learned how to diy McDonalds packaging(based on me irl btw)

Her battle jacket is black with silver studs and got dominican flag and anarchy symbol pins and a trans flag patch while all the personalized patches represent her most important people

Learned how to play guitar and has a sea blue one stacked with gifted to her stickers

Graffitis with Hazel on the regular

And helps her out with her supernatural bussiness website she coded herself,although he lets her handle things with it most of the time on her own at her insistence out of wanting to prove herself

Shark kin and calico cat therian who makes otherkin items both for herself and her loved ones(like Frank)

Steals Domo and Polly Pocket merch and the Dead Sea Siblings stole matching Aquapets for themselves at one point they still have to this day

Movie of all time is Wendell & Wild and it's fairly influenced by how much Kat Elliot reminds her of Hazel

Lifelong My Chemical Romance fan who got into it before The Black Parade even dropped and tweaks whenever people act like Mcr isn't a punk band and 'emo' and Gerard Way was and is her idol as a 2000s egg and she introduced Nico to Mcr inbetween Botl and Tlo as bonding as they repaired their friendship that would never be broken apart again.But she also listens to The Ramones(again,canon,she gifted Nico a shirt of them),Korn,Paramore,X-Ray Spexs,Direct Hit!,Alt Black Era,Meet Me @ The Altar,Lo-Fi Beats and rap in general with a preference for hip hop and her favorite rappers are Teezo Touchdown and Megan Thee Stallion.She hates Taylor Swift so much and has done multiple skits roasting her on her vlog channel

Killed Luke in Tlo as the true hero of the Great Prophecy and revolutionzed the greco-roman mythos world in a one year later four book four year Hoo sequel titled Tales of Dead Seas as a series and the four books in question titled in order Elysium on Earth,Petallic,Arcane Rot and Unmythologizable,kicked off with her shattering the cycle of abuse by killing Zeus in the first book

Blue laces on her doc martens thanks to above

She lugs around a blue backpack given to her by Hestia in Tods that regenerates that is full of essentials,emergency items and fun things like motivational stickers and she(Percy) dubbed it 'The Backhomepack'

When it comes to makeup,she does black eyeliner tears,glittery blue lipstick and aquarium nails and she even makes her own makeup

Gave up skateboarding because of posers but picked it up again when her transition started as symbolism(she was a skater boy,now she's a punk girl with a pretty face)

Has a 'Protect Trans Kids' banner in her room for Nico and Hazel but also the Camp Half-Blood kids,who she also radicalized but unintentionally simply by being so cool to them and nurturing in her treatment they went punk to be like her and some of them even call her 'Dad',which makes her tear up every time,and she teaches them about/gives them resources on punk too

Street cred in the mortal world went from 'weird troublemaker' to 'that cool Manhattan punk you can go to for basically anything because they know basically everything'

Instead of a marine biologist or camp counselor,he lives the urban punk life as above described and his job is working part time at the family bussiness Sally opened up called Familia Jackson Beach Shack

Her and Thalia meet up pretty often to catch up and punk it up i.e do what they usually do but x2 combo on the chaos/anarchism and Percy always takes her to FJBS for double cheeseburgers and copycat cotton candy bang at the end

(Also Percy looks like fanon Thalia and Thalia looks like fanon Percy but they're both trans women.Insert that one meme here)

Has anyone requested 30 with druig 👀👀👀👀

A/N - This is sweet for Druig! Thanks for requesting this, anon!

Safe

Summary - There's one piece of item from Druig that you tend to steal, yet Druig doesn't have the heart to take it back

Warnings - Just some fluff :)

"So am I going to get it back anytime soon?"

"Nope!"

"Why did I even ask?"

"Because you love me?"

Rolling your eyes from your spot, you thumbed another page in your book as Druig was stretching out in your shared bed on the Domo. He ruffled his hair, peering over his shoulder at the view of the galaxy right outside your window. You stopped your reading to look too, seeing the clusters of stars and the mixtures of constellations that seemed like arm's length away. It has been some time since your saw outer space like this, since the past 7,000 years you were on the ground, looking up from Earth and wondering if you were ever going to return home.

Well, that got complicated real fast.

"I've missed these stars," You voiced as you placed the book you were reading on your lap, reaching over to rub Druig's back with your fingers as he was watching the same view as you.

