☆ radiostar is playin': a 1000 times by hamilton leithauser + rostam…!
warnings: if you had already read trials of apollo… none, mentions of death (you know who) taglist: @emidpsandia
Five months.
Five months had passed since you couldn't have a good night's sleep. At first, it bothered you as they were just visions of something you didn't understand, then… upon seeing those brown curls, blue eyes.
His blue eyes were filled with determination, he was going to do it. Your heart raced, and you denied it while trying to do something, although you knew it was useless.
If Apollo let that arrow pierce him, everything would end, but he would save his friends (who were also yours), then your heart skipped a beat, seeing him like that; with his hands fighting his own survival instinct, the arrowhead threatening to sink deeper into his chest. All for Meg, for Jason and Piper. You realized he was indeed changing.
When one of those strange creatures approached him trying to remove the arrow, he clenched his lips and forcefully plunged it into his chest. Without a word. His blood soon soaked his shirt and you saw him fall to his knees.
—Apollo! —You woke up screaming one night and your roommate at the New Rome campus looked at you closely from her desk, and you knew she wasn't doing it because was friendly, but because it was too recurrent.
— Again —she said with noticeable annoyance in her voice as she went back to writing in her notebook. You settled back into your bed and covered your face in embarrassment, Romans could be too cold.
For almost the rest of the night, you tossed and turned in your bed trying to calm your breathing, you simply couldn't get used to it.
“In fact, it's quite normal, sister…” Percy said months ago, with a nervous expression. He knew exactly what was happening, but he preferred you to figure it out on your own, something you had already done more than enough by now.
You worried about your friends and you couldn't stay still, especially after what you just dreamed. But there was no way to communicate with them, apparently any form of communication had been failing for a while, and if everything went to hell…
You touched your chest at the same spot where Apollo had plunged the arrow, it was as if you could feel that pain too. You closed your eyes and only imagined him. His brown curls that played peculiarly with the blue eyes. Some freckles surrounded his nose and the pimples added a special touch, although you must have found him unattractive, over time you found him adorable. Your brain battled daily with the mix of feelings it had to process, and then another question attacked you overwhelmingly.
If that was shown to you, could he have also had a dream about you? And if so, what would he have seen? Maybe you studying, staying up those nights when the university cruelly took you by the neck or when visions of him and Meg roamed your mind, leaving you with so many questions. You grabbed the sheets anxiously and felt heat in your cheeks, did he see when you cursed him the first nights?, when you started crying for him?, when you started longing for him? You sighed and covered yourself up to your nose.
"One will long while the other fight, nothing more to do even if you try."
Everything still felt stupid, senseless, but you wanted to know.
And although you didn't know it, the answer was yes, and even if it wasn't as often as your visions, Apollo didn't need more to love you. Over time, on his mission, that feeling had only grown and matured.
He wouldn't lie to himself, he was at your knees the first time he saw you. But his layers of selfishness and superiority only forced him to see you as a mere mortal, probably capable of making him probably happy, all looking at him unilaterally and as an experiment. Considering that, he looked back, and he understood perfectly Poseidon and all those who doubted that prophecy, because of his ways and the risk that such a beautiful person as you would run.
Apollo only hoped that would change from now on with the new vision he had, being honest with himself, especially because now he not only wanted to be loved, but also to love you, to make you happy. He wanted to be a good man for you and he would not stop working for that.
Neither of you was prepared to face the following week. You just made your way through the crowd, spotted Reyna and Frank up front with hardened looks, but you could see Frank biting his lips, which never indicated anything good. Hazel made her way through the crowd and everyone looked to the center, you resisted the urge to run when you saw Apollo in the middle as the center of attention along with Meg, both holding hands and looking tired. Beside him, a coffin. And if they had traveled from afar to get to Camp Jupiter…
The world seemed to stop when Apollo's voice spread as much as it could singing the news, and while everyone held a scream, he made everyone's fear real. Jason was dead.
You couldn't believe it, five months, and the first time you saw Apollo again was carrying the coffin of one of your friends. You just ran back to New Rome again.
