I'm pretty sure Apollo would struggle to even pick up an axe. The poor thing 🤣

As much as I love the idea of Will wearing Lee's flannel after his death, I much more prefer a scenario where he was constantly trying to steal it when Lee wasn't looking. Lee got fed up with this gremlin child (affectionate) trying to steal his clothes (he knows that he should toss it out, burn it, but he can't bring himself to do it; it holds way too many memories) so he gets a green flannel and embroiders it with little sun symbols.

He hides it in one of the secret rooms in the infirmary, because he can't have any of his siblings – or worse, a spy – stumble across it in his cabin. He leaves it here and makes a promise to give it to Will on his birthday.

Over a year later, Will tries to find a place to hide – no one should see their head counselor and head medic cry. He finds this room and remembers the talks about it and how it was one of Lee and Luke's secret hideouts. He wants to leave; he doesn't need another memory of what it was and what it could've been. But his gut tells him to enter and he finds a neatly packaged box.

There's a green flannel and a note:

For my little brother, Will

— Lee

P.S. stop stealing my clothes!

He never takes it off.

Jason, putting a comforting hand on Percy's shoulder: Babe, what's wrong?

Percy, who's been rocking back and forth in distress for the past ten minutes: Firetrucks are actually watertrucks

Trials of Apollo where everything is the same except Apollo keeps the potted hyacinth from Cabin 7 and brings it along with him on his trials and after he reunites with Meg they find out she can commune with the spirit of Hyacinthus through it because Plant Powers. He's basically her own version of the Arrow of Dodona and they bond through how much of a loser (affectionate) Apollo/Lester is. The rest of the story is the same but they have the added stress of keeping this plant alive and away from harm (the Burning Maze was absolutely a nightmare). The angst potential of Hyapollo getting to reunite but only in a roundabout way through Meg and having to navigate their way through what their relationship means now and how they continue, especially once Apollo starts really getting character development is just *chefs kiss*. I imagine that before Apollo went to face Python he gave the plant to Meg, trusting that if he didn't return she would take care of his semi-dead plant boyfriend. (After he succeeded, they definitely remembered the Golden Fleece and brought him back)

"I know none of this will matter in the long run"

but it's about Leo building a whole boat in months just for it to explode right in front of his eyes

but it's about Leo dying and making this elaborate plan to live again so that he fulfills the prophecy but can also be happy with his friends only for the fates to pull a 180 and kill Jason

but it's about Hazel sacrificing herself, her life, her mother only for gaea to still be awaking when Hazel comes back

but it's Percy, Annabeth, Grover and every other demigod that fought in the first war when another starts

but it's Thalia after losing yet another loved one

but it's Sally because she knows that Percy isn't going to have a long and happy life because most demigods especially those of the big three aren't allowed to have those

but it's Jason after doing everything he can to make everyone happy and try and find a purpose even after Hera took his with his memories and he still ended up dying

[doydoune]

that certainly was an announcement

PJO X DC

Bruce: "Tim this is Duke Thomas. He's gonna be living with us from now on and is th-" *keeps talking*

Tim and Duke: *staring at each other and remembering how last summer they bombed a whole group of monsters, killed a humanoid monster in front of mortals which forced them into stealing a mortals vehicle while getting chased by mortal police and monsters in disguise*

Tim: "Nice to meet you Duke" :)

Duke: "Nice to meet you too" :D