"I miss the jungle more," He replied softly, you humming as he looked away from the stars and up at you with a cock of his head, "Especially you in the jungle, gettin' a tan from bein' in the sun and the highlights in your hair,"

"I had to get sunburns to get that tan, and I'd rather not do through with that again thank you very much," You stated, hearing him chuckle as you ran your fingers in his dark hair, "But I miss the jungle too. I can't help but miss it since we lived there for 500 years,"

"Our people livin' in peace," Druig agreed with a soft smile, "They'll be alright without us there,"

"Thanks to you," You reminded him as you pressed a kiss on the top of his head, "And yet Sprite and Kingo thought you were running a cult,"

"Of course, they would," Druig grumbled as you had to laugh, "Just because we wore comfortable clothes doesn't mean we were in a cult." He paused and looked at the article of clothing you were wearing, an eyebrow raised in your direction.

"I happen to like that robe you're wearing, which happens to be my robe," He reminded you, making you look down at the dark blue robe you were wearing over your tank top and pajama shorts.

You loved this robe, a gift from one of the elders in the village some time ago as a symbol of appreciation towards Druig. He was a great leader for the people in that village, they would follow him to the ends of the earth without Druig ever using his mind control. Druig took care of them with all his heart, the way he wanted to care for all the humans on the planet. You were honored to be a witness to his kind gestures and empathetic tasks. So when he got a robe as a gift, he made the mistake of letting you wear it one night when you two went swimming in the river behind the village.

Since then, you would steal it from time to time.

It was harmless when you would wear it, and Druig wouldn't care really. You used it when you got out of the shower, when you were needing something to cover your shoulders while you were reading a book in your little cabin, you even wore it when you were clearing out some of the farmland that was in need of new crops.

Yet every time you wore it, Druig loved seeing you wear it.

To you, it was more than just a piece of clothing that belonged to Druig. It was a part of him, his own soul engraved in the fabric as you touched it with your fingers. Druig was never one for material things, he would rather have a handful of things to his name on Earth and the rest he would let slip away.

But the handful of things was significant to him: his beaded bracelet that was a gift from Makkari, his wedding ring that he rarely took off since you two got married centuries ago, and the blue robe that was gifted to him, he knew you wore that robe more than you ever did.

"I can't help but wear it! It's a great robe," You reasoned as Druig sat up on the bed, facing you while crisis crossing his legs on top of the blankets, "I should have asked that woman to make a second robe for me,"

"And for us to match? I don't think so," Druig snorted as you grinned, "No, I prefer you to wear it more than me. It suits you,"

"What? Me wearing your robe?" You questioned, Druig nodding his head, "Honestly, why do you like me wearing it, Druig?"

" 'Cause I know it brings ya comfort and peace," Druig merely replied, making you pause as he tilted his head at you, "I know you wear it not just because it's comfortable and all, but I know you wear it...when you're not yourself,"

He was right, Druig was always right when it came to you needing comfort. Running a village for 500 years was no bed of roses and no easy walk in the park, there were harder times and stressful moments. Sickness and disease came and would take lives in their wake, World Wars that were so close to invading your little piece of heaven gave you stress, and the unfair deaths of innocent villagers made you grieve. Although it could be worse in the real world, it still was painful for you to see death and pain within your tiny population.

Druig held you in those moments of course, but he also had to keep the village running and help their grief as well. You would slip on the robe and would simply hold it close to your body in those dire times: breathing in the scene of Druig through your nose, digging your fingernails into the fabric to ground yourself, and sometimes you would fall asleep in the robe, picturing it was Druig holding you close.

The last time you wore it to bring you peace was right after the almost Emergence, taking in all that happen and the deaths that affected you too. You thought of Ajak and Gilgamesh and you missed them, you thought of Sprite becoming a human and no longer an Eternal and you missed her. You thought of Ikaris and what he did to the family, and you missed his old self.

Druig found you curled up in the ball in your old room of the Domo, crying and unleashing that pain that was inside. He silently took out the dark blue robe from his duffle bag that he packed the day he left the village, draping it over your shoulders and holding you close to make you cry.

It was more than a robe, and Druig was willing to let you imprint on it.