—Come on, get out of there —Reyna said, after Hazel tried for an hour. That was playing dirty because you couldn't refuse Reyna, the scandal that would be made in the dormitories would be too much. You opened the door. Both girls sighed in relief and hugged you.
—What the hell, Reyna? —You sobbed and looked into the eyes of the brunette. She just bit her lip, but her watery eyes betrayed her. Hazel just kept that face where she tried to control herself.
—We'll talk about it later, okay? I think you have pending issues that need to be addressed. You know Lester is here.—You frowned, and your teary eyes started shedding new tears.
—What? —Your voice broke in the middle of the word and Reyna took you by the cheeks, nodding, trying to calm you down.
—We'll cry and celebrate the funeral as it should be. But we're still here, you're still here.—Hazel nodded and both dragged you back to your bedroom, closing the door behind them.
—I think if you don't talk to him, he won't be able to concentrate and he'll end up ruining everything—Reyna said with a hint of humor in her tone while she braided your hair. Hazel wiped away your tears and smiled weakly.
—Oh, How? —You didn't remember sharing anything with anyone.
—The last time Percy came—Hazel laughed seeing your expression and you closed your eyes trying not to curse your brother.
—He's a damn gossip —You muttered.
New Rome had never looked so empty and sad, you walked through the almost empty streets and saw the vendors holding a sad smile on their lips. Then, you looked at him and it was like looking at light in a dark place.
—Um, Hi —he said, cheeks noticeably flushed. His hands were hidden behind his back, and he constantly swayed back and forth on his heels and tiptoes. You had no idea how you should react.
—Apollo?—your surprise was too evident and he didn't avoid nervously smiling, you took a step and he took another step back, preventing you from getting closer. You raised an eyebrow and Apollo showed what he had hidden behind his back, which was a bunch of freshly cut flowers. He had asked Meg to grow a few for you.
Seeing that this time, you didn't try to advance towards him, he felt embarrassed because he had probably crossed a line and tried too hard to his luck.
—I'm sorry, —he took another step back— I just know you don't feel so much revulsion towards me and they told me you know, well, I…— He fell silent feeling your arms carefully wrapping around his torso and that confirmed to him that you had also had those visions, there would be no other way for you to know about his wound.
His scent flooded your senses, it was a kind of mixture between soap and cologne that they probably would have lent him after showering upon arrival. Although your head was resting on his shoulder, you could hear his heartbeats almost shouting in your ear and Apollo never felt so close to dying, even with those difficult months on his back, visible on his skin with every mark and scar, some visible in places where the clothes didn't cover. When he placed a hand on your back closing the hug, you reaffirmed your grip, you had never held someone like this before.
Apollo didn't know how to react. His hands started sweating and he prayed not to do anything dumb, but the butterflies in his stomach didn't seem to be helping. Never in so many years did he feel like he had arrived at some home until you hugged him like that, and the least he wanted to do was make you feel the same.
When he couldn't resist the urge to look at your face anymore, he pulled away and you looked at him attentively, although in your mind you were still dealing with processing that. Were you already lovers? Were you something? It was hard to know because you had never exchanged more than two words.
—I think I've dreamed about you at least a thousand times—He said, laughing painfully struggling, so his voice wouldn't break. He felt terribly sorry that his meeting with you wasn't merely another stop on his mission, even without knowing what the result of all this would be and especially that the emotional disposition of both of you was fragmented by Jason's death, he feared you would blame him, but you didn't.
You smiled, and his knees failed him. He didn't want all that to stop him from having a couple of moments with you, after all, he wasn't a hundred percent sure of coming out of it safely either and, but yes, that if he had to give his life for others… even he surprised himself by not hesitating for two seconds.
—Me too—You admitted and took the flowers from his hand, keeping your gaze on the ground and he sought your eyes, he leaned down to your height and with his index finger on your chin gently lifted your head. He didn't know where he got that bold move from, but shortly after, Apollo felt his face burning.