So you felt Druig rearrange the same blue robe you were wearing, you smiling softly as he then pressed his forehead against yours and kissed your cheeks and nose carefully. Even while you two were out in space looking for other Eternals that could exist, leaving all that you knew behind, you once again felt safe with Druig not just because of his robe, but because of him.

Druig would always keep you safe, even if it meant you wearing a simple dark blue robe

The End

Can I request a druig x eternal!reader with the prompt "most people wouldn't cuddle in the pouring rain but we're built different" from Prompt list A?.. 👉👈

Druig x Reader

WC: 405

A/N: Anon I- I'm obsessed with this prompt! Thank you so much for requesting this ♡

"Where the hell is Phastos with the Domo? It's freezing," Kingo grumbled through chattering teeth. Ajak, like the mother she was rubbed the shoulder plate of his armor, her eyes looking up at the dark cloudy sky.

"He'll be here before you know it, let's all just try to relax," she told everyone calmly.

"Yeah," Gilgamesh chuckled teasingly from behind Kingo, "There might be a Deviant behind us," Gil punched him in the back causing Kingo to jump.

Five of you were huddled in a shallow cave, protecting yourselves from the sudden rainstorm. The loud roar of the rain hitting the rocks and ground made you smile, distracting you from the others. It was almost like your body was in control, gathering the bottoms of your skirt as you slowly walked out into the rain.

The copious amount of water almost instantly soaked you as you stepped out from the cave. You giggled with a bright smile as you looked up, closing one of your eyes as one of the drops of water hit it.

"What is she doing?" Ajak scoffed, worried about you being out in the cold rain with a Deviant still on the loose.

Druig smirked with admiration as he watched you, so happy with yourself as you enjoyed the storm. "I got 'er," he told them simply, before walking out into the storm.

You suddenly felt two hands on the sides of your hips, a small gasp escaping your lips as the strong grip spun you around. A blush graced your features as you saw him; his dark hair stuck to his face, beads of water clinging to his skin like the kisses you placed there in private.

Using your cold fingers you swipe away the hair lingering on his forehead, "What are you doing, m'lady?" he asked, pressing his forehead to yours.

"Enjoying the storm," you tell him, placing your hands on his chest plate. The hands on your hips made their way to your lower back, his fingertips pressing into the soft wet fabric. "Why are you out here?"

A sudden kiss to your lips gave you the answer you were looking for, Druig soft lips gliding on your own. Taking your hands off his chest, you place them on the sides of his jaw to pull him closer to you. The warmth from his embrace made you feel like you could stay out here in the cold rain all day.

wishing on dandelions

Summary: Druig finds the courage to finally tell Makkari how he feels and I comes from the most unlikely place.

Inspired by Ruth B's song "Dandelions"

A/N: The floodgates have opened and I cannot stop writing these too. I think it's because I watch Eternals almost everyday lol. I was working on two other Drukkari fics when this idea struck me and I had to write it. I hope you all enjoy :)

Also on AO3

X

Druig sat on a blanket in the sprawling grass of Ajak’s property. Clouds drifted lazily through the sky as the sun shone down on him causing sweat to bead down the back of his neck.

He pulled at the grass at the edge of the blanket and twisted a few blades between his fingers as he watched the scene before him.

Further down the hill, Phasto’s husband and son were playing catch together. They’d been outside since the sun rose that morning. Druig suspected that that was Phastos’ doing, keeping Jack occupied so he didn’t ask too many questions about his “friends from college”, who just so happened to have super powers. But the kid didn’t seem to mind.

Makkari had joined them not too long ago, eager to join in on the fun. Their game had quickly turned from simple catch to Ben and Jack chucking that ball as hard as they could and Makkari using her super speed to snatch it out of the air in the blink of an eye. Every time Makkari would catch a particularly difficult throw, Jack would erupt into a fit of giggles when she tossed it back. It made a small smile tug at Druig’s lips.

He wondered what it might be like, to experience such delight at something as simple as throwing around a baseball.

Druig watched as their game of catch quickly turned into a very serious game of tag. Makkari jogged around at human speed to avoid getting tagged before zipping expertly out of reach when Jack got too close.

Her smile rivaled the sun in radiance and Druig decided that he could watch her like this for the rest of eternity.