—I don't have much time, nor will I be around for long because nothing is close to ending, but I want to spend with you the time I can.— Even though Apollo sounded determined and very serious about it, you let out a small laugh. He was completely flushed and biting his lips eagerly.
It seemed fair to you. And so it was, you took any opportunity to be together, to get to know each other and talk. never talked about the prophecy or what happened before because you could do that later, what mattered now was being able to share. To be honest, Apollo was also about to die at Camp Jupiter, but at least you could help him, be by his side and when they finished dealing with a bunch of zombies…
—I'll see you…—He wanted to say “soon” but he couldn't lie to you. He stroked your cheek and smiled shyly. His cinnamon curls waved with the breeze that brought the smell of your perfume and Apollo never wished so much to kiss you, but he had to resist.
—We still have things to talk about…—He nodded and you pulled him from the edge of his sweater to hug him.
Meg rolled her eyes while Reyna, Hazel, and Frank looked like the audience of a wedding, the son of Mars seemed to be on the verge of tears.
—It's just that he's so…—He blew his nose and Hazel stroked his arm.
—Don't get distracted by this. My wife has to graduate—He joked as he let go of your hand. You raised an eyebrow and smiled.
—I never said I was going to marry you.—Apollo nodded with a stupid smile and began to walk towards the camp's exit, he turned his head and widened his smile even more. He didn't want to stop seeing you until he really had to.
—But come back! —You shouted and he said goodbye, waving his hand. When he turned his gaze forward, fear invaded him.
“Do you think you can do it, Apollo?” Python asked in his dreams the night before. “Maybe just imagining her dressed in white is all you have”
—We will achieve it—Meg said, taking his hand, which he thanked.—You will see her again and you will do your stupid little romantic things.—Apollo let out a nervous laugh and nodded with tears on the edges of his eyes.
—Of course.

I left my room on the west side
I walked from noon until the night
I changed my crowd, I ditched my tie
I watched the sparks fly off the fire
I found your old house, I didn't even try
They closed the shutters, they pulled the blinds
My eyes were red, the streets were bright
Those ancient years were black and white.
-Hamilton Leithauser, Rostam

A fandom friend on here has chided me to make this a youtube playlist so I'm working on that. Without doxxing myself, I used to work something to do with music professionally so you may be surprised to find these songs are okay. Still much like Obata used to be pretty seriously concerned he'd be forever cursed for drawing the shinigami - I'm afraid I'll be eternally cursed for drawing inspiration from talented artists to work on any part of my silly fanfiction.

i'd be kicking the doors in
It was late and cold, far from home. She’d had the dream again.
Prompt by @naturalxselection. ANGST. Not what I usually write but I gave it my best shot! Title and inspiration are from "1000 Times" by Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam.
Serena/Abbie, Serena & Jack. ao3.
The building was nothing like she remembered it. Washed white, new shutters, blinds closed. It used to be beautifully worn. Serena had been here over and over and over again.
Abbie wasn’t there anymore. Serena knew, but her feet still carried her. It was late and cold, far from home. She’d had the dream again.
Serena heard a muffled cry from where she was in the bathroom.
“Serena,” she heard. “Serena, help me,” Abbie said.
She ran to the bedroom, only to find no Abbie there. She looked around, disoriented, the sound suddenly coming from behind her, then outside. She couldn’t see her but her voice was getting louder and louder until she was screaming for her.
“Serena, Serena, please!”
Serena woke from it like she always did, sweaty and crying, wide awake. She missed her. Without thinking, she pulled her coat on over her pajamas, then tucked her pants into her snow boots.
The walk was long, the night was dark, the cold was bitter. Her tears froze. An hour passed trudging through the snow on the ground, the slicing sleet that started falling thirty minutes in. She wished she wore a hat.
She was in front of Abbie’s old apartment. 2561, buzzer code 0810. Serena remembered the cozy living room and the full pantry. She remembered Abbie leaning across the dining room table to kiss her. She remembered Abbie in the moonlight tranquility sleeping soundly.
She remembered the phone call.
Hello? Serena said sleepily. It was about 9pm. She only answered because it could always be Briscoe or Green calling from a payphone.
“Hello, this is Dr. Mike Barlow calling from Mercy Hospital. You are listed as Abbie Carmichael’s emergency contact. You need to come to the Emergency Department as soon as possible, Ms. Southerlyn.”
Serena felt the panic start in her stomach and spread everywhere her heart pounded.
The last thing she’d said to Abbie was “So you’re just going to leave like that?” It was a stupid argument. Jack and Serena were at odds over the death penalty again and Abbie was taking Jack’s side. She left angry, but Serena thought she’d wake up in the morning and reconcile like they always did over things like this, frequent as they were.
She had yelled it as Abbie walked out her door. She didn’t respond.
Maybe Abbie only needed a ride home or a change of clothes or something. Maybe she was okay.
“What happened?” She said, her voice wavering around the words. “Is she going to be okay?”
“You need to come right now. She’s been in an accident and she has no next of kin listed.”
Her stomach dropped again. It must be bad. Serena hastily threw her keys and wallet into a tote bag and nearly ran to catch a cab.
When she arrived at Mercy she was greeted by a doctor with a grim look on his face. Serena shook.
“Ms. Southerlyn, I’m very sorry.”
Serena’s knees hurt. Her heart hurt. Her eyes hurt. She wanted to walk up the stairs and knock on the door to find a smiling Abbie, the woman she knew. Guarded, yes. Aggressive at times. Wounded. Sweet at her core. She ached for the hug she would never feel again, for the gentle kisses and calm moments on her couch. She began to weep.
”Serena, Serena,” Abbie had once sung to her when she came into her apartment, stomping snow off her boots. It was a song made up just for her. “Serenaaaaaa,” she sang.
“Thank God you’re here,” she said. “I had just the worst day.”
Serena slipped off her boots and her coat. The apartment was lit warmly and it smelled like cookies. Abbie and the stress baking— Serena loved her.
“What happened?” Serena said, walking up to her and embracing her tightly.
She kept her hands on her waist as Abbie said, “It’s taking so long to get used to my new boss and the way he wants everything done, I feel so stupid sometimes.”
“You’re the smartest person I know, Abbie. He sounds like a prick.”
“Thank you,” Abbie said quietly, genuinely. She kissed Serena carefully, like she was something precious, to be protected.
Serena couldn’t bear it any longer. She walked away again, aimlessly at first, then finding a direction. Her eyes stung and her hands were turning bright red. She was stupid to forget gloves and a hat. The visibility on the sidewalk was getting worse as the storm picked up.
After another half hour of walking, Jack’s apartment was before her. She knew it was late, she knew he was asleep, but she buzzed him anyway. Of course, he answered. It could be Briscoe or Green dropping by with evidence, as they sometimes did when they were nearby and it was urgent.
“Who is it?” He said over the buzzer’s intercom. Serena could barely get out her own name as the tears began again.
“Serena,” She said when she could.
“I’ll buzz you up,” Jack said, exhaustion, annoyance, and concern equally balanced in his tone. “What happened?” He said when he opened the door.
Serena was sobbing now. It was embarrassing, but she barely cared. Jack guided her inside his apartment and even though they never touched beyond a pat on the shoulder, he hugged her. She cried into his shoulder.
“I went to her apartment,” she said.
Jack sighed. He knew the feeling too well.
“It’s white now,” she said. “I thought, maybe it would make me feel better, Jack.”
“It doesn’t,” he said. “It never will.”
“I dreamed about her, screaming for me,” she said as her chest moved up and down erratically. “Why, Jack?”
“I don’t know, Serena,” he said. “We never will.”
He let go of the hug and Serena dropped down on his couch. Jack disappeared into the kitchen and came back with two glasses of scotch.
“I know it’s not the best thing,” Jack said. He also brought her a glass of water and made her drink the whole thing. Her breathing calmed and her eyes began to droop. They sat there and sipped in silence.
“It’s going to get better, Serena,” he said.
“It better,” she said.