Eventually, their game ended when Jack grabbed Makkari around the waist and pulled her to the ground before she could speed away again. They both stayed on the ground, a fit of giggling taking them over. They only stopped when Phastos and Thena came walking back from the Domo. Phastos had spent the last few days working on repairs and a few improvements. According to him it would be at least another week before it was ready for a trip into deep space.

Druig watched as Jack sprung up from the ground and ran to the pair, excitedly chattering on about how much fun he’d had playing with Makkari. Phastos grinned and showed Jack how to sign his thanks and ask her to play again later.

Makkari held a hand against her chest and nodded emphatically, assuring him that their game was far from over. Jack grinned up at her and let Phastos lead him back to the house, Thena and Ben following after them.

Makkari stood and brushed the grass from her jeans before her head turned toward Druig. In a brilliant flash of gold she disappeared and reappeared on the blanket beside him.

Druig felt his heart skip a beat when she laid her head on his shoulder and let out a sigh.

He chuckled and signed, Worn out by a ten year old? You’ve lost your touch, Makkari.

She lifted her head to give him a playful glare, but her content smile returned a moment later.

You should join in next time, she told him.

Druig chuckled and shook his head. “It’s more entertaining from up here.”

Afraid you’ll lose to a kid? She teased, giving him a gentle nudge.

“Terrified,” he told her sarcastically. “He’s taken a real liking to you.”

Makkari smiled softly and ducked her head. He’s a good kid, she signed dismissively.

Druig watched her play with the sleeve of her shirt in awe. She really had no idea the effect she had on people. Druig had felt it the moment they arrived on Earth, the pull to be near her, to make her smile. It was like gravity and only a fool would resist falling into her orbit.

They sat together for a little while, content to just soak up the beautiful day while it lasted. Druig continued picking at the grass while Makkari sat back on her hands with her face turned to the sky.

She cracked an eye open when he let his gaze linger on her for too long, but he couldn’t bring himself to feel embarrassed or look away.

What? She questioned with a raised eyebrow.

“You’re beautiful,” he said without hesitation, and smiled when he saw her cheeks darken as she bit her lip.

Flirt, she accused.

“Can you blame me?” He asked seriously and Makkari’s brows furrowed.

Something behind him caught her eye and she reached across his lap to pluck a dandelion from the ground. She held it out to him and nodded her head for him to take it. Druig raised an eyebrow, but accepted the gift nonetheless.

“What am I supposed to do with this?” He asked, looking between her and the dying weed.

Make a wish, she explained and reached behind him to grab one for herself.

“A wish?” Druig repeated. “On a weed?”

Makkari rolled her eyes and held up her own dandelion.

You make a wish and blow away the seeds, she signed and closed her eyes. After a few beats she blew on the fluffy white wisps. They floated away in the wind and she opened her eyes with a smile.

See?

Druig nodded and looked at his own dandelion. He felt a little foolish making wishes on weeds, but he was always more than happy to indulge her whims. With one more glance at Makkari, who smiled encouragingly, before he closed his eyes.

He could have very easily just pretended to make a wish, but he thought for a moment. If he believed that wishes could come true, there was only one thing he ever wanted.

It was her, always had been. He’d spent so many nights dreaming of her smile, the way her brows wrinkled in annoyance at his teasing, the way she always seemed to find the good in everything. How long had he wished he wasn’t afraid to tell her how she made him feel, how she was the light at the end of his tunnel of turbulent thoughts? He’d been so afraid that she would hate him for turning his back on him when they’d finally reunited. But the moment he laid eyes on her and she smiled it felt like no time had passed.

He’d promised himself that he was going to finally tell her after Ikaris almost killed him on that volcano, but he couldn’t find the words. His old fear that his feelings wouldn’t be returned seized him once again and he held his tongue for fear of losing the friendship that they had.

And so he wished for courage.

He wished for her.

When he opened his eyes, Makkari’s were on him, studying him like one of her beloved artifacts.

What did you wish for? She asked curiously.

Druig smirked. “I’m not telling you,” he said seriously.

Makkari’s mouth fell open and Druig couldn’t help but chuckle.

Why not? She asked.

“It won’t come true if I tell you,” he said, trying to keep a straight face.

She rolled her eyes before raising her eyebrow.

What if I told you my wish? She offered.

Druig made a show of thinking it over for a moment, tapping his chin and furrowing his eyebrows.

“I might be persuaded,” he conceded, feeling his hands begin to sweat.

Makkari hesitated for a heartbeat before she slowly raised her hands.

I wished for us to stay together, no matter what there is to face out there.

She pointed toward the sky and Druig felt his heart clench.

“Wish granted,” he said, a lump forming in his throat. “In this life and the next, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than by your side.”

Makkari smiled and reached over to squeeze one of his hands.

Your turn, she signed, looking at him expectantly.

If Druig’s palms were sweating before, they were practically dripping now. His heart pounded against his ribcage and his mouth went dry.

“I-“ he started, but faltered.

Makkari gave his hand a reassuring squeeze and Druig took a deep breath before going on. It was now or never.

“I wished for courage,” he finally told her.

She tilted her head to one side, her eyes searching his.

Courage? She questioned. To do what?

“To tell you,” he paused, anticipation making his hands shake. “To tell you that I love you.”

He watched shock wash over her face and he closed his eyes, unable to watch her find a way to let him down easy.

Her fingers against his cheek shocked him and his eyes flew open to find her looking at him with a watery smile.

I love you too, Druig.

It was his turn to look shocked, but a little voice in his head told him that she didn’t mean it the same way he had.

He opened his mouth to apologize and tell her that it was okay if she didn’t feel the same but she covered his lips with her finger.

I can’t tell you how long I’ve waited for you to say those words.

Druig’s brows shot up before he let out a soft chuckle.

“I thought I was supposed to be the mind reader,” he joked, tension seeping out of him.

Makkari laughed silently and stroked his cheek with her thumb. She pulled her hand away and Druig missed the contact immediately.

I have had millenia with you, Druig. I don’t need to read your mind.

“You never said anything,” Druig pointed out.

Makkari sighed. Maybe you weren’t the only one who needed some courage.

Druig laughed at that. “We make quite the pair, don’t we?”

I’d say so.

Druig smirked as they gazed at each other, their revelation settling between them. He felt absolutely giddy and he could see her own joy reflected in her eyes.

He cleared his throat and looked down at his hand before he met her eyes again. He briefly wondered if it was too soon to ask for something he’d only dreamed of before now.

But it seemed Makkari was already one step ahead. She scooted closer to him, her eyes drifting to his lips. Unconsciously, Druig leaned in to meet her until their foreheads pressed together. Their breath mingled as Druig brought his hand to her cheek. She closed her eyes and leaned into his touch and tipped her head up slightly to brush her lips against his.

Druig moved to capture her lips, but he suddenly froze and pulled away when Phastos called out to them from the house.

“Love birds, lunch is ready!”

Druig groaned and rolled his eyes and Makkari looked at him in confusion. He pointed to Phastos who signed what he’d just yelled and she rolled her eyes too.

“Great timing man!” Druig yelled back as Makkari laughed.

She stood from the blanket and offered her hand. Come on.

“I’m not hungry,” he said defiantly, but took her hand nonetheless.

We both know that’s a lie, Makkari signed, shaking her head.

Druig huffed for show, but didn’t argue as she slipped her fingers through his and pulled him toward the house. He tugged on her hand when they reached the back door and she turned to look at him, confusion written all over her face.

“Wait,” he said, scuffing his boot against the aging wood of the porch.

What’s wrong? She asked.

“I’m not ready for this moment to end yet,” he told her honestly.

She smiled softly and took a step closer to him.

We have an eternity of moments to create.

There was so much certainty in her eyes that Druig had no choice but to believe her. He brought their joined hands to his lips and kissed the back of her hand.

She reached out to pluck something from his hair and held up one of the dandelion wisps they’d blown into the wind. She let it go and he watched it drift back into the yard.

In his distraction, he didn’t notice her rock onto her tiptoes until her lips pressed against his in a quick peck. Too soon she pulled away with a wink and hurried into the house, leaving Druig to stare after her like a lovesick teenager.

He shook his head and followed after her, unable to wipe the goofy grin from his face. In all his years he’d never imagined he could feel so happy. He didn’t even care that Phastos had rudely interrupted their first kiss.

And to think all it took were a few wishes on dandelions.
